    Apple (TV) Event today - 3/25/19

    What quality problems have you had? When we signed up last summer the audio quality was awful as was non-live content, but since both of those are quite good. We are considering dropping them for another reason (besides the cost increase): the DVR cannot be relied on to record anything...

    Northern BBQ vs Southern BBQ

    Our old neighbors were from Cuba and built one from scratch in their back yard. They only cooked pigs, but I swear it was large enough to handle a full cow. They had at least 1 blow out pig roast a year with maybe 50 people. At one point they were having problems with their neighbors..said...

    Foreflight is now Boeing

    Of course not. That is always the message to the peons and customers. But as soon as "short term" ends, things more often than not go down the tubes. Have you ever been part of a startup/small company bought by a large behemoth?

    Owners, how do you deal with inactivity? (A rant)

    With the recently rising prices, I had been kicking myself for not stretching the budget to buy last summer. But looking at how busy I have been at work and how dismal the weather has been, I guess I would have been kicking myself for other reasons instead if I had bought. I did get pretty...

    [NA] Interview aftermath

    I find it endearing that in the P&G offices everything is still very clearly their brands. Bounty paper towels in special dispensers in the rest rooms for example.

    [NA] Interview aftermath

    Ah! Thats why we have different approaches: different industries. I can absolutely see why a law interview might require something both handwritten and a major demerit if not sent. Law requires following the rules. I have always worked in groups that are customer-facing techie, so its a...

    [NA] Interview aftermath

    If you won't read it, don't expect someone to send it and certainly don't deduct points if they do not. Solution: take those precious 30-120 seconds to actually read it. Why is your time worth so much more than theirs? I've been on the hiring side of the interview table quite frequently in my...

    Airbus Ceases A380 Production

    ackshually... the "i" stands for intercontinental. :D I seem to get stuck on 737s and A320s for most of my travel, but I got to fly a Luftansa 747-8i last month in premium economy and it was a pretty enjoyable experience.

    [NA] XL tires

    What is the actual load rating for each tire? There should be a number in the 80-100 something range on the sidewall.

    That one does have a $14k prop mod on it. So maybe equally as bad?

    DSLR purchase help

    Yep, EF and EF-S. When an EF-S is mounted, the camera automatically goes into crop mode. The new crop mirrorless lenses (EF-M) are not supported.

    NA - Terminating employees

    Or was hired by a previous manager. I had to let someone go in this situation recently. Was high on my priority list to let them go when I took over the team but it was still hard. Was the bottom performer on my team by far and to make it worse was suprised he was let go. I had been working...

    Yahoo is part of OATH

    I got it setup up today. Bit of a hassle since my NS records were apparently pointing to the old dyndns service I used to use years ago when I ran a home server. The FastMail support rep was great as was the Dotster support rep.

    Yahoo is part of OATH

    Took a quick look. Seems to be just what I was looking for. Thanks for the tip.

    Yahoo is part of OATH

    I'm now looking into doing this as well. Migrating off OATH/yahoo (and likely gmail) is on my list for this summer and summer is passing by rapidly. I was going to use proton as well, but I want to have 2 full accounts (me plus wife) each with aliases and eventually another full account for my...

    BasicMed and mild red/green color blindness

    I thought BasicMed was a pass/fail. Your doctor either signs you off or they don't. They don't sign you off with limitations like a 3rd class. Anything that may come up as a concern during a BasicMed exam should be discussed with the doc and it is up to you to self certify for every flight...
