Not as much as it should be and it's around 120 per tailored egyptian cotton buttonup w/monogrammed cuff. My runner up because denim wasn't available

the labor is nothing in thailand and getting a suit made in bangkok is a pretty easy thing.

some of them are a cheap scam and the suits are just glued together. If you get a tuk tuk early in the morning, they'll offer you tours where they take you to a bunch of tailors, massage places, restaurants etc that all give them a gas voucher for doing it.

The nicer ones are fine though. And if you ask nicely they'll mail you steroids with your suits, so i hear. but you're loving with federals law there so best of luck.

in India, my buddy went to the best suit place in town. he told them he'd drop 1k bucks if they could make him three suits by the time his flight left in the morning. They made him three suits, five shirts for 1k. We went back there at like six for a fitting, then they delivered it to my place in 7 in the morning. it was nuts.

I read that in some Neal Stephenson novel from the nineties with the added portion of them fedex'ing your suit to you next day delivery or something.

Niners, since I was a small child. I now live in soon-to-be-former Raiders territory and I generally watch their games too, but I can't honestly claim to have switched.

I generally like to watch all the football though (I do fantasy) and usually root for the underdogs except when they're the niners. Also gently caress dallas and seattle and the pats forever.

The dude who left is a friend of a friend and I'm networking through him as well. Position is like 50:50 what-I-do:Database Management. I've been poking around COBOL the last couple of weeks in general but now it's go time.

How strong are you on just the basic poo poo with databases? Like, you can figure out how to query and build stuff as you go if need be, but just knowing the theory behind why everything works and is usually set up in a particular fashion is the most important part in my opinion. If you're beyond that point ignore this obviously. Also learn to love backups even if you'll hopefully never need them.

As for AC chat, in Florida if you keep your air at like 78 or above, you will very quickly get nasty mold growing everywhere. In Panama, no one has central AC. Each room has its own portable unit that is off during the day and only on when you are in the room. They are super powerful too and can cool a room real fast.

By being located in an area where mold isn't a problem. Species of fungus, for whatever reasons, are highly isolated geographically, even if environments are similar. Also, most of the houses and buildings in Panama were built to either not have AC, or to withstand prolonged periods of no AC due to a poor power grid (in some parts of the country at least). Everything in Florida has been built with the idea that AC is running 24/7. Some of the older houses that were built pre-AC and still exist are fine without the AC. But things like drywall are basically a nesting ground for mold. A lot of houses built pre-AC don't have the materials that are susceptible to mold, with the exception of wood, which is usually treated or isolated in a way so the mold contamination is minimal.

This makes sense - I live in New Orleans and it seems like the entire universe is out to eat your house, but that may be mostly drywall.
