Oh god. Personal stuff avoids the work laptop like the plague. Resume is updated, applications have been in all over. Thought I had a new gig lined up, but it fell through. I’m continuing to look too. The few folks here I’d like to work wit

Oh sure. It’s totally my perception. I can say that the voicemail was confusing and very very angry. I just wanted to know if these kinda of threats were something worth spending the time to find an attorney. If it’s not at all something th

Maybe cuz baseball players don’t make a habit of getting hit on the head?

I’m in a similar position. Except it’s not chaos that’s the issue, that is fixable here. It’s that I report to a gigantic dickbag. A migration had a couple of issues Friday night, with two customer apps not working. I only do the infra. Yet

I’ve got an LS6 build in process right now. Lots of us do it on the regular. It’s not that common with shitboxes, but even then it happens. We swapped my kids Honda Civic’s head about a year ago after a blown head gasket.

Maybe all those years racing electric r/c cars will serve me well.

And how they do it on movie sets has gotten 3 people killed that I know of, and probably more. They really need to learn from the professionals.

So? You still treat it as if it were live.

Also, to be pedantic: Brandon Lee wasn’t killed by a “bullet tip”. He was killed by a bullet. A bullet is the projectile that comes out of the weapon. A cartridge is the whole thing: case, primer, propellant, bullet.

No, a blank doesn’t have the normal amount of gun powder. Source: I’ve used them, also reload my own ammo and know this shit very well. As to your first point: firearms just don’t go off. He pulled the trigger, while pointing it in an unsaf

A few thoughts here. 1) I find it unlikely that anything propelled by a blank charge had enough oomph to hit the gal and exit her body and strike the director. 2) no one outranks safety. Anyone picking up a firearm, or being handed one, nee

Don’t matter. He should have verified its condition immediately upon accepting it from anyone else. Sure, other people f’d up in the chain, but ultimately he was responsible. No one out ranks safety.

So you’re arguing for free hunting licenses? I’m joking of course, a hunting license isn’t a form of ID. Curiously, my CHL isn’t a form of ID, even though it is state issued, has my pic, and I had to be finger printed to get it.

Blast from the past. Worked with him at PGP in 2000. I’m not convinced he was satoshi. But it wouldn’t surprise me if he really was.

Jesus people, I just passed on what an actual doc told me. There was no anecdote, no evidence, just what she told me. Calm the fuck down.

Had a discussion with a buddy and his doc wife Monday. She pointed out that the immune system might learn some weird protein on the variant X particle. Which leaves you open to variant Y which doesn’t have that protein. But the spike protei

“Nuclear attack sub” refers to a fast attack submarine with nuclear power, not a “boomer” that carries sub launched ballistic missiles with nuclear warheads. “Fast attack” subs hunt other subs, convoys, ships, etc. they are not strategic w

I feel like I’m about to rage quit. And I don’t work a retail/fast food job. It’s amazing what a toxic manager will inspire.
