Our dog's name is Chicago and he got some of the pork when I was wrapping it in butcher paper. He got a lot of good steak and fat when we made ribeyes on Sunday.

New topic: Would anyone be able to look at a federal resume compared to my regular rear end resume? I should have it done tonight. The local VA hospital has an opening for a Social Worker that doesn't require an independent LCSW but allows for those working on hours LCSWA

Yeah, shoot me a PM with a link to the job posting, too, and I'll take a look at it.

Thanks man, I shot you a couple PMs with my stuff. I am sure I'm not the only one that would appreciate a fed jobs primer to help. I was just surprised to finally find a req that didn't want already independently licensed so hadn't given much work into building a fed resume

I literally look at the fed hiring reqs and while I might be interested in the jobs and hell might even qualify, I can't make sense of the loving requirements on USAJOBS in order to tailor my resume to something that might get a second look.

I am interested in federal hiring as well. Retire here in December and have a resume for regular jobs but am being told to cast a wide net in my job search.

Respectfully disagree with this. You can read up through God Emperor and be good. God Emperor is unique and not for everyone, but it's still an amazing novel. You can skip the next two and never look back.

There are a bunch of little things that jump out at me and give me hope. A big one is that fish-covered headboard. That's a dope rear end scene, and it looks EXACTLY as it did in my junior high imagination. Shields, as mentioned. Ornithopters look sick. Sandworm is unfuckingreal (and I'm glad they showed it in the first trailer, because now I know what we'll see in the next one). Yueh and the Harkonnens. Pretty sure we see Shadout Mapes for gently caress's sake.

Day 1, IMAX. Hell yes.

The sword fights with shields are fast instead of slow like in the book but I understand how dumb a fight like that would look in trailers. I do question what adjustment will need to be made when fighting without shields though.

I'm not 100 percent stuff on how they're handling the Harkonnen, but the might be because of the Lynch version. That being said, their planet is supposed to be an industrial shithole, and so far they look the part.

Dave Bautista and Skellan Skarsgard make me hopeful, too.

That might be referring to a couple of things. There is a resumé builder that will let you type in your experience and education in a way that's no-nonsense and asks for most of the basic info that fed agencies generally care about. When you're filling out most application questionnaires, there should also be a section at the end that asks you where the documents you've included should go (e.g. "NakedBear2020.pdf" should be a "resumé" document; "HardKnocksBS.pdf" should be a "transcript" document). If HR sets this up correctly, it'll be clearly marked which items are required as part of the application package; anything not marked as required is optional.

e: If you guys have questions, please feel to start firing them off and I'll try to address them all at once in my word vomit thing. I can already see that qualifications are a sticky point; that'll probably constitute the bulk of it.

As I recall, the key to shield fighting was doing fast stuff with one hand, while being sneaky and slow with the other.

Also, this is only the first half of the book, which makes sense. Paul's eyes aren't changed in the trailer. There's also a pretty clear point to cut in the book.

I mean, Jodorowsky's version of Dune would have been an epic movie, if anyone had thought to break it up into movie size blocks. Unfortunately nobody apparently even considered it.

Got a text from my nephew this afternoon. He’s a teenager and wants to know about the military.

I am completely and utterly unprepared for the conversation. But I feel like I gotta have it, and hammer home how bad an idea enlisting is. Because eventually he’ll be having the conversation with my Dad, who was enlisted, and Commissioned. And I don’t know if he’s really pro or against his grandson joining, but his career was more blessed than crab man by an order of magnitude (So far, no telling how sweet crab mans ride might be) and I’m afraid my nephew might think that’s what the military, or at least the Navy, is like.

Any advice?

I'm right at a pound trimmed and the day is only half done. Some really nice buds this batch. I mean, I'm lucky to trim weed this nice, the top shelf here is nearly $200/oz after taxes, compared to $150/oz neighborhood most of town charges, and they still sell out every month.

Having my lunch joint then it's back to staring at weed for another 5 hours.


/\ Shim, tell your nephew straight up that it sucks and if he considers anything, air force. Although he sees you and your pops and where the service has gotten you guys.

At the least, if he's seriously considering enlisting, push him to in a direction that has a lower chud density as far as a career, so he hears more opinions than the standard military poo poo about republicans and defense and blah blah. Assuming he gets a high enough GT score.

Tell him you want to see his asvab results lol.

There are definitive positives to it, like stable pay and eventual benefits, but then there's serving in the forever wars under a fascist.

Send your nephew this way when he's 21 and I'll find him a weed job.
