My office is looking at getting everyone back in at some point, just for ... team unity or some shit. We're moving in December to a smaller office (two people are 100% remote, any other requests will be taken on a case by case basis before the actual move). I was talking to our #2 person who was in yesterday and suggested that we have people work two or three days remote/in office (i.e., half works Monday-Wednesday-Friday one week, Tuesday-Thursday the next, with the other half reversing that), which she seemed to find interesting. We've had technical issues - a bunch of computers that people were using to work from home broke down. Several were overheating - my boss had to disconnect his and put it out on his balcony before it overheated and caught fire and one person had the battery in hers literally explode. Other problems were, I think, less dramatic, but the problems seem to have been with the batteries.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Raise your hand if you were disappointed cheetah isn't on this list:
These people don't seem to understand that most of the chimpanzees they've seen on TV are babies and a full adult Chimp is strong enough to pull your arm completely off.
People are WAY too confident about beating a goose unarmed. Those fuckers are MEAN.
Well, they did rate geese more vicious than eagles.
Notice they didn't include SWANS. Vicious and strong.
Ethan got some 90210 swag today (because Paramount+, I think?) and Dylan saw it and asked, "What's ninety-two-ten?" and anyway I am now dead of old age.
Ouch
"What's ninety-two-ten?"
That makes my heart hurt.
Back to the which-animal-could-you-beat-in-a-fight poll, I'm most fascinated by the gender-flipped responses to Lion, which is apparently the only animal more intimidating to men than women!
The older sister of o e of my highschool friends didn’t know what The Peach Pit was, just recently when I referenced it. So 90210 too young for old olds and too old for younguns.
Yeah, I didn't watch 90210. But it's in the cultural gestalt enough that I recognize it.
Why do 6% of Americans think they can beat a grizzly in a fight? Are these the same people who think they can fight the US military with a handgun?

Seriously, though.

We think they are cats?

Yes.
