He's got that black cloud over him now. Sometimes they shake the black cloud but they usually die.
I once saw him in LAX. He was standing there trying to make eye contact with everyone who walked by, I assumed he was desperate to be recognized by adoring fans. There were none.
can be cut or zapped?
Apparently the 20+ year old microwave oven in the studio no longer boils water for flux as much as it explodes it. Yay
Yeah, they cut some out, when lab results are confirmed, there will be more digging. Always amusing when I tell them no general anesthesia.
Try sticking a chopstick in it prior to boiling so it doesn't get superheated.
After CKY he pretty much went over the edge, since every single stint of rehab he has ever done was court ordered and part of his probation I dont see him taking things too seriously, Apparently he pretty much gets himself into a sticky situation everywhere he goes
Just about rolled the excavator a couple times trying to clear the frontside, that D1 will stick to the hill like glue.
I only need to boil about half a cup which is way too much to ask of an appliance I bought used from the rescue mission for $12 seventeen years ago.
Not going to waste a perfectly good chopstick on it, might need them for delicious Thai food later.
It doesn't do anything to the chopstick. It'll still be fully functional.
Great - now I'm hungry for delicious Thai food...
DAMMIT. now i, too, want delicious thai food...or sushi...or something...
I boil the water in the jar that I make the flux. Definitely would not want to use the chopstick after that. I do however have a bag of popsicle sticks. Might give it a try.
Oof.
He comes off super cool in that video where he screams at his exwife in front of their kid in public for ten minutes.
so dreamy, lol
Had a group of folks from Zimmer Biomet come and help with some spring clean up on our trails. Since we’re pretty much a privately ran park with in city limits, it’s nice to have help for dumb shit like trash pick up.

Can you call that a jump? The ramp disintegrated on impact and it more plows into the side of the pool than jump in.
Sounds like they are playing hunger games to volunteer in the community to avoid lay offs, lol
ZB actually is a great help. Probably 4-5 times they will bring out 20-30 people. Today it was a research team. Hell if I know what they do. Our trail system is on property that was donated by the founder of Biomet.

I wonder if any of the ZB folks that I know help? One of the techs that I work with is always wearing bmx hoodies and t-shirts…
A great way to punish upper management is to sell company secrets. I can probably broker a deal. (Obviously, I kid…100%…mostly…)
Just saw an article this week about a guy that got sued in federal court for taking stolen company info to his a new job with a competitor.
is this the same ear as before?
Yes sir!
That type of situation is pretty complex, but a good employment / labor lawyer should be able to help him out and maybe even counter sue - assuming a few things…
I have been very close to that situation. Being a subject matter expert means that I get my livelihood from my knowledge of the subject matter. Denying me my ability to use my skills to provide for me and my family is illegal in most states, which is why non-compete clauses in contracts are an absolute joke.
Obviously, if someone is copying drawings or code or stealing prototype parts or tooling, that’s not protected behaviour. It’s just being a criminal.
Using your know-how to help a competitor of your former employer develop a product? Fair fucking game…
the individual subject to the lawsuit is alleged to have downloaded several thousand documents to a portable hard drive in last few weeks of his employment. assuming that's true, not sure any amount of lawyering is gonna get him out of this.
A former coworker of mine got caught downloading a bunch of sensitive information on his last day of work before going to a competitor. He was arrested and convicted of industrial espionage and was given a large fine, 10 years of parole and banned from working in the same industry during his parole, pretty much limiting him to working at McDonalds.
A few years ago another coworker got caught downloading a bunch of info he had no business having a week before he was leaving the company and was fired on the spot. He was lucky that the company did not seek criminal charges.
Two nights with muscle relaxers and my head/neck are almost feeling normal. Thank goodness. Now I can go back to pretending I am an indestructible 20 year old.
Yeah, that is just theft. However, if you personally have the knowledge and skills to develop / transfer a technology, it’s game on. Company loyalty is a bullshit game that we pretend at…
Oh, I totally play it…when it benefits me. I play with my eyes wide open to the fact that it is total bullshit. Dude, I’m in sales. It’s all smoke and mirrors…
I don't pretend to have paycheck loyalty. As long as my name is in the to field, I don't care what name is in the From field. But I am certainly not going to do anything illegal/immoral. My sense of smug superior moral and intellectual superiority is also valuable to me.
