A match made in heaven.

Just do like Kansai airport and build an island out past Deer Island.

I've been out of IT since 2009 and I still get emails from recruiters seeing if I'm available. I haven't even updated my LinkedIn in 10 years.

Bob is our summer music station.

If you don't like it now, you aren't going to like the rest of it.

It's a very divisive book and most people either love it or hate it.

It works well. I turn old doors into desks, and they typically have many layers of paint.

Hit it with a heat gun, make it bubble/burn, then let it cool completely. When you run a paint scraper over it, it'll flake right off. Much less messy than dealing with molten paint.

My wife is on QIE, and she can't stand 'Weatherman Jeff'.

> Washing and or pressure washing is an easy step

Just give it several days for the wood to dry. Pressure washing especially is going to soak the wood. It's the same reason you don't seal a deck for at least a week after pressure washing it.

Jesus, are you really willing to die on this hill?

You are the only one complaining about putting bollards everywhere. In this case, in a shopping mall, bollards are appropriate, and would have saved life and limb, literally.

You can put them in front of fucking plate glass storefronts in a parking lot.

Oh, well if they are ugly, then that's okay. Fuck people, we need pretty hardscaping at shopping malls.

You should be rinsing with hot water and scraping all the gunk off with a plastic scraper. No soap, and wait until the stone is fully cooled.

What you really need to do is cook fatty things on it to season the stone. Biscuits, rolls, cookies, things like that. The fat will coat the surface and build up a coat of non-stick seasoning.

You can also lightly spray Pam or other cooking spray every time you cook with it. It'll make foods slide right off, and getting charred cheese off becomes trivial.

> Ted Chiang with some mind-blowing short stories.

He blows me away. His first anthology is from the 90s, but they hold up today, and Story of Your Life hit me hard.

Same. Mostly non-gendered, but sometimes thought of it as a 'she'.

While reading all the books, I had this looping in my head: "My name's Murderbot and I care what you think", to the refrain from 21 Pilots, Stressed Out.

Talk to the librarians, you should be able to pull them from InterLibrary Loan.

You are making the claim, support it. I’m not making your argument for you.

> The bigger problem in my eyes with bills like this is that it sets a dollar amount rather than something that will adjust with future changes in the value of money.

The amount is tied to inflation, so it will adjust periodically.

> The reason the T is broken is because

It's broken because the state legislature has chronically underfunded it for 40+ years.

Add to it Baker's financial scheme of dumping Big Dig debt onto the agency.

Workers retiring early are the least of the T's problems.

> To those who supported this action to fire people because they were not vaccinate should be ashamed of themselves for the harm they caused families, and everyone else.

No, I don't think so. The harm was caused by those who refused to vaccinate. Not going to feel sorry for anyone who made that choice.

> All you pitbulls who went after people because of this are the lowest of the low. You did not even want to listen to people, you were so sure that what you believed was so right you caused major damage.

Boo hoo. Did you feel bullied for not getting the vaccine?

Except Hawaii. They haven't managed to swim that far, yet.

Don't have the cable tech install your internal wiring. They will drill through floors and do the absolute bare minimum required to get the wires in the rooms you want.

Have the cable brought to one spot, and either have an electrician run cabling through the walls, or DIY it.

> In the city: Kane's is the common favorite.

Note that they sell out of most, if not all by early afternoon.

> Donut King in Quincy/Weymouth.

They both have good donuts. The Quincy location is more basic/old school donut shop and coffee counter. The Weymouth location has specialized in fancy, highly decorated donuts and there can be a line out the door when they are busy.

And beware that it might not be right above this spot. It usually is, but water can travel through the structure in weird ways sometimes.
