More like try driving in London. It's exactly that except but with added chaos since the roads aren't a grid.

as more and more people have moved to the dc area and its become hilariously congested on the few highways we have, id say 40% of drivers now use highway on-ramp merge lanes as passing lanes during rush hour so now no one lets anyone in because you always have to assume theyre some loving rear end in a top hat trying to get ahead instead of a legitimate person entering the highway often i see people driving on the shoulder these days as well

some are okay and have actually managed to setup meetings for me with decent companies that if i'd applied independently i probably wouldn't have got, but the majority are just "we have <unspecified> number of roles here, give me your number so i can spend 15 minutes talking about my firm and another 15 minutes talking about some roles which are not at all suited for you"

Notorious b.s.d. posted:helicopters for what? The entire Pacific Northwest coast is going to be totally isolated because every road and power line running across the coast range will be severed by a major earthquake. They'll need helicopters to bring in food and water and/or evacuate the survivors west of the coast range.

ive been getting an unusually high volume of recruiter direct emails recently (7 today and 2-3/day for the last couple weeks, typically more like 2-3/week), this one in particular stuck out as hilarious:quote:[...] I wanted to see if you were interested in an Architect Level Ruby role at Man Crates. You have probably heard of them before or maybe you saw Shaq open a Man Crate on TV. They are using Rails on the backend! going by the website they mainly focus on taking existing stuff and increasing the price by 90%

OSSPAC estimates that in the I-5 corridor it will take between one and three months after the earthquake to restore electricity, a month to a year to restore drinking water and sewer service, six months to a year to restore major highways, and eighteen months to restore health-care facilities. On the coast, those numbers go up. Whoever chooses or has no choice but to stay there will spend three to six months without electricity, one to three years without drinking water and sewage systems, and three or more years without hospitals. Those estimates do not apply to the tsunami-inundation zone, which will remain all but uninhabitable for years.
