Is it an app?

EDIT:  So I downloaded it.  Is there a "word of the day" thing?  Oh, and the ads can eat my ass and balls.

It's NYT. There's a new one daily. You can just google wordle and it should be one of the first few options.

So I got today's in three.  Is that good?

I'm confused. Do you have to use all of the letters in the first page?

Mastermind is a great game! Had it growing up. My sister has it, I have played it with her kids.

Just played my first Worlde. 0-1.
Maybe the grass is greener on the other side because you're not over there fucking it up.

I have zero recollection of that. I seriously don't think I've ever seen it.

I got suspended today for 7 days off of Facebook for telling my buddy that I hoped Toto would kick his ass live.


Can you imagine if I wielded that power to have Toto the band attack any friend I wanted?

Maybe a sign to just stay off facebook.  I've become such a hater of facebook the last couple years.

Haha wow :lol

Well, there's nothing that a hundred Joe's or more could ever do.

You'd think a company like Meta would have a better sentiment scoring analysis / capability in their algorithms or  police-bots or whatever issues the bans.

I just don't post on FB.  I follow, and make a few comments a month here-and-there, but it's mostly to take in information for me.

I use it mainly to hang around in discussion groups, I've made quite a few acquaintances there over the years. And my family have a closed group where we organize family gatherings and stuff. It's great!

You'd think if I meant to attack my friend I would have used a death metal band at least.  LOL

Bam. Passed my road test. I'm now certified  by the DOT to drive commercial vehicles, not carrying hazmat, up to 26,000 pounds.

Fuck yea.

Jay man you've been really killing it! Congrats!

JayOctavarium

Thanks guys!

I'm probably making out to be a bigger deal than it actually is... But honestly most of the times when I have taken chances with a job, Its turned to shit... So I'm taking every victory I can take. I don't know if I'll eventually move up into higher weight classes (I'm pretty sure anything higher than I have right now requires a CDL), but it's an option in the future.


Also... My company is looking to promote within for dispatch trainees. I'm torn on whether or not I want to put my hat in the ring or not for it. I know that if I ask, I'll likely get it unless there's a bunch of people with more seniority who also want it. I think it's only a small pay bump on top of the raise I'll be getting for getting DOT certified... And dispatchers still drive routes at least 1 day a week depending on the need, but I don't know if I'll want to spend 8-13 hours a day sitting on my ass yet. I'm enjoying being on the road, especially since I've been on rural areas with so much less stress (not to mention I fucking love pushing these anemic Ford Transits to their limits. It's fun!).

I get along well enough with the dispatch team, and I know I'm going to eventually wind up there, but I just don't know if I want to do it yet.

Could we be so lucky?

https://news.yahoo.com/daylight-saving-time-permanently-staying-203236074.html

Look, given where I live, I could give a rats ass which we keep (DST or ST), just do away with one of them.  I can see how some wouldn't want DST though.  I remember when I asked a colleague of mine in AZ why they don't switch the clocks, the response was "who the hell wants another hour of daylight in the desert!?!?"   :lol

My question is, for the places that don't recognize DST today, are they going to shift their timezone?  Like, AZ is currently MST.  So, without DST, do they switch to become PST?
