    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    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.

    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.

    Gold: Panning, Prospecting, Treasure Hunting

    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.

    Desktop Computers

    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.

    Desktop Computers

    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.

    Windows 10

    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.

    The Fast Food Thread

    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...

    The "Shit I just bought" thread

    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?

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    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.

    What do you do?

    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...

    What do you do?

    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...

    What do you do?

    I went to SFA when it was just coming into it's own for wildlife and not just forestry. Got a double major BS in Forest Management and Wildlife Management with a minor in biology. A&M isn't real happy that the wildlife division for their part of the state is now run by a SFA grad for the first...

    What do you do?

    Yup that would be a long volunteer. But people in school used to do summer deals up in that neck of the woods working for near minimum wage to have it on their resume. For National Park Service, US Forest Service, US Fish and Wildlife Service and such. But if you need them longer than a summer...

    If you go back to TX let me know. I have some connections in TXPW, the new head of the wildlife arm was my college roomate and still current hunting partner. Another is one of the fisheries guys at A&M who is a Dr. and also works in one of the cooperative fisheries deals with TXPW. Sounds...

    Finished it tonight. It was Ok. They did take some liberties as mentioned in the time line. The reason Barry Seal got involved with the DEA is they seized him and cocaine he was bringing and he was going to testify to make that go away etc...The DEA "liquidated" or sold his coke to fund more...

    What do you do?

    Is a fisheries degree like a wildlife degree in that you compete with people willing to do the job for free (IE volunteers) when you have a bachelors degree? A lot of field work in wildlife winds up being sucked up by part time volunteers because it's "cool" and supervised by someone with a...

    The killer of Barry Seal, the ex CIA/smuggler etc...died in Angola prison last week. I still remember it even tho I was only 15. It was huge news in town. Gunned down at the Salvation army on the biggest road in town.

    It's still up 7% in just 4 days. I'm not guessin which direction it's going. Just pointing out if you wanted to buy energy stocks when they are low you may have waited too late. A good portion of the dump today was related to OPEC saying they weren't changing anything when most of the OPEC...

    Les Miles went to the hospital and was released. The first story I read had a comment that said ESPN is reporting Les Miles passed away. The next comment was spot on. Les Miles lives only because he doesn't believe in passing.
