Across the street neighbors regularly put big boxes out that invariably get blown everywhere due to being a high wind area.

After Christmas, they did it again. So I went and used packing tape to tape all the boxes together and then taped the boxes to their recycling bin.

FWIW, I wear out blades breaking cardboard boxes down.

SO ... An old thread in the concealed carry, or other place in the forum popped in to me brain pan today. I believe the question was.

What to do with your gun when using a public restroom, while CCW.

I realized the answer, while may piss some off, is a simple one.


WEAR MEN'S UNDERWEAR.

Not this unisex, zero flap opening shit, for the gender confused, yet DNA verified male. That has you fiddle fucking around trying to lower undies (or should i say panties) get manhood over elastic, trying to hit the urinal. Worrying if the elastic is gonna snap up, pissing all over yourself instead.


If you wore men's underwear you could......

Walk up to urinal, unzip, reach into then pull out of flap, one's manhood. Piss, reverse procedure, wash hands and leave.

[Fentonite]

Heck, I always thought that age-old question had to do with pooping. It never even occurred to me that a grown-ass man would need to drop his drawers to simply pee. Then again, never expected to write a post that contained “poop” and “pee”.

You know the 80% 10/22 that GrantH suggested to me in the buyer Intel 80's thread makes a G kit for about $500, add a couple rifles or 80's and parts to that. I'm guestimating just shy of a grand total cost.

We could sell our mangina's and save, build one over the year and then meetup and have a 10/22 Gatlin gun watermelon shoot.

Saw Rush when they toured for their album, 2112, as the opening act for Styx. Another excellent concert, as far as i can remember.

[OtterbatHellcat]

Rush did some great stuff. Bad Mamma Jo Meyers from KAZY back in the day....said that band was about "wisdom rock". At the time I didn't really think much of it, but she was right imo.

[Mazin]

Sorry hate rush completely, ranks up there with weezer, green day and the Eagles "Hotel California".

I get Rush's place in rock history...I just don't like them. That being said whenever Tom Sawyer kicked on I jammed, but mostly cuz it was Kerry Von Ehrich's entrance music...

I recently decided I'd better start doing daily lessons again. Generally understanding speaking at full speed is the most difficult for me, but I checked out podcasts anyway. I found one called Coffee Break Espanol. It's funny because it's two people from Scotland, teaching Spanish as spoken in Spain, and they sometimes try to explain how to pronounce stuff by using their American accents. If anything, it's at least entertaining.

The best thing I've done so far is learn from different sources with Duolingo carrying most of the weight. If you go that route, make sure you are occasionally clicking on the little speech bubble after each exercise as that takes you to a forum where people are discussing that particular exercise. Every single other helpful resource I've found, I've found in those forums. It was a night and day difference in the speed which I was able to learn. Last time anyway. Once you stop, it rapidly goes away.

[ChickNorris]

.... Once you stop, it rapidly goes away.

No creo que ya que esta no es la verdad para mi. Algunas veces no hablo espanol por muchos meses, pero empiezo con la misma habilidad que deje pero es obvio que mi espanol es terrible todo del tiempo. Aunque la practica regular es mejor que nada, de acuerdo?

[ChickNorris]

El poit

[Irving]

Sure, maybe if you already know another language. I've noticed that if I'm pretty intoxicated and come across some Spanish, I pick it up a lot better than if I'm sober. It's weird.

[OtterbatHellcat]

I know, right?

[wyome]

Spanish....didn't learn it at home, still not interested in learning it

[OtterbatHellcat]

It would be a pretty handy tool actually...imo.

[MrPrena]

Had to take Spanish AND Japanese to fulfill my highschool graduation requirement.
School counselor was little slow and didn't enroll me a foreign language classes on fr and so year.
I eventually has to take 1 Spanish on jr year and took 1 Spanish and 1 Japanese on my senior year to fulfill 3 year of foreign language.

I was taking Spanish for undergrad requirement. I found out my first language would meet foreign language requirement. I thought only international student get this, but I guess instate tuition paying student could get that as well.

Peleton's a bicycle / exercise company, not a foreign language.

Interesting, they offered those exercise bicycle machines under $1K price point. Couldn't give them away. Raised it to IIRC, $2k and they're flying off the floor. Owner said people kept asking how come so cheap, what's wrong with them?

throw some 3/4 osb between 2 of the 4' trusses. Running 24' on each side, then 4x8 osb, painted white for interior walls.
One of the neighbors when he asked what i was doing for work space. I told him CL for take off kitchen cabinets.
He says. Oh no i build you cabinets, just pay for materials. Well if you insist.
Depends if i want to go with cabinets, or line the walls with shelves like the CO shop was.

