Is it sad that I drove to Luling for some work stuff yesterday and I had no desire to stop in Lockhart for BBQ? I mean, 10 years ago that would have been the highlight of my day. I guess it's a good thing that we have so many more good options but it kind of made me feel vaguely depressed.
I have a friend who you might call a statuesque blond, at least in her youth. She's a really fun person and a great athlete who doesn't take any shit. She worked for whatever bank that was just south of GM and had to go to that branch for some reason one day. As she was walking by GM the guy says "Hey Barbie, why don't you come in and have a cheeseburger?" She looked over at the window and "splat" pickle. She, or course, flinched and it pissed her off. She had no idea about GM so she headed for the door ready to give them hell and walked in to find about 30 people in line and everyone was looking at her.
She said she just put her head down and headed for the bank. She ended up going in and getting a burger a few weeks later and became a fan.
Seems like a flaw in the barrier if a stray tire can climb it. I always wondered if I saw something like that if I could maneuver so as to knock the tire over without fucking up my truck, but I can't see any way to do it safely.
Nothing changes. I saw it 20+ times while I was in. Maybe 2 lasted and they had issues. Fast forward to my friends kids enlisting and lather, rinse, repeat. One kid is on his 3rd marriage at 27.
If any part of the ball touches any part of the strike zone it's a strike. Thus if the ball crosses any part of the plate (black included) while between the bottom of the knee and 6 inches or so above the belt buckle it should be called a strike.
Felix: Why is there a $200 charge at the vet?
W: Flea meds for the dogs.
F: Remember last night when I told you to just get a prescription and I can order them from Costco for less than half the vet price?
W. I do now. I'll return them.
F: I doubt it.
W: They won't take them back.
F: You don't say?
In her defense she actually apologized profusely and said "I hate it when I do stupid shit like that." I almost died trying to keep my mouth shut.
I've always though that, depending on the industry of course, that most employers would rather an otherwise qualified employee pass the test. I work in healthcare and I can guarantee that a good percentage of both clinical and non-clinical folks are relaxing at home with a toke or two. Of course they actually understand why MJ being illegal is incredibly stupid. Doctors in particular get a little riled up about it.
Now if you're on opioids that's a way different story.
I'm sure you've done more research on it than I have so I'll defer to your knowledge. That was based on some things I had read in the past and anecdotes so very well could be wrong.
My understanding is those drug store tests are actually much more sensitive than the ones most testing centers use. I've known several people that pissed hot on the home tests and then passed an employment test a few days later. They all figured they'd fail but all passed. They had all been abstaining for at least a couple of weeks and still failed the home test.
I know it can stay in your system up to a month but most studies find that you're clean enough to pass most tests in fewer than fourteen days. Even for chronic users of the chronic.
In Korea back in the late 80's early 90's we still loaded Beehive rounds on our tanks. You could dial in the range on the round and then fire it from the main gun. 100 meters before the designated range it would come apart and release a shitload of fleshettes. I can't remember the number but I seem to recall 1500. Muzzle velocity was 1000 meters per second and max range was 2000 meters. Path of destruction was supposed to be around 50 meters wide at the designated range. Never saw one fired live but fuck being on the other end of that.
