[02:02] IsambardPrince Alaska could go either way for the Senate, but Mississippi is moving towards the Democrat. [02:02] IsambardPrince Last night they led by 20 votes in the entire state. Today they've ticked up from 95% to 96% of the vote counted and that lead is over 1,000 votes. [02:03] IsambardPrince It'll be a narrow margin, but it looks like Mississippi will flip. [02:03] IsambardPrince Heads are starting to roll in the Trump administration. [02:03] IsambardPrince They're all preparing to be hauled in front of Congress to explain themselves. [02:04] IsambardPrince But word is, Pete Hegseth will face an impeachment vote brought up by the Republicans as soon as next week (the House doesn't change until January). [02:04] IsambardPrince They've already started to coalesce around blaming his "handling" of the Iran War for the whole debacle. [02:04] IsambardPrince Even though that's not even close to being true. [02:04] IsambardPrince Vance threw Hegseth under the bus this morning, then Trump followed. [02:05] IsambardPrince So whether he resigns, or gets tossed out by Congress either next week or in January, Hegseth's days as Secretary of Defense are numbered.

[02:26] IsambardPrince First Democrat elected to a state office in 10 years. [02:28] IsambardPrince "For the Indiana Comptrollers race, Jessica Bailey, a Democrat, is projected to be leading with 49.73% of the vote and Elise Nieshalla, the incumbent Republican, is projected to have 47.36% of the vote. This is with 95% of the results being reported. On Wednesday, Nieshalla conceded the race to Bailey." [02:28] IsambardPrince It's a start. [02:31] IsambardPrince Most of the state offices that monitor, certify, and administer elections are flipping to Democrats. [02:32] IsambardPrince So in 2028 there's not going to be this "Find me some votes." stuff going on. [02:32] IsambardPrince You know, like Trump and Georgia. [02:44] IsambardPrince Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson, soon to be a backbencher in the smallest Republican minority since the 1980s, said he plans a comeback in 2028. [02:44] IsambardPrince Nobody in 2028 is going to want to elect Republicans that ruined the economy and give the House gavel back to a guy who compared gay people to "sex with a dog".

[02:50] TR News Yesterday's Tux Machines bulletin is now ready! : http://news.tuxmachines.org/txt-archives/tuxmachines-2026-11-04.txt [02:50] IsambardPrince A supermajority doesn't technically mean anything in Indiana state government though. [02:51] IsambardPrince It only takes a simple majority to overrule a veto by the state governor. [02:51] IsambardPrince And the governor is still a Republican. [02:51] IsambardPrince However if you look at the seats the Republicans lost most of them tried to do the mid-decade redistricting to steal more House seats. [02:52] IsambardPrince It failed, barely. ● Nov 05 [03:30] IsambardPrince Chick-Fil-A is like "Want more sauce? Buy an 8 oz squeeze bottle for $3." [03:30] IsambardPrince I'm like "Why would I do that? There's got to be at least 20 2 oz packets in your sauce return box over on the trash can." [03:30] IsambardPrince Now here's where the law comes in. If Chick Fil A actually complains that you're doing it, here's why it's not "theft". [03:30] IsambardPrince Under contract law, they sold those packets of sauce when they handed them to a customer that paid for them with their meal. [03:30] IsambardPrince That box is where the customer threw it, which constitutes "abandonment". [03:30] IsambardPrince When you reclaim the sauce, you are legally "salvaging" an abandoned good. [03:30] IsambardPrince 1. The Sale and Passing of Title (Uniform Commercial Code) [03:30] IsambardPrince When you purchase food at a restaurant, it falls under a sale of goods. Under Illinois law (810 ILCS 5/2-401), title to physical goods passes to the buyer once the seller physically delivers them. [03:30] IsambardPrince When a customer receives their order with sauce packets, those packets become their private chattel (tangible personal property). The restaurant received its consideration (your money), and ownership transferred completely. The store has zero legal title remaining. [03:30] IsambardPrince 2. Legal Abandonment vs. Lost Property [03:30] IsambardPrince In Illinois, for property to be legally abandoned, two conditions must be met: [03:30] IsambardPrince The original owner must relinquish possession voluntarily. [03:30] IsambardPrince The original owner must have the intent to disown it permanently with no expectation of reclaiming it. [03:30] IsambardPrince Dropping unopened packets into a public bin fits the exact definition of intent to relinquish rights. Under Illinois common law, once an item is genuinely abandoned, it belongs to no one until a finder takes physical possession with the intent to claim ownership. [03:30] IsambardPrince 3. The "Finder's Keepers" Rule (765 ILCS 1020 / Common Law) [03:30] IsambardPrince Illinois has statutory laws (765 ILCS 1020/ Estray Act) governing lost or mislaid propertywhich require finders to turn over items (like a misplaced wallet or phone) to local authorities or venue managers so the true owner can be located. [03:31] IsambardPrince However, abandoned property is explicitly exempt from the Estray Act. Because the original sauce buyer intentionally threw it into a public basin to get rid of it, it is neither "lost" nor "mislaid". [03:31] IsambardPrince Unless the store posts explicit notices asserting ownership over the bin area, when someone drops an unopened packet in the return tub, it becomes unowned, abandoned property. [03:31] IsambardPrince As long as you take physical possession of it in a publicly accessible lobby, Illinois law recognizes you as the rightful new owner. You successfully salvaged abandoned private property before the restaurant could re-assimilate it into their paid inventory! [03:31] IsambardPrince MinceR, ^ [03:38] IsambardPrince The Republicans now admit that the war is dragging on forever, draining the Treasury, and hasn't brought Iran any closer to defeat than it was before the war. [03:38] IsambardPrince Next week, the Republicans are introducing their own bill to blame Pete Hegseth for all of it and impeach him, and it's expected to pass, even before the new Congress convenes in January. [03:38] IsambardPrince The same Republicans that put Pete Hegseth there in the first place in a rubber stamp session, without asking if a Fox News Host should be the Secretary of Defense.

