You just have to get through during off hours. I worked with a guy in livermore who came up and around from turlock every day. If he left at 430, he would get in to work around 530. But if he left at 5, it would be 630 minimum, typically more like 7 or 730. I can’t imagine if he tried to get through during actual peak traffic. Homie would almost always leave early on Fridays and we didn’t blame him because it’d take him 3 hours to get home otherwise.
Idk if I can agree. Anyone who hangs out with Amy schumer and nick swardson has to be pretty shit, right? Those two are the poster children for smarmy white affluenza.
Idk man remember when that ozone hole was supposed to kill us all but we started fixing it in like 10 years? How about when we decided plastic would choke the oceans to death only to find that microbes are busily learning how to break down all those man made forever polymers? Member those? Meeeember?
Have you considered that humanity does not actually have enough data to know what is and is not a “safe climate zone”?
How long, in years, did the climate take to “recover” from siberian traps eruptions? How about the dinosaur killing asteroid/deccan traps episode? What was more damaging to the environment, particulate in the air or the release of volcanic gasses?
The planet has been through multiple unimaginable apocalypses. It will survive humanity just fine. And if it doesn’t? Im sure something will evolve to take our place. Terraforming is well beyond our means as a species, intentional or not.
I just realized the other day that one of the updates on my Chromebook automatically installed something called “NotebookLM” on my app bar. Never asked for it. Never even looked at apps on my Chromebook before. But it’s there now, and it super secret bloodswap pinky swares it won’t steal my ideas or writing. What an odd thing to say on first open.
Just got rid of my fuel sipping crossover and went full electric and boy is it nice. A week so far and I just passed 69% (nice). Im going to be really pleased if I can get two weeks out of one charge. And the price to recharge? Less than $20 usd. About half of my weekly 10 gallons of 81 unleaded.
Anybody have a mirror of the original? OP got censored
Had a job interview at their Ames facility back in December. It was an interesting opportunity, and it required a LOT of sacrifices in terms of commute and workload, but I could’ve made it work. Then they tried to pull the “Could we interest you in a contractor position?” switcheroo at the end of the hiring process and I noped the fuck out. The next week, Trump announced he was cutting all contractor jobs and freezing new hires for the agency.
Lmfaoooo
Guess the burnout is real. I couldn’t believe how much of a dump the place was honestly. Shit is being held together with duct tape, zip ties, and free veteran labor.
Natural diamonds are quite shit for industrial use. Industry likes uniformity, and natural diamonds have irregularities and flaws that do not benefit them in comparison to synthetic diamonds.

Oh no, the privilege i was never going to have anyway! Why would you take that from me?!
Fuckin who?
Lmfaoooo
As fucking awful and dystopian as this shit is, I know one particular motherfucker who is about to get his shit rocked administration style.
Welder I worked with at the coast guard was the laziest, most disgusting individual I have ever had the misfortune of meeting. He would regularly take 45+ minute “bathroom breaks” where he would sit in the stall on the phone with his wife or even straight up go to sleep sitting on the toilet. On the few occasions he actually needed to go, he would STILL TALK ON THE PHONE TO HIS WIFE.
WHAT THE ACTUAL GROWN UP FUCK.
I cannot fucking fathom a universe in which it is ever permissible to chitchat on the phone at work with your spouse while taking a shit. Never have I seen such little class or dignity in a professional setting. I asked my super about it and he said they’ve tried talking to him about it and he just does not see any problem with his behavior. Any other industry would get rid of him in a fucking heartbeat but government was always so scared of any kind of discrimination or cultural insensitivity complaint that they never addressed it. Now?
Now that guy is super fucked and it couldn’t have happened to a bigger piece of shit.
Lmaoo
The original intent of the stop was a headlight violation.
The problem with that is that it wasn’t raining, invalidating the reason for the stop.
From that point forward, the interaction should have immediately stopped. Without PC for the headlight violation, the police had no authority to demand ID. Since they couldn’t demand ID, they didn’t have a reason to arrest. That invalidates the resisting charge.
Start to finish this was a crazy interaction and I hope every cop involved has a very happy get lynched in front of their families. :)
It’s very hard to tell with this guy, probably because he’s an engineer first and the owner second. I grew up around a bunch of gas and electrical engineers, so it’s not too terrible for me. Some of the other guys in the shop very much struggle with communicating with him though, which is understandable if you don’t speak engineer.
Sometimes I throw out a tooling suggestion and he shoots it down immediately. Today, I pitched getting a Darex auto tool sharpener and he’s all aboard as soon as I told him the local coast guard base had one. I never really know how he’s going to react to things lol
Total bore is a little over 4.5, so I had a ton of material left to correct the hole. Biggest struggle was keeping the tool pressure low so the drill didn’t spin in the tailstock. Morse taper is all chewed up, which was a nasty little surprise for me. Got’r’done tho
Next trick: figure out how to mount a 2.5 inch boring bar on a turret with only a 1.25 ledge on it. Im trying to talk the owner into fabbing a holder in house.
Also we found out the morse taper in the tail stock is all chewed up so we’re going to look for a morse reamer to correct the tailstock.
This job is certainly tightening up my machinist chops. Im already looking forward to tig work where my tolerance is like +/- .030 lmaoo
From when we discovered the ozone hole to banning hairspray and shit was about 10 years.
Also, I didn’t say we decided the pacific trash hole was bad. I said we decided it would kill all the life in the ocean, and that was hilariously wrong.
Have you taken a reading comprehension course in the last 10 or 15 years?
