St. George is amazing. We absolutely love it here.  Gorgeous, safe and this city understands growth….. unlike Vegas, which is a mess, has shootings everywhere and seems to be the current landing spot for 50% of the California transplants.  
 

I am missing th food options in Vegas, but it’s only a 2 hour drive, so I head back to my bills bar for every bills game

Agreed on this... I still live in Vegas, but we head to Utah all the time to get away

You should hit up Moondoggies sometime next year.  Beers on me!

I heard they shut down during the pandemic. I go to the Standard now. If moondoggies is back up and running, you got yourself a deal! PBR on tap!

Having worked for Verizon and seen some of the business documents (when they could not support one customer with contracted support they changed the definition of the words in contract) I think this is more appropriate for Verizon:

Yeah it’s been back in action for awhile.  Naked City Pizza (the kitchen inside the bar) moved to the Office bar over by UNLV but they kept a similar menu and the food is good.  Wings and pizza are on point.  Pbr on tap too!  🍻

As a software engineer I am cracking up at this and wondering how many people got fired for improperly testing code they pushed to production 😂😂

 

Probably marketing pushing for release not allowing time for testing.  

 

I had a marketing director (salesman, he one only one in marketing) move the release of X-Master, an X Windows benchmarking tool, to end of August because customer requirement so my team needed to work extra hours.  I had conversation with customer and he told me the hardware would not be received until October and he did not want software early.  I found out that it was a way for him to get a bonus and surprised him in meeting when he told company president that software would be done by end of August telling him customer told me he did not want software yet.  The president then knew he was moving dates to make more money.

there were 2 X-Flares on our Sun over the last 24 hours.... That might have something to do with it

For those who have never heard about it look into the  Carrington Event. Massive solar storm that took out telegraphs and had an Aurora that was visible in the tropics.

Now imagine what that would do to our Society today when that happens again

Depends on how long the electrical outages lasted. But I don't think there would be total outages everywhere. It probably wouldn't be that bad.
