We have rubrics. Like if we’re asking for an AA degree, but a BS preferred, you’ll get tossed out if you don’t have an AA, you’ll get 1 point for an AA, and 2 points for a BS. But you’ll also get a 2 for a MA or DR.
It gets weird when it’s education and or maybe experience somewhere in the field… some people who write our job descriptions don’t think things through…
Steam cleaning urine is a bad idea. The heat will cause it to bind to the carpet even better and make it even harder to get rid of.
it’s obvious their pets handled the moving process poorly and have urinated in every room with carpet
Cleaning up pet urine can be really expensive depending on how bad it is. If it’s not just a few spots here and there, seriously consider ripping out all of the carpet and padding and living on the floor boards until you can get new flooring.
You should buy a black light. Nothing expensive, $20 or so. And shine it on everything with the lights off, urine glows. As a side note, anyone looking to buy a house, or even get a new rental should get a black light.
I brought this up a few years ago where I work. I want to have a team sanitize the applications before the hiring team gets to see them. Remove names, dates that can be used to construe an age, gender, etc. I hope this study helps me get my point across at next years EEO training.
I doubt it’s your name/ethnicity. It’s probably more that you’re over qualified and they’re afraid you’re going to work for 3 months before getting a better job better matching your qualifications. To be clear they shouldn’t discriminate because of over qualifications either.
I say this as someone who works in the public sector, for many years. Every year I have to go to an EEO training and they drill it home what we can and can’t consider. There’s no way they are managing to discriminate against white sounding names for a decade without someone blowing the whistle. I 100% guarantee some fox news watcher there is blowing the whistle for their 20 minutes of fame.
Remember it’s not the school that won’t pony up, it’s your local and state government that aren’t giving them an appropriate budget.
Also keep in mind that most grant money comes with stipulations. I remember many years ago (late 90’s or early 00’s) we got a big grant for computers in the classroom. Good chunk of money. But it had to be spent on computers, and only computers. Would have been nice to get some furniture to put them on. We had some in the back of the classrooms next to the sink, some we put 2 desks set front to front (it was not level) It was janky, but the computers were nice.
When Joe Biden and Congress enacted legislation in December that blocked a threatened freight rail strike, many workers angrily faulted Biden for not ensuring that the legislation also guaranteed paid sick days. But since then, union officials says, members of the Biden administration, including the transportation secretary, Pete Buttigieg, and labor secretary, Marty Walsh, who stepped down on 11 March, lobbied the railroads, telling them it was wrong not to grant paid sick days.
“We’ve made a lot of progress,” said Greg Regan, president of the Transportation Trades Department of the AFL-CIO, the main US labor federation. “This is being done the right way. Each railroad is negotiating with each of its individual unions on this.”

It’s about $50 a month. Nothing gets released at my house, which is nice. I’m a little out of my depth with the chemical reaction, but the idea is inside the tank are a bunch of resin beads impregnated with stuff calcium and magnesium ions will bind to. So as water flows through the tank the calcium and magnesium is removed and stored in the beads. So the beads store it, but can’t store an infinite amount. The tank gets switched out every 2 weeks and culligan takes the old tank back and reverse the process. I’m sure this involves nasty stuff, but hopefully economy of scale and regulations make it a cleaner process than just dumping the salt in the ground.
Brine discharge can be pretty bad for the environment, so we do some tank exchange thing with Culligan. Every other week they install a new tank and remove the old one to be recharged. Working great so far.
So I’m trying to get some info about an upcoming medical procedure. I wanted to make sure I get a balanced view so I asked 2 doctors, 2 people who once took a first aid class once at summer camp, and 2 who believe vaccines cause autism.
I’ve had success with trivial things, like write a log file parser with this pattern, or give me a basic 3 part left-right-center header in html. Works ok for trivial side projects. I would never trust it in production. Its a tool, nothing more at this point. Like an electric drill, better than a hand crank, but you still need to know how to use it.
$650 HOA? I don’t even like my $35/month HOA.
Bachelors in Computer Science… Never made the connection.
It’s software that lives in the hardware. It provides low-level control and functionality specific to that device. It runs on the hardware itself, not the CPU of the computer.
For example, a hard drive. We don’t want the OS to have to know how to interact with every type of hard drive. Seagate does things differently than Western Digital, an SSD works very different than a hard drive, etc… The OS sends the same commands to all types of hard drives, but each hard drive needs to know how to actually comply with the commands. If the OS is asking for a dozen different files all over the drive, it would be dumb to try and read them all at the same time. The OS doesn’t really know where they are on the spinning disk, but the drive does. Firmware written specifically for the device can do a much better job planing how to fetch the data so the read head doesn’t need to go back and forth a bunch of times, but instead make one good pass fetching all the data as it comes to it.
Hope that helps.
Or even the equipment. Some people are stuck with a hot plate and a tiny minifridge.
Not really. Greenhouse gases don’t absorb all wavelengths of light. Generally they only absorb parts of the IR spectrum. The 50-70% of light reflected isn’t absorbed by greenhouse gasses because it’s not in a wavelength that it can absorb, it mostly radiates back into space.
The ice isn’t to cool the water, the ice is to reflect most of the incoming light.
Sea ice keeps the polar regions cool and helps moderate global climate. Sea ice has a much brighter surface compared to many other Earth surfaces, particularly the surrounding ocean. The darker ocean reflects only 6 percent of the sun’s energy and absorbs the rest, while sea ice reflects 50 to 70 percent of the incoming energy.

Insurance helped with most of it. It was cheap, I paid a little extra for the fun drugs.
I would recommend The Crew: Mission Deep Sea over
The Crew: The Quest for Planet Nine, same idea, but with more polish.
Every republican and probably joe manchin too so clearly both sides are the same.
