  1. Get aluminum foil where the battery connectors went. It should be enough to make contact to get the battery to connect.
  2. Honestly the people that got cut from our team were indeed low performers and got cut for good reason. One guy got hired on the same time I did and we are given x amount of time to be able to go off on our own and do stuff. Before we are certified we can work from home or go to the office as long as we do 40 hours. 14 months later. He still wasn't done and just taking up space. When he was at work he was watching the news. He would say in front of management hey, you guys know I'm part of the team. I can start leading projects. Management would tell him he needed to get qualified first. He would mumble I'll get around to that. I want to lead this project. As far as the exec bonus. They just made it like everyone else's. If you outperformed you are eligible for 200 percent bonus. For us everyday guys it goes from 65 percent for low performers-225 percent for the unicorns
  3. Didn't Luck commit to Stanford super early? I remember the Houston Chronicle had a recruiting piece that used to be really good and I think Luck committed super early and wasn't even open to anywhere else.
  4. Deon Beasley was supposed to be the one that made it. Good thing for Texas. Deon Beasley was the reason Earl Thomas popped up on Texas radar.
  5. There are about 400 ships in the Navy. There are 168 admirals. 3600 Captains and 5000 Commanders. Kinda top heavy on management don't you think. Where is your piss and vinegar that you throw at the corporate world when it comes to top heavy management?
  6. I'm not complaining my bonus came out to 40 percent. The RSUs were laughable because it was at a cost of 700 bucks
  7. https://www.foxnews.com/us/uss-harry-s-truman-commanding-officer-relieved-after-collision-merchant-ship-near-suez-canal He gone
  8. The best tacos I've had were in Tokyo. My buddy who is Mexican asked them how they learned to make tacos and they said they were on a random trip to Mexico and fell in love with tacos. So the two brothers spent the next 7 years working in taco places all over Mexico and started their own bar in Tokyo
  9. It told me it was going to feel like -30f in Omaha for the rest of the week. I booked a flight out of town until Saturday
  10. McCullough got caught up with the track twins from New Orleans. Those dudes were bad news.
  11. Was he down by contact when the cops recovered the keys?
  12. It happens to me on a weekly basis. Our specialty item on Wednesday is omelettes. So I'll go get an omelette for breakfast. And then as I meander to my desk I feel a poop coming on. So I hit up one of our single toilets Do my business and as I open the door. The young pretty Hispanic girl from janitorial is waiting to clean the bathroom. I give her the look of shame. She gives me the look of disgust and we go about our merry way. One day I'll give her a high five
  13. Watch it. You can call me a scumbag all you want. Don't you dare call me a lawyer
  14. What did you expect him to say. I didn't want the 10x settlement?
  15. We had that issue in Guam. They wouldn't put out liberty until 6 PM. And then secure liberty at 10 and tell the sailors not to do anything stupid. The basically gave us 3 hours to drink as much as we could
  16. We had a port call to the Philippines cancelled because the North Koreans threatened to attack during one of the war games. After the war game was over. Our CO had the choice of us pulling into Busan for a week over Christmas or stay out and do tracking on vessels. His reasoning "it's too cold on Korea. Y'all wouldn't enjoy it."
  17. All submarines are surface ships, all surface ships are submarines once, but some surface ships can be submarines more than once.
  18. Collisions are almost like they pointed out with the Austin Powers thing. I'm assuming the ship just drifted into it and there was nowhere else to maneuver.
  19. Subs do a surface transit through the straits. The straits are pretty shallow and a sub would get sucked up by the bigger surface ship. It's also an act of war to be submerged in another country's property A submarine can become a surface ship at anytime. Hopefully
  20. I think this is the first time I've heard of a carrier having a collision though. Yeah small boys and stuff hit in those areas 6-7 times a year. But a carrier is something new to me.
  21. She would be part of the triad of leadership that usually gets let go because of this. An aircraft carrier is crazy though because there are at least 3 captains on board. Probably 4-5 if you count the medical corps.
  22. The USS Cole was a lot different. It was a pre 9/11 thing when the top side watch wasn't even allowed to has their guns loaded. The security posture back then was so weak that ships would pull up next to it to sell magazines and other things to the sailors. The machine gunner asked for permission to open fire and the OOD refused to give that order. In today's world unless that merchant ship lost power and made all indications that it lost steering to the Truman. They would have smoked that ship The Cole was also tied to the pier
  23. I was wondering the same thing. That is when the ship is most vulnerable. That is when the manuevering watch is set. It's all hands on deck. Doesn't make any sense. All I know is that an admiral or 2 and a bunch of captains are about to fluff up their resume
