Your side hustles are awesome!

(Bob M) #62

Very impressive, Bob.

I have to say that this thread has been a hoot for me, since many of you I have “known” for some time. I’m greatly enjoying reading about all of our different paths. Thanks to all of you who’ve allowed me to get to know you a little better.

Say F all

You know what this thread has taught me is that a bunch of really intelligent, scientificy mofos do Keto. There’s got to be something to that, right? Keto, the lifestyle of geniuses.

#66

Yeah.

Perhaps it’s also a ‘danger’ thread, which can be abused.

(You've tried everything else; why not try bacon?) #67

Danger is my middle name. :rofl::rofl::rofl:

#68

I would know.

You’re ok mate.

:grinning:

That 2015 loss can’t get you down forever. The sport isn’t the same without you.

#71

Indeed. He used to be so good at picking his battles.

I’m extremely proud to say that I was runner-up in the National Humility Sweepstakes, three years running
:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

(Robin) #73

I bet you were actually the winner but are to modest to say so.

(Little Miss Scare-All) #74

That was good :joy:

#75

Hold on… you were in Nuclear Power in the Navy, and you’re in CT aren’t you? You’re not a Millstone guy are you?

#76

i don’t want to brag about my wealth…but yesterday evening I had the heating on.

#77

Hyperbole is the ulimate best thing in the world!

#78

My birthday, last year, and my family and SO booked a Tom Jones impersonator for me.
Apparently, it’s not unusual.

OK I’ll stop now :upside_down_face:

(Bob M) #79

No, I’m not a Millstone guy.

I went in Navy Nuclear Power when I was 18. I went to Navy Nuke school in Orlando, then power plants in upstate NY. Then was on the USS Enterprise, an aircraft carrier based out of Alameda, CA, for 4 years.

Got out of the Navy, moved to AZ, got a BSEE and MSEE, worked as an electrical engineer. Then went to law school, am now an engineer who happens to have a law degree.

(Jane) #80

Chemical engineer here. Spent some time in the DOS days programming PC’s and mini-computers (DEC PDP 11/84) in Fortran, Turbo Pascal, C and one boring stent working for my dad on an accounting program in COBOL.

Spent most of my career in chemical plants programming the computers (DCS systems) that run the processes and emergency shutdown systems (SIS) that safely shut down the process to prevent an incident.

Not just programming, but wiring diagrams, managing construction, training operators, startup support and 24/7 support after the systems were running.

Also maintenance manager twice (thankless job and didn’t learn my lesson the first time LOL).

Currently working from home managing automation projects in the US and occasionally providing technical support remotely.
