Had my last day as a yard jockey/traffic officer/route planner/yard tractor manager/gate guard/surveillance tech, on tuesday I'm starting the lorry driver training on full-time, while working. My replacement (Whom I trained to be a yard jockey less than a year ago) felt it hit home and actually started to get real nervous when I gave her my private number so she can reach me if she needs any help, she's now the senior at that place. And I just now realized that all the current jockeys are kids I actually taught. That's... a very weird though immensly satisfying feeling. At the same time I'm really quite sad, I kind of realize how much I'll miss 'em, same with the one really excellent boss I have. My new bosses are going to be the ones I've written lengthy letters to complaining about all the **** they do wrong/don't do at all - that'll be fun. As an added thing, we've got three birthdays this weekend in that group, so I bought some ice cream cake that we ate, and even with the birthdays, me and one other older jockey that is leaving at the same time, drops the average age by quite a bit. Atleast we were over 30 before, now we've got two people barely over 40, and the rest are 27 and down.

I get some really lovely Rhapsody vibes from these guys, I love it!

Way ahead of his time 😄

1000 yards? Fancypants! Creedmoor when you can get yourself some 6.5 Swede! 😛

I'd rather take my chances with Corona, I honestly think the odds off survival are better 😛

I love that Tie Fighter! 😄 Some amazing details on those minis overall!

Haha, no, now you've got my attention 😄 Oh, yeah, or even suggesting it! Not really, though from what I've read the massive hormone treatments and similar renders you a muscle monster to the point where the only difference between a female and male base subject would be that one would have male genitalia and one would have female genitalia.

Haha! I can imagine, nerds are very sensitive about some thing, I would know considering how I think about modern Fallouts 😄 I wanted to do a similar thing and do an Adepta Sororitas Kitty chapter. 😛

It's not necessarily any "evil commies" that are going to use it, but the future Hitlers that are going to use it to stop dissent.

It's news to me aswell, so thank you for that GD, and it's a nightmare read aswell, but I am not surprised one bit. And just as you say, many countries are going to rely on Huawei for their 5G networks, so they'll already have a foot in the door. Add in that we do have several authoritarian leaning parties here, and I don't doubt that the economic troubles that comes following the current pandemic could get them even bigger poll numbers, they'd have alot to gain in having a system like this available to them.

Jimi Hendrix, Alice Cooper, Ronnie James Dio... Fallout... Wing Commander... Philip K **** I think? Mike Pondsmith.. Cord, DeSoto and Nash Motors.. yeah, I think I'm out.

Me too! I've never dared look... I figured as much, but I considered myself funny ^^

Sweden. The ass-end of nowhere, on the right hand side. 😄

That's a pretty ****ty deal really, I mean the uncertainty in that is a low blow. Admittedly I'm not sure how well Swedens help package will work out but from what they've said it does sound like it'll help. Many hotels has been renting out rooms at a reduced rate to people that want to isolate themselves, and some has offered bed to the healthcare system.

A month or onetime payment? How long'll that last you?

So will you recieve any aid from your government?

I'm not as considerate as you admittedly, I'm sticking firm with my lube/hand sanitizer prank, because we don't work with people here, so the impact will be negligable since hand sanitizer doesn't work on grease anyway. Despite people trying it xD

Long time no see Calax, welcome back

Riiight.. We do have the same science as everyone else, it's just that Sweden hasn't closed down everything because the public health agency said that it was no point, they did say the same in Denmark for instance but for political motivations they closed down anyway. If anything, the Swedish public health agency might have to much power in making decisions accoring to some people. Very much this, our system is based on educating people and volountary actions, but for instance; the reason we went from allowing groups of 500 to groups of 50, was because some places skirted the law by only inviting 499 people. When this was found out politicians and public health officials went "Well, **** you then, no more than 50 people". If other recommendations aren't being followed they will start implementing more stringent actions.

I don't know what I hope for to be honest...

We're stable as of this moment, but we don't really know how many infected we have generally speaking either, since we don't have any widespread testing at all.

Haha! Why not throw in lemonparty in that? 😛 Nah, I'd have to physically restrain him for that, we can't trick him with those! He's a muslim, and he hates gay and trans people, so when he expressed interest in a transgendered girl on a tv-show we were half-watching while working we decided amongst ourselves to "corrupt" him.

I think I remember reading that the EU is looking into tracking people via cellphones to "help understand" how the virus spreads.

Regular customers go there and pay double to help pay for ER peoples meals.
