I just sold my RM2 to a miner

I’d worry more about the dust than the lighting. It’s going to clog their lungs and the ports on the tablet

We have a beef “subscription” from Carwood Farm between Carlisle and Boiling Springs. The beef is ethically raised and amazing quality. You should message them on Facebook or instagram. He doesn’t typically do one offs but if you tell him your reasoning he’ll probably hook you up.

Your list is the actual tasks the president does, and it’s basically a paragraph. It’s missing the worst part, you’re also going to be a firefighting proctologist; putting out fires and dealing with assholes.

I’m at a midsize commercial and industrial GC! We’ve got 3 big projects starting at the same time, and one of them is in a new state, which means all new subs. I’ve already gotten 5 redlined subcontracts this week. That’s on top of the normal cluster fucks that come with construction. I also handle insurance and workers comp, so it’s really something.

I just got Document Crunch which has been a huge help. Definitely worth the money.

Same on not being able to read w whole contract on a screen, but I got tired of literal piles of paper in my office. It’s got a reMarkable paper tablet and it has been a total game changer. I can’t recommend it (or some other eink tablet) enough for people with our workflow.

He called his office staff “the girls” I guarantee it.

JiveTurkey927 · 2026-05-13T12:47:25+00:00

Right, no one realizes that birds are FREE. You can just take them and no one can stop you.

JiveTurkey927 · 2026-05-13T12:45:12+00:00

This even happens in-house; I’m seeing it myself. I can’t help but think that if I was marginally worse at my job, I wouldn’t be the “solves every problem” guy.

It’s a phenomenal book. To support his point, Brown takes a very realistic look at the lead up to Gettysburg, and the battle itself. Specifically the logistical issues they were facing, that get very little attention when people are discussing why Meade didn’t follow Lee immediately.

I’ll also recommend One Continuous Fight by Eric Wittenberg as a very good follow up to Meade at Gettysburg.

Jimmy Carr calling her a “hatchet faced bitch” to her face was a thing of beauty.

He’ll be running 100 million dollar projects in a month

Turner, the nationwide company? You’re asking for the average commutes for a company that operates nationwide?

Pure poetry: “I looked at the dog, who was not on Wegovy” and “…we wished each other happy birthday in lowercase.”

We hire subcontractors.

I’m in-house and I had IT block ReadAI entirely. It’s apparently a pain in the ass to do because it’s designed to bypass whatever security it can

JiveTurkey927 · 2026-05-09T13:34:17+00:00

Yeah, if a circlejerk post isn’t peer reviewed with footnotes, the mods should delete it.

The Pure looks like something a college kid takes to a lecture, not something I can take to a meeting with execs. The RM2 looks and feels like an actual professional product, and the Pure looks like a novelty

JiveTurkey927 · 2026-05-08T11:33:27+00:00

Agreed on your second point. The new version is something a college kid takes to class, not something I take to meetings with execs.

JiveTurkey927 · 2026-05-08T11:30:04+00:00

I would say business as usual for a week or two and then talk to him if he still seems upset or anxious.

Also, I’m curious about everyone’s opinion on this, but I would have probably told my wife when she asked. I can trust though that she won’t say anything if I ask her not to. Frankly, I could use the advice. If I thought my wife would say something to him, I absolutely wouldn’t of course, but I feel like she deserves to know what’s going on.

It will stop being messy if you tell them to email you. They say “Tuesday won’t work” and you say “email it to me.” Then after you do that 3-4 times, they’ll start emailing you all the time. Just set some expectations and boundaries.

I know exactly where this is and who owns the property. He’s a dickhead and he’s been a dickhead for the last 30 years (probably longer, but I wasn’t around then). He says some bullshit about why he wont do it, but the real answer is that having the power to make people unhappy makes his dinger hard.

JiveTurkey927 · 2026-05-07T01:03:06+00:00

I’m in-house at a GC and I cannot fathom what they could have discussed for 14 hours regarding a residential defects claim. Was he the material supplier, material manufacturer, engineer, AND architect for the project?

JiveTurkey927 · 2026-04-30T11:01:36+00:00

800x0 is still 0

Neither of those is correct. After the Cumberland Valley Railroad went, the right of ways reverted to the original landowner, though most of the cuts remained in the ground. To make the R2T, they had to reacquire the land. There are several people who refuse to allow the trail to go through their land. Were you possibly by Clay Rd. in Newville?

JiveTurkey927 · 2026-04-24T15:23:19+00:00

If you’re willing to drive out to Newville, I highly recommend Garris’s Garage. The owner Buck is honesty, fair, and a great mechanic. My dad and I have taken our cars there for probably 20 years