[Irving]

I'm curious if the fire resistance of drywall outweighs the cost savings over OSB. Also, if local code (anywhere) requires drywall in garages/shops for fire resistance. You'd think that'd be something I'd know.

[Great-Kazoo]

I'm curious if the fire resistance of drywall outweighs the cost savings over OSB. Also, if local code (anywhere) requires drywall in garages/shops for fire resistance. You'd think that'd be something I'd know.

Unfortunately drywall isn't up to the task of mounting shelves to, or securing work benches. Remember it's a detached garage, not attached. So certain building codes are not in play.
Once the structure is up and signed off, it's none of anyone's business how things are done in the garage, or workshop. AS long as utilities are to code..

I was asked on the permit application if there was going to be water / plumbing ran to the building. Of course not.

This is where your local code, comes in to play.

IF i were to run a water line. Then it's considered a dwelling / living space. That's where building / fire codes are adhered to

[Irving]

I'm not trying to convince you one way or the other, I'm just curious. I think OSB used to be cheaper than drywall and was probably the way to go. Agree that it's probably easier to hang stuff with OSB.

[OtterbatHellcat]

In that case, once you have the siding on, you should insulate between the walls with play sand.

[ChickNorris]

[OtterbatHellcat]

Wait a minute...is play sand different than regular, or beach sand?

[Irving]

Nope, just what is called when you buy it.

[OtterbatHellcat]

Beach sand is kinda play sand, or is that regular sand that people can play with? Which makes it play sand again, but it was from the beach. Regular sand might be what's in an hourglass, but if you were playing while the hourglass was operating, does that make it play sand at that point? Dizzyingly, Which sand IS the correct sand for playing in, or time keeping, or just regular?

Seemingly a deeper subject than one might suppose.

[OtterbatHellcat]

So the official ruling is just...……..sand.

Okay.

[Grant H.]

Today was alright as far as work, but now I get to leave at 4:30am for Wyoming tomorrow.

Back for a day, then off to the Canadian Border for a weekish...

I'm sort of getting tired of traveling again...

Hehehe

Already sent that off to a few friends...

Good find!

[ChickNorris]

Where in Wyoming?

[Grant H.]

North of Douglas.

[ChickNorris]

I lived in Douglas a long while back.

[Great-Kazoo]

North of Douglas.

There is or was a killer bakery in Douglas. They use to bring fresh bakes breads and other pastries down, when they had appointments with me

[ray1970]

North of Douglas.

I work just north of Douglas from time to time.

[ray1970]

I lived in Douglas a long while back.

Well that explains a lot.

[ChickNorris]

Well that explains a lot.

Naarrrrf

[OtterbatHellcat]

Time to retire?

Please don't tempt me....you know why I need to be here, and I can't retire yet anyways.

Not unless I knock off one of those banks nearby on Wadsworth. "I think I could pull it off" has been said by failed, and jailed assholes all over the world. ha ha.

[OtterbatHellcat]

Im out before i get in trouble. Night folks

That really is a good plan. I've fuked up a bunch of times and regretted it the next day. Better to not do it in the first place.

It's the Christian version of contraception, DON'T DO IT posting style. It's a work in progress for me, I think I'm starting to win a little bit....it's only taken six years.

[brutal]

Well while everyone, or almost everyone here was cccccooold. This is what's happening down here.

[OtterbatHellcat]

I did say " a little bit ", and " a work in progress ".

I do wonder why regional transportation authorities across the nation had zero interest in the success that uber and lyft have had the last several years, and decided to ignore the functionality of that type of system to stick with skanky busses loaded with.....skank....with some loosely general direction you might have wanted to go.

[brutal]

Watching some old ass Newleywed Game vidoes on youtube.

Eubanks really was a great host, and the show really did have a lot of funny shit in it. If I could get a boxed set of all the Eubanks episodes, I'd buy it right now. Hilarious.

"That be the butt Bob!" (paraphrased)

[OtterbatHellcat]

Oh, that blows ass, Brutal.

I'm sorry brother...hang in there, man.

[brutal]

Well, at least I dodged a 3rd week of back to back travel next week.

[OtterbatHellcat]

Home, home on the range.

Finish that shit, and get back to your own pad, my friend.

Thanks. Night

Another day..

[ChickNorris]

Good morning folks, Mr. Prena

[Great-Kazoo]

Nice post btw...

Good night

yes CN came across as an unbiased shooter with valid input. Unfortunately, that CRC issue is not only what happened out here. But also caused the town to shut the range down. I agree a lot of B.O.D's seem to be rooted in the past, with disdain for anything semi-auto that's not a Garand.






