Spent 30 minutes on hold for my lunch and never spoke to anyone, but at least we have the best medical system in the world... right?

Pulling globs of tire sealant out my leg hair isn't a sentence I'd ever thought I'd have to write, but here I am.

Imagine having the vocals of Tim McIlrath, and then letting some audio engineer(s) mix the ever loving shit out of it. You can't tell me its because he still doesn't have the range when Gold Long Gone is present with his voice finally being clear as day.

Imagine being part of a floundering political establishment at historic lows in favorability, seeing this guy's absolutely infectuous energy, and deciding to try to stop it through an array of embarrassing media appearances and editorial blunders.

Bill Muckaltโ€™s Contract: Breaking Down Theย Details Yesterday, we learned the shocking news that Joe Shawhan is out as head coach of the Huskies after eight seasons. In the same release we learned that Michigan Tech had replaced Coach Shawhan with former assistant Bill Muckalt. This morning, Michigan Tech was kind enough to provide us with the new contract with Muckalt. We'll start with the Salary. Muckalt is the highest paid coach the Huskies have ever had, starting at $315,000 this year and growing $5k per year until it reaches $335k for the 2029-30 season.

Michigan Tech Parts Ways With Joe Shawhan, Hires Billย Muckalt The Michigan Tech athletic department pulled off something of a miracle Thursday morning: they made a drastic personnel announcement without a single member of our notoriously nosy staff hearing a peep about it. After eight seasons at the helm of Huskies hockey, Michigan Tech has parted ways with head coach Joe Shawhan. He leaves Michigan Tech as the institution's second-winningest coach of all time (154-120-29), behind only the immortal John MacInnes (555โ€“295โ€“39).

CCHA Quarter Final Series Preview: Michigan Tech @ Bowlingย Green Our Huskies (16-15-3) enter the CCHA post season on the road after blowing both games against the Tommies (16-13-5). Tech will be in Bowling Green for a CCHA Quarter Final rematch from last year. The Falcons (16-13-4) clinched the 4th seed by splitting with the Lakers (12-20-2) in their final series of the regular season. Analysis The Falcons have been in a similar slump as our Huskies going 1-4-0 in their last five games.

The last Tech player to have a hat trick via a goal on the PP, PK, and Even Strength was Pete Rouleau 2-15-2008 against
UMD. However, that was not a Natural Hat Trick

I lost my job. USDA Forest Service.


My probation was up next week.


I did everything right. I took a GS-7 role with a masterโ€™s degree just to get my foot in the door. I spent years doing seasonal fieldwork for low pay, working in remote places, gaining experience, and building skills, just for a chance at a permanent position. I was about to be a GS-9. I wrote NEPA reports. I conducted field surveys. I worked fire support. I dedicated myself to this work because I believed in it.


Public lands donโ€™t manage themselves. The wildlife, watersheds, and forests we protect donโ€™t just stay protected without people on the ground making it happen. My coworkers and I took on that responsibility, often in places most people never think about but that matter more than they know.


And now? Just like that, Iโ€™m out.


Edit: Iโ€™ve consistently supported progressive policies and have voted Democrat in every national and local election since I was 18. I do appreciate folks asking, I have some coworker having a serious 'leopards ate my face' moment right now.

This comment on r/fednews really stood out to me. Trump and Musk want people to think they're firing do-nothing "bureaucrats," but they're really getting rid of people dedicated to serving this country and keeping it operational. I hope these stories get told.

I am 100% pro metric system, measure to the thousandth of an inch is just dumb. However, where Europe and other parts of the world get wrong is using a comma instead of a period to distinguish a decimal point.

1,02 is dumb, it should be 1.02

I will die on this hill lol.
