Robot reminds visitors of safe distancing measures in Bishan-Ang Mo Kio Park
The Spot robot is fitted with cameras to help it estimate the number of visitors in the parks. Read more at straitstimes.com.
I’m laughing but that’s power negotiators isn’t it? Ways of the world are varied AND deep sometimes hard for average Joes to grasp why, and I say that not really knowing.
Big dogs with big bones. And more cards under the table than most realize.Double charge of bullseye or titegroup could have been the problem?

Back in the early '90s I had to sit in on a part of SOFA negotiations between the US and ROK in case they had technical questions. I don't know which is worse, politicians or bureaucrats. By far the most boring days of my life.
she looks in pain! no muscle at all to support her....just bones grinding with rib meat lol

Worst are the contractors at the pig trough, bidding low but slipping in additional charges, corrupting politicians and bureaucrats alike, delivering sub-standard products, and hiring do-nothings only for their Gov't contacts. I actually heard one contactor, when challenged on their process, performance , and expertise, ask the Gov't CO: "what answer would you like to appear in our report? It can be changed to whatever you like."
Mind boggling looking at these two sets!

Every mucus membrane in your body is empty by the time you get done with three verses of the MC hymn...
Watched a guy repeat his name, rank, SSN like a dozen times, before he started leaking. I looked like my mom died as soon as I stripped my mask.
YeeeAAA...that works strangely enough, I could not help just CRINGING.
Very creepy!
For years I was both an officer in the Air National Guard and a contractor. Seems like every time I was awarded a contract, at the kickoff meeting I’d have to remind the Contracting Officer’s Technical Representative that “this is a fixed scope contract.”
They’d reply, “You mean a fixed price contract.”
And I’d say, “The price is fixed because the scope is fixed. You’re already changing the scope, and guess what else changes. That’s right, the price.”
Most times, the Contracting Officer (KO), the COTR and I would reach an understanding. Some times though.....

Could use some opaque, pearl-colored accent stuff on there.
Got my COVID19 results back.....
NEGATIVE. I'm a very relieved grunt. Still have some kinda bug working on me, but they seem to believe I'm negative. If any COVID symptoms persist for the nest 48 hours, I'm to be retested. I think I'm okay.

Super to hear, was following and wondering, so far good news
If he's not robbed in November, there's going to be hell to pay for the Demwits. I'm actually seeing something change just a wee bit in the MSM. There seems to be some finger pointing and it's pointing to the left and not towards President Trump as much. We will see.
Is that Adams?
Mt Hood
THAT is sexy hot! There’s so much there detail-wise, seriously incredible details, no small nod this one, it’s beautiful!
Smokey is packing some heat...
No scope change in 1983, rather 8a in over their heads.
I'm thinking the Baltic Sea might be the 10 Ring.
My last posting in the Air Force down here was 97 - 98 in logistics management for F18 Hornets. I had to renew existing contracts, negotiate new ones and then completely manage them from sending items out to contractors, receiving them back then writing the checks for payment. Almost every contractor bill was queried and very few were ever paid in full. Cannot remember what my total budget was but I remember one new contract I wrote was for $30 million per year. If I had not been moved to that job I would have stayed in for more than the 27 years that I did. Would rather fly and play with guns than drive a desk....
what did you fly before you were moved to the chair force
I was what we called a flight fitter in those days on all our helicopter types so I got to play with door guns and do rescue swimmer shit like recovering bodies, sometimes live ones. I spent many years in our Research and Development Unit where I got to fly every type of aircraft with more than one seat ranging from C47 to F18. Also held a private licence for many years and got to fly Tger Moths and Dragon Rapide as well as the more normal Cessna's and Bonanza's etc. Really starting to miss those years....
Best part about working GOV contracts is when a guy with a HS diploma can show an "educated" engineer how they screwed up the parts they presented for inspection, then put their over-inflated bosses ego in check by showing the contractual specs and their manufacturing processes are "out of contractual scope". THEN place the 5,000 cases of fuel filters they made over the last three months on the shelf in quarantine so they don't "slip them in" when they finally get the details straight. 6 months later those boxes are eating up A LOT of warehouse space.
My 12th grade English teacher was in the Philippines back then. She was in a bridge club with Mrs. MacArthur. She still hated the Japanese. One time in class she said, "I'll never forgive them for what they did to our boys."
I have no doubt.
I've got a 1977 Deere 4430 ag tractor. I am so thankful for an old skewl parts store in town. Walk in, "hey Butch, I need a two wire alternator to replace the factory one on my tractor". He spins around, goes into the room with all the shelves, comes back, flops it down on the counter "anything else?"
"Yes, I measured the new cable lengths to convert this thing from 6V to 12V."
"Alright, how long does the ground need to be, and how long does the hot need to be?"
Like I said, so thankful!
