Focusing on your GIS skills is the best way to start, for sure. Do you have a degree or a certificate in it? Either is definitely helpful. Taking a refresher class might be helpful to get fluent again (I think being in a class is more motivating than doing it alone, but that's just me), and it could help you build a…

Not sure that Virginia is the right place to be doing media test drives of anything above sub-compacts.

Wow, that sucks. I was cited for reckless in Virginia for doing 90 in a 70. Forget which county. I got maybe a dozen letters from lawyers in the area looking to take my case. I hired one for about 200 bucks, and the next time I heard back from them, the case had been settled as a non-moving violation. It seems like…

Other Class One misdemeanors in Virginia include animal cruelty, sexual battery, and aiming a firearm at someone. This is how the state regards people who drive over 80 mph.

Slow comment day, huh?

Slow life day, huh?

This is just weird because I thought this was a reference taken from the super viral and creepy-as-hell ghost story about Nathan and Emily. http://altereddimensions.net/2014/facebook-…

Slow news day, huh?

What's in this for you, Doug? some kind of unique satisfaction gleaned from antagonizing people who care about something important? Admittedly I read to the end of your comment and I took it the same way many others seem to because I didn't get your joke for a couple of reasons, one being that I'm not in the…

Well, this whole back and forth stoning is only amusing up to a point. I didn't find your tired joke amusing. And i'm sure many of us who don't watch sports or are even remotely interested in a idiotic game like baseball even give a damn about the Rangers or the slobs who call themselves sportsmen who play it. It's…

If restaurants can fire servers for mocking customers on Facebook, the MLB can certainly fire a known rapist. He's making their business look bad.

Here is some remedial reading for you and everyone who likes your humor, since you have NO IDEA whatever could be problematic with your comment equating a violent anal rape to "a mistake to grow from":

Some mistakes deserve bigger consequences than other. Rape is not equal to yelling profanities at someone or stealing a wallet. Getting out of jail is his redemption. Any public shaming after that is the continuation of consequence for doing something as dark and heinous has rape. Should a serial killer who happened…

The details of how he was able to plea deal down to a lesser charge is not apparent but

It should go without saying that if someone is too intoxicated to remember an event, they're also too intoxicated to consent.

His semen was found on an anal swab, after he said he'd never touched her. Yes, that's rape and sodomy.

"DNA found in her hair, on her tank-top, and on an anal swab matched that of Lueke's, despite the fact that he'd said there was no physical contact between him and the victim. After his arrest, he changed his story, telling police they'd had consensual sex."

Redemption doesn't mean pretending it didn't happen. Redemption is the fact that he's no longer in jail and is playing Major League Baseball. Redemption doesn't mean that people don't have the right to talk about it, and it certainly doesn't mean that somebody has the right to dictate whether other people talk about…

I just registered to say: game over the Dremel is by far the best :p

Dollar for pound, nothing beats the Dremel when it comes to portability. With a wide variety of attachments and handy travel case that comes with most Dremel tools, it's perfect for small projects on the go.
