Smiling Jack posted:Yeah no poo poo but hearing "this man needs to run a 800 calorie a day deficit to maintain weight" from an actual scientific study is still kinda shocking It really does remind me of all of the heroin/fentanyl stuff right now. Seems like the only way to not be fat is to not get fat in the first place and the only way to not be an addict is to not start using in the first place. Sort of the same reason I generally turn down the heavy-duty painkillers if everything's still bearable, just in case.

Was checking the work address book for someone's phone number and some contractor is listing his job title as "Supr 1337 h@x0r". I want to reach through my monitor and grab him by the throat. I think that's pretty Dad.

Buca di Bepis posted:I can never get my cast iron steaks to come out right https://youtu.be/7QmCVjSoY_w I season the hell out of it, sear it, then the key is getting the oven timing right to pull the steak out at 140-145. It seems that a strip steak takes longer to cook than a ribeye, so the video's 4 minutes in the oven is likely right for a ribeye, but more needed for a typical strip steak. I personally use Lodge's ridged pan for steaks. Using my BBQ grill is obviously preferable though, but gently caress, the timing really does depend on the steak thickness.

Y'all need to see the PresidentialTrump twitter feed. Someone takes his tweets, adds coherency when possible, and they drat near sound normal. https://twitter.com/MatureTrumpTwts/status/821702703860645888 It's kinda creepy.

Quick carchat story, coworker bought a Ford F-150 about a couple years ago, drove it home, and it completely died the next day. Dead transmission. Someone in the factory didn't connect a transmission line or something and all of the transmission fluid came out and the transmission basically ate itself to death. Ford fixed it and extended his bumper-to-bumper warranty a few years, but that's the craziest new car story I've heard. He now drives a PT Cruiser because of the better gas mileage to/from work. Edit: Rad Lieutenant posted:Home ownership is cool and good The best is buying a move-in ready, but slightly neglected house that's had a low-level groverjob on it. Fixing random problems is actually a lot of fun in a strange way. facialimpediment fucked around with this message at 04:30 on Feb 28, 2017 |

I get the feeling that I'm going to watch that Rick and Morty episode multiple times and STILL not catch all the jokes and poo poo in there. There's even a REALLY subversive statement in there and I had to rewind the part with closed captions on to make sure I heard what I heard. It's also really weird that they censor dick and gently caress, but not poo poo.

Two Finger posted:i mean it was a few years ago now, like hell must have been 2006 or 2007 but i dropped about 500 on a 5.1 system which i still use to this day, makes good sound and loud as hell with a kickass sub Around that time, I also got a 5.1 Home Theatre in-a-box and then bought better speaker wire because what was included was lovely 18-gauge. It was nice to get everything together, receiver, speakers, and subwoofer together all for around $400. Unless you're turbopicky, or already have a receiver, it's a serious option for a $500 budget and amazon has a few to pick from.

Had a dream that an exterior-type outdoor faucet (that you would connect a garden hose to) blew in one of the rooms of my mom's house when I was trying to fix it. Woke up, realized how insane that was, but my homeowner dadbrain wouldn't shut up about fixing the problem. Should I go to Lowes, or Home Depot? Do I need a specialty plumbing shop for that part? Should I bring in a picture of the faucet with measuring tape showing the diameter? Where's the master shutoff for the water inside the house? Is there an exterior water shutoff? Will my mother/brother need to come over while they wait to get that fixed? How expensive is it going to be? Is that plumbing contractor I know available for emergency work? It never occurred to me until just now that the drywall might get soaked and could use replacing.

Y'all are missing that this was a dream and only grover would put an outdoor spigot/faucet on the inside of the house. That dream I had just triggered all of the I MUST FIX IT I MUST FIX IT OH GOD THERE COULD BE WATER EVERYWHERE impulses and once those start, good luck getting back to sleep. Unless there's some way to take pictures of dreams, that'd be rad as hell. In realdad world, I'm super-pumped to sharpen my rotary lawnmower over the weekend. Got the instructions and everything, just need to find a brick-and-mortar place that has lapping fluid (looking like an auto parts store trip).

The temporary promotion putting me into middle management just ended, but they still dont have anyone else yet. Nobody else wants the temp promotion. I'm still doing the exact same job without the pay. As a boss and as a lineworker, I have to tell myself to suck my dick from the back.

On the subject of mowing lawns, I go nuts when I can't mow on Saturdays due to rain, but this dude takes that to a whole new level. https://twitter.com/DavidNelsonNews/status/871343143597355008 I checked and that newspaper is Not The Canadian Onion. quote:Cecilia Wessels snapped the picture of her husband, Theunis, on Friday evening as the twister passed near their home in Three Hills. I will never, ever be able to rise to that level of dad.

