I freelance, and call myself semi-retired. I turn 42 this year. I'll cherry-pick projects that interest me. I don't usually seek them out, it will be former clients, business associates, or people who know me who bring me the thin

Uh, no, not even close. Latest Nall Report [1]: 73.8% due to pilot-related (action or inaction). A TBM is pressurized, and would "lose oxygen" only if the cabin had already depressurized, either due to a rare malfunction (like the

This is not just tech, it's life. Ever wonder why your plumber takes 2 weeks and $150/hr to summon, but aspiring actors are on every corner parsing your 12-word coffee order for a thin fiver? Macroeconomics is all around. :)

I read accident reporting and investigations ravenously. Even a scrap or an anecdote may help me one day. As a pilot who has been forced to land a plane off-airport, you would be amazed at how the brain, trying to save itself, can pull any

Too bad I wasn't your client, you'd have experienced one. :) I owned a business that was randomly selected for an NRP audit a few years back. Spent 35 grand on CPAs and defense. After 4 months of an "up to the elbow" exa

The implication here is that the US NOAA has jurisdiction over the entire Earth, or is sovereign over any extra-terrestrial camera that might be floating over it? Ludicrous and arrogant. My country's bureaucrats are just the worst some

We beat him home, I think our paths diverged at the Congo (we said nope and boated around, he went through I believe) -- we were in touch briefly last year and contemplated tackling the congo in a group. I think he's doing Asia also, a

I know all of the media is very POTUS-centric lately, so maybe there was a better word I could have used to describe a person who is proud of his country and its progress -- but a Ghanaian is very proud to be Ghanaian, and will positively l

My wife and I were just in Kumasi with our Subaru a few months ago -- amazing people. I was able to find a gentleman to run all over the markets in search of the peculiar Japanese lugnuts that I had lost one of. He came back in an hour with

I'm looking forward to envying the blokes who release blockchain-repo and make a gozillion bucks for solving this problem. :)

Orz mode on. :) Items in * are poorly translated and not to be taken literally. (edit, lol, fail. Didn't realize asterisks cause italics. Sigh) From my experience with Hackintosh, you're downloading a canned VMWare image of a p

I code on a pair of Samsung 4K 55" Curved TVs, and enjoy them immensely. What am I missing out on with your IPS advice? I don't do graphical/visual work, and you didn't mention anything specific about why a high-end moni

I use a Chrome plugin called "HTML5 Content Blocker" which allows me to selectively block JS, CSS, Images, Objects, or Media. I generally run with only the "Media" switch on, and I haven't seen autoplayed videos in

We tried em in Los Angeles. Called on day 89, said we didn't like it -- they asked us if we had a preferred charity to donate the used mattress to, we said nope. They sent it to some homeless shelter apparently. Refund came right back

Frankly, all a tech recruiter needs to do to earn a gold star from me is to spell my name right and have a job req that would at least, theoretically, be in the same building as the job that I am actually qualified to do. Bonus Sparkles for
