All it really amounts to is a small headstart. It seems like a big gap initially because you’re comparing 0 years of experience vs 2 years of experience.
But across a 30 year career its a mere 7% difference. Frankly after 5 to 10 years of experience it becomes a lot less about how long you’ve worked, it instead becomes more about how you’ve spent those years and how that translates into benefitting the company. When a company is hiring for mid level and above, it doesn’t really matter to them that someone has 8 years vs 10 years. An extreme example would be someone with 5 years at Google vs someone who spent 10 years jumping between small start ups.
Trump is already a loser president.
If those genes didn’t exist, you can be pretty sure that lineage would be less likely to survive.
2·3 months agoI’d argue that the whole damn system was either corrupt or broken beyond repair. The fact that they “won” in the end and got to simply go on with their lives is pretty much evil winning out.
It would also have been a much more interesting story if they let Clyde win or escalated the havoc he unleashed even further. But it seems they ran out of ideas and or budget by the time they started wrapping up the final act. So that’s a second time evil wins again.
That sucks.
All I can say is polish up the ol’ resume and start searching while you have the security of a (shitty)job
I was a casualty of this mid-career. Made redundant in the middle of the covid pandemic. I managed to scrape things together and called a few contacts who helped me out and put in a good word for me. Helped me secure employment. I’m in a better environment now than I was back then. But it was a terrifying experience being made redundant at a snap of a finger.
Why would you wish this one anyone?
This has got to be the most naive statement on crypto and laundering. Crypto are so easily laundered not because of traceability but because of the huge and rapid swings in value, Unexpected wealth is easily justified. Large sums are easily laundered by scripting thousands of transactions.
How can you tell someone is a Linux user?
Don’t worry they’ll tell you
This data is anything but beautiful. Its horrendously laid out. Not intuitive in the slightest.
No. There are some tool sizes that simply will not fit. Especially if the bolt and tool are made to the correct tolerances.
The closest measurement to 1/4" is 6mm but it will simply not fit because 1/4" is 6.35mm. theres a big enough difference between the metric measurement and that you can’t use it.
6·6 months agoGood question.
Yes the dry powder type which is most common, can go “bad” usually from excessive moisture in the pressurization gas. This causes the powder to clump and no longer come out.
This can be prevented by inverting the extinguisher a few times a year to make sure the powder is still “fluid” and to break up any clumped up powder.
Sounds like what the Oceangate CEO said about industry safety requirements for submersibles.
Even if we agree that it causes visual pollution, I’d argue that visual pollution from fossil fuels is many multitudes worse. Case in point, major chinese and indian cities.
Upvote for coming back to correct a mistake
Case in point. Great video of all the work the manufacturer made to keep the gun compliant. Its quite funny when you look at it.
You know it when you go to work and it doesn’t feel like work. It doesn’t feel like an absolute drag to get out of bed.
I’m an HVAC engineer. I love my job, to me it’s like spending all day solving logic puzzles or a detective mystery. I found I was pretty good at it about 6 months into the job, when I figured out a problem the senior techs couldn’t. I enjoy being out and about instead of chained to a desk.
A job/career doesn’t have to be a passion. Just something you don’t dread everyday. My passion is in sports but somehow engineering was something I was good at, it felt satisfying fixing things. I’d never make my passion my job cause I know it would completely ruin it for me.
