I love my reel mower. Virtually no maintenance, no noise, and my 9 year old can mow the lawn. (As such, I don't really care how hard it is to push. But it isn't hard to push.)
But for 1/4 acre? Get a decent self propelled.
Pretty much every job offer I have ever received in writing has had a drug test clause in it.
"yeah, we'd like to offer you this job. *You must pass the drug test and criminal background check"
It's standard as far as I know.
LOL, Homeland Security. Because this threatens the security of our homeland. This bullshit is starting to sound more and more like Germany 1933-1945.
I was listening to NPR Marketplace this morning which had a short tidbit on this.
The NFL supplied Homeland Security with a list of sites that...
Do you use public roads? Public education? Any other government services?
Are you perhaps benefiting somehow from living in a society with a social structure, law and order, and such?
This.
I wish I had known that crucial difference when I first started going to school 12 years ago.
I could have saved myself 2 years of a nearly worthless AAS degree in EET and I could have went for a BSEE like I should have. I eventually did get it last year, but damn. I wish I had got it a...
Things were better then.
Men were still men.
Certain folk weren't allowed to vote.
A man's word still counted for something.
Women were still chained to the stove.
I went online in late 1995.
Footfall and Lucifer's Hammer are awesome. I also enjoyed The Mote In God's Eye, but couldn't get into the sequel.
Forge of God was great, and the sequel Anvil of Stars was even better.
My mortgage payment is very similar. Online account setup is free and pretty easy, but they want a $20 "convenience" fast pay fee for paying online.
F that.
Reimbursement is part of it. Because of the way work is scheduled, I have enough time to do the majority of my school work at work.
But the job isn't even in my field of study. This makes me feel like I'm wasting time. But it sure is convenient.
I dislike my job and I despise the fact that after inflation, I now make less than when I hired on three years ago. However, it's an awesome environment for getting my Master's. So I'll likely stick around until that's finished. If the raise in January turns or to be shitty again, I'll be...
No emotion involved here. A man like him has no place amongst the living. Justice will be served when he's dead. What the government of that banana republic calls justice is nothing but a joke. If the government so obviously gets it wrong, then the people must make it right.
Fuck the TI-89.
I have had both the 89 and my trusty HP-48GX. I always went back to the HP.
I sold the TI-89.
The HP is worth more now than it was new. Not that's in investment, I just find it curious.
I work in nuclear remediation at DOE sites. Most of my time has been spent at Hanford. I have worked on a few projects there, currently I am at the Waste Treatment Plant (VitPlant) that is supposed to turn all of Hanford's liquid yuck into glass.
Problem is storage now, with Yucca Mountain...
I have the LCP and have been pretty happy with it as a pocket/backup gun.
It shoots surprisingly well considering its size and seemingly bad sights.
380 is not that hard to find around here for some reason (Pacific Northwest).
I am thinking about trading it for a Walther PPK (plus cash) at a...
So how many different models of semi-auto handguns DO exist that fire rimmed cartridges?
There's a good reason you don't see very many non-50AE Desert Eagles around.
I have used the 44Mag DE before and it had feeding issues.
I stated that none of the AE cartridges are rimmed. That is correct...
