I had an issue with a propane company contractor failing to secure permits before installing a line, which caused an expensive backyard project to grind to a halt, while still incurring cost. Every call to support was met with very friendl

Thank you for your reply. Unless he's up super-late, we let him read as late as he wants. Despite the cost, doing the full neuro-psych evaluation was the best thing we've ever done. It helped us (the parents) really get insight i

We started with very subtle things like circuit diagrams in lab reports, and escalated from there. Bear in mind that this was the late 90's so the expectations for computer-produced anything were much lower.

I will also add the VERY, VERY, VERY important step of being a layer of communication between you and the buyer. With that relay, no statements made by you about the state or condition of your home would ever be directly seen by the buyer.

Very much this. My son has ADHD (full neuropsych eval) and he has attention issues, but his main challenge is executive functioning. Daily routines do exist, but are achieved through literally months of repetition, not by conscious effort

Same story here. Mostly 140s bowler as a kid, though I did hit 190+ a couple times. My one and only "make" of the 7-10 happened when I kissed the outside side of the (whatever pin is on the right) as my ball fell into the gutter

This is so nice. My college roommates and I had an informal agreement to incorporate something from MS Paint in every piece of work we turned in. The contest ended when one roommate "won" by creating the cover page of his Master

I wear glasses with the Oculus. I use the spacer that you get get for it to move the screen a little further from my face. It generally works well as long as Oculus lenses and glasses lenses are very clean.

The struggle is real. I've had the fairly unique experience of being an executive (VP Eng) of a 50 person software startup where I was the only man on the executive team (CEO, COO, and CFO were women) for a period of several months, a

I guess the good news is that I still have identity monitoring from that time where the federal government gave up my information, including SSN, phone numbers, finger and toe prints, etc.

I worked in a LEED gold building. One summer weekend, I stopped by the office to pick something up and noticed that the AC was still fully operational and keeping the building cool, despite there being no one in the building.

Very interesting! In college, I strongly experienced the phenomena of taking a test and not being able to remember the exact content, but could accurately remember the layout of the page that the data was on. I also got into the habit of c

>Ex-Amazon SDE here: SOA is good, tiny microservices are not. Fully agree. Unless the strict granularity is needed, which it's usually not, services should align to the tasks that the upstream "user" needs to accomplish.

Yeah, encampments of people and areas strewn with needles are a little more to deal with than the occasional homeless person or group. My city had its share of homeless and drug, and we'd find the occasional needle, but it was part of

Those have been my tools as well. They work decently well, and were more than sufficient to everything from my random architectural noodling all the way to presentations with C-Level folks at $100B companies.

I spent a lot of time on the topic earlier this year, and settled on a pair of KEF R3s, a combo DAC/headphone amp, and a power amp. It's by no means a budget or discrete setup, but it meets my needs for high quality audio in my &

Based on that wording, they could use the data to perform their own targeted advertising in those places. They just won't share the data with third parties.
