Most of the neat stuff in Ohio is along the northern end. The aforementioned football hall of fame, the Rock & Roll hall of fame, Cedar Point... But if you're coming to just see the sights, the state doesn't really matter. Just please stay away from the high-crime population centers. No matter what they're advertising, the hidden fee of a BAD TIME is almost always included.

You'll probably get some sort of bonus for having it, if you get 3. That is, if the trend holds. People who had 1 got skins and guns in 2, and people who had 2 got guns and moonstones in TPS. If you had Tales, you got even more stuff for TPS.

Wanted a pseudo-Chinese name that could be corrupted into "Shadow", as it was supposed to be a throwaway ID for limited use. Turns out, I ended up keeping it, and people get weirded out when I speak, and they expect Chinese, and get Radio Announcer instead.

Dude, as long youre not overweight anyone young is fine going into basic training.

"Dress for the job you want to have" applies here. If you show up in shape, it indicates that you have some level of personal discipline, and basic will just be more of what you're used to, or a few steps harder. Much less of a shock to your system than going from minimal physical exertion to borderline heat exhaustion.

If you're thinking about military service, first spend at least six months training and getting fit so basic doesn't beat you to death. Focus more on endurance training than gaining mass. Dense muscle is treated like fat in their outdated weight guidelines.

Having a STEM degree, that is electronic engineering, my recommendation would be to learn a trade, or some skill that's truly in permanent demand in places you would like to live. That doesn't mean work as a phone slave in a call center, as the only reason they're always hiring is because the job is absolute hell.

The last time I used a Linux LiveCD, it was some old version of DamnSmallLinux, and I used it to replace the corrupted Windows XP bootloader on my then-primary system. Pretty much any Linux distro will be usable, and have a GUI so you don't have to mess with CLI stuff.

Never work a crap job for too long. It WILL kill you. Working a crap job while attending school just multiplies the problems. I had five friends die from heart failure in the ten years I worked for a phone company, and I was frequently experiencing defibrillation which was putting me in cardiac arrest almost every month, until a few months after I quit.
If you want to weed out terrible jobs, get an account at Glassdoor (or use a browser extension to block their cookies and whatnot) and look for the negative reviews of the location or company overall. The negative reviews of the company I worked for seemed to be the same issues people had at my location. Random pay cuts, massive increases in workload, elimination of sick days, being fired for submitting your two-weeks notice, being fired for complaining "anonymously" about management, removal of incentives, people being cheated out of hundreds or thousands of dollars in bonuses by management, who got to keep the money that wasn't paid out to their subordinates, bed bugs, fleas, communicable diseases, being attacked in the parking lot, and hundreds of other things that make work miserable.

Try booting with a Linux LiveCD/USB drive, if you have a spare system capable of making one, to see if the SSD can be read by something other than the Windows bootloader or something. What I call a dirty reinstall may help, if the drive itself is fine. It's where you install the OS on top of itself, so you don't lose any personal data. Not a perfect solution, but it beats the asinine "lol reformat and reinstall" suggestions a lot of people give because they perpetually wreck their computers.

Simple enough with the clone brush, but easier still if you have an extremely similar photo of the same location to copy from. Unless you have a lot of practice, cobbling up some believable missing data was something even Stalin's cronies couldn't do when he was having his associates erased (in every sense of the word) one at a time.

They're better stale, but I'll never eat any Nabisco products ever again. Sometimes you have a hankering for some softened sandwich cremes, so once in a grand while, I'll buy a big pack of peanut butter, banana, or vanilla sandwich cremes, open the end, and let them get stale over a few days. The proper preparation method after this is to float them in a glass of milk until they're about to sink.

I have a single 1 day quit caveat that my wife understands and agrees with: If they ever attempt to make me take a pay cut. Im paid what I am because its what Im worth. They know they cant hire someone off the street to replace me. That doesnt mean they cant, but it isnt that easy.

My last company actually did pull that bullshit with people, but not me.

Good on the both of you. It's easier to fight against company abuse when you're not doing it by your lonesome.

The job I quit made everybody take a pay cut while dramatically increasing responsibilities. They wanted people fresh out of high school to handle multinational corporate telecommunications support for $10 an hour, with no raises, vapor bonuses thanks to an eternally moving goalpost, and the ability to get fired for HR screwing up manager-approved paid vacation.
If I had taken a $20k pay cut, I would have made more money selling used phone screen protectors on ebay.

So the show wasn't sexualized when they introduced Arthur's heterosexual parents? Seems like a pretty blatant double standard.

Anyone who refers to the current typical wage as a living wage needs to be made to live on it for a while. With what you can afford on such a wage, you wouldn't be able to get the job in the first place, typically having to eschew amenities like your own car, a decent cell phone and plan for it, a decent wardrobe, and a place to live that isn't a tarpaulin tent in the forest behind a truck stop.

Oh wait, they expect everyone making crap money to cohabitate. Great for families, too. When mom and dad are each at work for overlapping hours, the children can more easily be indoctrinated to believe whatever political BS is being rammed into their heads, without parents to temper the children with a proper upbringing first.

Your choice of cheese, but it has to be cut from a wheel, and melted before the sandwich is closed up.

If your job is distressing you more than anything outside of work, the best thing you can do is have friends and family members put out some feelers for a better job for you. Working for AT&T for a decade nearly made me eat my shotgun, but even my coworkers told me that I should quit as soon as possible. I should have quit five years ago. The damage seems to be permanent. I don't even enjoy pizza or video games anymore.

If it's stuff outside of work, then that's easier to sort out. Cut absolutely everyone who isn't important to you, out of your life.