Apologies for that derail.Kuroyama posted:92 degrees today. 5 minutes outside and I was dripping with sweat. Didn't help I was in a suit for those 5 minutes. It was 95 and sunny out yesterday, which was a really lovely time to find out my car is only blowing out cold air from one side. That "Max A/C" button is a lying motherfucker when you're low on refrigerant. Rapidly approaching the time of year when mowing the lawn needs to be done pre-shower instead of post-shower.

Woof Blitzer posted:Anybody ever written a fed resume before? Are you in the government already and/or is the posting on USAJOBS? The bottom line is to tailor your resume to the job announcement. Don't submit a generic resume that you sent elsewhere, custom-make one tailored to the job position. If you're inside the government already or if it's like what I'm used to, if you get a word limit, stretch that poo poo to the word limit. My understanding (which could be wrong, there are shitloads of rumors) is that every resume gets read by some no-namer at OPM, just to see if your qualifications hit the necessary requirements for the position. If the position needs A, B, C and you cited in your resume A, B, and C, congrats, you make it through the first cut from thousands of resumes down to hundreds. Also, if the requirements say "must upload a picture of applicant loving a horse" and you don't upload the horsefucking, you get autorejected, even if you mentioned being a master horsefucker in the resume. OPM doesn't give a poo poo, they're just looking for an excuse to not read the resume and insufficient documentation is their easy out. Then, the pile of resumes gets into the hands of the poor bastard that actually knows what the job is about, and they sort it down and try to find a natural "cut" line based on a scoring structure. For instance, if a criterion is based on expertise in loving, you get 9 for being married, 6 for a steady relationship, 3 if you dabbled one time on a cruise, etc. If done right, there will be piles of resume scores in the 30s, 40s, 70s, and 80s, the cut line is set at a nice 69, and everyone above that gets the interview call. Lots and lots of screens, all dependent on how well the resume is written to the job announcement.

Godholio posted:Part of the problem is that very few people actually know how USAjobs screens anything, and there's so much conflicting information out there it's all completely worthless. Yep. The worst is that after the resume upload, you get asked a bunch of questions about your expertise in whatever. There's apparently a huge problem with people just maxing out their answers, being completely full of poo poo, then getting the interview specifically because they maxed out their answers. It's more of a problem for promotions and internal stuff where bullshitters and liars get promoted, while truthful people have more of a hurdle. Supposedly, the time to bust someone about lying on a questionnaire or resume is during the interview process, which is great solace to the person that got bumped from the interview due to the lying rear end in a top hat.

Since this came up earlier, there's an official OPM training class on federal resumes coming up. I have absolutely no idea how good this training actually will be, but there's a session online on October 18th, 2017 at 11AM EST - 12:30PM EST. It's an official OPM virtual presentation and they're going to walk through a job announcement and tailoring your resume to it. I was given the link https://writingyourfederalresumedetroitfeb.eventbrite.com which redirects to https://www.eventbrite.com/e/writing-your-federal-resume-detroit-feb-morning-tickets-37241488294 The OPM Wizard blessed sending that poo poo out to "friends, family, community partners, and dead gay forums" so it has been cleared. Registration is required so they know where to find you and your guns.  Edit: gently caress running, lift stuff facialimpediment fucked around with this message at 21:04 on Oct 12, 2017 |

Nostalgia4Dogges posted:Is the Costco gas line ever not an insane mess? I guess if you have a big car you might save more than $2 waiting in like for 15 mins with A/C blasting Weekends are almost always a lost cause, you mostly have to stick to weekdays or off-hours. I've had some luck with lunchtime runs. Around this area, premium tends to run $3.75 and Costco always has it for $2.99 or less, so I'll accept the long wait.

ElMaligno posted:So for the same and above square footage I might be paying a lil more per month if you add utilities to the mix. ofc I would be paying for the house for a lit longer. A lot of it is going to depend on how much money you have on-hand ready to go for closing costs / down payment and what kind of reasonably affordable houses are available in your area. Also, how your local market generally handles those closing costs (does the seller pay, does the buyer pay, is there a split, etc). It's absolutely true that rent money gets "wasted" instead of building equity in a house, but you're also not generally dealing with the costs associated with appliance poo poo breaking all the time in a place you can't quickly move from. Home inspectors don't catch everything and inevitably some major appliance or structural aspect will take a poo poo in the first few months of owning the house, right when you're at your cash-poorest from all the initial costs. Don't forget that a lot of places are due for a recession soon, so a house might shortly end up only being worth 80% of what you paid for it. Or, it could go up up up! Rent if you're not too sure about the future. Buy if you're reasonably sure and you have a chunk of money ready.
