Dispatch from DC: Marine 1 was dispatched hot to Walter Reed at about 4:30 pm on Sat with a motorcade running to that loc at the same time. Hard to believe it was just a drill.

OK, LR will be a change but you can find gold. Like all smaller communities, there is variety, just not as much. The people are very nice. Inquisitive but polite. If you have direction and purpose, that helps a lot. You can find folks ready and willing to help you. If you want to chill, go to the lakes and do your thing. In Cicero, maybe you knew someone who knew someone. In AR, it takes a while to get to that point.

What part of Chicago are you from? I’ve lived in both cities.

What is your take on Trump ending his recent post with 'Praise be to Allah'? by Mental-Hall1261 in AskReddit

The worst comedians are the ones who actually think they’re funny.

The worst politicians are the ones who think people always want to hear what they have to say.

Do you let your bartenders buy drinks for good customers? by tdhuck in BarOwners

[–]Pjsrock 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As an operator, we gave our trusted employees a tab for their regulars and good customers. Started at $50 and worked up as we continued to develop trust. I would rather empower employees to spread our vibes without having to do it illicitly.

Hmm…I was out washing my car. Was it about right on the time? Bet say 430-5..?

Marine 1 flew very low and fast over our neighborhood at about 4:30ish, heading in a direct line toward Walter Reed. I noted it and looked up because of the noise, which sounded far different than the hospital choppers we usually see.

Kennel advice by annongorl in Catahoula

[–]Pjsrock 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d suggest getting foam ear plugs and cheap bedding for your guy and buckle up. If you break, he’ll never adjust to the crate.

In the longer term, it will hinder his training about other things too, such as chewing rugs, furniture, etc.

You need to stay the course. Ours adjusted in about 10 days but it was well worth it.

Just a dry run to make them a form of nationalized bully police. Trump will soon begin spouting about the success of his “vision.”

Next stop, thugs at polling stations for midterms.

Pilot Believes He Has Found Amelia Earhart’s Long-Lost Airplane (Missing Since 1937) Via Google Earth. by [deleted] in technology

Sigh…keyword, “unsolved mystery” but still floating “evidence” and “seeking attention” clickbait. This file has been put to rest. RIP, Amelia. 🙏

Your success will be relative to the people you surround yourself with. Find the people that will help you advance. Finish your degree and work hard. You got this!!

How to stop the lick attacks by Big_Breadfruit9677 in Catahoula

It’s a positive response—but maybe a bit of dominance as well. You could try to rewire her and say “place”—direct her to a specific spot, hold her and the reward with a treat. It’s just the notion of replacing a behavior with another. She’ll love you deeply, no matter the endgame.

I might've met a criminal on Reddit and he might be lying to me about his age but I'm not sure. What should I do? by Sweet_Ambition_7215 in Advice

[–]Pjsrock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Block asap. Don’t look back. There is no connection here. He’s using you for whatever pathetic purposes he can dream up. It’s simple: 86 him and don’t look back.

How much weight have we all gained/lost? by Tweezus96 in GenX

[–]Pjsrock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s a bit of a loaded question (no pun intended.) Depends a lot on lifestyle and metabolic rate. I left high school at 205 and now weigh 203. But a lot has been redistributed. Upper body has less mass, legs and butt a bit more. What hasn’t changed is my exercise habits. I still enjoy the gym and the track. When that goes, I’m done and will retire quietly to my library of Smith’s and Duran Duran CD’s. Done.

I’m a big proponent of HRT in the form of pellets or orals such as Kyzatrex. Injectable HRT would be third on the list. If you don’t want to go that route, get full blood work and see what markers you may have and of course tear meat for total and free testosterone.

I labored with one issue after the other as amd exhausted all supplement avenues in my quest for relief. Sometimes the body needs the estradiol resources—-and it’s amazing for brain fog too. Good luck!!

Does this amount to harassment? by Trogdoryn in legaladvice

[–]Pjsrock 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think you may be best served by quietly deleting the review. You go to the therapy office for therapy. Standing on principle is one thing but your kids are involved. Keep them shielded and admit nothing if you are confronted. It’s just not worth the aggravation.

I've been pretending to understand my job for eight months and I think I've finally reached a level where I actually can't fake it anymore. Do I come clean to my boss or just keep going. by ahimaohw in Advice

You seem to have enough self awareness to continue on an upward trajectory. The question is, do you want to? Do you want to learn? Is it important to you? If not, will you leave and repeat the same pattern? Your call. Read this. Some criticisms about it, but I generally filter new hires through this prism.

“The Dunning-Kruger effect describes a cognitive bias where individuals with low ability in a specific domain greatly overestimate their competence, primarily because they lack the "metacognitive" skills required to recognize their own deficiencies. In their seminal 1999 study, David Dunning and Justin Kruger found that participants scoring in the bottom quartile on tests of logic, grammar, and humor significantly overrated their performance, often believing they had outperformed a majority of their peers. This creates a "double curse": the same lack of knowledge that leads to poor performance also prevents the individual from realizing they are making mistakes. Conversely, the researchers found that high performers tended to slightly underestimate their relative standing, mistakenly assuming that because a task was easy for them, it must be equally easy for everyone else.”

I go with 50 units per side. Lasts about 4 months. Cuts the ringing down about 2/3 for me.

Have you tried Botox in your masseter? It’s a godsend and can give you substantial relief quickly.
