  1. Fishing is complicated, there’s not a fresh water catch at least in the continental 48 that I would consider eating at this point. Even Rocky Mountain trout is laced with high concentrations of PFAS. It’s really demoralizing.
  2. That’s explains everything. He came unfucking hinged on me once, immediate ignore. I love tennis but stay away from that thread as much as I can, it’s one of his little corners on this site.
  3. Tech has a long history of weather / climate research. no prob. and I don't disagree with the premises that it's going to be hotter than satan's balls in the future.
  4. top level execs that's exactly what they get. everyone else, not so much. I can support your approach for everyone as well.
  5. real chicken, real turkey, no prob though I generally just avoid sausage - and a P Terribles chicken burger is not half bad. better off dead kitchen experiments though, yeah no thanks.
  6. I'm as doom and gloom as anyone, well not really, but I get shit is changing but I'm not really looking to Texas A&M for my climate science research tbqh. call it bias, don't care.
  7. lab grown is gonna take a while for me. but I keep asking my fam to have at least 2 vegetarian days a week (first for health reasons second environment). we don't eat a lot of red meat maybe once a month, but burgers yikes kids love em. chicken and pork are our go to's.
  8. As you probably know better than I do, often the strategy to intentionally breach a non-compete is to isolate the breach to just that and be really noisy and create a pristine record of complying with the confidentially, return of property, and non-solicitation clauses. There are plenty of judges who will see that rigorous compliance and simply not rule in favor of the employer seeking to enforce. It’s a way to mitigate the risk of a lawsuit. the juicy ones almost always have trade secret claims which is why this litigation won’t really go away. Well as others have said, it’s a small fraction of the total non competes out there.
  9. Non-compete lawyers aren’t a fiction, it happens. many of those cases will continue under breach of confidentiality and misappropriation of trade secret clauses. Yes many, many times.
  10. My wife has a commercial office building she’s selling. It’s leased NNN but taxes and insurance still are crazy. Add rate resets and it’s time to pivot. We likely won’t be immune from the same issues but we are migrating to warehouse space in another market.
  11. Well I’m not supportive of non-compete clauses that masquerade as non-solicitation clauses. As most well written contracts state, headings are meaningless. If it’s a non compete it’s non compete regardless of what it’s called. this development will put continued pressure on non-solicitation clauses and they should be focused on customers and clients the employee interacted with in the last say 12 months, and those prospective clients that the employee was actively involved with pursuing at the time they left. a non-solicitation clause has to leave room for the employee to legitimately work for a competitor in the same position. i haven’t read the details here to know if and how true non solicitation clauses will be impacted. I’m actually on a planning call with an exec and a future employer this week on how to circumvent his non compete and then this happened. My go to non compete litigator will be well versed and spoon feed me I’m sure.
  12. I asked why? So I google searched and found this: https://www.ojp.gov/pdffiles1/nij/230412.pdf most are emotionally possessive types, with substance abuse and access to guns. There is another rarer type over enmeshment that sees his family as himself and so when he goes they all have to go. Sick shit either way.
  13. I think non-solicitation clauses should be enforceable, obviously confidentiality and trade secret clauses too but straight up non-competes are bullshit - though high level executives it’s justifiable but those deals almost always come with a $1 for $1 severance package for the length of the non-compete. Looks like exec non-competes are still enforceable.

    Getting old sucks

    Almost 49 and if I don’t exercise hard at least 4 days a week i’m teetering on madness. I also need to indulge my hobbies. I also work from home and I’ll do all sorts of daily tricks - I walk the yard and check on plants and pull weeds for a 15 min break, I’ll get sun light and for sure I will get my strenuous work outs in too. Religiously eat well for breakfast. It feels restrictive but the alternative is an unmitigated disaster. I still have “is this all there is?” and “holy shit I might have only 20 great years left, FML!!” syndromes. I’m not sure when my midlife will hit, I hope to god the stunts I’ve pulled and upgrading my wife situation was it but I don’t think it was.
  15. Fingers crossed I annihilated yucca bugs with my homemade insecticidal soap mix. It’s dark but earlier today I sprayed a whole infestation and tonight I shook the branches and they all fell to the ground with no resistance. let’s hope troph versus bugs round one went to the trophster.
  16. Y’all gotta get trupanion insurance we pay $30-40 a month. Jax had his attack and it was covered - there is a deductible. It’s a deductible per incident then full coverage. Peace of mind when the big shit blows up. We are probably break even at this point, one major vet bill at 5 years old.
  17. was a joke. I couldn't care less. but me responding to you suggests I could.
  18. Early teen boys are a total enigma these days. I don’t even fucking know.
  19. They are available and AA flies direct from PHX, Dallas and LAX. Itchy trigger finger… rooster fish, dorado, sail, marlin, all on the fly rod. My breathing currently resembles a roll in the hay. I think I gotta do this.
  20. anyone fly fish the Sea of Cortez out of Loreto, MX? found these guys: https://flyfishloreto.com/ We need to GTFO and explore some place new. Oaxaca, Puerto Escondido or Loreto are on the short list right now.
  21. I didn’t say that’s what’s going on, I’m just saying I could support a reverse psychology subterfuge if it works.
