    Health Problems

    I've heard it all now. No name for it but I apparently I have the opposite of AIDS. My immune system is in major overdrive and I have symptoms of tons of autoimmune related diseases. Been on interferon but it doesn't seem to help. Lots of theories. They send my results weekly to a team at the...

    What are you listening to at the moment?

    Sure I'veSure posted this before. But it's sorta uplifting to me in an odd sort of a way. Pretty much me to a T. Listening to it a lot more often lately. The soon to be husband of one of my nieces works for him oddly enough.

    What do you do?

    It's official. According to the AISC I'm a black mark on the modern steel fabrication industry. I think I'll frame it and have it hung in my office if I ever get back to work. Was asked to contribute to a paper/pamphlet geared toward helping engineers, project managers, project coordinators...

    Guy on right looks like he's had something shoved up his ass, and it's still there. Nobody looks like that and are considered "right".

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    The reason many office workers here get tested is "partnership" which is what most shops want to be partnered with their end client. Just like we were a partner to Exxon, they require all their suppliers/shops to be tested and such but it comes with a huge bonus. We got direct tie into their...

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    Different in the world I work in. You get a pre hire drug test. At a minimum it's a piss and hair test. Depending on the job and where you will be working some will also draw blood. They also do a breathalyzer which I have never understood. But they do a random breathalyzer after lunch on some...

    Camping/Backpacking

    I used to backpack and camp quite a lot. Last real backpacking trip was the Teton crest trail of about 45 miles over several days. A lot of my equipment is geared more towards hunting as well so not really the ultra light gram weenie stuff. I normally save weight just in the convenience type...

    The Best and Worst States in the Union: Many Metrics

    In the south a lot of whites do not go to public school. Either private or private/catholic school which skews the results of public education. In Baton Rouge the catholic schools are semi public, they get to ride public school buses but they attend a private school paid for by them and get to...

    Most Hated Man in America

    I think the prescription has to state if generic is OK. I know I had to get another prescription written recently because it didn't specifically state generic OK. Same exact medicine, but the non generic has a patent to inject it 3 days a week as opposed to the generic of 7 days a week.

    Most Hated Man in America

    Had a deal in the news a while back about the price of an epipen and a lady couldn't afford it for her kids and the story showed up over a week several times. Little while later they ran a story that the price of the generic pen was a fraction for the same thing, but doctors were too lazy to...

    She got the Rachel Madcow hairdo now. I fail to see the attraction for paying people that much when they just read what someone else has prepared.