With that said i'll be sending hourly temp readings, from the 2 outside temp gauges to my friend[s] in Chi town who sent me a, wind chill -45 this morning text.

[BladesNBarrels]

I don't care who ya are, the polar vortex can suck our collectives asses.

Damn I don't like cold.

Ahh! On the upside, it helps kill off the little pesty critters that attack the trees, gardens, people during the spring and summer.
Told by an arborist last year that my ash had ash flower gall that is caused by little mites.
Normally the little mites are killed by extended cold periods during the winter, but last winter had been too mild.
Give me a cold spell and get rid of them little guys!

I say the state government needs to go out in force to show solidarity with the disenfranchised homeless.

Didn't search shit, but was that Mutiny on the Caine?

Searched it... I'm wrong as fuck, and um, yeah.

Dang it.

There's The Caine Mutiny

Capt. Curtis is from Peewee's Playhouse.

Holiday? No, they were here and almost finished. Tomorrow is install trim , set door and a walk through.
Next week, depending on how the town works with permits. I'll be installing 200a service to the building.

So my GM (way above my actual boss) calls me at about 3:45 and leaves a VM to call him. My last day at this company is 2/7. I'm at a meeting with my new employer at the time and the phone is off.

At 5pm or so I text him and he says a call at 9pm or 10pm would be great. I left him a VM at 9:30pm. No response yet.

I'm thinking an offer to stay. More ching, better hours (graves suck). I'm also thinking "suck it - you had your chance asshat".

We'll see if I get a call back tonight. He better hurry up though, gettin into the bourbon at this point.

[Fentonite]

Suck it - you had your chance asshat.. I think that’s your answer, regardless of his offer. It seems to me that your new employer saw something in you that the old one either didn’t see, or didn’t think he needed to acknowledge and reward, and is only possibly going to offer you something better because he is losing you. Which means he’d be willing to treat you like you like crap, as long as he can get away with it. Also, even if he makes you a great offer, you already left him once, so he’s liable to be somewhat offended and keep it in the back of his mind going forward. The fact that your new boss came after you and demonstrated that you’re valuable to him, makes me think he’s likely to continue that behavior in the future.

Exactly right.

[Irving]

Agreed. I left a company once and my boss was pissed I didn't tell him. He wanted to know why I didn't come to him first, but I knew his restrictions and he just wouldn't have been able to make me happy. I really liked that boss too.

May be too late, but here's a couple articles with some good points to ponder. I actually have one of them posted in my cube (from LinkedIn):

5 Reasons you should never accept a counter offer (https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/5-reasons-you-should-never-accept-counter-offer-thomas-de-freitas)



5 Reasons you should never accept a Counter Offer
Published on August 25, 2017

CEO at Communicate Recruitment Solutions

So you?ve decided it?s time for a move, you?ve met with recruiters, you?ve assiduously scoured the market, you?ve interviewed with several different companies and you?ve finally found your next move. The job feels right, the company is great right and the people are a breath of fresh air.

You hand in your notice, but then something strange happens. Your manager goes pale and defers acceptance of your resignation. They have to speak to their boss. A day goes by, then two, then it?s the weekend. Monday comes around and the Head of the department asks to speak with you? and here it is, the counter offer in all it?s cheap, shameful glory ? awash with excuses and regret.

Here are 5 reasons you should say thanks, but no thanks.

1) The Statistics ? According to the National Employment Association, 80% of those who accept counter offers end up leaving within the next 6 months anyway.

2) The Motive ? what is your employer?s motive for getting you to stay? Is it because they value you or is it because it takes a great amount of time and effort to replace you? The fact that you chose to move in the first place is indicative that you weren?t valued properly. To replace you, your employer is likely going to have to run an exhaustive search, conduct numerous interviews, pay ~ 20% of your salary in recruitment fees not to mention spend hours and hours getting someone new up to speed.

3) The Trust ? despite the platitudes, the trust is now gone. You?ve got a black mark against your name as someone who isn?t loyal and is a flight risk. If redundancies come, do you think you?ll be towards the bottom or the top of the list of people to go? Trust is a two-way street. Do you really trust that this is a genuine offer? Or is it a temporary measure whilst they come up with a contingency plan. How can you know for sure? You can?t.

4) The Money ? Where has this miraculous pay rise come from? I?ll tell you where it?s come from, it?s come from your next bonus or your next pay rise. Don?t be surprised to find yourself heavily penalised in the near future. If you ARE going to accept the counter offer, make damn sure it?s at least a 20% increase on your current salary, because that?s the minimum it will cost to replace you.

5) Self Belief ? Always back yourself. Your actions define you, and you handed in your notice for a reason. You have taken the initiative, don?t now surrender it. Smile, thank your manager, but stick to your guns. They will only respect you for it, and who knows ? perhaps one day you?ll return.

