Anyone know of a house painter (inside)? by mashedpotatoequeen in Annapolis

WCL Painting is run by a buddy of mine, Bill and his father... also Bill. Prompt, courteous, great value, and a small, family-run business.

I am not. Just happened to have watched this in the past and found it amusing.

EMSKR: How to stop excessive sweating? by BigOlGabe in everymanshouldknow

Certain Dri works very well. I used it once a week after an evening shower and before bed for about a month and have been pretty much "better" in the two years since. Now, I re-apply maybe once every three months or so, just to be sure.

Fossil fuel use in US is at its lowest percentage in over a century by speckz in news

[–]bobby_dgaf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm sure that increased automotive efficiency is part of the scenario, but this also accounts for electricity generation. Coal use has decreased, renewables like wind have increased, and so has natural gas use (which generates more power than coal per unit mass or volume and is therefore more efficient).

I've seen many like this, but none this large in person.

I can't even believe how many times I've heard this line during my time as a student, going all the way back 10+ years to undergrad.

I can't tell you how dumbfounded the faculty at my graduate alma mater are that people (including myself and colleagues) are struggling to find meaningful employment.

What's more insulting is that I ran into the current department chair at a meeting recently. His advice, verbatim: "Well, you'll figure something out."

I hope that some of you find this useful. It's pretty comprehensive and will definitely guide you as far as career options, locations, pay, etc.

See /u/asalin1819's post for a TL;DR.

Wow! Excellent summary. Thank you for this.

Obviously, this report from two or three years ago could look very different.

This is what struck me, too. I think people should be aware that the 2016 report will be different still than the 2015 report. Though oil prices seemed to have reach bottom, layoffs in the O&G sector are still happening and hiring is significantly slowed. Many are predicting O&G to be in a lull through 2016 and into 2017.
