I dunno. This seems fairly accurate:
The only time I’ve ever been called “buddy” as an adult is when I’m trespassing drunks who’re indignant at being told not to piss on my tenant’s window. (Or that i wouldn’t shake their hand.)(every damn time. Eww)
Or keep it to low heat. Even better, “no heat” if you can just tumble dry.
Also, wash it on cold.
“Ever try doing laundry before you run out of clean underwear?”- your mom, maybe.
“I suppose I should be glad you’re doing laundry at all.”- also possibly your mom.
As a manager, every exit interview where some one unloaded the way you just did… they weren’t brutally honest. They were just assholes with poor social skills.
You’re going out of your way to be mean and vindictive- and while your former coworkers may have been petty… so are you, and being “brutal” is you going out of your way to express it.
By the way, “happy” people shuffle around looking for better pay or more exciting opportunities too. Sorry you never found a place you can thrive at.
It should also be noted that they’re incredibly energetic. If they get bored… they can get destructive in a hurry.
It’s best to keep any kind of shepherd well exercised and mentally engaged.
That’s more of a guideline and a philosophy than an objective fact.
probably the best advice anyone here can give.
At best, we’re just taking guesses here. At worst… well… this is how you end up drinking twenty bottles of tequila a week, seeking the medicinal value of the worm slathered in tabasco sauce
I’m so glad I’m not the only one with an overly active imagination!
Incinerator toilets?
So, Peter at the gates comes from a more or less literal interpretation from the passage where Jesus was making Peter the first pope. “To you I hand the keys to the kingdom of heaven….”
What Jesus was saying is that Peter got to decide who was in the Blood Ritual Cannibal Club,
Keep in mind, the books were written well after Jesus died, and the scriptures weren’t canonized until 300 years later; at the council of Nicaea- which was called specifically to “unify” the church. A lot of the choices about what was canon or not was specifically made to protect the bulk of the bishop’s authority (by drawing a straight lineage of succession from Peter.)
Everybody talks about Hitlers camps, nobody talks about America doing the EXACT SAME THING, ROUGHLY AT THE SAME TIME!!!
Not that the internment camps were or are defensible, but we weren’t gasing Japanese Americans or driving them out by the truck/trainload and shooting them in the woods.
Yes, some died in the camps- roughly 1,600, but none through and intentional and concerted effort to exterminate an entire race, with the number of Jews dying in nazis germany roughly 6,000,000.
You don’t need to be hyperbolic. The internment camps were bad enough on their own; but they were not the same as the holocaust.
If you can, ask someone already there. Depending on the exact type of work, they may have very specific recommendations, and they’ll have a better idea of what the climate is like than we will.
In general, you’ll want to be able to layer clothing. Start with the base layer, whose job is to be wicking away sweat.
Mid layers are for insulation, and it would be prudent to get one light sweater and one heavier sweater, maybe a third or whatever. The idea being you can increase your mid layers to stay warm but not too warm as necessary. Same for pants. Around here, I usually go for a tight base layer, a loser waffle-weave longjohns and shell blouses into boots.
Keep in mind, that layers being worn to the outside should be looser so as to not compress layers being worn closer to the body.
Patagonia makes some good, hard wearing stuff as a general brand to check out, but there far from the only one.
Hats and gloves are important, too and for gloves I’d consider getting mittens at least as one option and maybe lighter fingerless gloves to wear inside. (Or lighter gloves. Especially if it’s possible you’ll need manual dexterity)
Also, bring a book or something to read, and plenty of snacks that don’t necessarily freeze. Hydration is also important and illumination.
Try to stay away from caffeine, among other things it also constricts the blood vessels limiting circulation in your extremities.
Wool should not be a base layer, but in the mid-layers. It can be a decent shell in lightning, and felt can hold against light rains (and will stay warm even if it does get soaked.)
Merino wool can be considerably less scratchy than lower-quality wool; alternatively wool blends will also be better (“smart wool”).
As a material, it can be quite hard wearing if it’s made sturdy. That’s less about the material and more about how it’s made.
You might want to consider a shell layer that’s wind proof, but for fall, a light sweater and a shell while active should be enough unless it’s ghastly out. (Cold and rainy. That shit seeps; and nothing wholesome ever seeps.)
Remember the critical thing is to dress in layers so you can adapt.
Considering that Craigslist is all a bunch of feebs moonlighting, contract disputes can get uncomfortable.
This is why you go with the assassins guild. They ensure it gets done, because their reputation is on the line.
Just saying.
I don’t really see him living for another 4 years. I expect his diet, lack of exercise and excess of bike to kill him off; assuming some whackadoodle doesn’t get to him first.
oh, it’s definitely standardized, no doubt. But people are people, and some of them are going to call out as it’s familiar to them, and in some sort of urgent response… you’re not going to get too confused at the German guy reading off grid coordinates as ‘24-Richard Wilhelm Theodor…’ to get to a particular random stretch of the Atlantic. (using the MGRS coordinates. 24RWT)
but most of my point was that’s not an actual language; you’re still going to have to designate some language as the common language- and get enough understanding to at least be functional in that. it seems logical to just pick one… but, uh… well. humans aren’t very logical.
Though, it’d be fun to have some French guy be like “how Vulgar!” And not be calling me rude.
Good god no. Conjugation is bad enough in English. You don’t want know what my latin grammar is like.
For the record the phonetic alphabet isn’t language and I’m pretty sure there’s slight differences between regions/languages. (Alpha, Able, Apple; for example,)
It’s just a way to spell out letters for clarity over radio. The idea is to create extra syllables in the letters using “familiar” words so that if static or something comes across, you can piece it together; also, “a” is easily confused for “way” or “say” or “may”, and such.
because bikes with Reuleaux Triangles for wheels are fun?
