I live in a down-on-its-luck Southern US town. My dad and uncles live out in the county. When I told my uncle I wanted to buy a house in town, he said I'd be shot within three months.
Couple years now. No gunfire near me. Plenty out there near him.
Not rich. Just white.
@c0debabe I had a dude once rail about how dangerous our local city was (it isn’t). I told him I disagree and he said “then go downtown!!”

it's a device for tuning automotive distributors. looks like it's missing the chuck? you clamp the distributor onto that arm, and then a chuck is supposed to go from the plate up to the distributor. you put the wires on it and the thing spins the distributor at various speeds (see the 'engine speed' gauge) and the firing points show up on the plate at the bottom. the charts are various ignition timing information for various engines, so you can see how far off your distributor is and figure out what you need to change.
I haven't seen anyone use one of these things since I was a little kid, and I'm old as hell

It is actually very difficult to externally rotate the hips as much as they do in ballet for some people that have never trained in it even if they can do the splits and had a lot of yoga
Balancing on only the toes instead of the whole foot is also challenging
These two features make ballet exercise unique compared too many other common types of exercise and uniquely different than many other types of dance

More men should do ballet training exercises but not necessarily perform
Let the woman continue to suffer a shortage of male danseurs
Princess Tutu is a Japanese Anime that goes into great detail about ballet style when people move
Even when they are running or dance fighting they run with the hips externally rotated like in ballet
If you like ballet I strongly reccommend watching Princess Tutu if you can watch the whole series for free

This reminded me of her.
Sorry for rambling. Perhaps it was just cathartic release.
Aside: yoga is not a fitness regime. It is a spiritual practice to be grounded with Nature. Western ideas have subverted it. Unfortunate.
Also: The Russians were clearly better at this performance of Swan Lake. Synchronization and smoothness of movement.

Programming a computer is not weird or abstract or even that difficult. It's just writing a list of steps in a format your machine can understand. In theory, a human being could also "execute" a program as well if they understood how it worked.
And computers are just electronic circuits that are designed to execute stored programs. Programming is the original way to use a computer.

“Studies show actually deporting workers en masse from industries that rely on undocumented labor does little for U.S. workers … [and] actually reduces job opportunities for American-born workers.
That’s in part because many American workers, even those outside of immigrant-heavy industries, rely on the services generated by low-wage, undocumented labor — the costs of which would rise with mass deportations.”

Folks here will notice that I’m less frequently detailing lower court opinions that attempt to stop the Trump regime’s lawless actions. This is because enough time has passed for enough appeals to reach the U.S. Supreme Court for U.S. to know that no matter how carefully a lower court judge explains and supports her rulings, the Supreme Court will act as lawlessly as the Trump executive. 1/ #LawFedi

salary questions come off as desperate or greedy. I would only discuss when an offer is made or the interviewer brings it up first.
Asking about work culture sounds like you're someone who is difficult to work with or has high expectations for special treatment.
Job responsibilities is basic stuff.. What's the problem with that one?
@Valvoline
I get the preference against discussing salary, but everything else should be on the table. The candidate is interviewing the company just as much as vice versa, so some information before accepting a second interview or offer is required.
I would certainly ask about the job scope and what kind of awesome projects they have to look forward to.
