Housing Bubble, credit bubble, public planning, land use, zoning and transportation in the exurban environment. Specific criticism of smart growth, neotradtional, forms based, new urbanism and other top down planner schemes to increase urban extent and density. Ventura County, California specific examples.
There are eagles on NASA property. Hub saw one onces. We have tons of Hawks, nearly always one in view, and ibises whom ping on bugs in the front yard. I know we have snakes because I see their shed skins while gardening. Not to mention the turtles. Or alligators. I guess the pythons aren't newsworthy any more.
I've been out of the rat race for a few years now..what is the protocol for playing with your smartphone during meetings/presentations these days?? Is that frowned upon?? Seems like that would be a good diversion for the long boring ones..
It is considered polite to use a Bluetooth earpiece when playing Battle Cats.
A preview of CA single payer: A recent state Senate analysis pondered a 15% payroll tax as a way to raise the estimated $200 billion needed in revenue to cover the program’s costs. The analysis assumes another $200 billion would come from existing federal, state and local funds.
The nurses’ union paid for their own study of the proposal, conducted by economics professors at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. Assuming federal waivers, the analysis suggests $225 billion could come from repurposed Medicare and Medi-Cal funds.
An additional $106 billion would have to come through new revenue. The study suggests two new taxes: a 2.3% gross receipts tax on businesses and a 2.3% sales tax coupled with a tax credit for families that currently qualify for Medi-Cal.
Too many people think they can multi task with their phones and pay attention at a meeting. Hint - You can't. There is no such thing as "multi tasking", you are either paying attention to your phone or the meeting, not both. Invariably the person on their phone is asked a question, and then you have to repeat what you were asking about because they were "multi tasking".
I wish I had a portable cell signal blocker for meetings. Besides, it is just plain rude.
Dan, you describe one side of a two sided coin. Cannot tell you how many times I squirmed in a seat while people argued about PERT chart margins of error when I wanted to be on the floor breaking $100k parts with $10m machines.
True... But when your biding your time waiting for some clown to figure out why his circuit board doesn't work it's okay... FWIW, he never got it running...

Suffering through disasterous vendor demonstration... Not ready for prime time... This is an hour and a half that I'll never get back

As a teen in New England I saw a Fisher Cat. There's a checkbox few can claim.
Cinco, is your real name "Dilbert?" ;)
At every high tech job I've ever worked at my co-workers were sure that Scott Adams worked there... That's his genius
BTW, my middle name is Wally...
Got your doctors RX that says you have meeting induced narcolepsy and you are allowed to sleep in meetings yet?
The fisher cat looks like a cross between a cat and a bear.
Hahahahaha.
Reading about the interactions of Hamilton and Adams. Both had feet of Clay.

Liz, even Hamilton would cringe at the extent Federalism has grown.
