There is absolutely some goodness here. Bottom line, whether it’s for a new job or closing a client, preparation is key. In my industry, candidates for positions are generally fairly closely matched on paper, and they have to have education/training and certs, and years of experience before they even talk to me. So…

you’re goddamned right. it’s right there on the charmin package. you never see a package of TP with the roll coming out of the bottom.

This is a good rule - in our house it’s the who’s ever outnumbered rule. now, it’s me, my wife and our daughter - so, I’m outnumbered, seat goes down. I also have a son on the way in 30 days. Equilibrium obtained again and anarchy prevails...as it should.

I’m still interested to know how the math is done on this, as I truly don’t know. For example, my wife and I entered the job market at roughly the same time (within 6 months of each other). In the past 14 years, She’s left the market twice, once for a kid and once to start a business outside of her career field, and…

Yeah, I think “workbench” is an inappropriate term for what he built - this, like the clamps, chisels and saws that will be used on it is just as much a tool as anything else.

totally agree - I have IKEA furniture in my house that we’ve had for 10 years or more that has moved overseas and back, and across country and back.

Very much this. though when I was a kid my dad was working out of state so it was:

Love to see this Connie moving! Thanks for writing about this Tyler - There are some really cool things going on in warbird resto right now. I’m watching the resto of DOC down in Wichita - right across the street from the plant where he was built in the first place, using some of the same tooling. I think they’ve done…

and he WONT learn that in an MLB lockerroom? :)

I absolutely would buy one of these if I had the scratch. Is it worth the 8k price tag? Probably - these watches are built to last. I have a manual wind Breitling Premier from 1944 that is undergoing it’s first ever overhaul (at least according to the records—I’m only the 3rd owner). Until I sent it off, it was my…

Companies are moving to that - after Safeway had a breach, I started noticing that they put a sticker right along the seam. If that’s loose or gone, I don’t use it.

Krebs on security had a post on these at Safeway stores, now everytime I go in there, I make sure the machine is sealed and has a sticker on the seam before swiping.

While it may have been the TaxSlayer breach, it may also have been the actual IRS breach where your information was pulled from. Particularly if you used a PIN under EZFile. Latest estimates of compromised accounts is in upwards of 750K accounts breached.

I’m just glad they waited until after 5 yesterday to hold that press conference...you know, 15 minutes after my laptop and work gear were firmly in my rear view mirror. Thankfully I’m not a metro rider and get in early enough for traffic to not be an issue, but damned if it wasn’t screwy this morning.

including this one...though the rate is somewhere closer to 99.6%

that’s easy - cc their superiors on your “after-5" tasks. Make it known who you work for and work your boss’ problems enough so that people ask why your boss isn’t doing it. you don’t have to answer — the answer to that question will be obvious. walk quickly, and carry a blue folder. :)

you’ve gotta communicate up and down. I was the XO to a high-speed O6, we had a ton to do and he worked a crapload of long hours. he set the expectation that he knew he was a long-hours/high intensity guy, but that he in no way wanted us to burn the midnight oil with him. I got the message, my nights and weekends were…

such a cool story/memory...shitty ending. sorry about that.

Interesting project, but there’s a really cool version similar to this that’s on the market — check out Mycroft AI.

Runway 071/251 at Little Rock Air Force base (the training base for Herc) is lovingly called the Assault Strip - it’s that wee little thing on the right there:
