OT: The Thread About Nothing 203

[Brick City]

I am really against the H1B visa program, but I don't really want to get that debate fired up lol

I didn't know 2 weeks for every year was a severance package standard. That'll be a good year of fishing for you lol

The program needs to get significantly more attention than it is. I get Americans do not want the manual jobs typically associated with immigrants. I do not buy that regarding well paying tech jobs that allow the H1-B employees to live near the waterfront in JC.

My brother has an engineering degree from a very prestigious university, he cannot find a job in that field. They all go to people on those visas. It is very flawed.

There is not a single thing that has contributed more to wage stagnation than H1B.

This is so oft-repeated it's believed due to familiarity, but it's completely false and counter to economic theory. Trust me, if you paid more money to pick apples, "Americans" would pick apples.

Now, would the market price of apples go from.... say $1.89/pound to perhaps $2.49/pound? Absolutely.

Yeah she may try that next. Just seems witch doctor esque

Honestly smoking pot would probably help, but I'm not too keen on that and neither is she lol

honestly look into a rook piercing - Rook Piercing: What is it And Why Could it Help With Migraines? - SupportforMigraines.com

my friend got this done on both ears and has seen improvement

I was driving down RT27 and I noticed a new restaurant opened, El Toro Loco in Kendall Park. I stopped in and found that they have 80 tequilas in the the bar. After 2 hours of tasting I'm not sure if I can stay awake for a Montreal game.

Ahh a fellow lover of that fine spirit, did you get a chance to try any casa azul?

I had mostly mezcals.

I had a flight of Del Maguey

I had a flight with Del Maguey Chichicapa, Del Maguey Minero, Del Maguey San Luis Del Rio.

Then I had couple other mezcals. Things got fuzzy after that

I'm a fan of mezcals, though it's rare to find someone else who enjoys them ahah I had a shot of Casa Azul Reposado in Tampa over new years, one of the best tasting tequila's i've ever had

I am not sure if I ever had it? I'd have to ask my wife. Usually don't remember much of the prior days events when tequila was involved But I will definitely look for it and try it.

Their Anejo goes for 500+

 

[JimEIV]

Oh yeah. They had that there. I'm still not sure if I ever had it though. Definitely didn't have it last night.

 

[JimEIV]

Looking at their menu they have it for $22 a shot
Clase Azul Reposado

$11 (1 oz.) / $22 (2 oz.)

83 and sunny here in Naples.

 

[JimEIV]

Oh and I had a spectacular cigar yesterday. Oliva Serie V Melanio. One of the best I have ever had, to my taste anyway.

So as some of you may recall I left for Florida last night. With the exception of crossing the Delaware Memorial Bridge and the parking lot that it was on the other side at 830 at night, we went straight through minus two stops for gas and two for bathroom. Two Red Bull’s and two coffees almost got me all the way through but I tapped out for a 20 minute power nap around 100 miles away from Georgia. Made it in a total of 17 hours and 45 minutes with the bridge fiasco causing the only delay. Kids were awesome for it as well, fell asleep at 730ish and slept until 6. I expect heading home to be world war 3 though.

Having a portable DVD player would help with that immensely.

So I’m in south Florida visiting the parents and I tweet at T-Mobile about how terrible their service has been down here and their response is to ask my to fill out a thing giving them complete access to my twitter account and telling me to restart my phone. I understand my parents being cheap and not wanting to pay for at&t anymore but epic lulz on this.
