Oh but now I’m gonna!

Funnily enough, that’s a type of butter pronounced with a hard g.

Yeah, I mean it isn’t j raphical interchange format.

Oh come on, this is funny. Don’t downvote humor you old farts. I’m old enough to remember when we got internet. I was 14 and had to beg mom to let us use the free AOL trial.

Once that month was up, we were hooked faster than if we had visited a Chinese opium den in the 1800s.

Edit: wow I sure fucked up that first draft. I was 14, not 24.

I appreciate that, and I think I’m almost there. But I really like being self-reliant for things within my abilities. This may very well fall outside of it, and in that case I am happy to call a pro. I’m just trying to figure out what the hell I’m facing.

Luckily they’re (mostly) self sufficient.

Oh yeah, we can see everything in the pasture from the back deck of the house. The 6 month.old calf tries to play with the sheep, but they don’t understand why this giant is chasing them.

Sheep are, in my experience, the dumbest livestock around. The will shove their head through fence openings to eat the exact same grass on their side, get stuck, and then just bleat to be rescued. They are coyote unaware, and will stare at them instead of running away to the barn. They fall in ponds and creeks and can’t get back out. Get tangled up in blackberry vines and get stuck.

Wild sheep are probably smart in order to survive, but domestication has removed all semblance of cleverness.

I haven’t, no. The name of this place is (or reasonably should be) Good Enough Farms.

Most of the things are pretty easy. The sheep are self-sufficient most of the time, unless they’re lambing or getting stuck in a fence. The are the dumbest mulotherfuckers around. Same with the cow, but since she’s nursing, I supplement with alfalfa pellets. Other than her and the chickens, there isn’t a whole lot to do but manage the nonsense from afar.

Well enough, I’m always injured in one way or another but the work still needs to be done. I realized after this happened the chicken feed needed to be replenished, as did the alfalfa pellets for the cows. So that was neat, carrying the feed sacks where they needed to go like a decrepit old man.

I bent over this morning to scoop out some feed for the chickens and threw out my lower back.

So, not enough it seems.

I can’t tell if you’re serious, or trolling at a different level.

I like it, either way.

You’re not misreading. It was an attempt at commentary on the current state of the job market, specifically at fintechs. This is not the same job market from even just a couple years ago, at least iny experience of it. I realize two different people within the same subset of the market can have markedly different experiences . But for me, I can’t even get someone to talk to me beyond a couple of recruiter contacts which went nowhere once the hiring manager got involved.

I’m not looking for a better job necessarily, just a different one. I’m in a volatile industry which is beset by a reliance on utilization percentage to justify continued employment. There is a level of constant anxiety to every aspect of the job and it’s driving me slowly insane. Or maybe not slowly.

I love everything about the way this written.

Kudos, sir.

This is very interesting. As someone who is looking to move his family out of this shit hole but still has a few years, I hadn’t looked too closely into the tax implications yet. My (clearly incorrect) understanding that was in a country with a tax treaty with the US, this only mattered if it was foreign sourced income.

Thanks for this

This is the answer.

It’s not AI, it’s a super searcher. Once you ask it to start making decisions, or choices for you, is when you’ve lost the plot. I use it like that, just as a tool because it can aggregate disparate data much faster than me alone. I spend the time saved checking what it tells me, but I’ve found quite useful in limited situations with solid guardrails.

I feel for you, and I hope this works out for you in the end. I’m in the private sector, and have been actively searching and applying for a year, and I’ve spoken to two recruiters. I’m pretty well qualified for the roles I’ve been applying to, but it’s a fairly niche skill set so it’s been maybe 70-80 applications over the course of the past year.

I’ve never been happier to have been out of the government; I left a few years ago.

I’ve had this same issue, and tried lots of things. Bar Keeper’s friend, that orange paste crap they sell, all of these are abrasive and scratch the surface of the ceramic, allowing the stains to get worse.

The answer is two-fold. To clean it, fill the sink with very hot water, like near boiling. Then, mix in some powdered oxi clean and let sit for 15ish minutes. You will be amazed when you drain the sink how clean it is.

The second step is to reseal the sink with a commerical product, I found several on Amazon. This will prevent it from happening again, but not as well as when the sink was new. I haven’t found any products that reseal it quite as well as the factory sealant.

Hope this helps you.

Speaking of which:

This should result in a Brady-Giglio impairment for the cop since it happened in open court. He should be done as a cop.
