    Windows 10

    I have windows 7 and windows 10 on a separate SSD's and can boot to whichever. Since I did that I still get the "option" on the windows 7 boot to upgrade to 10. If I run windows updates you can't select any important or optional upgrades to install without picking the windows 10 update. Not a...

    Power Tools

    You can get power tools not made in China if you want to spend money. Most of the job sites we work have it in their contract that if you don't buy made in the USA tools you have to submit where you looked etc...to get a waiver. But sometimes the prices you pay you could buy 50 of another name...

    Home Improvement

    Here in the hill country of TX they are huge. You never see a house advertised for sale without one and they take up about 20% of radio advertising. The only one I have dealt with was on a well pump system and I really don't know how much it was, rolled into a new well and pump. It used 50lb...

    I looked in January '14 and looked in 3 different states and I had a hard time finding some in stock and prices were outrages I thought. Everyone had the same deal, new regulations required that went into effect that month. Maybe they have had time to catch up or they rescended the regulation...

    What do you do?

    2:30 AM and I just got back in town from an emergency job interview. My dad was reading craigslist (I didn't know he knew what that was) and saw an ad for someone to make shop drawings for plate work. So my dad drives there and puts his own hat in the ring for contract work. They talk and...

    It's a FSA move and there's a few pages here of people commenting on it. I didn't get to where I am by dicking people or companies out of their shit. She hasn't done shit with her/him/it life and comments on shit as if she were a CEO of a fortune 500 company and has no real life experiences...

    I read an article over the weekend that the movie producer (no clue which one) was going to reimburse theaters for added security for the showings.

    Wait till you price out new ones that have had a sudden 100% increase due to some government regulation. I think the bottom of the barrel quality ones now start at $1,000 to $1,2000 and go up from there.

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    Got a call last night from the Lt. Governor of a state I no longer live in. Was kind of pumped. Found out today my niece told me he also called her friend that was trying to win some deal on TV as a chef. Oh well. 2 things I learned talk to a career politican, which I never do. 1...

    Company Raises It's Minimum Wage to $70,000 and All Hell Breaks Loose

    You're worth what someone is willing to pay. They would pay you less if it wasn't against the law. Let that sink for a few.

    What do you do?

    I guess it varies by industry. It's good for a laugh from the HR lady before she gives them to me and I chunk them. Not to mention if a minority sent in a resume with a picture on it I can't imagine the shit that could ensue later for throwing it away immediately. It kind of goes with saying...

    What do you need the photos for? Everyone will me I'm crazy, but I've never sent a resume in the last 20+ years that didn't get a call back on. That includes ones out of my area of specialization and in regions of the country that don't even have petro chemical where I thought I might like to...

    What do you do?

    Every place I have worked since high school has had a crawfish boil each spring. Normally knock the shop off at noon and invite some customers and everyone ate crawfish and drank beer on a Friday afternoon. Most shops sold their scrap and used it to pay for a boil. The places without a shop just...

    Company Raises It's Minimum Wage to $70,000 and All Hell Breaks Loose

    If you paid them what they were worth they would likely make less than minimum wage. Minimum wage is based on how long it takes you to find someone else to flip burgers. In a lot of places not long, especially if there were no legal minimum wage.

    Got all that living in mom's hasement? Do you have any real life experiences other than selling mtg cards and whatever else you have read on the internet? You're quick with a solution that isn't based on real world life experiences AT ALL but I read it on the internet.

    Post how you like it. I have a lot of color slides from my astrophotography days. I actually liked it better than the digital stuff but you can only get slides developed in 1 or 2 places now and Fuji and Kodak stopped selling them.

    The "Shit I just bought" thread

    I'm suprised these ultra high end vacuums really took off at a time when carpet usage in a house has got to be at all time low, well since the advent of carpet. Sure there always rainbow vacuums but I always assumed it was more pyramid scheme than vacuums. For $700 I would do with a regular...

    The NSA watches you poop.

    It specifically says "to provide the NSA more than 1.1 billiondomesticcellphone calling records daily" Maybe that includes calls originating in the US that terminate outside the US....but would that be 1.1 billion calls daily? That would be 3-4 calls per day of every man/woan/child in the US...

    Sounds kind of like "fun". I bet you get some adrenaline going. I'm not sure I would be all up on a sport where you see so many ambulances. I ride for the most part to get away from such. Do you have to a few after a ride to decompress so to speak from the rush?

    Did 4 miles up and down Cibolo creek which is one of the creeks near the Blanco river that flooded so bad in Central TX this year. Lots of trees and crap in the way, probably will be until the next flood. I was tired I'm glad I had water and food on my bike cause I was too tired to drive the...
