Just saw this on SW, love it...
ChrisB1220:
I just had a deal with a local pizza chain. They have been burned by the company that did the WiFi install as it has not worked at one location for the 7 months they have been open. They have hired my buddy as the GM and he is the one that reached out for my help. When I told him it was going to be $125 and hour, billed in 15 minute intervals. When he scoffed at the rate, I told him I would fix the entire thing for $100 and a large Chicago pie and a pint of Stella. This, he agreed to. 20 minutes later his WiFi was working and I was enjoying my beer. I now have a service contract for $125 an hour.

LOL - so in the end, the GM ended up over paying..

Extreme weather changes appear to be becoming the new norm.

Norway it does
Most of Europe is insanely moderate. Europeans complain about the weather but most have no idea what harsh weather is like. The eastern half of the US has the most brutal weather in the world. NY gets like 20 degrees hotter than the hottest city in Europe. The US goes through hotter highs and colder lows every year that most Europeans ever see of either. -
