Another proposal from a bunch of bigots:

The National Legal and Policy Center (NLPC) is a conservative 501(c)(3) non-profit group that monitors and reports on the ethics of public officials, supporters of liberal causes, and labor unions in the United States.

Is that their own description, or one from someone else?

Considering that I spent a great deal of time in my life figuring out how to fix things while under the Atlantic Ocean

I would like to hear more about this!

I'm a US Navy submarine force veteran. Specifically, a machinist's mate and reactor chemist.

For what it's worth, Wes here at AI is a USN carrier veteran, specifically a nuclear-trained electronics technician.

Which makes some of the comments I've seen about how you guys don't know anything about certain subjects highly amusing. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

You really shouldn't tell a new potential employer your past prior pay level.

This is absolutely the correct attitude.  I have never done so, and I've only been asked once.  My response was, "That's irrelevant.  What do you have to offer."  That particular company attempted to low-ball me on the assumption that I was leaving because I was underpaid, and while that was part of the reason, it wasn't even the most important one, so I declined.

My existing Honeywell thermostat has a problem with the battery compartment, so it will no longer hold the settings when the power goes out.  So I'll def be looking at that new one.
