The problem is that my clients don’t enjoy the advantages of a well groomed lifestyle. Half of them don’t even know what I mean when I say “dress nice for trial tomorrow when the jury first sees you.”
They think that means show up in jeans with their shirt tucked in, and if they know what kinds of clothes I’m talking about, odds are they can’t afford those ones.

They’re adding another length of rod to go deeper. The brown liquid that sprays out isn’t oil, it’s drill mud which is literally just premixed mud which is added to the hole to help stabilize the sidewalls and also cool off the bit.
The big mechanical brace they move around is used to hold the active rod in place while spinning a different rod in or out.
The brace built into the floor around the active rod hangs the whole drill column in place while extracting, which can weigh tens of thousands of pounds suspended over a hole that can be thousands of feet deep.
The chain is used to create friction and tension on the rod to pull it into place horizontally when trying to slot the next length of rod. In some cases it also provides extra tension when tightening the rod connection.
The stuff he brushes the threads with is pipe thread grease to help disconnect the rods after inducing incredible pressure on them from drilling.
They teach us to get down to the patient’s level, so it doesn’t feel like you’re talking down to them (literally and figuratively). But, ideally you wouldn’t tell them bad news in the waiting room. You would want to do it in an exam room or your office, where both of you can sit comfortably facing each other.
I was surprised to learn there is actually a really structured way on how to tell a patient bad news. Literally a 6 step process that all physicians are taught to follow.

Information is classified based on how much damage the material would do to National Security. There are technically only 4 levels of classification: Unclassified, Classified, Secret, and Top Secret, but there are other descriptions that can be attached to those classifications to further instruct how to handle those materials. As an example SBU refers to something that is Sensitive but Unclassified. There are also things called “Read Ons” where you may have the correct clearance to handle a particular level of classified material but you need to be “read on” to some special instructions that are specific to that document, building, room, etc.

The big issue with “rock” or really any guitar based music outside of country is multifold.
So with the collapse of the major labels due to multiple factors but mostly utterly and completely fucking up the transition to digital music they are not nearly as big and powerful as they once were. The major label focus shifted towards low investment, high yield artists since 2005 or so. The three most popular genres for this are rap, country and crossover pop music. I will give examples for all three.
Narcotics like cocaine and meth increase the heart rate, as they cause a sympathetic surge (adrenaline rush).
It not only causes an increased heart rate but it can cause your coronary arteries (the blood vessels to your heart) to constrict (squeeze), resulting in heart attacks due to not enough blood and oxygen getting to the cardiac tissue.
Additionally, cocaine has been shown to accelerate the process of atherosclerosis (plaque build-up inside arteries) which can lead to heart attacks as well.
In other words, you can make your 20 year old arteries look like those of a 60 year old.
Autism is usually used to describe a difficulty in understanding social situations. People who have autism may have difficulty understanding what is appropriate in conversation, interpersonal relations, or interacting with large groups of people by displaying “strange” behaviors.
These can include talking for great lengths of time about certain subjects past the group’s interest, or being unable to pick up on social cues (being uninterested in a certain topic of conversation, subtle clues towards guiding the direction of a conversation, etc.).
Autistic people process information on people with the ‘objects’ part of the brain, instead of the ‘social’ part. Thus, social norms and effects of ones behaviour on others are not considered, relevant or even understood.

In order to answer this, I think it’d be best to lay out the exact pros and cons of being a chef. The public seems to believe in its own misconceptions about these rewards and benefits, but let me assure you, there is no audience to applaud us, and there are no Emeril-style “BAM” moments in real life.
So, what is the chef life really like? What are the “hardships” that come along with such an unpredictable career? Let’s take a look:

It was like being in a car accident. Everything was fast, then it was suddenly slow motion. I was running down on punt coverage against Dallas last season, like I’ve done a thousands times before. I pushed off on my blocker. I turned to my left. I saw a white jersey.
Car crash.
