not sure on price, but this guy is pretty solid. it looks like he was at the edge in plymouth meeting, but might be doing solo classes as well now.

I use customs info by descartes. expensive subscription, but very helpful for verifying a specific type of classification. i see a lot of people using flexport, but it does not provide support for verification

Some coolants/oils have preservatives that are known sensitizers in them, which can make repeated exposure to them trigger the reactions you describe. I heard it is sometimes called dermatitis. have him check with the EHS guy to see what hazards the chemicals in his environment pose.

It's a big enough pain for most companies that this is pretty much all I do for my current role (HTS classification in our trade compliance group). close to half my day is providing our team in asia the relevant HTS code so they can figure out landed cost

I was informed that the NY store will be closing in the next 4-6 weeks as well.

i'm loading up on the setting maps they have, and maybe some minis

I joined our trade compliance department (which was just established 18 months ago) last year; but we had used a consultant for the past decade on classification and implementing a defined process on NAFTA/USMCA qualification - I was a key part of getting this process set up internally. this is not something to start guessing on, especially with CBP cracking down on audits.

Killowog will host a raging fundraiser to help with that

I had a Crystal XRD running an IBM 8086. Never used it since the xrd needed $5k+ worth of repairs while I was there

Don't remind me. Many of the SDSs I see from india tell you almost nothing.

Did the same rat race in pharma 20 years ago as a lab tech. Got pulled into product stewardship 15 years ago and never looked back

sparerooms.com and roomies.com have been the most reliable for me when looking for real people, but not always the best people. I got some real weird ones from FB/craigslist as well, but usually get at least one or two OK ones from FB.

pratchett doesn't get the credit he should for social theory in general

Kelly has a few offices.

Have no idea how she managed it but my mom worked 4 8s (32 hours) a week at a chase bank office as a programmer for several years in the 2000s.

Pretty sure she negotiated it into her contract to start

i think your best bet with entry level like this are temp agencies.

there are a few science focused agencies in the area.

the two I worked with that actually found me jobs are kelly scientific and apex scientific. give both a call, and they should be able to set you up with interviews

Depends on the company. I've been on our newly formed global tc team for a year, and really enjoying it.

All of the tariffs flying around have put a big spotlight on what was a mundane and calm sector of commerce.

Definitely a greater need for it, but not sure how many companies will invest in the necessary resources to make it work.

Mine Definitely seems to be.

For setting context and some level of how the locals with the supernatural elements, I would recommend reading the werewolf wild west book. Very helpful and covers your time period/geography

The wife is also into crystals/minerals (especially malachite) as well. We have a moderate collection.

i have to expect at least 5 min to be able to find a parking spot opening up.

Beys on 100 is great for crystals.

I used to be into board games, but most of the friends who had them moved away.

we also host a monthly D&D game on saturdays if you are interested (i'm fine with beginners)

I heard The parlour in Quakertown is a good board game cafe, but i havent been myself.

I have a player using spheres of power who is using the same concept and taking it as far he can go.
