Sadly, getting more places with less money is absolutely possible, but the key to making it happen is abandoning planetary science. It’s a shift from a paradigm where engineering exists to support planetary science efforts to engineering for engineering’s sake

Then they aren’t a good fit for the position. They need to be moved somewhere they are a better fit or terminated

As I said in another response, not only is yelling a great way to make the workplace hostile for everyone in the general vicinity but it’s also not a particularly effective way to deal with conflict

There are countless better methods to deal with a problem.

I'm sorry but if I work somewhere and find out that a coworker nearly killed me after being politely told not to a half dozen times, I'm going to be furious.

Okay?

I have worked on manufacturing floors and egregious safety violations are an immediately fireable offense. Minor violations get one or two serious talks followed by…. Once again, termination. Someone who can’t be bothered to follow safety protocols shouldn’t remain on the floor.

Yelling at people is not only a great way to make for a hostile workplace for everyone in the general vicinity, its also not a particularly effective way to deal with the problem.

Or, you know, you handle it like a healthy, well adjusted, adult with anger management skills. That’s also an option.

If someone can’t handle mistakes being made without screaming, they have no business being in management and need to spend a little more time in therapy.

I couldn’t care less about this actor. Don’t even know who he is.

That said, yelling at people you work with is never appropriate man. That’s verbal abuse and “they screwed up” is not an excuse. As the power differential grows between two coworkers, it becomes even less acceptable.

I went on a first date with a girl who ordered a slice of “big Mac” cheeseburger pizza with McDonald’s secret sauce and American cheese

She wanted me to try a bite. I did. It was terrible. She loved it

No accounting for taste, I guess

Yup

I think the most under appreciated aspect is that ink can dry out just from sitting around. A lot of the time and “empty” ink cartridge just evaporated off its solvents

Toner lasts forever. Perfect for occasional use

The key is to buy a brother laser printer

It’s black and white but most people rarely have a need for color. Meanwhile, the toner doesn’t dry out like an inkjet printer will

You buy that one $150 inkjet printer and you’re set.

Simplicity and precision.

Who said it was only measured as an integer? Seconds are a decimal value and many timekeeping applications require higher precision than to the millisecond. Referencing an epoch closer to our current time allows greater precision with a single double-precision floating point number.

Want to reference something before J2000? Use a negative number.

It’s independent of earth rotation, so no need to consider leap second updates either unless you are converting to UTC. It’s an absolute measure of time elapsed.

The BEST way is to use the number of seconds after the J2000 epoch (The Gregorian date January 1, 2000, at 12:00 Terrestrial Time)

There is a very reasonable explanation for this: If we are a topic of research for them, they could have simply stopped studying us in the same way

Take our own science for example. We pull out of studies when the funding dries up. Maybe the aliens’ government grant ran out. Or, perhaps they have a policy of avoiding interference with the subjects. They could have changed methodology in response to the threat of high resolution recording equipment

Yeah there is a reason why plane spotters use 400+mm lenses

For the longest time, Reddit allowed some of the most toxic, explicitly hateful, communities out there. It continued to grow very quickly under those circumstances. Furthermore, the more moderate communities continued to exist. It wasn’t until later, when they were trying to monetize, that Reddit started cracking down on the allowed content.

As much as I disagreed with those communities, I think Reddit was a better place when the admin had a looser hand on which communities could it could not exist

Have you never heard of tunes?

Any idiot can make substantial software changes to almost any modern car with easily available inexpensive hardware. Look up Cobb, ECUtek, openflashtablet, Hondata, etc

You literally just plug it into a port and flash the software

And fifth/sixth derivatives are crackle and pop because some physicists thought it would be funny to have it be “snap crackle and pop”

Oldest F-16 I have seen in the air is no more than 50 years old. Oldest biplane I have seen flying was over 100 years old

Ergo, wood and canvas is the superior construction method

I spent most of my 20s doing grassroots campaigning, with a large part of it being protest planning and organization. You generally do not need a permit to conduct protests on public property, even large ones, in the USA.

The exceptions are very specific; i.e. blocking roads may require a permit.

Businesses seeing a drop in revenue as a result of a random patchwork organized online effort for a temporary boycott won't have any effect?

No it won’t. This just means people buy the stuff the another day and is absolutely meaningless to their bottom line

Absolutely.

I lived a lot like this during the 2008 recession. I was always looking for work, but there was none to be had. So we spent all day watching arthouse DVDs from the library, having sex, cooking, making art, and talking philosophy in our 250 square foot apartment. At times, it was truly beautiful.

However, there came a time after a year or so where the money really ran out and we got evicted. The relationship imploded and it all went to shit.

My takeaway is that, for long term happiness, stability is important too.

If you wanted it spelled right, you should have talked to an englisher
