[00:39]	IsambardPrince	The gas company emailed me saying don't DIY when it involves a gas line.
[00:39]	IsambardPrince	I should email them back and say "Don't worry."
[00:41]	IsambardPrince	I remember my windows shaking one morning and it turned out that the Comcast guy blew up someone's house down the street. He struck a gas line and got the hell out of there and the people in the house blew up with the house.
[00:41]	x-amarsh04	RIP
[00:42]	IsambardPrince	It gets better.
[00:42]	IsambardPrince	My mom was driving down the street on her way to work, saw the house blow up, and had pieces of it land on her car.
[00:43]	IsambardPrince	She had to call in because the police said she was a witness and needed a statement.
[00:44]	MinceR	lol
[00:44]	MinceR	pity the comcast guy didn't get killed by the explosion
[00:44]	IsambardPrince	Yeah, he was more interested in running away than alerting anyone.
[00:45]	IsambardPrince	It didn't just blow up, it had more than 10 minutes between him striking it and running away, and the explosion.

[02:06]	IsambardPrince	Walmart keeps trying to make my applications expire.
[02:07]	IsambardPrince	I've decided to just keep hitting "renew application" every so many days.
[02:07]	IsambardPrince	That way it's technically still in the system.
[02:07]	IsambardPrince	With Trump ending TPS for people from seven countries, I suspect Walmart will be hiring soon.
[02:07]	IsambardPrince	It's about to be illegal to hire 200,000 people, mostly from Haiti and Somalia, who are just grateful to have anything at all.
[02:08]	IsambardPrince	Some of them have their EAD expire tomorrow, but the other 90% have to be fired by the 27th.
[02:08]	IsambardPrince	I think we might be into "Well look who came crawling back." territory here soon.
[02:08]	IsambardPrince	With Walmart, that is.

[02:11]	IsambardPrince	The Intent of Congress was Temporary, until it is safe to go back to your own country.
[02:11]	IsambardPrince	There are still people here from an Earthquake in Honduras in 1998.
[02:12]	IsambardPrince	Congress did not mean for TPS to go on for almost 20 years due to an earthquake in the 90s.

If AK and his cronies in the C-Suite forgo their bonuses for the rest of their undoubtedly extremely short tenures and take a significant pay cut, then that'll show accountability.
