ahh ok that makes sense i guess. I wanted to look into the company myself
Also there are times the company will start the recruiter/hiring process when they are about to lay someone off. I'm the only person in my company with my job title so if I saw an open position listed with the same title, I'd know something was up.

Generally the recruiter will at least tell you the industry during the first phone call. Once you get deeper into the process, they'll tell you the company name. Also just to let you know, this first call with the recruiter isn't really an interview, it's probably fluff. Often the recruiters I talk to like this aren't technical(I remember you being a software dev) so they can't answer any technical questions you may have about the job. They are the type to ask you if you have experience with Microsoft Office even though you listed on your resume you knew Word, Excel, PP, etc.

I'm jaded enough in my IT career that they need to provide the job listing and salary range up front before I even take a call with them.

Once as a teen, I raced my friend on a back country road. We hit 120 on the 55mph road so 65 over.
So so stupid and immediately regretted it that night.

Yes. Most recruiters won't list the company name. Among other things, it prevents you from applying directly to the company which makes the recruiter lose out on pay. They don't get paid until they place someone in a job.

Very common for temperature shock to kill fish. I was always told as a kid when buying fish to sit the bag of water with the new fish in the tank so the temps can balance out.

Fyi, same thing can happen with bunny rabbits.

This is even a plot point in the movie. His character is given a million dollar check to make an animated show but he instead completely blows that money on crap like relocating his dad's house to a foreign county while his dad is sleeping in it.

I have scoliosis which I feel may be causing some issues as I grow older. Also, I got a back injury and nerve damage in a car accident when I was 9. Required physical therapy and such.

So my back has always caused some issues. It has gotten worse as I get older and lazier. It's not quite to the point that I feel I need to seek treatment or anything. Just basically a mild ache most of the time, and some pain if do too much. Occasionally I'll get a catch in it that kind of puts me out of commission for a bit.

I don't think any of that is caused by my age(40), but it is making it easier to agitate existing issues.
Do you exercise or stretch at all Koga?

Those all you can eat sushi places are great. Yeah they aren't the best quality but it allows you to try different sushi and whatever other fried noodle/rice dishes they also offer. Like any other buffet style restaurant, how much you eat determines how good of a value it is. These places make their money from the people who only eat 1-2 plates of food.

Yes my rhomboid and scapula muscles are always hurting but I got stuff to massage them and they feel so good and cures them for the day but the pain comes back the next day.
That's from poor posture cause I have issues with those same muscles. No one ever taught me to sit up straight as a kid so my default is to slouch. Look over your desk setup from an ergonomic perspective. Are your monitors at the correct height? Chair position, how you sit in your chair, how you reach for your mouse/keyboard. Also take a couple minutes(seriously 2-3 minutes) every morning to do some basic stretches. Randomly stand at your side in the bathroom mirror a take a picture of yourself, you'll probably be shocked at how much your slouching. You'll need to be conscious every time you're walking of "am I standing up straight right now?"

Just to warn you, your back will hurt a lot when making these changes cause it's going against your default (bad) habit. You're retraining your body. Might take a couple weeks before the pain will go away.

I'd love to figure out how these are supposed to work but I can't figure it out. I have them set up but not sure what they are actually used for
So you set them up but have no idea what they are suppose to do?

They are apps that will sail the seas for you. Tell Sonarr to get Breaking Bad for you. It will sail dozens of sites for the t files of the show. Once it finds one, it will send it to your t download app. Your download app will drop it in a folder that your media player can be configured to scan and import new files. Radarr does the same thing but with movies.

The big benefit of this automation is currently airing shows. An hour or so after a new episode airs, it will go out and search for it online. You no longer have to keep up with when new episodes of your favorite shows air during the week

Synology has a very easy to use OS that includes an app store so you can install Plex and Docker. I have a 40TB 12 bay Synology I got from work that I use as my media server. Sonarr and Radarr Docker containers are setup on the NAS to automate all my sea sailing which then automatically imports into the Plex media app. Any device in the house can stream media from the NAS.

It varies depending on a couple of factors. Pickled ones all tend to be mostly but not entirely mild, but on the fresh side of things they can be anywhere from essentially bell peppers to I'd say about 70% or so of a haba.

If you buy the same brand/from the same grocer, they tend to have roughly the same level of spiciness, so it must be related to breeding or watering or something like that.

Anyway, yeah, they're definitely the shallow end of the spiciness spectrum, but a lot of people can't even handle those.
To add to this, a lot of the heat with jalapenos are in the seeds so if you cut out all the seeds, there's even less heat.

Mistere_Man posted...
I do, but to be fair my extreme is probably another persons wuss level.
And there's nothing wrong with that. Spice is relative so what heat level you can handle shouldn't be a competition.

Mistere_Man posted...
Oh I am not fond of ghost pepper things, but only because they always seem to have this bad barbecue flavor to them for some reason. It could be from the roasting, but I just really dont like that flavor. The heat is hot, but I like good taste with my heat if that makes any sense.
Ghost peppers do have smokey notes to them which might be brought out by roasting them. Idk I've never roasted ghost peppers but that could be the bbq flavor you're getting.
