Baram posted:NJ banned Tesla sales too. I still see them all over already though. Just because they blocked the sales via factory direct doesn't mean they didn't block the ability for a NJ resident to go to a neighboring state to purchase and import it, or does it? Not familiar with your laws on the books of Tesla. From what I understand it only bars the selling of factory direct but not an intermediary.

Honestly, I don't know if I hate dealing with instructors or students the most. Either way, on the management side of things, it's a poo poo sandwich of listening to retarded problems. Having worked in the real world until 8 years ago, I'm completely jaded to their non-issues. I'd love to see how the majority of them would actually perform outside of the warm womb of academia. Protip: there's a reason why people like me have to baby sit them.

I deal with issues on the IT side of things and there are a few cool people out there, but for the most part it's people who freeze up with any stress at all and turn into total assholes. Here's a smattering of "issues" just this week: "I GOT TO MY CLASSROOM THIS MORNING AND YOUR PEOPLE DID SOMETHING BUT I COULDN'T TEACH!!!!" Person doesn't know what the gently caress a power button is apparently. "I USED YOUR WEBSITE LAST NIGHT NOW MY LAPTOP WON'T WORK" OK, where did you go after that? *click* hello? Welp, I guess that answers that.. "MY DVD DRIVE WON'T ACCEPT DISCS, EVERY TIME I PUT ONE IN IT JUST SPITS IT OUT!" Students flipped the desktop upside down. This was a computer instructor.. "WHY AREN'T MY FILES ON THE PC IN THE CLASSROOM WHEN I SAVE THEM TO THE C DRIVE IN MY OFFICE?!? THIS IS CLEARLY BROKEN AND NEEDS TO BE FIXED!!!" Uhhh.. Let me show you how a "C drive" works.. We get all the retards of the universe calling in and we get the task that nobody wants.. We have to talk them off a ledge while smiling and act like it's our fault, because god forbid you crack a tiny bit of their ego. they're edit: And yes, those were the ones I personally dealt with because "Your people are too incompetent to take care of my issues."  double edit: Also, I could imagine how much worse it would be to deal with not only students but also their parents at the jr. high - high school level since they've apparently graduated from retardation finishing school by the time they get to us. keykey fucked around with this message at 15:40 on Sep 5, 2014 |

Darchangel posted:.... while also not being able to discipline the little fuckers, because, oh my God, you might hurt their self-esteem, let alone spank the little bastards, as they so richly deserve. That's not quite the issue at hand. The issue is the system is churning out kids/adults that are led to believe that just because they go to school they are entitled to a job or even a certain standard. that's not the way it works, you have to work and be willing to accept the poo poo jobs to begin with to build a resume and to not only realize an opportunity, but take it. As of now, it's more of a congrats, you have a bachelors, so does drat near everybody else. A bachelors is the new high school diploma. Honestly, the program we have here where students will earn the highest amount of money out of this place because we have instructors that work in the industry with a direct line of work is welding. Guess what we are cutting next year so we can pad more programs that are worthless until you get a masters? Don't get me wrong, school is great, however somewhere along the way we have lost the greater vision of vocational programs. Believe it or not, not everybody who graduates with a psychology degree will be a psychologist.

HotCanadianChick posted:It's cute that you somehow seem to think anyone in the private sector is somehow less retarded about computers than people in academia. I'd be hard pressed to choose any one industry with a higher number of computer retards, but real estate and academia are neck in neck on this one. Most people just accept that they don't know what they're doing and I'm cool with that. I'd rather deal with people that accept they don't know what they're talking about rather than the ones that are dangerous enough to get into control panel and that means they know everything, ever. It's been close to 8 years since I was GM at regional computer place inc, but I'd gladly take those customers over our current ones. Either that or maybe it's a sign of the times that people think they know everything and believe that if anything happens it isn't their fault? What's the general consensus for you people out there in corporate tech land, is this just an industry wide thing now? People with issues didn't use to be this annoying.

We live in the country so cats come and go fairly frequently. There's a Russian blue that decided to adopt us and lived here for close to 3 years. He disappeared in January, we figured he either got ran over or he moved on in any case we thought he was gone. He showed back up 2 months ago out of the blue meowing at the back door and hangs out around the barn, he uses the Kubota tractor seat as a bed now.

meatpimp posted:We have slipped a long way from that place, though, and the rise of unions is something that needs to happen. Simply from a wage disparity viewpoint, it's far too simple to prove exploitation. I really want to agree with what you said, but I also believe there is a fine line of legislation to union to work place. The balance hasn't been struck yet, hell this is one of those hot button MBA topics that gets talked about by every single class, especially relating to HR and theory. There are a lot of ideas, but the hard part is finding a balance between them all. rscott posted:Well sure, if you want to get rid of corporations too. But having everyone be self employed seems like a rather utopian idea that's quaint on the level of Thomas Jefferson wishing the United States would be a largely rural agrarian society. The 90s were largely an aberration built on the dotcom bubble, and to be honest, things weren't even that great back then either. Certainly a bit better than they are now, but the downward spiral of the quality of life for working class americans started back in 1968. I'd like to think that on some level people generally are self starters, it all depends on their motivation. The larger question at hand though is how do you motivate somebody who clearly lacks motivation, intrinsically or extrinsically, and the ability to self start? If anybody can figure out that equation, they'd make money hand over fist.

Substitute your favorite appropriate beer to taste. I need to try using brooklyn brewery russian imperial stout next. Beer + meat usually = better. It tenderizes and caramelizes the meat a little. Beer is the "secret recipe" to my grandpas ribs, also slow cooking in the oven before throwing the on the grill.

Somewhat Heroic posted:I feel old, but I am relatively young for the neighborhood we live in. The neighborhood we lived in before we moved to the country was a lot like that, we were the youngest people there by a good 40 years. It was amazing because you could hear a pin drop at night so trying to get sleep was a non issue. If we had people over and were going to be in the backyard, we just let our neighbors know if we got too loud to come over or give us a call and we'll take care of it. It was a pretty chill place to live.

goatse guy posted:My friend has a house from the 1920s with the original pink bathroom and kitchen, and I love it to death. If I did have an old house, I'd want to do it in a period-correct style with a pink bathroom. We bought a house and lived in it for 3 1/2 years before selling it that was built in 1919. That thing was a Winchester mystery house of questionable previous "improvements." It only had 3 build dates associated with it, the 3rd being the renno we did before moving in and within the first few areas we went through, it was really obvious that there were many more builds associated with it than just the 2 previous. Also, none of the previous improvements before listed a garage as a structure and it was not part of the original building. As a rule now, I won't buy anything that was built previous to 1975.

Time to bleed is rapidly approaching. If/when I get another Saab, I'm just replacing those all around to begin with on general principle. I replaced my drivers side front 2 times, drivers rear once, passenger side front once. I did have to go to pnp for a new window actuator for the drivers front because when it broke, I was at work so I just pushed it and rolled it up so it wouldn't be down so my parking pass didn't get stolen. When I got home I went to replace it and noticed the arm was twisted.

Rinse and repeat and you can get free housing a few days (weeks?) At a time? They have to be physically at that address as well. In goatse's case the person would be 1/2 way there, if he changed his legal mailing address there, then in CA it'd be a done deal and would require a legal notice of removal.
