They will learn to respect our angry overlords and fear them as we do. #thisIsTheWay

Worked for BCRail.

And BCFerries

And it's doing well for TransLink.

Oh wait. It sucked in all/every case.

... and looked for the 3 words that went into that word.

I corrected gMaps about 20-30 times over the last few years since we moved into a new building (first renters -- whee!). I actually had work peers submitting corrections too.

Finally, out of the blue, it was fixed, and now I check weekly for it to revert. Now, fucking UPS losers who can't read huge numbers on the side of the road can find me again ... and drop my package out on the street in front of the building for the free-rangers to steal. You're gonna love how my new presbyopic, astigmatic, myopic eyeglasses feel on your face, you dick.

I'll try a correction to OSM next time. That's GENIUS.

The town and hospital where I was born has a name I cannot pronounce and uses letters I can't currently replicate.

I got lost driving in the town where the school was from which I graduated - and thus first learned to drive - since trashy bungalow sprawl has created new roads and subdivisions that all look alike. Thank fuck for gMaps, but fuck you to the pride that had me navigating by memory.

I'm okay getting lost where I am, now, as the place I'd go back to no longer exists and I'd probably get lost there too.

You can. I

1. opened gMaps
2. grabbed my lat/long
3. corrected the nearby URL because in #Canada it's always wrong when on desktop
4. found the building I was in is apparently 1.3 km away, which will affect my walk to the loo

But the facility being wrong is secondary; it's possible.

Outside of America, cops need a union because, when they don't, we end up with a national police force that has the distinction of being the best-trained on the continent AND the lowest-paid at the same time; and without post-traumatic care or an organized legal fund against what is a remarkable stream of false-arrest complaints (which must of course be heard but so many are junk). Without even the shitty union they have to give them nearly nothing, these underpaid mental cases will leave the force either in a straightjacket, in a body bag or in handcuffs.

Let's agree that this isn't ideal.

In short, like every job, the employer is kinda treating you like shit unless you can bargain collectively. Let's do ambulance attendants next.

everyone

Nope.

went back

Nope.

Take up non-feature security-only maintenance.

This isn't hard. SCO and Sun did exactly this.

It seems to me that the service provider wants that "please don't leave. We'll not be a total dick for like 3 months; will that help?" opportunity.

Prince in his post said Pietsch’s dismissal wasn’t “anywhere close to perfect,” and that the company will learn from its missteps.

Will they, though?

You could have saved so much typing by ranting about red pills and blue pills.

Having VP Harris safely in the shadows like Mr Cheney was hasn't been good for her exposure and for building cred. But they needed to do that to appease the racist rednecks ... who weren't going to vote for her anyway.

they can loose in 2028

What are they releasing?

I work with a product enjoying a 27 year support window.

That's WAY more than 2 days.

Solo is missing, and that's too bad.

1. learn punctuation.

And I'd readily watch that all day.
