I've never watched it but he's a big gun nut and is a regular on a big fun board I frequent.

There's no room for individuality in the military.

The problem is in some cases these women are taking slots in a training course such as the rangers. We spend a great amount of money on training to be "the tip of the spear" and none of them will ever be allowed in combat. Even if they performed every duty with the same efficiency as a male...

Good luck. I've had multiple doctors tell me that the spinal tap can be "inconclusive". It's pretty clear at this point I have MS. Anyway, here if you apply for disability they send you to a doctor recommended by the state to verify. I don't know what they do in reading spinal taps. I still have...

Reddit, like $25.

Saddens me. I used to listen to him on the radio do calls and then he was calling the Astros when I watched them most on TV. Can't believe he called Roger Maris's 61 home run all the way up to 3 years ago doing announcing.

I turned down a pay increase of 300% when I took my job outside San Antonio that would have meant moving to the bay area. Not for me and money ain't everything as they say.

Congrats! Is that the job that I looked at your resume?

Until the SEC Network and ESPN bitching in the last 2-3 years LSU never had a home game that didn't start at 7pm (rarely anyway). Now we get them at noon, 3pm, and 9pm etc...

Take the survey on live streams and get 250 gold in tanks, warships etc... http://survey.wargaming.net/s/LivestreamSurvey/

I used to play EQ back in the day when I owned the company and the shop had to work nights.

They didn't change the rate. So he's really gonna be screwed if he finds out the house is defective.

My USB 3.0 ports only work on some days, some days they do and some they don't. It's not a major issue, just annoying really.

That's why we "had" 7pm kick offs till our new AD got involved in it. He's liked only slightly more than the AD UT just fired. He's on record saying it's not a great idea for LSU to ask the other teams for us to wear white. Which is the rule but everyone has agreed to let LSU wear white. But...

I think FHA loans only send their own inspector but I have no idea. He said the real inspection hadn't been done. I've mentioned it before but I wouldn't believe anything an inspector said. I sold a house and the inspector was too fat to use a ladder so everything he looked at was eye level...

For once I'm glad I'm not going to the LSU game. Afternoon kick off and 95F heat.

Talked to an idiot today that is closing on a house with no inspection in 2 days. They are in a hurry to beat the interest rate hike. Fail on so many levels.

I send a thank you note, only because the people who interview me normally have 10,000 things going at once. Almost every time I sent one I heard back. They just had so much stuff going on they didn't do it till they got my note. Some of them I call. If you got interviewed with 50 other people I...

I live in the south and LOTS of houses have mold. There's mold and then there's mold. If you are interested have it inspected and find out. It's not uncommon here to have that smell of mold/mildew in out of reach places or not part of the main house and it's not great but it's not harmful.

Have thank you notes fallen out of favor a few days after an interview?

I have never been asked any of these types of questions. They ask about two things in almost all of the ones I have had in 25 years. One, tell me about your work experience and what you typically do. Two, tell us about the other companies you have worked for and what are they doing to solve...

Hurry up and wait. I'm sure it happens a lot of places. Guy interviewed me once because they had to get someone in place right away. That seemed to be the problem lol and he mentioned it 25 times and talked of timelines of getting someone in there in a few days. I didn't hear anything for a few...

When I first started in this work 25 years ago the shop unionized. That didn't last AT ALL. They put up a board listing what welder 1st class made, fitter 1st class made and on down the line. Everyone got grouped up and they found out a lot of them were getting above average pay and no...

I don't know. I wasn't involved in their negotiations. I asked the president who does all that once. He said they don't get anything the other shop and our shop got. Just health insurance (entire company pays 100% of health insurance premium) and two weeks of vacation and X days of sick time...

The place I just left is non union in TX obviously. We have 2 shops in MS about 15 minutes apart. One builds sub assemblies for the other. One shop is unionized and the other isn't. It's a very weak union. You can't call up and ask for another X or whatever. Anyway the unionzied shop makes on...

Well they way they phrase it doesn't help. Are you familiar with? That's a terrible way to ask a question. I'm familiar with how nuclear power plants work, but you wouldn't want me to have anything to do with them. But they always ask if I am familiar with X and Y. Yeah I'm familiar with a...

I attend one a year on average. They have the festival for it in the spring which is where that pic came from, but I've never been. I have to go out Thursday and kill a few hogs for this one. It's kind of like a crawfish boil. Part food, and part socializing while you eat and entertainment.

I always like when the interviewer or recruiter ask you a yes or no question because they have no clue what it means. Who doesn't answer yes. Recruiters always ask if I'm familiar with API, AWS, ASME, AISC codes and stuff and I know they don't even know what those mean in the slightest. Who...

Been back in LA for a week and I think I have gained 10 pounds. Just when I thought I had it under control I got an invite to a cochon de lait this weekend. Here comes another 10 pounds.

The SEC network must have run out of stuff to do shows on already. Tonight they have one on the coach that was at LSU for a total of 47 days before dying in a plane crash.

I got a check from the original hospital today for the exact amount they turned me over to collections for. So they billed me. I paid it. They cashed the check. They turned me over to collections. I had it removed from my credit report by sending the agencies a copy of the cancelled check. Then...

They always want someone with more experience. A professor I know said when they interviewed him for the job they wanted someone with more experience. He wrote the book so to speak on that entire subject. He invented it.

My brother in law was a supervisor for a McDonalds franchise in south Louisiana and southwest MS until a few months ago. Not exactly a high cost of living area. Their starting pay is just over $11/hour. They had to pay that to get people who would actually show up. Of course for just manual...

My parents live in an area where the only code is for a commercial/retail business. There is no code of a home and their house has 2x6 walls which is very odd there in the south, and full of insulation. It's 3,400 sq.ft. and they are there all the time and average about $125/month electric bill...

Not worth a damn. Good luck getting anything other than lead/steel to fly more than a few feet with enough energy to penetrate waterfowl etc... There's a reason salt load won't even penetrate a person past about 10-15 yards and that's if they don't have any clothes in the way. It's a novelty...

Guess they counted where the ball went when he turns it stretches out. I still want to hear the official answer from the SEC next week on stopping the clock on a non first down pass. Then they huddled around and started the play like ummmm OK we forgot what we were doing. I don't know what...

Maybe so, still seems odd they didn't measure considering it was the drive that almost changed the outcome of the game. Same drive they wound up stopping the clock on a pass that wasn't a first down. They stopped the clock and ran out there and then said ooops it wasn't a first and reset with...

MSU got a first down on this.

I laughed.

That will NEVER happen.
