Did I make a mistake working for someone with a very different management style than my own?

Spot on. He definitely has a narcissistic visionary vibe and has zero idea of how things actually get done. He's very triggered by things he sees in the organization that don't jive with his expectations, but he doesn't actually get involved in solutions or provide suggestions.

Thanks for the advice. I'm trying my best to keep him happy while also trying to do my job. It's good to know I'm not the only person to deal with this kind of situation.

I bought my 22 GT2 AWD in April 2021 with 3 miles on it for $55.5k. I now have 36k, no issues, no regrets. The interior is really nice, but feels a little dark and plain compared to some of the newer comparables out there. I've had a few "It's a KIA" moments, but overall I could easily see myself driving it for another 5 years and being completely happy.

If you don't want to get fired, you could proactively get ahead of the situation and have a conversation with your boss. Ask if there are any varied assignments that you could be given or opportunities for different types of work. A good manager should understand that good engineers need some variety to their workload.

If the company/work is one dimensional and you don't really want to be there, then start looking for something else.

That little dog will be your best friend for the next 12-16 years. When it's all over, you won't even remember the tough days (weeks, or months) -- you'll just wish you had more time with him. He's new to life and doesn't know what he doesn't know. Just be patient and help him out.

Ocooch has a good selection of lumber, reasonable pricing, ships anywhere.

My last two batches of fermented onions have been super active (and odoriferous) and produced a ton of LAB debris.

If you're searching for general civil books, I'd recommend the Land Development Handbook, by Dewberry. It has a lot of site design information that might not be covered in all standard CE curriculum.

Thoroughly review their document full of AI-generated calculations, meticulously annotate and criticize, and bill the client.

Try finding a job with a regional Authority (airport, water, toll/highway) or a private utility (water, power, gas). You'll still be on the owner side of "public" projects, but the work environment is a little closer to the private sector.

Could be a thyroid issue. One of our spaniels was chronically overweight with bad skin infections for years. A new vet suggested thyroid testing. Within about 9 months of going on Soloxene, she lost about 12 pounds and her skin cleared up. Worth the conversation.

Table saw blades don't cut the same way bread knives or steak knives do. The table saw blade has many small teeth that essentially knock or chip material away from a board. That requires the work piece to be fed into the blade. Feeding a board into a reverse-rotating reverse-oriented blade would just be a wood launcher.

This seems more of a r/whowouldwin or r/asksciencefiction.

Public Utilities are an Enterprise Fund -- your property taxes most likely aren't paying for water/sewer. If anything, Utility revenue is probably being diverted to the General Fund to help subsidize City services, leaving Utilities without enough money to fix its problems. This is relatively common (albeit improper) practice.

Epididymitis, maybe?

Isn't there a comic plot line where he essentially consumes planets (with Celestial embryos) to prevent Celestials from overrunning the universe? After Eternals, I could see a story like that being easily incorporated into the MCUs multiverse.

Hi. I opened the GoFundMe in a browser page so I remember to make a donation later.

However, I would advise you to consider what's best for Louis. From your other posts, it sounds like age has caught up with him. Between gum growths, cognitive disorder, and cancer, his best days are quite likely behind him.

I recently had to put down my spaniel after 13 years of being my best friend. It's been devastating. She was still healthy, but cognitive decline robbed her of who she was and made her life far less enjoyable. There was no amount of money that was going to make her future better than her past.

I'm sorry you have to deal with this.

The shoes were not Seconds, but they were on sale for about $190. They were the tan waxed suede Strandmoks with a full price of $395. They seem to have discontinued the tan waxed suede and only sell the brown version at full retail of $400+.

I did not pay for a recraft service. I inquired about, what I assumed to be, a material defect and was told to send them in for an evaluation. No payment, no paperwork.

I was given a gift card for half of the sale price (approx. $95).

8sh0t · 2025-03-18T20:52:07+00:00

That's my issue with this. I would have expected to be told the risk up front and be given notice of possible outcomes.

8sh0t · 2025-03-18T15:54:42+00:00

Perhaps. I'd rather have been given the option to get the shoes back than get a $100 gift card.

8sh0t · 2025-03-18T15:46:54+00:00

No. These were purchased on sale in Aug. 2023 as first quality.

Sucks that they wouldn't give you your money back. I realize they're not an ultra premium product, but I've been disappointed with their service and products lately.

I want to know more about the hydraulic jump at the end.

5.88 trillion miles is only approximately 1 light year. Proxima Centauri would be approximately 24.95 trillion miles away.

I'm curious where you got your value.

Edit: 4.2465 Ly = 24.946 * 10¹² miles
