This is an old and obtuse complaint. H1B has been going on since 1952, yet the US tech industry has managed quite well for itself since then. If we’re going to complain about H1B visas “taking” away spots for US engineers, you really have to look at how the US industry and US government got us there and look at how US …

Money laundering.

You mean the Ferengi.....

Ahh, most annoying mistake made. Installing memory into an HP G5 server and seeing the pins break when flipping the memory vertical. Even though the memory slots were lined up correctly, the chip was at a slight angle at one end so flipping up the memory broke the pins at just the wrong spot. Fortunately, HP sent me…

Ha, I did that with an old Cyrix M2 when I rebuilt the machine with just overhead fluorescent lighting and ‘baka-yoka’ed the processor in what I thought was the correct orientation. Much smellier in a just a few seconds, the PC had to inherit instead a much more expensive Intel cpu. Lesson learned; fiddle with stuff in…

A most amusing reply. You state that you pay for others’ health insurance, by inference, that means that others pay for yours. Standard medical practice has been to vaccinate in order to reduce the prevalence of disease and is included typically as part of the insurance process.

The Japanese 7/11s are far superior than the US 7/11s. They’re really quite nice as convenience stores and offer food better than you might expect. On par with Lawsons or Family Mart, one big advantage Japan has is that they just don’t have the typical US customer who’s just a couple of steps away from vagrancy or…

They don’t need to be charged with assault. However, they do need to be charged with paying for everyone else’ insurance coverage for things like vaccinations, doctors visits, hospitalization and such. Only fair really, considering what goes on with disease.

I find it to be a marvelous companion to a mellow, not too salty, nuoc mam and varied herbs and ingredients for certain things, especially marinades. Unlike with Euro Maggi, the combi properly done is quite nice. EDIT : Euro Maggi is quite nice but for light marinades is too much for me.

maybe but doubtful. don’t know if it would make up 14 secs but it sure would come close....

Another way to look way it would be to equalize things and to remove a couple hundred millions of dollars of stuff from the F1 car before it can start. Then see what times shake out of rhe runs.

This is more representative of what is possible to pay for and get value for if you’re a SMB with a 20 million dollar budget and want to go racing. It definitely shows how F1 is only for those who have 100 million or more to blow a year. Drivers are pretty much the same. But budget makes a huge difference, in this case…

I thought about that too. Then I remembered idiots abound everywhere at all levels. Sounds harsh, but often we forget that.

Man, you should hear my wife about that. She gets a neck pain with it. Had to get a mini-pillow to snap on behind it.

Let him off the hook if he makes all the Florida GOP legislature abandon that stupid Amendment 4.

Hmm, certainly explains all the reports about that LionAir jumpseat pilot who knew what to do. Sad. What happened in maint?

heh, they’re gonna be confused by mine. 5 very different users on mine. good luck.

Interesting.

More than likely the November 1018 AD or Operations Bulletin is what “addresses” the problem; however, it’s clear that the emphasis was not strong enough to make sure all pilots, maintenance, and airlines understood exactly what is going on.
What’s odd is that we have a number of reports of US pilots,…

Actually, I got an elbow from someone recently who moved from Chicago to here when I started to explain how to get to San Vicente Mountain Park. After I explained, she started laughing and I knew right away why. Sometimes that grain of truth just has to work its way to the top.

Yeah, although I have to say that Kenan Thompsons accent is right on too, in fact, it’s about a perfect match for a lot of people I know down in Orange County.
