When I worked for the US Forest Service the joke was the best applicant was a black handicapped woman who was also a veteran. We had a lady come give a talk to about 100 people who was black and handicapped. During the question and answer part I asked if she was a veteran. Apparently everyone...

Not really, a true rat hole is flush with the flange. That rat hole won't pass AWS code and doesn't confirm to AISC specs either. Meaning it's there for show.

Generic ones are. But box art appeals to kids.

That's why you strip naked and do tick checks if you have female companions with you. That was always the joke when I went to forestry school. Guess it worked, been with the same woman for almost 20 years now. Never did find any ticks but lots of other interesting "stuff" lol.

It will, but if the head is 4" wide you can't cut on the inside of a beam any closer than 2". This cut is the most common cut on a beam. If the dept of that cut is less than about 2-1/2 to 3" deep it won't make that cut because the the head gets in the way. It has to be a straight cut not...

Went to a demonstration where they ran a machine similar to the first one in the video. Use for structural shapes like beams, tubing (like the video), pipes, angles, channels etc... There were a lot of ohh and ahhh types there. I was the only person who can draw anything so I was drafted to...

Glad I'm not going. Game sounds like a cluster fuck already. Non season ticket holders. Sales are "best available" and apparently the parking passes aren't valid either. The TAF (they actually own most of Tiger Stadium) is wanting to know what their cut is lol. Sounds like a lot of people are...

At first USC said no way from what I read it had to be on a neutral site like in Charlotte. Well it's hard to come up with a neutral field in a matter of days notice. Betting Spurrier makes LSU wear thier away jerseys like has done before. In the short time it became official I got...

I did some of the desulfurization units. They started off at $1 billion each and apparently they have a short life span as they are starting the rotation to replace them now. I assume they will be cheaper this round since they are a "proven" tech on this scale and they won't require the labor to...

Nothing beats eliminating the Yankees at Yankee land.

Dunno, what is it in Europe? Currently diesel is about $0.15 more per gallon than gas here in the US. Bought gas today for $1.85 and diesel was $2.00/gallon.

My parents were almost double the comp price they were given and the appraisal. Apparently they ONLY go off the house or did. They had a 40x100' finished and air conditioned shop. The lady who bought it for her sister and her husband paid with a check at 100% of askig price. I think the family...

Bluestain lumber obviously $25/bdft. The fungus that adds value lol.

First episode 46 years ago today.

I need the meme. 40 uniforms and 0 national titles.

I think it's dependant on location. Each store/franchise will only do 1/2 the menu.

I never have, but mentioned above some guys at work just take it. One guy lost all his money at the casino and just got another check to cover it lol.

There's a mippo thread here I think about the famous people you ran into.

I wish I had my medical straightened out. Got the opporunity to buy into a group buying a failed business. He went out of business for the exact same reason I told him he would go out of business 10 years ago. Equipment is priced right and pretty state of the art and it's not movable. He just...

I've never worked anywhere that really kept up with it. You got 2 weeks off for a vacation and a lot of guys would just take an extra check. If you wanted off you just took off and the check never changed. The issue isn't really getting paid for time off. But if someone took 4 weeks off at...

They have continuous blood sugar monitors now. You instert a little deal under your skin and change it weekly. It's not very big like an RFI chip. Then if you are in range the machine monitors your blood sugar continuously and charts it etc...Why they haven't tied this in with the insulin pump I...

I've worked with a few people who just like to work, not actually accomplish anything. My last boss and I were on the same page. During my interview he said "We work hard so we can play hard". Take Fridays off if you had got stuff done. Work real long hours during a turnaround and then take a...

Shit dude I had to cross the I10 bridge in Baton Rouge on the river every day. 30 minutes to go 2 miles. I could see BR from my office and the bridge. Lots of days it started backing up at noon. Only spot I10 from CA to FL goes to one lane is coming off that bridge.

Friend went to the Saints game tonight. He's going to get home from the dome about time he has to turn around to go back to work right there lol.

Read earlier they were expecting part of I-70 (??) to wash completely away.

Last week the AP had an article where they figured how many people had died from the pollution to the exact number. Ok then.

I'm not pointing fingers at anyone. Just seemed a lot of negatives about work lately in here. I bitch a lot too, but it's just bitching. Bitch enough and I get tired of it and move on like I did the last job. I take a lot of pride in getting "stuff" done. I take a lot of pride and show people...

I'm lucky my mom doesn't take shit from nobody and never stopped pestering. When I was diagnosed with diabetes nobody really knew anything. She didn't stop looking for better "answers" than just stuff a lot of food in a 5 year old which was their advice. We wound up at Tulane and then onto the...

I knew I was screwed up, but it really hit home when I sat down and listed all the stuff that I've had happen in the last year to tell the doctors this week. Odd stuff. I lost all the hair on both legs but only one side - the outside of both lower legs. My heartrate has always been high...

Diabetics aren't supposed to drink alcohol for a variety of reasons. One being it's raises your blood sugar quickly and a LOT. My friend worked in the ER as a nurse in the french quarter for years. At mardi gras they would bring in diabetics with a blood sugar of 1600. A normaly person is 70-120...

You're doing it wrong.

LSU Defense caught more balls than LSU's wide receivers. 3 vs. 2. I've seen LSU be pretty run oriented for a long time, but nothing like this. With 4 complete passes last night they are still 9th in the country for yards per play.

Batter and fry it this time.

I eat junk food for breakfast. If I have to eat fast food breakfast I eay popeyes bisquits, McDonalds hotcakes, or a krispy kreme donuts.

His go fundme (set up by someone else while he was still out of it at the hospital) was up to $400k early this morning. Big balls indeed.

Can you say one dimensional. LSU threw the ball more in the first half than I've seen them throw in several years. 4 completions, none in the second half with zero passing yards in the second half. Shit is not going to fly when they meet a real team.

Fournette has more rushing yardage than 91 other FBS teams alone.
