New York state APPROVES $15 minimum wage for fast-food workers | Daily Mail Online Apparently it's just fast food workers if I read that right. Other industries to follow later. So those making $9-$14 in non fast food are fucked.

The good news is steel shot isn't required for grouse so you get a soft lead pellet instead of a rock hard steel pellet like you get in ducks/geese. Almost early teal season. I can already taste them

Resume padding?

LSU is out 3.2 million for the cancelled game. Then the AD opened his mouth about ticket refunds and confused everyone that they would get the entire ticket price back. The TAF came out and said he's a moron and doesn't speak for us. Well considering the average face value of a ticket is $25...

I very rarely see pumpkin stuff around halloween other than maybe a pumpkin pie at the grocery store and it's for a week tops. Maybe because people don't raise pumpkins here.

Not a fan of coffee. I used to work at a place that shared the driveway with the community coffee place where they unloaded the beans via a grain elevator off the river and then roasted. So 3 days a week this overpowering smell of coffee. Hated it.

Do people get an aquarium for christmas and then need stuff/fish to fill it in January? Just guessing. I can see lots of people buying "part" of a gift and then making you finish it out or giving a gift card to help. In the past our busiest time of the year has been January thru March and...

We/they didn't lay off anyone. I quit when I was told not to do the job I was hired to do. I was given the option after I quit to stay on anyway. I passed. I have a contract that last till the end of the year and the owner said they will continue to pay me and pay for the house I'm currently in...

They are somewhat like Chik Fil A around here. Pretty quick with people working there that don't speak ebonics, are friendly, and get the job done. That's a lot of the draw compared to some of the other places. As far as I know the menu hasn't changed in 20+ years since I ate at the first one...

I'm officially unemployed now even tho I get paid till the end of the year. I'm supposed to consult during that period. We'll see. Owner came to town and told me to lay off the petro chemical approach. I was specifically hired to do that by the president of the company. Apparently it was...

In Amarillo they have the steak house where they put your pic up if you eat an entire 72oz steak with "fixings". There's a fair number of women on that wall.

I've done two leases on property I own. Both times they stopped drilling entirely in the area shortly after. First was the big downturn when everything just dried up. The second was just as oil was starting to drop and it was in an area that is very expensive oil wise. So they shut it down too...

Guess I did, lost track of the post sorry. Rumors and a fair number of articles about Exxon buying up Chevron. I don't think the US government will alow that regardless of who is in power. Just selling ad space I imagine. I don't see it happening at all.

If you were in the south your guys would be begging for time off unpaid during hunting season. Hapened every year in our shop. You could give some guys 2 months off during hunting season (it last 5 months here) without pay and they would take it. It would coincide with your slow time, it didn't...

I can imagine secretaries talking about personal stuff, but how would they know about bonus checks? That's one thing every place I have worked is on top of. Everywhere else they get the outside company that does them to hand deliver them and you have to sign for them - right there. Regular pay...

Between this and the new ghostbusters. Pass. Worst part is young people will think "you liked this shit?"

Considering she's a democrat...

I dunno. I don't drink so that ruled out getting drunk and throwing up. Just eat what everyone else eats.

Is it really 42" by code there? I have no idea what code is here but the railing we do on platforms a couple hundred feet up are 36" by OSHA requirements.

I threw up tonight. First time since probably elementary school almost 40 years ago. Rustled.

Someone told me they planned to run it up to current day. I have no idea where they got that from or if they were full of shit. Seems like a stretch.

Back pocket. It's hard to get a phone nowdays that fits comfortable in the back pokcet. In the front I guess. But if you are up and active not so much. I'm not even sure what it is at work. It's been in my desk for 8 months now. It will "fit" but that's it. You can't do much other than walk...

Pair of Wrangler jeans or a Levi's. Considering I'm supposed to carry the phone to the shop or the field I don't see the point. I'm about as non hispter as they come. You can't carry them in the field via cia hanging it off your belt either. Anyway I just got another phone and don't carry the...

I get a phone thru work that won't even fit in the back pocket of a pair of jeans. I leave it at work in my desk every day and only use it if I travel.

There used to be a show on the outdoor channel, it still may come on. Guys would travel all the way to AK and vacation for a few weeks and rent equipment and such. Work their ass off mining on a site that the organization had rights to (gold panning whatever organization) and when they pooled it...

I'm not sure that is what they have planned. I was thinking maybe it just had a bluebooth deal to go with it. I don't know. I'm the 0.01% that look for a smaller phone.

Dead at 83. Loved that show.

No we all use windows 7 pro for a variety of reasons. I just didn't know at what point did adding more memory not really help.

Yeah I'm not worried about the cost. Just wondering if windows or my program would effectively use it if I added more memory. Some of these drawing files are 4-5gb and loading and sorting thru all the layers and turning them off is really dragging the system down. As mentioned when I pull out...

What's the working limit on memory? Building a new machine for work related stuff. One customer keeps sending us multi gigabyte drawings with 100's of layers and I have to strip out what I need. It's incredibly slow and painful to mess with. I'm going to build a new computer since basically...

7" phones were announced at IFA. Why not stick a phone deal onto the tablet or laptop at that point.

What kind of real fan has their wedding during football season? Seriously. A friend of mine almost had to break it off beause a plantation they had wanted came open during football season....the day of Alabama/LSU. He had already gotten enough "no I'm not going to attend" that they finally...

LSU won't get played due to lightning. Still can't believe they have to stop the game for 30 minutes when lightning is within 6 miles of the stadium. As fast as it's moving that means as soon as it's gone and they run back on the field the next storm gets there.

I lost my key. I upgraded from 7 to 10. When I tried to roll back to 7 it ate my key and said mine was invalid. I called the activation number. At that time the wait was between 5 and 8 hours. I bought a new key off reddit for $25 I think it was. I used a company key on the other install.

Probably in that ball park of $4 to $6. Maybe one day a week I spend about $10 if I do something other than fast food. No meal on Friday and we have a meal together every two weeks so the company pays for that. I bring leftovers once every two weeks only because I like to get out of the office...

I bought a PCI card with a parallel port and 2 serial ports on it. Lots of CNC equipment still uses a parallel port. Grand total of $0.74 for the card and <$2.00 shipping from Amazon. I'm sure the box it came in with postage cost more than $2.00 why not just throw them away?

My girlfriend stole my syrup apparently. I made pancakes and didn't have syrup and I keep a pretty big jar of it handy that I get from my cousin who makes cane syrup. I didn't realise it till I already made the pancakes.

Apply for that, good resume builder. Get to see some incredible country if nothing else. Edit - I didn't see the native AK thing. One thing I noticed while up there the natives and the people who live in AK are really on two separate sides of issues a lot, especially concerning fishing...

I got my masters there. The "project" had been abondoned by 3 other students prior to it being handed to me. Most of the work was done already. Temple Inland funded it so what did I care? Funny how that works at the Arthur Temple College of Forestry at SFA. I really wouldn't call it a masters. I...

It's the only way (at least at the time) to get a wildlife degree at SFA double major in forest managment (habitat) and wildlife management with a minor in biology. 148 hours for a BS. The people I know that ended up in consulting sure don't suit and ties to work lol. Most of them work for...
