If you're going to go as far as retirement, then you have to go all the way and start building tons of retirement towers to put those retirees.
What's wrong with that? I don't see the negative there.
That is, in fact, what is happening here in Canada. Boomer generation is getting close and with foresight retirement homes and long term care homes are popping up in droves.
Seems a tab too early for that. First boomers are just seventy this year!

What age do people typically start going into homes? 75? 80?
-
Only had one great uncle that went into one, probably when he was 85, would be my guess.

Lots of these are for disabilities, not all for elderly. They are also being used as social housing in the short term to take care of our huge problem with homelessness. I'm hoping with the new liberal government that we see more safe injection sites soon too.

Amazing what gets accomplished when Quebec runs the show instead of Ontario

It's not always age. You also have to figure in dementia if the resident is unlucky enough to have that disease.

@BBigford said in Boss I want to go to MangoCon....:
Man, I would love to go to this. But I don't get PTO, let alone paid travel to super awesome conventions.
How many (unpaid) vacation days do you get a year? Don't many Americans get something like four?
Unpaid vacation days? Well I worked on Christmas. That probably answers your question about time off. I'm lucky if I get the weekend off without someone bugging me about stuff that can wait till Monday.

Kept forgetting.

Now that we have CloudFlare, having the local avatars is no big deal.

Weird.. I must have uploaded my avatar before I did gravatar...

Why is that face so HUGE? It's distracting.. and frankly - I really really don't like it.

I was wondering. I was going to take a screen shot and ask if we were seeing the same thing. I do feel that it is slightly too large, but only by a few pixels

Now it's normal. We were seeing different things. I'll check and see if I get the gigantic ones at home and take a screenshot.

This thread dovetails well into the recent discussion about home labs that morphed into a discussion about combining work and home lives together. If home life and work life were merged seamlessly, things like going to conventions would be far easier. As an example.
