You must be a sys admin. I used to be and that was my first instinct.

I would assume that the texture of the onion is part of the appeal. So if you grill it you’ve got to either toast the bread or add a few chips to get that crunch.

I mean, yeah.
However, in this particular case I think the CEO was running this as a pump and dump for nearly a decade, claiming to be fully funded and having no board (because he claimed it was self funded), and giving himself massive raises year over year.
So a private equity firm bought something hollow. I have some guesses about it. Probably a friend of his, probably got it cheap, and is about to gut whatever is left now that the guy who did own it got out with what he could. Why would PE buy it otherwise? There’s no goodwill or name to cash in on like what’s being done with Native Instruments.

A lot of people have a terrible relationship with at least one person. An ex, a parent, a grandparent, an old friend who stole all your alcohol and refused to give it back or pay for it even though he knew you needed it for a get together you were having so you had to go buy all new alcohol on short notice which means you had to leave your brisket smoking unattended so you could drive to the next county and ended up with a brisket that was overdone, whatever. I don’t think it’s “wife bad” so much as it is “everyone knows a shitbag”.

You’re probably right. I just prefer to err on the side of over explaining that I never have a problem with what any adult is doing with any other consenting adult.

Yep. I had a friend who, when she would get the “up” she’d engage in very risky sex with whoever was around. Then when she’d come down she’d hate herself for it and have to deal with the fallout.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m sex positive. Do what you want with who you want. I just see how much it hurt her to constantly be getting std tests and spending all that money on plan b and fucking up her cycle.

First, thank you for pointing this out. I had to go and fill my brain hole with a bunch of information about this absolutely fascinating discovery. I really thought you were discussing some science fiction concept initially.
Second, what in the actual fuck did I just read?!?

That’s painfully accurate in some places down here. And if you’re ever through that way again there’s some decent fishing in Lake Texana. Got a whole mess of catfish out there a couple of weeks back.

They don’t do that to me because I’m a contractor who they me more than I need them. However…
I’ve seen this exact thing play out several different ways. My favorite recurring one: “Why didn’t you respond on slack/why were you offline?” (Always over some bullshit that could wait or that someone else could have handled).
“I worked the maintenance window last night because you said this non production change couldn’t be done during the day”
“Well you should still be monitoring in case there’s an emergency!”

This is the answer. And the C levels renting from these spaces are absolutely invested in the companies that lease the space.
I’ve seen it even more incestuous as well. CEO buys building for kids and lets other C levels get in on it. The company rents a space. Everyone at C level agrees it’s the best space because they can get a sweetheart deal on rent for the company. Company pays for space, money flows back to C Suite and CEO doesn’t have to pay for kids’ lifestyles anymore.
There’s a very nice office building like that down from me, except it’s CEOs cousin or nephew or something. It came out when they started pushing for RTO as soon as they could.
Must be nice getting C level salary, a little extra in your bonus for getting a sweetheart rental deal, and passive income from being a partial owner of the building your company rents from.
