    Work from home question

    Apparently there are agreements between states pertaining to state taxes, they're called reciprocal agreements. I don't have to deal with it, but its a thing anyone else that's going to work remote needs to research.

    Work from home question

    I by no means have set hours. I'm in Denver and currently have clients I am working with from Boston to Hawaii. If the phone rings I answer it and add the task to my to-do list. Now, do I foresee a problem when I am in EST and a Hawaiian client wants to have a conversation in their afternoon ...

    Work from home question

    This is what I came here for. Thanks. Keep them coming, lessons learned from people that have done it are awesome. I had thought of the time zone stuff, but I promptly forgot about it. The office is in MST, I'll be in EST, so I'll have to adjust slightly. We're checking on our benefits, but...

    Work from home question

    My wife and I have decided to move halfway across the country to be closer to family. The consulting frim I work for is allowing me to work fully remote. Myself, and my employer are not familiar with this process, but I assume readers of this forum are either managing people doing this or have...

    Crystal Pepsi, Yea or nay

    What year did it first come out? 1995? Or am I thinking of something else? I stopped drinking Pepsi when they got rid of the Big Slam. Not because of the delivery vessel shape, I just happened to stop drinking Pepsi at that time.

    Travel!! Where are you headed; Where do you want to go? Where have you been?

    A guy I work with, the only one in the office not vaccinated, had a Hawaii vacation planned for a couple weeks ago. Per requirements he got tested ~48 hours before flying. His asymptomatic son came back positive, thereby canceling their trip.

    Cryo Tank Demo Estimate

    What's it made out of? I estimated at an airport for a few years and never had to deal with something like that. The only thing I can think of (and I am not aware of this documents existence) is some type of government entities cost book, similar to State DOT's unit rate books. I assume the...

    The Automotive Thread

    Our normal family vehicle is a 2017 Silverado crew cab. It's a great truck, until Saturday evening. My wife was turning onto our driveway when the brakes decided to not function as they normally do. She had to pull herself off the seat and put all the force she could into pushing the brake pedal...

    The Automotive Thread

    I was 100% against the EV purchase in 2017. I have come to greatly appreciate the convenience of the EV. No gas stations, no maintenance (if there was I wouldn't do it anyways), quiet, smooth, fun to drive... I dislike a lot of parts of the particular car, but can't wait to get rid of it and get...

    The Automotive Thread

    Good to hear your family is safe. My wife has a Nissan Leaf, but I commute in it due to the low cost per mile and it is easier to to park in my small spot at the office downtown. We bought it new in 2017. I will not buy another EV from a primarily internal combustion manufacturer until major...

    Home Improvement/Repair Questions

    This is what happens. After we committed (ripped everything including the carpet out of the closet) she "redesigned" and next thing I know I'm looking at tearing up subfloor and drywall to relocate/add an outlet. Even switching out wire racks for 1/2" or 3/4" MDF with brackets or MDF mounts...

    Home Improvement/Repair Questions

    It's not that bad, but if we are being honest we both have degrees (her's is biological eng, mine is civil) and never really use them. She focused on food manufacturing operations, I focused on construction/project management. My wife's dad is a retired chemical engineer, my dad would have been...

    Home Improvement/Repair Questions

    My wife (also an engineer) decided we need to rebuild the master bedroom closet. This is turning into an engineering/design nightmare. There are too many options. We were literally measuring hanging pants and shirts last night. She had a layout done on paper but that didn't make as much sense...

    Travel!! Where are you headed; Where do you want to go? Where have you been?

    2019 Novel Coronavirus

    Does anyone have any data on why people are not getting vaccinated? I see there is a push to get the full FDA approval, but I think that's going to have minimal affect.

    Nutrition, Diet, and Elite Fitness: Notes, Goals, and Resources....

    I had to draw the line at 45 minutes of exercise OUTSIDE everyday for months. I could do it (and have) for 5 straight days because it was a nice week in north Denver suburbs. December... nah. Also the concept of exercising 1.5 hours a day is awesome, but that would be minor a minor battle in...
