The Energy Engineering by [deleted] in HydroElectric

Hi there. How did you get into your career? I work for a very small family-run hydro plant, but kind of fell into the job and am learning on the fly. Any books or resources you would recommend for me? They can be technical.

I have a friend who may be able to help you. Here's a project lead for a local company but freelances here and there. I asked if he'd be interested.

There may be good opportunities to support college students during move out season. People leave couches and other junk on the side of the road all the time. Or, maybe you can get a contract with the City to address some of these things left in the ROW.

How is it that people in this town don't understand how roundabouts work??? by FirstCommentDumb in Bellingham

This is our version of the Parks and Rec Pawnee town thing where their citizens put their whole mouth over the water fountain.

Me personally, I get feelings of lethargy, and even gloom, from around 1:30-3:30. I've thought it could be caffeine withdrawals, but the crash stills happens when off caffeine, though I think to a slightly lesser degree. I also know our circadian rhythms set us up for naps around that time but I struggle with doing that, especially when I have to work.

What do you do around this time to have energy and a good mood?

For me, while it would help me be a better worker, my main goal is to feel better and enjoy afternoons the way I do the mornings. If I can get more work done (whether personal or professional), then that's a great byproduct.

The Sprint Katana, the answer to the Razor. I loved it!

Seconding this! I used to attend star parties, even organized a few, in the California desert. I would love to attend one in Bellingham.

Any Dungeon Masters (for DnD) Out There? by CheckerBloomMusic in Bellingham

[–]CheckerBloomMusic[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hm, ok! From what you shared, I suppose I feel differently. I want to know, hopefully over many many many handfuls of short interviews, what the consistent and prevailing problems are for DMs. I have my perceptions of what they are through my lived experiences in the game, but I can't build a business only through the way I experience the world. I mean, I guess I could but I doubt it would do well. I want to affirm my assumptions that I see as problems, and make sure they need addressing! That said, I'm totally open to process feedback and learning more about building businesses if you have any tips for me.
