    I don't have porch pirates. All my deliveres go to the closest UPS store and they accept and store it and then give them to me all at once. Very few people know how to open the bump gate I have on the property and the few that have tried normally lose a mirror or a lot of body damage when the...

    I live in an area where the old people watch most of the comings and goings. Before the internet made it big and smarphones I was talking to my great aunt that lived nearby and she was saying when an ambulance goes by or firetruck the old people call down the road one at a time to see where it...

    Job Hunting

    I was asked to take a similar type test once. I sometimes do contracts for a year. Get them fixed up and get a bonus and move on. It went through an agency that was oriented around engineering. I got up and walked out. The guy I was seeing came running down the hall to the elevator saying "you...

    I will spoiler my typically long deal on this topic. Going trades does not mean you are stuck in the attic in 100+ heat your carerr. The best managers and such in the industry have at least some shop or field background for a short time.

    Be interesting to know what percentage of deposists are not insured. May not be me, but above zero possibility that it may be the company you work for going off the reports when SVB went under and companies were running around to make payroll.

    It's under control. If the government says there isn't a problem, not systemic, and says it loud enough and long enough there's obviously not a problem.

    Jerry Springer dies aged 79

    Never watched him. Typical politican I guess. I didn't know he was the mayor of Cincinati and became mayor after he hired a hooker and used a check. Some smarts right there. Of course wiki says he was mayor for 2 years with no explanation of why such a short term. Maybe they only have 2 year...

    Right now is a bad time to be buying silver. Some rededitors are trying to short squeeze the comex. That's not going to happen as the smallest futures you can buy is 100oz. Very few are going to take delivery of 100oz of silver, or $125k of silver. Ampex had a video on the futility of the...

    Use the same support on my truck for the kayak. Normally just back down a dirt road that ends into the lake, just leave the truck there while fishing. If I get lucky I don't ever touch the water, not that it matters. Bed is a little shorter since I have a toolbox. Just put a flag on the back of...
