Same here. Nowadays I usually do "reverse interviews" and have the candidate grill me and ask me questions. After all, there's a ton of tech jobs and the power is in the hands of the candidate; their questions should come fir

My current batch of fuel containers are all from Justrite. They're expensive, but I don't have any issues with leaks. I have a 1-gallon for 2-stoke fuel, a 5-gallon for the gas mower, and another 5-gallon in yellow for diesel. ht

They don't really seem that big in person. And they're amazingly hard to see from any distance since they're essentially just a thin flat airfoil. Here's a not-especially-good video I just uploaded of one flying over my

They're often deployed elsewhere for missions and/or training, but the home base for all of them is Whiteman AFB. There's only 20 of them. I do wonder how many megatons of nuclear weapons are stored there, about 20 miles from

I live on a farm very close to this area. All the B-2s are based at nearby Whiteman Air Force Base. They fly over often -- one even fly over my farm today about an hour ago. This one was probably on final approach during the summer when the

The ERCOT campus has their own generation capability along with sitting between two distribution grids. Same with their DR site in Bastrop. In the case of a black start condition (grid totally down), ERCOT would need to come up first to coo

Yep, as late as earlier this year there's a ton of stuff inside the DHS that still requires IE and flash.

All US rail freight cars have a "bleed rod" that releases all the air in the brake system so you can move cars for switching. Most large railroad yards nowadays are "hump yards" where a locomotive pushes cars over a smal

It's definitely an American HO scale layout. The track looks like Atlas and I recognize several of the buildings as HO-scale Revell kits that were popular at the time.

Back in 1989 I hauled a Toshiba portable up to the top of San Jacinto via the Palm Springs aerial tramway to do some work on AutoCAD. I didn't get much work done; mostly I just had to explain what this computer thing was. Toshiba proba

Yeah, that was fun. I worked in the Rackspace Austin office (an old call center building with it's own problems) but I often had to be in San Antonio for meetings. The noise was crazy. Even after taking steps to address the noise it wa

We have 10-acres and have similar problems. The amount of time and physical labor to get anything done is crazy. We have rodent problems, too, and our collection of six-towed barn cats do the best they can. Chickens do an amazing job on rod

That's exactly right, but the capacity is limited. ERCOT in Texas, for example, has 5 DC ties to the other grids: http://www.ercot.com/content/cdr/html/real_time_system_condi...

Yeah, I especially like it when I'm in the middle of a long email and some sort of click with my palm happens and it deletes most of what I've been typing. Just happened to me today. Be nice if there was a way to totally deactivat

I took a typing class back in high school in the 80's and it's probably the most useful class I ever took. I've been touch typing with the skills I learned on an IBM Selectric for over 30 years now with no RSI and a decent ty

My wife and I had a small ranch just north of Austin and had a ton of fire ants. Often when clearing a field with the tractor and a brush cutter I'd hit a mound of fire ants. If the wind was just right they'd blow right into my fa

Everyone has different needs, but having owned pretty much every type of RV available, I'd say a truck with a fifth-wheel is much easier to mange than a coach with a flat-tow car. A fifth-wheel is easy to backup when needed. A coach

It depends on where you live in Texas, but you only have to hit a deer once to understand the utility of those ugly brushguards. My son ran into a deer with our beater Aerostar minivan awhile back it totaled it. Airbag went off and everythi

You'll probably like the product teardowns of youtube user AvE. He usually does tools, but also the random appliance or product from time to time. His teardown of the Juicero is a classic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?
