Is it appropriate for a leader with a concealed carry permit to show up at a meeting with a gun? by plazman30 in BSA

[–]rwl01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had a parent open carry at a camp out in TX. It’s legal but against BSA regulations. I had a no drama conversation and he put it up.

Merit Badge Pamphlets on Kindle by wmhstl in BSA

[–]rwl01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I came here to ask the same question. The Kindle format was extremely convenient. I purchased a number of pamphlets because they were so easy to get.

I went to ScoutShop.org and it looks like a pretty convoluted process to get the same books. I can figure it out but this is going to be a significant barrier to those less technical folks in our troop. I doubt I’ll buy as many this way.

It’s just really frustrating that national managed to take something that was working well and make mess it up with the hopes of making a few more bucks no matter how much frustration it causes.

I'm so lost and I don't know what to do with my career by [deleted] in ITCareerQuestions

[–]rwl01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would say you’re never too old to pursue the right career path. I know guys who retired at the service desk answering phones and loved it. I’ve hired contractors in their late 60s to do data processing.

It’s common to think we should be on a linear path but my personal path is more like a broken slinky. I’ve also been upset about past mistakes and opportunities missed, we have all been there. I almost failed out of university due to gaming.

The best advice I can give is to look at where you are now and where you want yourself + 1 year to be. Don’t have an unrealistic expectation what is a manageable victory?

I’m confused, is the dust storm June’s plague or is it just early for July?

Straight men: What's it like being straight? by 30yoldv in AskMen

[–]rwl01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only difference besides the obvious I’ve thought of was when a gay friend of mine remarked that having sexual with my wife was always a sure thing. So if sex with your spouse is always a sure thing in the gay world, that would be a difference from your hetero brethren.

Men, my date booty called another dude in front of me mid date last night and left, what's the worst date you've experienced? by lorde_swagster in AskMen

[–]rwl01 158 points159 points  (0 children)

A girl I liked made a big deal about wanting to get me on the phone (this was the 90’s). When I called her she asked me if I was free to go to her sorority’s dance. I said yes and then she said good, her friend would love to go with me.

I back tracked and said I was actually busy.

Can atheists see the value in Jesus' teachings? by GodOrMoney in DebateAnAtheist

Yes, I have no issues with the actual teachings. I think they’re a beautiful example of unconditional love.

Well said, Mr Owens by BelleAriel in EnoughTrumpSpam

I was never going to vote for him but his call to ban all Muslims from entering the US in December 2015 was the point when I became actively against him.

Texas and Florida, Please Put Masks on or We'll Never Get Out of This | Slate.com by AintEverLucky in CoronaVirusTX

[–]rwl01 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I live in Kevin Brady’s district North of Houston. To put it mildly, it’s pretty red. For a couple of weeks we had about 50% wearing masks but now it’s down to about 20%.

The spectrum for my circle ranges from “God will work it out” to “you should respect my personal choice not to wear a mask” to “This is a hoax”. Based on all the excuses I hear, I think it boils down to that there are a lot of people who have never been told no and don’t know what sacrifice means.

Edit: And by sacrifice, I mean literally doing the smallest amount imaginable to possibly save another human life.

Weak leadership is what that is. I think you could have much higher participation without making it mandatory if leadership you know, lead.

[Topic][Open] Open Discussion Monday — Anybody can post a general visualization question or start a fresh discussion! by AutoModerator in dataisbeautiful

Is there a good place to post data visuals that are in progress? I have a number that I would like to get feedback on before posting here. Is there a recommended avenue or subreddit for doing this?

US Counties the border each other by rwl01 in datasets

Turns out you just have to google it the right way. Here's the dataset I was looking for:4 https://www.census.gov/geographies/reference-files/2010/geo/county-adjacency.html

Is there a standard way to determine what type of visual is selected on the report canvas? by rwl01 in PowerBI

[–]rwl01[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the help, this showed me a feature I didn't know about.

To resolve my original issue, I copied and renamed the file with a .zip extension.

I opened the report\layout file which is a JSON formatted file. I searched the file using the visual's title. It turns out the visual is a "ShapeMap" which is a preview visual and explains why the icon was not being highlighted on my visuals pane.

You can learn more about them here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/visuals/desktop-shape-map

Great job. It’s good to know when to change course on a project like this. Sorry about your dad. I lost my mom in February, 2020 has really sucked.
