Yet another refugee who washed up on the shore after the great Reddit disaster of 2023

My parlor trick back in the day was that when a call came in from a modem or fax, I could whistle in a way that it would connect. Couldn’t do anything past that, but it was fun.
Realized the King thing afterwards.
Christy Walton has been outspoken and supportive of the movement, but I haven’t seen evidence that she’s bankrolling it. She for sure doesn’t speak for the company, which is more conservative.
Is that what Republicans mean when they say “Think of the children?”
One interesting thing at my local one in southern California: several people were waving large state flags. Lots of American flags as well, but I thought the state flags were interesting.
Article updated to say that an appeals court has overturned that ruling, so Trump ca still control them for now, unfortunately.
Plus it’s a horrible job. My dad was also a general contractor, and where we live is very hot and dry in the summer. I remember, as a kid, seeing roofers on top of a house in 100+ F heat, mopping hot tar; I thought that must be the worst job there was. When I got older and started working in aerospace, when my boss would say he needed someone to do some unfun task, I’d always volunteer because I’d be thinking, “this is so much better than mopping tar on a hot roof.”
The brownies don’t look like they came from that pan. They taper at both ends, and they have rings/segments that the pan doesn’t have.
Remember that you should be interviewing them as much as they’re interviewing you. Ask questions, not due the sake of asking them, but to find out if they’re a good fit for you (so the questions depend on what you care about). You might ask things like how many hours of OT a typical employee does, or what percent of turnover the area you’re interviewing for has typically experienced.
Otherwise, be professional but try to have a relaxed conversation as much as possible.
It’s in OP’s article
I think in 1925 their ability to cushion big hunks of glass was lower, and they didn’t have safety glass. It was probably a good call, even though it was a cool idea.
Yep. Bart Simpson heading that direction, too.
I went downstairs and took one just for you:
His thing was that he didn’t want obvious electric lights in the lobby because Aztecs didn’t have electric lights. But it was decided that giant glass columns in earthquake country in the 20s was a bad idea, so they didn’t do it
My dad was friends with the guy who designed the Aztec Hotel. He didn’t want regular light fixtures originally, so he came up with an idea for lighted columns, and he made a prototype table-lamp sized. The was in 1925. The prototype is in my living room and I use it every day.

Never fails to make me smirk when people do the title of that show in markdown.
I don’t know, I hear conflicting stories, and all the positive ones are from long ago.
There’s zero chance that the problems SpaceX is having are because of not enough Elon