10 Reasons Why You Should NEVER Accept a Counter Offer When You Resign
Published on November 9, 2018

Managing Director at Bell Ward (We are hiring ambitious consultants!)

As a recruiter, I have come across many job seekers who are willing to explore the job market but may not have any apparent reasons to leave their current jobs. These group of job seekers are the most likely to drop-out from a hiring process, even at offer stage, because they are more likely to accept a counter-offer from their current employer. However, is it a wise decision to accept a counter offer? Will the underlying issues that prompted a person to passively explore job opportunities disappear or improve with the counter offer? Or is it all due to fear of change?

Having spoken to many job seekers and understanding their motivation and needs, these are some common reasons that prompted people to seek new job opportunities, either actively or passively:

? Feeling underpaid or unappreciated

? Slow or no career progression

? Long working hours

? Bored with the job scope

? Political culture

? Bad boss

? Distance to work

Whatever the reasons, as a job seeker, you would have attempted to resolve some of these underlying issues. But certain things are beyond your control, so would the problem disappear after accepting a counter offer from your current employer? Very highly no. Many job seekers who accepted counter-offer would, for various reasons, return within months to start their job search again, because counter-offer is a short-term solution to long-term underlying issues. Statistics have shown that four out of five people who accept counter-offers are gone within the year.

So, here are the 10 reasons why you should NOT accept a counter offer:

1. Nothing changes except your salary. The underlying issues that prompted you to consider other job opportunities will remain there ? things and people don?t change overnight.

2. Your future employer sees a potential in you that your current employer does not see. Taking on a new hire is a risk, for both the employer and employee. If your future employer is willing to take the risk to groom and grow your potential and future, why not seize the opportunity?

3. Great things never come from staying within your comfort zone. You may feel familiar and comfortable with your current employer, but does it bring you the job satisfaction that you desire? Often, a change will bring growth and transformation.

4. You have not been paid what you are worth for. If your employer is willing to adjust your salary when you ?threaten? to resign, then your employer is knowingly underpaying you for your talent and efforts, an indication of non-appreciation of their employees.

5. Are you bringing forward your bonus/promotion/pay rise now rather than when it?s due? Most companies have strict pay scales for each level and position, so you might end up having a lower adjustment when your next pay revision or review is due. Would you be happy then?

6. Trust likely be broken between you and your current employer. Often, resignation is seen as ?lack of loyalty?, and your current employer may now question if they can count on you, which will limit your future growth.

7. Your employer may question your convictions knowing now that you can be ?bought?. People who accept a counteroffer often feel that they have been bought rather than rewarded for the work they have done. This dissatisfaction will eventually affect your sense of belonging to the company.

8. On average, around 80% of those who accept counter offers reignite their job search within 3 months. You may genuinely still do your best for your current employer, but your employer and co-workers may treat you differently now that you have shown a ?lack of loyalty?.

9. Your ?lack of loyalty? may likely put you at the top of the pile when they are looking to reduce the number of employees when times get tough.

10. Counter offers are usually just a stalling tactic to give your employer time to find your replacement at a lower salary.

At the end, if you decide to accept the counter offer, my advice is to get everything you want in writing from your current employer. It is also important to be professional and end things gracefully with your future employer and recruiter that worked with you on the new job opportunity ? it?s a small industry, you never know when you will cross path again.


There are many many more, and they pretty much all share common themes.

Had a different experience.
Everyone knew I was applying for a higher position in WY.
My boss's boss was also applying for the same job.
I was selected for the top 3 to be interviewed and he wasn't.
I received a promotion at home within a month and was assigned my own division.
Sometimes it takes an outsider to help your employer discover your talents.
My advice: listen, be respectful, don't burn that bridge.

Staying for the money never works out as well as it sounds like it will in your head...

I've seen many folks be fed up and ready to leave, only to stay when their current employer matches or exceeds the offer they are leaving for, and it's miserable for them.

At least listen to what they have to say, but if they don't comprehend why you were leaving (thinking you're leaving over just money means they don't get it), don't stay. It won't be better...

[ray1970]

It?s all about being happy.

I once took a $20K a year pay cut for better bosses, better working conditions and schedule, and a more stress free lifestyle.

[ChickNorris]

If it wasnt your great grandboss & just your boss, I'd be in complete agreement with the gallery. That word made it to him of your intended departure & he is now making attempt to contact you could mean you have been recognized beyond the daily. While reparations may be too little too late, I'd listen to what he has to say & offer, if that's his intent, before I dismissed it entirely.

Then tell him why you're leaving. Poit
