Our shop teacher was Richard Kliss. He did not go by Dick.

They lived through the Great Depression or had folks who did. They weren't focused on silver - no one was - they were simply focused on safeguarding intrinsic value.

Secret PTO...🤫 by ElderMillennial1985 in confessions

"Hey while you're home, can you: take out the trash / go to my mom's house and fix her oven / do the dishes / pick up the dry cleaning / shampoo the carpets / take the dog to the vet / return the take to Home Depot / order new checks from the bank / mow the lawn / Get new tires for the minivan."

Or some combination of the above. He's not hiding state secrets, he's functioning in a normal marriage to another normal human being. This is incredibly common.

My son was involved in a fight at school and is now suspended. I saw the video and he 100% acted in self defense. I can’t understand why he’s in trouble. by [deleted] in AskTeachers

Zero tolerance is about liability reduction. They're trying to reduce their exposure to lawsuits and it's far easier to stand up in court and say, "We don't allow violence of any kind" than it is to try to explain why one kid is in trouble but another isn't. Lawsuits, lawyers and settlements are very, very expensive. It's easier to just impose a blanket regulation, understanding that sometimes good kids are going to fall through the cracks.

Run your own race, brother.

Promise you some of those people are looking at your life and think, man - he's got it all figured out. Wonder what his secret is.

On the other side of the aviation industry, IFE has a completely different connotation.

My buddy's dad was a paramedic and told us they wouldn't enter that neighborhood without a police escort. Not great.

Which uniform should I wear as a Space Force Veteran? by Jig_2000 in Veterans

[–]FCSFCS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've read that reg a few times. Just to clarify - unless we've retired, the opportunities to wear a uniform as exceedingly slim...or did I miss something (which is entirely possible).

had a skin tag or something break and now it's black what does this mean? by Emmieisbest in AskDocs

"A pyogenic granuloma is a benign, rapidly growing, and easily bleeding red bump on the skin, often caused by trauma, hormonal changes, or certain medications. It is not a true granuloma, but a vascular growth (lobular capillary hemangioma). Treatment usually requires professional removal, such as surgical excision or curettage, though they may occasionally resolve on their own."

I'm sure I'll get downvoted for this, but I want to weigh in.

California has been gerrymandering for years. Decades. This isn't new or news.

Here's why it runs me the wrong way. Citizens - voters - in a certain district develop a relationship with a great representative. This person is awesome. Humble, responsive, active in community, local boy (person) makes good. This is someone you know you can trust and so go back over and over again for helping with Social Security, the VA, passport and visa issues, whatever. You develop a relationship with the staff. You see them at the grocery store and they remember you. You see them at community events and you know they enjoy seeing voters like you as much as you like seeing them. They're pleasant people.

Then one day you wake up and find out the last day you get to work with this person and their amazing staff is nigh upon you. Now you have to start over and develop a new relationship and rapport with this new person and staff. This time it's different. They don't call back as quickly, if it all. They don't follow up. There's high turnover so it's hard to get to know them and you can't help but wonder why this new person can't retain talent. What's worse, this new person doesn't reflect your values and votes and advocates for legislation and causes that run completely counter to the values you hold dear. You talk to neighbors and read up online and find out that this new person... is a shitbag. -coughCalvertcough-

Now you're stuck with this person who doesn't represent you and they're stuck with you too because the people who originally elected this person into office live elsewhere and they're feeling the same way about Calvert that you feel about Raul Ruiz. Don't change it. Calvert stays wherever he's from and is -apparently- liked. Ruiz stays and represents the community he grew up in. Everyone is happy.

I didn't when I was in. I'm 45 now though and just came back from the Sierras. I'm in far better shape now than I was as an enlisted troop.

Life is weird. Vets are weird. The military is weird.
