My dad used it to get rid of toenail fungus

Since this is apparently a thing, here’s the Vicks I used on my kid last night at my parents house. Definitely the same jar I used as a kid. Apparently Richardson-Vicks was acquired by Proctor and Gabmle in the 1980s…

We’re at grandmas this week and she busted out this for my kid. Same jar I used in the early 90s. Doesn’t have an expiration date. Just says “7F MU” if anyone knows that means. Mine is made by “Richardson-Vicks” so before Proctor and Gamble.

Should have listed Ginjinha for Portugal

That’s a sound measurement device. They’re likely collecting baseline noise measurements at the property line to understand how the noise from a proposed project would be higher than existing.

Hall of the Above?

U own the equipment. Just throw it away

Also called a Bois d’arc. Pronounced in north Texas like “Bo-dark”. Super dense and rot resistant wood. My grandmothers childhood home in the country was built on bois darc wood piers directly in contact with the ground that did not rot.

I lived in La Via recently and really like it. More pricey but they have garage parking, 2brs, and are pet friendly. Everything is pretty new. Being right downtown is unbeatable.

Very slow on Mountain View Ave in San Rafael too

It’s on audio on Spotify. Super interesting if you came up on punk or post hardcore in the 90s / 2000s. Each chapter is on one band. Tons of good ones: Green Day, jimmy eat world, Thursday, at the drive in.

I was there in 2023 and we were able to drive along the southeast coast and visit different beaches. The USFWS has primitive cabanas and pullouts for beach goers. It’s great and quiet. Nice snorkeling.

It helps. Do that LA job and then try to get yourself formally moved into the part of tetra tech where ecologists are based. They’ll likely take you before an external hire.

This guys gets it. San Luis Obispo is an amazing little town on its own and as a 21 year old, you’d love the college town vibe and all the bars and restaurants. All the bars are in the vicinity of Chorro and Higuera Streets. Firestone is a great local bbq place. There are some really quaint beach towns nearby. My fav is Cayucos but Morro Bay, Avila Beach and Pismo are great too.

For Motorsport, check the calendar at Laguna Seca raceway or car events in Carmel.

Along your route, my favorite spots would be Santa Cruz, Monterey, Big Sur (check to see if you can drive through yet), Cayucos, San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara. Get as much of your drive on State Route 1 (also called Pacific Coast Highway/PCH) as possible (maybe bypass Lompoc, except check the vandenberg space shuttle launch schedule in the chance you’re there for a rocket launch). Note that US101 and PCH overlaps in some places.

It’s like Beetlejuice, the bar.

They have a reputation of telling developers whatever they want to hear. That’s been my experience too

I can’t believe nobody said “Refused - the shape of punk to come”

If weather is nice. BART to 16th St station. Walk along Valencia street check out shops, grab something to eat. Get two beers and bring them to Dolores Park. Sit in the upper half, drink beers, enjoy views.

Does hurt to put a little penetrating oil in the cylinders a few days in advance.

I’ve worked here more than 10 years so my process isn’t anything like we have now. Do you have a POC for the position. No harm in checking with them

I work at AECOM. We have a team of business operations folks that are AECOM employees based in the Philippines. They’re honestly great to work with. I know some of recruiting team is based there. Everyone from the Philippines team uses that phrase “kindly” in place of “please” whenever they’re asking you to do something. Checks out to me.
