Less than 50 lbs a year. It doesn’t make any sense to manufacture in Canada and move it across the border. It’s easier to import precursors and manufacture in the US. https://www.cnn.com/2025/02/03/politics/us-canada-trade-fentanyl-fact-check/index.html

eta: thousands of pounds move from Mexico to the US. But it’s not a factor on the Northern border. Now if you could stop smuggling guns up here that’d be real nice.

Ask a drumline what they call it.

This is truer than you can imagine. At least from what he told me.

The wads of money stuffed in their pockets act like a pillow suit.

There are a lot of executive security firms. If you have the wallet They have emergency doctors on retainer, private hospitals, helicopters on standby. Yes they will take a bullet for you, but you’ll pay for that privilege. I knew someone who worked for one of the firms in a managerial role.

Living near rocks vs deep topsoil.

I have only ever seen the clothesline/lariat as a combination move: throw your opponent into the ropes, leap into the ropes on the short side, and you extend the arm as you pass each other.

So does anything that’s browned when cooking.

Godfather II. The first is honestly kind of hokey and people are really stupid when they are trying to be clever. GF II has higher levels of tension and the execution of everything is smarter. And Robert DeNiro just slays playing young Marlon Brando.

I worked 3rd (23:00-07:00) shift for years and really enjoyed it. Shift premium was great, workload was low. Almost no management in place (hospital). I’d socialize in the evening and then go to work after. Didn’t have any problem sleeping during the day. It’s also true that I was a bachelor so no kids or pets depending on me.

Nassim Nicholas Taleb talks about this when he explains his own career. He realized the amount of effort he had in him was never going to change, so he wanted a field where earnings weren’t limited by his own effort - the dream of passive income. He became an expert on risk and a well known writer. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nassim_Nicholas_Taleb

“What’s the career trajectory in the unit?” Which is a polite way of asking what happened to the last person. Another classic is if they are looking to sustain their current performance, make small improvements, or do an overhaul.

Good point. On a callback I’d be all about expectations and details. That having been said I’m changing jobs this month and I still don’t know if there is a bike cage or showers at the the new place. But it wasn’t part of my decision criteria so I’ll find out when I start

Unpopular opinion: the candidate shouldn’t have asked any of those questions. Those are offer negotiations because you can trade off salary for parking etc.

That first interview is a chance to be strategic and ask about growth in the department or development pathways/programs. I was always told that first you get the ring, then you negotiate the prenup.

Get lost asshat.

Sir, this is Dull Men’s Club. I think I just wet myself a little.

I’ve seen bacon and honeydew/cantaloupe at bruch things.

They’re the same! I’m in Canada so it’s the same time zone, even if I have to fly through Vancouver to get there.
