I was there in 2009 and the sun came out just after the rain as I was walking along the base. I forgot this until the algorithm showed me your post. Thanks for unlocking this memory.

Outdoor sprinklers at balconies and overhangs keep fire from spreading up - see Grenfell for an example of fire spreading upwards (but under very different circumstances).

Sprinklers have to have coverage of the whole area. Little closets and recesses interfere with the main room heads and if you've got a sprinkler in the recess, the recess walls block coverage to the main room. So, multiple sprinklers! Yay! They are not bonus clothes hangers.

Is there something we can do about this other than calling our leaders in DC?

Agreed! Tied with the screaming penguin for which made me laugh more

I hate that I'm thankful for New Jersey right now.

Huh! I haven't applied for a job in years, so I didn't know this! Thanks for the intel. That said, we still get cover letters written by AI instead of responses to our prompts, and a friend just applied for a job in private industry and had to submit a cover letter, so they still exist in the wild.

In our case, we ask them to answer three prompts about their alignment with our mission that wouldn't normally come up in resumes. It's the main thing we evaluate before looking at resume.

I checked it out. It still wasn't clear. Perhaps something to pass on for improved customer experience? Thank you!

Basically - do I have to get off one train and find another, or can I stay in my seat?

It was a punch in the gut I was NOT expecting. Crying and anxious? Yeah...

Hi! How long will you be in town?
