He’s a shmoodle gerg and I’ll post photos shortly, but unfortunately I can’t tell you what’s going on with Boney jr.

Might have to ask Boney.
I picked you more for a 'real dog' sort of guy. Wife picked it, didn't she?

J/k .. I'd love one of those poodle x, but the price scared me off. Closest breeder to me was selling cavoodles for 8k.

Here’s the photo I CAN show, which is on Day 3 of Magic Round (can’t show the immediate aftermath, it’s too gruesome)

Nice pup mate. You say he/she was a surprise visitor at your place of work today.

Did you leave a pair old jocks laying around the house and he/she found you by smell ?

Son, we live in a world that has forums, and those forums have to be guarded by Mods. Who's gonna do it? You? You, Nickman? I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. You weep for Lucy, and you curse GE. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know -- that GE’s moderation, while tragic, probably saved lives; and my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, keeps threads on track and under the appropriately sized, highlighted green headings.
You want moderation because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me on that forum -- you need me on that forum. We use words like "stay on topic," "use the appropriate forum," "please delete." We use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending something. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very moderation that I provide and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather that you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise, I suggest you get a green handle and edit a post. Either way, I don't give a DAMN what you think about moderation.

Has anyone else had this problem? I’ve recently had my hot water system replaced. Under the new code, the hot water setting is set to a temperature that avoids scalding. The only problem is, I have to have the shower on almost full “hot” to get a hot shower. And the water pressure is low. Plus to get hot water in the kitchen and laundry... it is cooler than I’d like. Any solutions?

I think Nickman’s right. When we moved into our house, we said the same thing to the builder and they had a plumber come and fix it.

Also, does anyone have experience with MS Teams? We've recently converted to it. My leader doesn't like that we use the "Teams" channel, as well as the "Chat" function, and has asked if there's a way I can link them. His dream state is to have a Chat tab in Teams... Anyone know if this is doable?

Im trying to suggest we just use the Teams as our Chat, but I thought I'd see if there's any experts out there

Yeah, we use Teams all the time but we don't use the chat function that much... it does seem like any other group chatting service though, so why not just use it?

I don't understand your leader's opposition to it.
