Re: NBA Playoffs 2015
Bummer that Love is out for the season. That kind of play happens dozens of times each game. Maybe not with the momentum that Olynik was carrying with him, but I've done it and I've had it done to me countless times.

Re: Return of Confessions
I just lost an opportunity on a real estate deal that would have turned $120K plus a little sweat equity into an easy $200k+ because I dragged my feet. I feel fucking sick right now. And I want to punch something. So, a risk-less real estate deal! I've always wanted to see one. But I am told they h...

If someone does a good job going along with something they are a "trouper," not a "trooper."

April Fools pranks (successful and otherwise)
In the office kitchen I pulled my usual "tape down the sprayer nozzle" prank, with the nozzle pointing at the faucet handle so the spray would innocently hit the person's hand. A couple hours into the work day a female co-worker shouts "Okay, who was trying to start a wet t-shirt cont...

Re: Swamp Travel: Yellowstone
I been to Yellowstone a couple times, and the upper section of Grand Loop Road has the most wildlife I've seen in the park. However, it has less geothermal activity iirc.

Re: 2015 NCAA Tournament Thread
UW needs to cool the f out or they will play themselves out of this game. N. Iowa is clearly a more disciplined team.

Re: Random Politics
In Rapid City, the council member we censured (Sam Kooiker) when I was on the dais rode that "persecution" all the way to the Mayor's office (he's savvy). Yesterday, the former Police Chief announced he's going to run for Mayor. This is a good thing, and I'm sure will prove to be a very en...

Well...they didn't accept my offer on the spot. One of the decision makers is in China, and they are gong to wait for him to get back before countering.

Re: Swamp Cooking Thread
Made a seafood paella tonight with a couple audibles. I used a rice cooker instead of caramelizing the rice in the cast iron, but to make up for it I toasted some saffron (get an Indian friend, yo) and infused it in some tomato water (from canned tomatoes if your mom doesn't can) for the rice cooker...

Re: Cultural Blind Spots
Music. Even when I think I discover something new, I usually find out it's 10 years old.
Movies. For instance I just started watching Castaway for the first time. I still have the last 20 minutes to go.
Go ahead and put TV shows in here, too. I'm half way through Breaking Bad.

Re: What's happening, Dudes?
Not asking for numbers, but for curiosity's sake, how did you come up with the "what you would like" figure? I imagine a combination of current salary plus cost of living increase, etc? I did some research into similar positions in the industry, added a premium based on the uniqueness of ...

Re: What's happening, Dudes?
After much thoughtful consideration of all these points, and what the job has to offer professionally, we've decided that I should pursue the position. I talked with the head HR guy and he told me to make them an offer. I've never been in that position before. So tomorrow I'm going to ask for 15% mo...

Re: Phones & Cases And Such
My Father-in-law had to return his first i-6 lifeproof case because of a defect, but as with all other lifeproof returns they were totally cool about it. His second case works fine.
I do hope they improved the touch-id cover. That is definitely the weak link on my i-5 case.

Heh. I can always use a new tie, DSafe. I mistakenly thought I could swamp from work...I forgot about Selma and that chick on the stool...she isn't welcome round those parts. The big reason that compelled me to come back at this time is that I'm considering moving and need some advice/perspective. I...
