    I agree with that, but this was pre-BCS days and I often wondered if you were an A&M fan how/where did you watch them on TV and it was 2 hours away.

    The Grand Tour (from the guys in Top Gear)

    Are these car makers like Ferrari, Bugatti etc..going to give them a car to test as easily as they do on the BBC? I'm sure the show will kick ass, but I'm going to guess there's a lot of cool stuff you can't do when you aren't associated with the BBC like drive to the north pole or drive a Ford...

    A 30 year quest/dream maybe this week

    That's news to me since I have never been to WV. I live currently less than an hour from Austin in the hill country and housing is booming because we are seeing a bleed over from the tech industry. My girlfriend moved to Austin. Her sister married a guy in Austin. I went to a christmas party...

    A 30 year quest/dream maybe this week

    Like I said I'm not a big art person, how did you get exposed and interested in it? I googled to take a look. The only real "art" I own is just a painting of a plantation next to some property I hunted on 30 years ago. It's numbered, I think it's worth $75. Mainly I got it just because I...

    I had to pay my sister, she wanted a comission based on how much she spent.....let me check on that. Fuck no, considering you are in charge of how much is spent. She was joking but seriously.

    A 30 year quest/dream maybe this week

    Been there. I have never got a "real" paycheck. Always on contract. After you get paid you eat at the finest places in town, then before you get paid the next check you check the couch for enough change to eat on the dollar menu.

    Sorry if it offends anyone. I don't live like most people. I'm single with no kids and for the most part live life like someone who makes 1/5th to 1/10th what I do. Just looking at how much people spend on these boards on entertainment would be enough for me to live on for the most part...

    The "Shit I just bought" thread

    Not a fan of Thompson Cigar. Just order from cigar international if you can. I buy short stories from them often. Thompson seems to be more in the email/calling scam business than cigars.

    If I saw a business that had those hours the first thing I would think of was it's a hobby and not a business.

    College Football 2015-16

    I always thought it was odd when I went to college in the early 90's about 2 hours away from A&M in East, TX and we got more LSU games on TV than A&M games and that was 6 hours from Baton Rouge in another state. Lot of oddball shit in TV packaes or whatever.

    Company bought - potential incentives to stay?

    A company I worked for was bought out by a Fortune 500 company after I left. It really saved the company as they were circling the drain. However that company go bought out by another larger 500 company and they closed that company down completely shortly after because it was deemed too much of...

    College Football 2015-16

    Missouri didn't have it's own network in the 80's for at least local TV coverage? I'm pretty sure it was covered thru most of the state, but we didn't compete with an NFL or MLB team. This during an era where LSU didn't win shit and a coach came out after a game once we lost by 40+ points and...

    What do you do?

    A lot of time we are under time constraints. Many of our projects are fabricated while the design is being finished. Normally we capture a lot of the issues and they are incorporated in later drawings further into the project. LOTS of times a revision is a phone call saying revise all welds...

    What do you do?

    No it can't. For one thing it's in our contract that we must "page turn" and that's what is in the contract to document the changes so we can bill for them as revisions. Another is we don't get electronic design drawings or engineering drawings from the customer or the engineering firm hired by...

    There's only one bakery in New Orleans that makes all the french bread daily for true po-boys made on french bread. There rest are just sandwiches or whatever. They're not true po-boys. They start baking at 4am and make deliveries all day to various po-boy shops. Roast beef po-boys are nice...

    What do you do?

    Well part of document control will never be automated. They have to do a page turn and document what changed on each drawing for each revision. So 1000 drawings might hae 3 revisions total for each drawing. All that has to "page turned" and looked at and decide what was changed and document it.

    What what? I pluck the feathers on my deplucking machine and give her the whole canvasback and she cooks it with cornbread dressing all at once. Something similar to this. She makes the cornbread separate at first obviously. I don't have her recipe because it's "magic". Before anyone ask...

    No idea, but there's a lot of pressure for the feds to raise rates. So if they raise it obviously rates go up. If they don't raise them it's because the bottom has fallen out again.

    We've tried direct hire in the past. People who are able to do the job feel it's below them even when we give them an above average pay.
