I got 3 of the 66 when the time cap hit. Definitely could've pushed harder at certain points, but still happy with my score.

My gym does an internal challenge to see which class (based on start time) is best. I'm on the 5 am one and we finished last the last two years. In our defense, we probably have the highest average age out of all the classes.

He is wrong about China controls glyphosate, they only provide about 30% globally. Bayer (Monsanto) provides 40% globally which, unless things have changed, most comes from Luling, LA.

Devastated seems a little overboard for an 86 yr old dieing. I could understand sad.

re: Are wages increasing? Not at my company.

Posted by LSUSUPERSTAR on 2/27/26 at 9:38 am to CharlieTiger

I work for a large company in Healthcare. We make pharma, OTC, and equipment. Just sucks that wages haven't kept up and don't seem like they will with inflation. To make matters worse, my wife's clinic (veterinarian owner) is struggling with the rest of that industry. We are just getting squeezed all around. Hopefully tax season starts with things turning around overall. I was hopeful at the end of 2025, going into 2026, but now doubting things will improve much this year.

Are wages increasing? Not at my company.

Posted by LSUSUPERSTAR on 2/27/26 at 4:46 am

On top of packages/layoffs (about 500 people globally), it was announced this week our bonus would only be 80% instead of the full amount. Also my merit increase was only 2.5% compared to 3.7% from last year. I've read that companies are moving to peanut butter raises, everyone gets the same percent spread evenly regardless of performance. Just very disheartening. I feel poorer in 2026 than 2020. I hope everyone else is doing better.

He should do 10 yrs in prison, then 10 yrs as that family's slave. Yep, I said it.

Between fraud, waste, and borrowing money, there should be no personal income tax.

What took you so long? This has been known since the later part of 2020. The question we will never get answered is, was it a leak or intentional? I lean towards intentional now.

Spoke to some Ruger sales guys at a show a couple years ago, they had just put out one of the Marlin models since they acquired them. They didn't seem to think production would happen on the model 60 anytime soon if ever. I have a 10/22 and would like a model 60 just for fun.

If you are too stupid to figure out how to get your birth certificate or find help to do that, then you shouldn't be able to vote. Why do you want more uninformed people voting? We need less but better quality people voting so they understand the ramifications of what they vote for each time.
