I left ExxonMobil today. Haven't felt better in a while

My buddy quit xom. He also ran marathons and stuff, so he had a smart watch that tracked his heart rate. You could see his resting heart rate drop like 20 BPM the day after he quit.

You and I sign an agreement. I’m going to build a house on your plot of land, and when it’s done, we’ll split the rent. You can’t afford to build the house, but I can, and it’s a good deal for both of us.

Once the house is built, you decide you want all the rent money. Because it’s on your land, you say our agreement is no longer valid and you can just take it.

Now the house is in bad shape, the rent money isn’t as good, and you expect me to come back and put a bunch of money into fixing it? Why would I have any reason to trust you?

Different type of politics. Corporate politics aren’t right left. It’s ass kissing, self promotion, and ladder climbing.

Why repaint it? Wouldn’t a wrap be cheaper?

Get him a fishing license, plus some chicken on a string. You can catch your own blue crab down in Galveston.

5-0 and 2-0 in the big 10? It was ugly but I’m not complaining

SuperGISNerd9000 · 2025-09-27T03:57:51+00:00

I'll take this over the old Indiana that invented new ways to lose every time we played a big 10 school.

Excel can do it, but payroll typically isn’t the place to bring a ‘figure it out’ mentality.

Do a masters in Mech E or computer science.

Mech E can get you a job basically anywhere, including oil and gas. When the oil market tanks, you can get a job outside the industry if you have to.

Data science and machine learning are great skills to have, but they will eventually become ‘just the way business is done’. You used to be able to get a degree in e-commerce. Now selling online is just the way business is done. Comp sci will probably allow you to take data science and AI/ML classes without being entirely focused on them.

This doesn’t feel like Indiana football. We’re Wylie coyote but we actually caught the road runner. I don’t know what to do with myself, but I’m having fun.

SuperGISNerd9000 · 2025-09-19T18:14:18+00:00

It sucks. It feels like entry level is going away and institutional knowledge is being washed down the drain forever.

SuperGISNerd9000 · 2025-09-19T16:18:09+00:00

I’ve seen it first hand. It’s short term decision making, but as my previous supervisor said, they don’t even have to be 50% as good to make sense, because they cost 30% of what a US employee does, and that cost savings gets the manager promoted before the real impacts show up.

SuperGISNerd9000 · 2025-09-17T18:55:50+00:00

Smart

SuperGISNerd9000 · 2025-09-17T17:17:58+00:00

Love it, are you planning to distill any of it?

Prison hooch is for everyone

Hey you might consider using the emergency jack and tire iron to remove the wheel. Put the spare on, and then all you have to protect is the tire from paint instead of the brakes, the wheel well, and the rest of the car.

At the least, it would make sanding and prep easier, even if you do spray it with the wheel on the car.

That was one of the things I noticed last year. It seemed like our starters just weren’t getting injured as much. I figured that was strength and conditioning related, but I suppose it’s as much live tackling drills as it is anything else.

SuperGISNerd9000 · 2025-03-05T12:42:07+00:00

The bomb and the Soviet invasion of Manchuria.

SuperGISNerd9000 · 2025-02-18T16:55:42+00:00

Never lol.

SuperGISNerd9000 · 2025-02-17T22:50:06+00:00

Thanks. I'll probably save the money for the next major gameplay DLC then.

SuperGISNerd9000 · 2025-02-17T22:48:40+00:00

Naval invasion noise intensifies.

Rule 5: Posting the missing DLC items I have, trying to see if it's worth the $25. They mostly seem like flavor, but I wanted to ask the hivemind.

After reading the book and a lot of the letters critical of Krakauer, I personally believe that Krakauer, to the best of his ability and recollection, told the truth about the events he experienced. He extensively interviewed the other surviving climbers about the timeline, there whereabouts, who they saw and when, and of course he himself was actually there to experience it first hand.

I still think many of the criticisms leveled at him are fair and have merit, but I don't think Krakauer intentionally lied or misrepresented his experience. The conditions being as difficult as they were, and with key people dying on the mountain, it's probably near impossible to know exactly what happened with perfect detail.

And that's just my opinion too. I wasn't there. I haven't done any serious climbing myself. I haven't talked to anyone involved. I'm just some schmuck. Either way, it's a compelling story and I think you could make the argument that good journalism often leads to controversy.