I went through this process last year. Top performer for years, but my number came up and they manufactured a "performance" reason. They're REALLY good at this and know how to avoid lawsuits. If you're put on a PIP, don't quit. Let them fire you. PIPs (in the USA at least at the time I was let go) come with 30 days severance and a set amount of subsidized COBRA depending on your years of service. 3 months COBR [17:10] schestowitz[TR2] A for under 5 years. 6 months for 5-25 years. After that time expires, health care under COBRA goes to full price. Dental and Vision under COBRA is not subsidized but are only slightly more expensive than what you paid out of your paycheck. When I say medical is "subsidized" I mean that you will pay out of pocket monthly (you will get an invoice) what you currently pay for medical from your paycheck (again this is in the US). You [17:10] schestowitz[TR2] also are eligible for unemployment since they "fired" you for "performance" - which we all know is BS but IBM doesnt care. None of this is stellar, but its better than if you quit. If you quit, you get none of that. So during your PIP - unless you really believe that IBM cares about your success (they dont), fake it while you concentrate on job hunting. Use that 60 or 90 day period as pay severance time to work on leaving IBM. Hav [17:10] schestowitz[TR2] e ChatGPT, Claude, or some other non-IBM AI help you with any daily/weekly updates you need to provide. Dont spend energy on it yourself if you can help it. Do what IBM does to you - pretend as if you care. Because bottom line - IBM will fire you the same day they inform you that your performance is suffering if they feel they can come up with a good backstory and justify it without being sued. If they dont fire you same day, they [17:10] schestowitz[TR2] will more likely fire you at the end of your PIP - especially this year since your esteemed CEO stepped in his own dogsht that spewed from his mouth and exposed IBM for the fraud that it is. On your liberation day, they will force your first line manager to do their dirty work. Don't blame your FLM - they are doing this under threat of their own job. This is the sad reality of the company your work for. When it happened to me, I [17:10] schestowitz[TR2] was shocked and upset. I struggled for several months, but Im in a better position now. I took a job with slightly less pay, but all that stress and anxiety I used to get from Sunday afternoon to 3pm Friday is gone. In fact, the first week after I was let go - when I had no job and wasn't sure yet how I was going to survive, I STILL felt like the weight of the world was just removed from my shoulders. IBM executives are toxic, ter [17:10] schestowitz[TR2] rible human beings...ALL of them. They care about one thing - their own paychecks. They do not at all care about you. You are a number on a spreadsheet and a "necessary inconvenience" to them. If you're PIP'ed and fired from that cesspool, it may not seem it at the time and you may struggle financially for awhile, but it will be one of the best things that ever happen to you and your career.
