I have also seen people flat out say "I didn't write that" and then I email them their own resume in the interview, the recruiter had rewritten it (!!!), and then they emailed their real resume and they were not close.
Hired dude for a different job, fired/banned recruiter.

My keyboard was too loud.
My response was apparently funny enough that HR used it for internal training.

A lot of my career has been bridging information flow between groups easily 3 SDs apart in IQ. Look here:
Look at effects of IQ in daily life, like "are 40% of all people unable to understand drug insyructions" or, say, car insurance.

A long time ago, a friend had an issue with a sleazy homebuilder dumping construction trash on his adjoining lot. He complained. They did nothing. He had a friend pick it all up and dump it on the three company owner's lawns at 0400 on a Monday morning. It stopped.

That actually works with Game Wardens as well. It wasn't intentional my part. I had never been stopped. I did not know it was not normally 90 minutes and why the guy looked desperate to get away. Was never stopped again.

I called LLMs "high speed bullshit engines" a few years ago in a presentation at an oilfield company. The marketing manager was upset and dislikes me to this day. We got the contract, refused to do any LLM work, marketing manager spent $800k and got nothing and got fired.

I know a Tartar who says "Tartars are healthier because of their faith and a lack of vodka, but mostly a lack of vodka". That is a big, big part of Slavic health issues.
He was also the first person I knew who referred to Russians as "vodka-stanis".

Intel strongarming everyone to Itanium hurt, a lot, and Microsoft has always been predatory. Linux, despite many advantages, was a hard sell up to ten years ago. What really killed UNIX was people not understanding how to use business computing and those costs. Kind of like OS/2.

This is, unfortunately, exactly the dynamic of AWFLs in Houston and LA. They really think that they can have large men (whom they denigrate) do as they are told (roust the homeless psychos) so that the AFWLs face no consequences for their voting and STRONGLY EXPRESSED feelings.

No dude, it isn't. Many very sheltered Americans have never had this experience because they have never actually been around foreign people. No, eating at a Thai place a lot doesn't cut it.

Many years ago, an older relative mentioned what he called "slow time". He and some friends came up with it after Vietnam. It was where you know what is going to happen but no one believes you so you have to watch it all happen, slowly. I understand this now.

Liberals in the US are drawn to philosophies which prey upon their broken threat analysis mechanism. They cannot tell what can hurt them so they look for a consensus decision.
If we had metformin for dopamine disorders and put it in the water like flouride we could fix them.

This was my situation with late GF because we were older and about two months after she moved in we just set up a joint account. And after she passed I closed it out and gave half to her sole heir. Not complicated. We were both at a point where our jobs just fed our retirement.

Many years ago -- 1997 -- a friend told me about doing a forensic job for "a bank in south Texas". They lost about $20,000,000. Recovered none. They decided to save money by firing the sysadmin (yes, only one) and having a secretary load a tape every day and run the backup job.

Simple, clear contracts in my experience in oil and gas almost have a Jewish attorney behind them who has seen some real shit. You can tell. They want the feedback every time and insist on candor.
A lot of their job consists of trying to keep C-level guys from getting them sued.

They ALWAYS do. It is ALMOST ALWAYS the same people. You can put a handful of people in jail for 6 months and the type of crime they specialize in will fall by 90% for that time period. We know this. Three strikes laws work, nut huts work. The current situation is a choice.

. I Houston, a tactic that Kim Ogg (the Soros DA) uses is to mess up the bail request so the judge has no guidance or request and releases the felon. Then Kim Ogg blames the judge. If this is another Soros DA situation, it is probably a playbook.

Well, there is "missing" as in "doing drugs with drug friends in Atlanta and his mother is trying to use the police to manage her child so she files a report" and then there is "dead in a shallow grave". I suspect the former rather than the latter in most of these cases.

I lived in Houston right next to a Whole Foods, a few restaurants, and a shopping center. It wasn't that loud. Why? It was all expensive so the patrons were typically capable of self control and did not make huge amounts of noise.
It is the culture, not the cafes.

Also, yes you can run E85 and E100 in certificated aircraft engines by just adjusting fuel flow. Brazilians have been doing it since the 70s without issues other than, again, vapor pressure issues. But ethanol loves water and stores incredibly poorly, so it isn't a fix.

People marry late on both sides of my family. It is interesting talking to people with 4 living generations. On both sides, my great grandparents were born just after the Civil War (late 1860s to late 1870s). I am 53.

My mother used to do this until the police were called out to an "abusive situation" for the third time by phone bank people. The police were getting upset. Now she just keeps them on the phone as long as she can before telling them she cannot vote because she was a bank robber.

Interesting you say that. Not two weeks ago I was chatting with a fellow very senior in law enforcement in a county outside of Houston and he said that if they locked up about 600 people total (about 1.5%) for the rest of their lives, 90% of the crime in the county would go away.
