Crazy to think about the fact that there are more planes in the ocean than submarines in the sky.

It’s crazy to think there are no submarines in the sky?

Amanda Peet and the writers do a good job making her, if not sympathetic, not loathsome given how her marriage to Hamm ended.

Not loathsome? I want to bitch slap her through the TV. Even my wife agrees she’s an absolutely horrific person that we both hate

Coop’s new gal is way hotter and cooler. Her and his ex’s blowup when it’s discovered they’re fricking is gonna be epic

Mitchell was sprinting to go talk shite to soft arse Trae after his lazy rebounding effort let Mitchell get the ball and end the game

This is incredible

This is epic chaos

Man it felt like some of these final storylines struggled to get the bow tied on them

The one I can’t get over is the Lochley or however you spell the young son’s name. They’ve made him into a total doormat, but hopefully they don’t also make him into a dumbass. It should take him 5 seconds to figure out that the smoothie that almost killed him had remnants of the pina colada his dad tried to kill everyone else in his family with

Tough one to get over

Venture global is pissing off all the majors because they have some pretty big contracts with prices which are favorable to their customers, but if you can get in there, I would suggest it. I have worked in LNG for 20 years and it is only going to get bigger.

I’d echo this.

I spent 3 years working in Australia during their LNG boom in the mid 2010s. They pay you a shite ton of money and throw around crazy titles like they’re candy. I know tons of guys who squirreled away half a mil by the time they left and got great new gigs based on title and experience.

If your role is construction-related, then yes your experience at Venture may seem like a bubble as it’s strict contract work, but the LNG industry itself is far from a bubble. It will only continue to expand as it becomes the only way to truly provide a lot of baseline power as folks try to take coal and nuclear offline. I’d be incredibly bullish on the industry overall’s future.

Also, just a forewarning, if you do take the job, these types of mega, multi-billion dollar construction projects are absolute shitshows. They need so many folks (like you) to come onboard. They pay them a fortune, but then no one has any context or history with the project. Everyone is just meeting everyone (though the guys who do this regularly as a career start to see a lot of the same folks as they go from job to job around the world). Everyone knows this is a 2-3 year assignment vs a place you can have a lengthy career at so I found that it is an absolute shitshow. You gotta have a good attitude about it, but you spend one week on one of these megajobs, and you realize why everything costs 3x what they budgeted and takes years longer than planned.

I mean, imagine thinking something is “out of control” that every one of us has complete and utter individual autonomy over. Seems kind of idiotic to say that could ever be out of control.

Why can’t people just hit no?

The Take is one of the best single season shows the BBC has ever made IMO. Young Tom Hardy is incredible in it

2. Walking my shoulder blades together on the bench instead of sitting flat. This pushes my shoulders out and helps with the next thing.

3. Puff my chest up and try to push the pecs to the sky. I can feel my pecs activate doing this prior to even starting a rep.

Two really good tips that I learned later and life and still try to remind myself to focus on
