  • You said “was” so if you two are no longer professionally engaged and won’t be in the future, go for it!

    Reach out to him and let him know you’re interested, but 100% are not looking for anything serious.

    Then it’s up to him.

    Remember in life the default state for interpersonal interaction is already “No.” (Meaning if you do nothing it’s like you did something, and they said “No.”) So never let the fear of “no” hold you back, because you’re already there unless you do something.










  • Heritage Foundation President Kevin Roberts says the planned transformation of American governance will be bloodless, ‘if the left allows it to be’.”

    See? It won’t rip the country apart just as long as ‘the left’ let them implement it without putting up a fuss! (sarcasm tag folks)

    SO GO VOTE AND NEVER GIVE THEM A CHANCE!

    I was at a Pride event and a long time activist said this (about gay rights and what happened with ‘Roe v. Wade’):

    If you take it for granted, they’ll take it away!










  • Drivesavers!

    They’re not cheap, but they can damn near recover anything.

    Example: We had a sales rep. in Saudi Arabia for a month. On the way there he dropped his laptop bag. Wouldn’t startup and made a rattling sound when shook.

    For over a month he had a detached read/write head dancing across the drive platters. (He kept his replacement laptop and the damaged one together in his bag…)

    Drivesavers managed to recover every file but one. Also the first time they failed to recover the entire drive for us, and we sent them <5/year. When we got the drive back it was shocking how much damage that head did to those platters, and amazing they only failed on one file!

    This was over 2 decades ago and cost us $2.3K. Not sure what they’re charging these days or if they can selectively recover files/folders as we always did the entire drive.

    But if you absolutely need that data they’ll get it!

    Not affiliated with them in any way, just a happy customer in my last job.
