gently caress 2015? The axe came down today on the restructuring announced nearly two months ago. 66% of my team got a meeting invite for later today. I did not get the invite. Its kinda looking like I won't be laid off, but I dunno how we are going to continue supporting all these projects with a third of the manpower. It sure as hell isn't going to be a productive week anymore.

The Locator posted:There are plenty of first-rate trauma centers all over the US, so I guess it just depends on what sort of trauma she wants to learn about and deal with. For shooty/stabby stuff the Baltimore area would be pretty good, but of course you live in shooty/stabby land. The trauma centers in Phoenix are very busy, but more weighted to traffic accidents, and work injuries, although there are a fair number of fight/shooty/stabby stuff injuries too. Not sure if we could handle san diego weather, where we live we have 242 days of rain in a good year. couple of years ago we had 98 days of rain straight

Does anybody know about isolation transformers for boats? A friend of my dad's isolation transformer went out on his boat, and now he doesn't have power. He tried to get a replacement but apparently the only offices the company has is in Wisconsin and New Zealand. This does him no good as he is moored in Hawaii. He has a Mastervolt Mass GI 3.5 (Product code: 88000355). Is there anyone who makes an equivalent to this? Searching around the internet I see a bunch of isolation transformers but none that would work on a 48' yacht. This mastervolt one looks like it's built specifically for this application. If I can't find an equivalent product that's easier to source, I'll probably just get the mastervolt shipped to him or something.

Sitting at the dmv:  "I just locked myself out of my computer ha! I set up a new password then it locked me out before I remembered what it was!"  Also since my last ID was from Minnesota and I lost it there is a 72hr wait before my IA license goes into effect so I can't get my motorcycle endorsement until tues.  so I can't ride this to school

Is it kosher to drive my car with the MAF unplugged a couple miles to the parts store? It dies with the sensor plugged in when I touch the throttle, and the CEL is on.

I just realized my Bricklin thread got archived. Bummer. How fast do those things get archived anyway? I don't really have an update for it, other than it's still sitting in the garage as I figure out next steps. I ran into some hiccups with work and money has been super tight, so car projects have been on hold. In other news, years ago I came up with an idea for an automotive based TV show and recently started developing it with a producer friend. A week after I finished the treatment we somehow got an agent interested in the project and started shopping around to production companies, of which 4 want to sign on to produce. Now I have two hosts attached and we start pitching to networks any day now. It's pretty exciting. I just put together a second concept which will be going through the same process as well. I've started meeting some professional drivers through various connections and ideas have been kicking around, so I'm excited for what the future brings. Really I just want money to finish my Bricklin. I've started thinking about locating an AMC 401 for the Brick and using the LS engine and Magnum in a different project. I'll figure that out once I start making money again.

Our beloved moderator can confirm this, but I'm pretty sure it's exactly 90 days. I went to update one of my threads where the last post was something like May 15, and I tried to update it on August 15 and it got archived the day before due to 31 days in July. Just start a new one with a link to the old one when you have news. Enourmo posted:Is it kosher to drive my car with the MAF unplugged a couple miles to the parts store? It dies with the sensor plugged in when I touch the throttle, and the CEL is on. Should be fine, most cars have some sort of open-loop mode for exactly that reason. Just be gentle in case you're running rich or lean so you don't blow something. CharlesM posted:So soon I'll be able to answer question 11 in the Sheep Game your TV show? That's awesome!

Its a trauma center that gets people flown in from alaska/montana/idaho/oregon that seems to be always busy. Our weather is probably pretty close to what you are used to, and while the cost of living here keeps going up, I'm sure its still well below norway. I think someone else mentioned being in SF for work. I am here till the 25th with gently caress all to do after I leave the office and nothing really planned for the weekend if anything is going on. I can't wait till this dreamforce bullshit is over, I have no idea how I managed to end up in this city while its happening for unrelated reasons 2 years in a row.

For the record, it's "Johns Hopkins" hospital and it's one of the highest regarded research hospitals in the world. So if she can get in there, it's well worth living in lovely Baltimore. It's like the Mayo Clinic but on the east coast. Which also means a shorter flight back to Euroville to visit relatives/etc.

A friend of mine is sitting through an A+ cert class right now since his work paid for him to do it since they want all their techs A+ certified. He has been writing nuggets of wisdom all week that the instructor is giving the class. I'm pretty sure his instructor wrote the screenplay for hackers. Enjoy: https://twitter.com/aplusblowhard

I'm actually pretty sure it is really good because I've heard of it, though maybe they just went there in the wire or homicide.
