U-235 Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 A bit of random stuff. I met with a professor today to talk about research with him about reactor physics. He was raised in the Soviet Union. He studied soviet graphite reactors at one point. The only graphite reactors in the soviet union were the RBMK-1000 (the same design as Chernobyl). He's still interested in having me as a researcher with him. This is going to be interesting. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hux Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 We should build a bunch of nuclear power plants across the USA. Us personally, as in Phoenix'd members. I think we'd do okay. I believe in you! Let's do it. Free electricity for all. I'll need a lot of power to keep my heavy-duty sexbot running. So will the rest of America. We'll all have sexbots. Coal is dirty and primitive. So is gas. Solar panels hurt my eyes. Windmills give people depression. Nuclear power gives us third arms. The extra arm will come in handy when we have to fight off the sexbot rebellion. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heh, true I tend to highlight the absurdities but the mundane moments aren't great for conversation ;) I have, from time-to-time, highlighted the joys inherent in my programming endeavors. I'm sad to say the interesting work is less common these days on this particular project. But, the beauty of the field is (if you are flexible) you can find new and more suitable opportunities. Just today a headhunter came to me with a new opportunity for a senior developer position. The commute to downtown would be a pain, so I don't think I'll switch but it's nice to know there are options. If the endless meetings and bureaucratic labyrinth isn't your thing, just steer clear of the big corporate gigs and aim more for small shop ops. Everything has its plusses and minuses and no outfit is a perfect fit, but with the opportunities available in the field it's a good bet you'll find a good fit.

I hear there's a certain type of Asiatic Wasp that eats these bugs, that they've considered shipping over. Maybe your office can be a testing place? Also, I saw these tips: - Vacuum them. This also will help kill stink bug eggs. But dispose of the vacuum bag, maybe dousing it with some insecticide as you set it in the trash can. - Attract them. Use a wide-mouth can. Fill with an inch of water, sweet-scented dish soap, and a little cooking oil on top. Make sure that pets cannot lick this trap. The sweet smell lures the bugs; the oil smothers their discharge; the soapy water smothers them as they sink. - Exterminate them with commercially available insecticides. But apply the chemicals outside. If you do so when they are in your walls, you could attract carpet beetles that feed on their carcasses and potentially your woolens. - Repel them. They don't like the smell of garlic — if you can handle it. - Block them. Caulk small openings and cracks in your house or elsewhere to keep them out of structures. Repair damaged screens. ~ Personally, I'd go with the garlic option. Just smear some fresh cloves over as much surface area as you can. Your office will thank you later.

The building is too old and too big for simple repairs, plus it's smack-dab in tge middle of the woods. Pesticide treatments haven't amounted to much, though it's kept other bugs away mostly. I think they've infested the walls. Vacuuming the office isn't much of an option either. A couple coworkers tried the trap thing a while back. It was midly effective but there's just too many over to big a space. Plus, the trap stunk up the place when it worked. Haven't heard the garlic one, might be worth a shot.

And when more insects come to feast upon the corpses of their vermin comrades, kill them as well. Administer holy justice, ruthlessly and at discount prices. Kill them all.

Now that I'm going back to school Im trying to think of what options I have going forward, currently studying Medical Labortory Technician certification centered around phlebotomy, from there I could take a two year course in General Medical Laboratory Technican or Veterinary Technician, Im torn because MLT gives me more workforce options plus I love the idea of testing specimens in a lab setting, but I would miss the factor of being able to work with animals in a clinical setting if I did that which is something I have also planned on doing. Both of which share the significance in being 2 year educations with similar requirements, I was wondering if a career is vaccinating services is anything similar, I cant seem to figure out what keywords to use hence google searching is in vain so I figured I'd ask advice either someone in career services or a forum full of smart furries, whichever I can potentially access first? *shrug* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's just anyone of a given skillset (like pharmacist or phlebotomist or veterinarian) who has the training certifications necessary. A cursory glance around some searches suggests Veterinary Technician might be what you're looking for.

This American Veterinary Medicine Association pa I guess "positions" would be more accurate, vaccinations are a very common standard procedure so i was wondering which fields catered to that duty most of time in a normal day-to-day workflow, I've been to the local health department here so it seems like one of their main tasks is vaccination services Working in a vet clinic I noticed the majority of animals coming in were routine vaccinations, which is interesting, and its part of why I want to go into veterinary technician training Edit: Now that I thought about my local health department I looked up what positions health departments have and Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) or Medical Assistant fits that statement, I think.

Hux Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 I'll live on a sailboat one of these days. All aboard the SS Hux. Shittiest ship in the sea. Come on guys, we can harpoon whales all day. lennyface.jpg I'll live off the sea until I finally die of heavy metal poisoning due to consuming a diet comprised entirely of fish. I'll eat fish tacos every day. Mmm fish tacos. I can make a seal hide banana hammock. That's all I'll wear. I just need to figure out how I can desalinate water so I can drink and bathe. Perhaps I can harness the power of waved hitting my boat. Solar panels and windmills won't do. At sea for months at a time. Alone with nothing but my own thoughts. I will infiltrate the social circles of dolphins and I will learn their language. They will come to worship me as a god. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was usually super funny though since we were dumb kids. He's so much nicer now, so when reminiscing on old days we talk about him like he's some kind of computer. Say he got a firmware update. Uninstalled TryHard OS 1.0. Refer to his old self as prepatch and how his new OS is way more optimized. Lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
