Yeah, I have been seriously weighing that as my "last act" to lead into retirement. I'm just not as sure yet how much my consultative cybersecurity skillset will lean into independent consultancy. But I have been poking around looking. I give a lot of high level cybersecurity talks to...

Some trends I'm seeing emerge right now that might be multi-industry : Middle Management, who previously did a lot of "watch the dashboards, make sure the lights are all green" are being looked at HARD. Because if they're really coaching/developing needed workers cool, but if they're just...

I'm at the point of literally thinking "Find a way to pile up as much money as I can in the next decade and then fuck off to the middle of nowhere to be Crazy Ol Haus the guy who makes stupid metal doodads", then take up a hobby of yelling at clouds.

That does bring up another aspect of it.... What to do in your retirement? I know people who are "I'm going to vacation, travel, and laze around" and I don't see myself being happy like that. My grandfather raised me and as I've gotten older I see more of his behavior in me than I ever...

Saw this today : And now I'm back into a mode of thinking about what's going to happen in around a decade with my wife and I are done with all aspect of the modern work-a-day world. Looking at projections I see recommendations that you need 10 years worth of your expenses saved up in some...

Feels bad man..... https://www.aol.com/finance/quarter-gen-x-ve-laid-152156619.html At 56, I can attest to every one of these stats except the laid off one (thankfully and knocking on wood) Highlights : • 24% of Gen Xers laid off in the last decade still don’t have jobs. • 49% say they make...

I don't know of anybody using it for face wrinkles. But I do know someone who gets it on their scalp to , of all things, reduce migraine frequency. Heaven knows how that f*ing works, but it seems to.

If you take 35 north from Dallas into Oklahoma, around the Turner Falls area you can see where we've also done that on a smaller scale, just sliced through what should be rocky hills/baby mountains because I-35 will not be denied. Same in some places in Arkansas as well that I've seen doing...

Went to see this today. It ranks a solid "meh". Better than any of the MCU stuff since Endgame I've seen (with the exception of the Sony produced No Way Home, which I liked) I'll give it a 6 or 6.5 or so....If I were more of a FF fan it'd probably be a 7-7.5 . The retro 60's vibe worked...

And remember kids, if you trim back all the bush around it, it'll look bigger!

The problem was this held through Endgame. But post endgame the comic nerds have stopped being the backstop of reliable viewers. This was probably, IMHO, a combination of them just going too deep into "esoteric characters few have heard of" (looking at you Shang-chi) and unfaithfulness to the...

Veep and Idiocracy need to be granted their own special category of "Films and shows which STARTED as a comedy and BECAME documentaries"

Don't hypothetical yourself out of ever really knowing. Pursue it, enjoy things, see where they lead. Worst case scenario you have to have a talk about how you can't take living in LA. best case scenario happily ever after happens for you. You miss 100% of the shots you don't take, (and...

They are, and this has been going on for a long time. Apparently the "smart people" haven't considered the BLS stats reliable for over a decade, but today's revisions are just a new extreme watermark. This is the biggest set of revisions since the 2020 crash.

Yeah, it was one of those revisions that is so extreme it even has some pretty conservative true believers asking if the BLS has an honest grip to really measure the numbers..... And yeah DXY took a punch in the taco today relative the last week and a half of good upward movement.

Not sure why I'm the grumpy old Master Shifu of browsers now. But I'll say I have been using Brave for probably a few years now and love it. Easy to control a lot of the stupid tracking, although this site still has an odd bug where it never remembers my "NO, I don't want to allow you to post...

Yeah, just make sure there's enough greasiness in that food and it should shotgun through fast and you'll probably powershit half those calories out in an hour. That's how it works, right?

Mine says "Hi, you're reached Haus, the year is 2025... you should know how to text me if you need me."

This is something I wonder about. Sure, it would feel janky and like "cheating", but what is there to stop the fed from doing a big rate drop for 1 quarter to allow the government to refinance debt on the cheap, then putting it back to wherever they wanted it?

I already see with what I do, for me to find a good fit I'm going to need to find some up and coming company where they need a "Master Shifu" Cyber guy to teach younger SEs, or a "We need someone who looks like a damn professor making our talks at trade shows" person.... Or call in favors with...

My invasive thoughts this weekend, in a nutshell...

So I had a moderately calm week getting over having that mass cryo ablated in my kidney. Except that I've been running a low grade fever for the last 4 days (which they say isn't abnormal), and I didn't have a bowel movement for 3 days after the procedure. But then I call this Friday since at...

My grandmother had one at her house and this was the way.... Opening it was always a reflex test to catch/push whatever starts falling forward first.

Get shit on sale chief, stock up and freeze. Not to mention one of my comfort foods from my youth is the occasional fried bologna sammich.

So I still have my 3, but it's hitting the point where each afternoon just before dinner time it's tapping into "Excuse me, I have to go into power saving mode because I'm dying now" mode. And since my work has a thing that gives us a stipend every year to spend on various "personal health...

For those wondering what 20 glorious cubic feet of newly acquired freezer space looks like........ This is it next to the over quarter century old Kenmore which I believe I have referenced elsewhere in this thread as the "Obelisk which laughs at time" We also have a smaller 7cf chest freezer...

Yep, Cardiac arrest. With the amount of roids he has pretty obviously done over time to keep that kind of mass into his 70's I don't think this should be a shock to anybody.

There was a whole thing about this in S. America I believe. An area where miners set up shop essentially adjacent to a new hydroelectric facility (dam). And they had a deal with pay really low rates for excess generated power, and then curtail when power demand spiked. In my head I'm even...

Well I remember discussing this with some people I know in APAC a decade ago. They were already seeing price pressures on their labor costs because those Indians coming into the call centers were making money which was really good compared to other Indians, but then they were getting exposed to...

Well, I was kinda wondering when this would pop on my bingo card.... I know folks at a BPO (Business Process Outsourcer) who operate low cost call centers across the globe where they can hire folks for a pittance, and they're now starting to openly panic at how randos with cloud workspaces...

Can't imagine with the current complexity (i.e. hash requirements) that doing it in any large city with a city power grid electrical cost would come in a profitable. Maybe I'm wrong. I do wonder how much you need in solar to run a mining rig. Let's see what Grok says...

I have it on good authority that to do this requires a supercollider to create a pocket universe, and then an army of hardwired monkeys.....

I thought that was what they used to explain Superboy/Connor Kent's super strength, was that it was actual tactile telekinesis as I remember it.... Then again, I remember 1970's superman who was strong enough to just push planets out of the way or meteors..... then push them back... and not...

When hearing people complain about female silver surfer I always ask... "And if they had cast Sydney Sweeney in skin painted CGI (and maybe thrown in some power cosmic nipples)" would you be complaining? Going to see this tomorrow afternoon with the wife. Really going in with no preconceptions...

Honestly.... I don't think the $16m settlement was a "bribe" to Trump. They could have gotten the merger done one way or another. It was CBS realizing that either they settle, or in the trial a lot of how they did what they did with Democrats and the media would have been outted very...

This kid is ahead of the game..... Or the parents might be complete failures. Jury is out.
