I got laid off the day Hurricane Harvey hit Houston. Not as bad as a peer who was called in on an ‘emergency’ due to the Hurricane. The emergency was being laid off.

If it wasn’t the timing, I thought it would be my ex wife. She set fire to just about everything at one time or another, including a stove, two driers, a fire place (and wall and floor...), a space heater, and to take the cake, a water facet. She hated Brazil nuts and evidently garbage disposals...

As a person hit by Tahoes at four different times, I found this laughable. Get above the hood or deflect off (one time was a woman suddenly reversing to try to grab a spot - another was one suddenly backing up out of a parking spot). Go to the hospital. Try not to kill the person who is yelling at you for “hitting…

Houston, hell selling the thing probably solve the national debt.

Great article. Having worked with the safety department on training safe behaviors, I can see it. Take a craft professional with 10 years with no incident. They are always aware and take a step back when they do the job. Then they find out that their wife is pregnant... with another person’s child... and is leaving…

As someone who provided system support to badge systems at hospitals (or prisons, they tend to use the same systems), I don’t think that we need that much in the way of security with locks within our homes. We never had someone try to circumvent a lock with a pick or hacking. It was wrecking bars, sledgehammers, and…

I’m famous for these. I am tall, very gregarious, and known as a good conversationalist. However, I hate exiting because I am bad at avoiding the one more question thing. Thusly, I will tell one person I am dipping and then it is like, ‘Where the hell did Masa go?’

Look at the Reconstruction Era... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reconstruction_Era

Ok, this is going to piss some people off. Meh, deal.

Yeah, my friends know better than to drop horrible content on my phone. That is what reddit is for.

It’s default setting is Contacts only. http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-33889225

Depends where, but yes in general. Of course, my daughter was in the pool in april down in Houston, going ‘the water is fine... I don’t care if my lips are blue’.

Here is the secret. Kids will go until they get attention, in positive or negative ways. They do it because it had some positive aspect in the past. Set a boundary and reinforce.

Holy shit, someone actually didn’t at least have it set to contacts only? How long have we harped on security folks?!?

I am so jealous. I ended up getting a 250 ft restraining order against my ex due to shenanigans done by her and her bf. Had to sue again to make the local Sherriff enforce it because ‘women do not commit domestic violence’. The judge said he hoped the Sherriff’s wife beat his ass. The same judge suggested I got a…

Hi, you are a moron. Please do not play in traffic. Thank you.

Too slow. Cutting the belt is faster.

Yeah. Check for distress and call 911. If you have to do an extraction, you will want the ambulance/fire department rolling. I have used this before: https://www.amazon.com/Leatherman-Z-Rex-Multi-Tool-Black-Sheath/dp/B008069ZB6

They might say they don’t settle. They do. 90% of all medical malpractice suits are settled out of court. Usually, it is cheaper. http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/811323_3

Actually, look at the behavior. If the doctor is sued and didn’t settle, then the insurance carrier medical review showed no reasonable error. Clinical quality is not the determinate, it is bed side manner and if they had been sued before.
