  • Some operational security questions: What’s this trainee doing? Why was it a trainee noticing things being put in backpacks? Why was the trainee the one notifying security?

    Are there protocols in place for media being brought in or out of the facility and its workstations? Why or why not? Was the trainee the only one who reviewed them recently enough to notice a breach and alert?

    But most importantly and at any rate you don’t do the grand heist on the last day. Rookie move.












  • Well first there’s the cutting technology. Scything is ancient. Industrial production of push mowers using cylinder blades were developed in the 1800s and the more modern gas powered rotary cutters came along in the 19th century with many other self-propelled and automated mechanisms. This started with coal and wood fired agricultural equipment used for processing, like threshing and winnowing. As internal combustion engines (gas powered) developed in the 20th century more equipment and processes could be incorporated on-site and in-field.



  • Surveying can be some worthwhile science gigwork.

    Years ago I did some work with a research institute that was counting shellfish populations that was almost exactly this. A few weeks for a few summers hiking tidal zones. Most of the crews were college students, but not as interns or as a part of any programs. Some were just locals looking for some work.

    I just don’t think a lot of that work is advertised outside colleges.
