  1. D'oh! So much for the best and brightest... meant to say "Microsoft Is Simple". There's the misperception that people getting H-1Bs are paid less than American workers, and that's simply not true. The company has to advertise the position for 60 (?) days to see if there are qualified people to fill the position, AND, the company has to pay a prevailing wage for the position. I know that because I was paid the same shitty amount as my American-born coworkers. All this talk about lower pay, indentured servitude is bullshit. Whoever who parrots this needs to get their facts straight.
  2. Had a few friends in that major. Basically it was learning Microsoft Access. Not even SQL. We called it the “Microsoft Is Easy” degree.
  3. So catching up on this thread... I actually agree with Elon and Vivek in the sense that we should be offering work visas to the best and brightest. Then again I'm biased because I came to the US on a F-1 (student visa), was recruited and got a H-1B > green card > citizen, yada yada. Was I the best and brightest best in my class? Probably not, but definitely in the top 10%. Looking back, I got lucky because in the mid 90s, everyone was going for an EE, CS or MIS degree and there was a death of civil engineers. From several economic podcasts, there are a lot of fucking brilliant foreign students doing PhD level research in the US that are looking to move to Europe because they don't think they'll get a H-1B visa. Retain the best to keep the US at the forefront of scientific research. Let the MAGA prom queens serve you wings at Hooters.
  4. I have a man crush on Carlos. NTTAWWT Also, he’s been a good team mate and a professional the past year. That goes a long way.
  5. Must no CR Must not CR Must not CR
  6. X 2,5,1,4,3 1 and 2 are interchangeable.
  7. Are you watching the Lord of the Rings Trilogy? Like I tell my kids, pee before the movie/car ride/flight, even if you don't have to go.
  8. You sit in an aisle seat in the movie theater?
  9. Nose looks crooked and potential snaggletooth. WNB.
  10. I’ve made the drive from LA to Vegas in 3 hours. I idea how I managed that. OTOH, we drove home from Vegas to LA yesterday afternoon. Traffic in the other direction was miserable. Would not be surprised it took them 6+ hours. (My record is 9 hours).
  11. My company is building a football performance center, aka practice building and fields. Trust me, they are NOT broke when it comes to their football program.
  12. I’m going to sleep in my own bed tonight after a week of travel.
  13. Reminds of this
  14. Ferrari gave Sainz the car he drove in his first Grand Prix win. https://www.si.com/fannation/racing/f1briefings/news/carlos-sainz-gifted-his-first-grand-prix-winning-car-in-heartfelt-ferrari-farewell-01jfykfybnk6 Pretty awesome of Ferrari for doing that. But they should’ve signed him for another 2 years instead of bringing in Hamilton.
  15. Username and what not.
  16. My wife is a sexual camel. A good, long, neighbor-waking moaning orgasm can last her a solid month. Then I spend the next month in the desert thirsty AF. Occasionally she’ll succumb to my advances, but it takes a whole day of perfect behavior on my end to get her wet
  17. Coming back from our ski trip, my wife booked a hotel called Fontainebleau (in Vegas). Never heard of it, it’s far away from the main hotels, and across the street from Circus Circus. Suffice to say, my expectations were really low. But it’s actually really really nice on the inside I’d put it a bit below Aria, and above some of the more established hotels which have become a bit dingy (looking at you Venetian). Would definitely stay here again next time we drive out to Utah
  18. So glad I got to see Junior Brown at the Continental Club many many years ago. Is Junior Brown and the Continental Club still around? And in the spirit of the thread, I loathe anyone who says “Where ya at.”
  19. 4” of fresh powder on the last day of our ski trip even though there was none in the forecast. Wish it had arrived on the first day, but still awesome for the kids (and me) to learn how to ski on powder. Also my daughter picking up skiing really quickly. She switched from snowboarding to skiing last year and was doing easy blues in 3 days. She is crushing blues now with the instructor saying she’s ready for black diamond runs.
  20. Yup, we got a solid 7 years out of it before gifting it to our friend. It was well built and I wouldn’t be surprised if some kid is still playing with it.
  21. I still remember 12/24/13, building that damn play kitchen. Started at 10, and finished a 3, with several drinks and “she better play with this shit until she’s 15” along the way.
  22. Turn down the static electricity around your boy.
