China to see biggest millionaire exodus in 2024 as many head to U.S.
  • It really depends, millionaire in NYC? Dime a dozen, millionaire in Mexico, NY? They would be able to mess with local politics, screw up the housing market, etc. And I really mean multi- millionaire but that's what I assume would be coming this way from China, not someone with 1-1.5 million, but a couple times that at minimum.

  • What to know about Louisiana's new surgical castration law
  • I for one am for it but I bet they don't castrate priests or public figures because "they're not the problem", it's those "other" sexual predators (democrats). Because they don't realize that it's largely a conservative problem, I'm not saying there aren't liberal sexual predators (there's tons) but the numbers lean heavily one way.

  • Have you ever come back to a company after leaving (e.g. a few years later)? How did it go?
  • I worked at the same company for almost exactly 12 years, I was so burned out that I didn't just leave to a similar role, I changed fields. After a year and a half I was nearly broke and went back to my abusive ex, despite a healthy pay bump I left again after a year and haven't done anything tech related since.

  • A new run I built for my chickens
  • I have thought about it, I'm considering adding netting but what I've looked at is pretty expensive for the area I've fenced in plus I would need to come up with supports, either wood or possibly pvc or metal hoops. In trying to keep this as low cost as possible considering I've already spent a couple thousand on this project in the 2 years I've owned chickens. Buying eggs at the store is far more practical.

  • A new run I built for my chickens

    We lost several chickens this year to predators so no more free roaming. My old run was too small for the flock so I fenced in what used to be our garden and turned it over to the dinosaurs. The old run will accommodate our pullets until they are bigger and can run with the rest of the herd.

    Just a random 3" screw in a freshly opened box of 1-5/8"

    I thought maybe I had accidentally put the screw in there myself but my only other box of this color I bought is 3-1/2"

    Gave our silkie mix pullets some time outside yesterday.

    They are going out to the run in the next week or two, I am building a new run for our older chickens this week so we can keep them separated for now.

    Somehow (through no fault of my own) I was not fired today...

    Long story short, I'm a security guard and after a couple of months decided that with a history of suicidal ideation I probably shouldn't carry a pistol, I told the doctor at my work, they said I could no longer carry a pistol and I figured they were going to bring me in today (yesterday now), fire me and that's that. Well, somehow I was not fired, I got in at 1:30, sat for 2.5 hours waiting for something to happen and the people who should have done the firing just went the fuck home... So, I continued to sit. I sat until 9:00 when I was told to go collect trash from the various guard posts. Ok. Then they told me to report in tomorrow at 7:30am (I don't work at 7:30) and they would have me working days until "my issue is resolved". So tomorrow I'll just let them know that it's not going to be resolved, hopefully they can me then, if I quit I cannot claim un-employment. This is weird as hell because I may end up in a stalemate as a glorified janitor until I can find another job and resign.

    Another chick picture, we picked up 6 silkie chicks today.

    We would have had 24 with these guys but we lost a hen last week to a predator so 23 it is (for now). The plan is basically to add 6 (NY minimum for buying chicks) every year and expand the coop as needed.

    Is CED worth collecting?

    Hello, I am looking at a CED player and 50 ish discs for $50 on Marketplace, I an interested in the format and have a small laserdisc collection, I know CEDs are lower resolution and most discs only have mono audio but I like oddball stuff like that. The seller did not mention if anything works but replacement belts seem fairly inexpensive though a replacement sytlus is pretty spendy if needed. Any advice you could give would be appreciated. Thanks.

    How fucking dare they. Talk about a movie that doesn't need a sequel. Bill Paxton's ghost does not deserve to be taunted like this.

    A new work bench I'm building for my wife out of pine

    I know it's pretty basic but doing the laminated top has really been kicking my butt. I chose to make it from pine as she repairs rugs and sometimes needs to nail them to her bench and this should be easy to nail into and pull the nails back out of. I'm going to apply some poly to the top and hopefully I can finally sign off on this project.
