Secret Santa info: 31 year old man living in Texas with my wife and two giant dogs. Avid outdoorsman, enjoy hunting, fishing, camping. Huge history buff, classical period to current. Very interested in the Viking/Saxon periods. Wear a US Large shirt. Big fan of most things Scandinavia, minus the pickled/fermented fish.
No worries, appreciate the time and effort you're putting in uploading the albums. Did lead me to looking into USMC involvement in the European/African theaters of WWII. Apparently they were there, but mostly doing secret squirrel stuff with the OSS.
Looks like a few Pacific theater pics slipped in the mix, don't recall ever seeing images of any GI wearing camo helmet covers in the European theater
I don't get it either, especially since the age limit is buried under the special agent qualifications. Physically I'm more than capable of meeting any standards they have, just fail the age limit.
So I'm getting a degree in cybersecurity, and the recruiting emails I have been getting were from the FBI and Secret Service. I just think it's dumb that I would have to meet the same requirements as a Special Agent when they're not hiring me to kick in doors and cuff people, but to be at a desk and working on a computer.
Before all the current federal government shitshow, had received several recruiter emails about working for the FBI or secret service doing cybersecurity, only to find out I'm too old since you have to be max 37 when you start working.
Went to trade school after highschool to be a CNC machinist/programmer/3D modeler. After 10+ years I had maxed out at $22/hr and been through multiple layoffs. Trades aren't some magical money making option, it's long hours of hard work, and you pay a price with your body.
From the food safety courses I have had to take I learned that if you have sudden onset of food poisoning symptoms you most likely got exposed to cleaning chemicals that weren't properly cleaned off. Dish soap and degreaser will mess your guts up really quickly.
Grey duck gang for life
Chukasoba Kazura in Osaka should be on everyone's must try list if you find yourself in that city, borderline religious experience.
Is it even really a crawl space if it's not infested with potentially lethal spiders, littered with random bottles from the builders, and has bolts and hangers everywhere it is possible for an adult body to fit through to get to that leaking p trap under the shower? Not bitter about my last plumbing adventure, just curious.
Had some Japanese exchange students in high school talk to our class when we were studying Asian cultures and history. Asked them if they had been taught about Japanese war crimes during WWII, they were uncomfortable talking about it but said they are learning more about it in school than their parents did. Just like I learned more about what we did to Native Americans, Jim Crow, war crimes during Vietnam. Takes time to honestly look at your country's past.
The engagement ring I bought for my wife was made in 1854 Finland. The diamonds in it are cut to reflect best in candlelight. I like to think that buying a vintage piece helps to minimize modern suffering, but also know that the stones are the product of 100% unambiguous slave labor. Also pretty sure it's haunted, which is cool?
True. It's just that shitty paradox where they say you need more experience to get the job, but you can't get the experience without the job.
Currently getting a BS in cybersecurity, I'm starting to think that all the opportunities they told us were out there and the overwhelming demand isn't what they made it out to be.
What is that gibberish the halfling is saying? Like how the clip starts with Ooh Ooh, like he's mimicking a chimp.
Our female Cane is right around 100 lbs of chaotic energy and mischief. Also the sweetest cuddler and down for adventures.
It's fine if you like her mom, chances are she doesn't like her mom and doesn't want to be like her.
Sweet looking Corsos, little one has some big ol paw paws to grow into
When I was in Japan over the summer (would not recommend going in August if you don't have to, so hot and humid) I was on the train and an older Japanese man boarded but there were no seats open. Got up to give him my seat and none of the Japanese people even looked up from their phones. At first he refused to take it, but with my limited Japanese I insisted he take it. The bow he gave me was so humbling, just be nice to people especially if it doesn't hurt you to do so.
Mine has been going out for the last couple years, I've always said it's part of living. Don't really know what to do because the few times I've had an almost shaved head when I was younger I gave off pretty strong American History X vibes, just without being a nazi or jacked.
Can tell this took place in Texas, living there I got hit and run 3 times and calling 911 they'd tell you to call the non emergency number if no one was hurt. Texas is the reason I have a dashcam.
DOs are medical doctors in spite of their training in osteopathy, not because of it. They could just as easily drop that nonsense and be MDs. It's hard to take them seriously when a core foundation of their schooling is cracking joints and previously the healing powers of magnets.
I've had a few professors that fit this bill. One physics professor that helped develop the acoustic sensors to detect enemy submarines that always screwed up basic arithmetic, said her grad students were responsible for making sure the math worked. Current professor with a PhD in computer science that worked for Samsung but is so shit at actually teaching that we're having to teach ourselves the concepts since he can't actually articulate them.
In school studying cybersecurity, did a report on this. Hospitals and other medical facilities are one of the most targeted areas for attacks, the most likely to pay ransoms, but often charged the least in ransom attacks. Their profit motives and high overhead keep them from adequately investing in cybersecurity and depending on the number of patients potentially affected by an attack they don't always have to report it to the public.
While we do tend to aerosolize many things that shouldn't be, even doing this wouldn't make Americans want to drink more hot tea. This is some UK trash. Besides, we got our bad habits from them to begin with.
As men, we are allowed to love each other. That has never actually been against the rules despite what you may have heard.
Trying to think of another country where a lawmaker could lead a culturally significant performance of a native people, and with the gallery joining in, without the chamber being cleared with teargas...
Shit, she doesn't even use her own first name, Nimarata, because it's not politically advantageous. Not unlike Rafael "Ted" Cruz.
Snow's BBQ in Lexington, TX. Been there a handful of times and it is amazing. Tootsie is super sweet, took time to take pictures with my friends visiting from Iceland.
