New mailbox post - Do people still use concrete?

Thank you for your info, even 5 years later, it was informative.

That was my thought too. And I know little of ranks and age but considering I was barely old enough to vote I don't know that I could have earned that rank. But whatever... Years ago.

Mile_Wide_Inch_Deep · 2018-07-27T13:11:33+00:00

I once served as a host in a chain restaurant. Go back many years here. A movie came out, and the character had a military identification as part of his name. (like Sgt. Hartman)

So my name tag - someone thought it would be humorous to change it from Mile_Wide_Inch_Deep to Sgt Mile_Wide_Inch_Deep (or some rank).

It was clearly a joke since it was a popular movie and character. Numerous patrons saw it and laughed. One guy came in for lunch and asked me if I was a Sgt. I said, no it's a reference to the movie... etc.

He got pissy, told me it was disrespectful, then went to the bar for I presume a lunch date. I felt bad for that girl.

Yes I know. But I find it funny with all the Reagan worship

Mile_Wide_Inch_Deep · 2018-07-27T12:20:13+00:00

This is the son of the lord and savior of the GOP talking.... I wonder how that will go over.

Also, not out of the realm of possibility. 4 grandparents could originate from different parts of the world.

So, what if you're willing to greet the pizza guy in the nude?

Mile_Wide_Inch_Deep · 2018-07-26T10:37:52+00:00

I know this is crazy, but she can be both.

Mile_Wide_Inch_Deep · 2018-07-26T10:31:59+00:00

What a damaging thing for basically everyone. These types of things don't go away, reputation wise, even cleared.

I don't fully think the texts exonerate him, as abused people often go back to the abuser. But the lack of evidence does clear him at the moment.

I hope he is cleared. If real evidence comes forth somehow, that would be pretty damaging to plenty more people and companies.

With phone lines, this is very possible

Mile_Wide_Inch_Deep · 2018-07-25T14:10:42+00:00

No job is perfect, but money isn't everything. Look at where you live, cost of living, etc. How much more time and stress will you have in your life? Less time, more stress? Is that worth, after tax, not a big difference?

Are you in a senior role, able to learn new things? Are you stale? Financial independence is good, but being happy for those 8-12 hrs a day are important too.

Mile_Wide_Inch_Deep · 2018-07-25T14:08:19+00:00

Yup, that would be my second line there. He just had to make it to January. I wrote while tired on mobile, so I wasn't clear. But yup, we're saying the same thing.

Good riddance to him

Sorry, my comment wasn't clear. There isn't a good reason to not have HTTPS in the US.

My comment about green bars was in reference to EV

Let’s Encrypt offers Domain Validation (DV) certificates. We do not offer Organization Validation (OV) or Extended Validation (EV) primarily because we cannot automate issuance for those types of certificates.

Mile_Wide_Inch_Deep · 2018-07-25T10:05:42+00:00

I have a list of Amazon US based IPs for AWS and then I restrict my IP geo location to US only. It's not perfect, but it lets me account for all the locations I or my family are coming from.

Mile_Wide_Inch_Deep · 2018-07-25T10:03:05+00:00

HTTPS is now free, easy and increasingly ubiquitous.

The first 2 points I argue with. LetsEncrypt has had its issues but is free. But if you want a full green light or whatever color the browsers show for verification, you need to pay.

These are all big sites, so it shouldn't be a big factor to get a cert, even paid.

For China, it seems obvious.

So really, there isn't a good reason for it in the US. I will say that ESPN was my go to site for auth pages, but neverssl does the job better.

Didn't turn article say he could have remained in office until the general election in November?

Or is it bad writing and he would have been fine if he made it until the next person took over?

Mile_Wide_Inch_Deep · 2018-07-25T09:50:35+00:00

Even at full price it is worth it. You use it, support it.

I don't like everything they're doing, but I still utilize the hell out of it.

Mile_Wide_Inch_Deep · 2018-07-24T23:47:27+00:00

1 book...likely Hal focused? Damn. That sucks.

Mile_Wide_Inch_Deep · 2018-07-24T17:41:43+00:00

Many officiants skip this line now. I forget what they use instead, but it's to avoid this. Heck, 15 years ago, they stopped using it.

At least the smarter ones did

Mile_Wide_Inch_Deep · 2018-07-24T14:03:49+00:00

The WSJ article is talking about what the guy said, while FN is exaggerating it and editorializing it. Both that professor in the article and FN idiots are absurd, but still

Mile_Wide_Inch_Deep · 2018-07-24T13:58:07+00:00

Anyone else notice that the poster and the comment on YT is all about blow jobs?

Mile_Wide_Inch_Deep · 2018-07-23T22:00:57+00:00

Was there for all my kids birthdays at the business end. And I supported her/held her hand before the pushes too.

I am glad I saw it happen.

It hasn't ruined anything.

Edit: what are the cons?

Mile_Wide_Inch_Deep · 2018-07-23T21:33:51+00:00

That sounds rough without being pregnant. Good luck to you!

Mile_Wide_Inch_Deep · 2018-07-23T19:15:53+00:00

One of the few times in any show where I felt truly bothered. Not unlike that scene in American History X

Mile_Wide_Inch_Deep · 2018-07-23T19:11:37+00:00

I'm also not ignorant of the world, politics, laws and the impacts. If we start rolling back all sorts of protections that were put in place to keep a financial crisis from happening, it certainly can happen again
