  • Every time I know somebody is in the market, I get them a copy of What Color is Your Parachute. It gets updated every year. It’ll help with finding a targeted position that wants your skills.

    I hate working for big corporations. Recruiters will only find you the worst contract jobs. Finding where the small businesses are looking is something that shook out of the book for me. The methods you’re using are all the methods that the large companies want you to use and you’ll almost always get filtered out. Find places where small companies are looking for your specific skills. They don’t want to be awash in dozens of resumes anymore that you want to be blasting your resume out there to dozens of systems that are only there to filter you out. The places might be a niche job posting website, might mean an industry event, etc.





  • A group that stayed together for 8 years is impressive.

    I’m assuming dead dead and not resurrectable dead.

    Did you have a mini for the druid? It’s not very druidy, but you could paint it bronze and make it into a statue of a hero for use in tabletop cities. Are you planning any sort of ritual, like burning the character sheet and spreading the ashes?


  • Are they getting rid of regulations on tobacco products? Article says there will be more oversight. And because there are still legitimate avenues for people who aren’t impacted, there won’t be much support for black markets to develop.

    Some of the changes will prevent exposure of other people to smoke. That’s going to overall reduce danger from tobacco products at the population level. Even if it makes smoking more dangerous for those that defy the law, the number of people overall exposed to both firsthand and secondhand smoke is going to be reduced. I’d take that trade-off, but I don’t think the danger to would be smokers is going to increase.

    The amount of people who quit drinking directly because of prohibition was about 70% of the population at first decreasing to about 40% as prohibition continued. That’s not negligible. There are plenty of negative consequences that happened because of it, though. I don’t, however, think the UK is going to get a vape mafia.
