As a manager that has to do dozens of performance reviews, stop using AI to write your self eval. You used to give me a bulleted list that was quick and human readable. Im gonna start putting character limits on them because all AI is doing is wasting my time
Exactly this. Ive got too much shit in my brain to remember this. Not to mention, you called while im at [place] and cant dedicate brain power to you. Remember this isnt the days of land lines where you had to be home, and available to answer the phone, and most people kept note pads right next to the phone so they could write down that information
Did not see that coming. I just assumed like in engineering, its never the actual final. Thats how you end up with file names like project_rev2.6_final_ver6
Edit: or this gem of an easter egg from paw patrol
Kinda yeah. Every bill is a negotiation. One side isnt going to straight up agree to a bill presented by the other side without pushing them for a little bit more. And one thing leads to another and the bill is too bloated to make sense anymore
Seeing the stocks green on one day and saying anything about uncertainty is about as disingenuous as saying there can't be global warming because im holding a snowball
The caption changed the way i saw the expression. At first i saw attacking bear. Then i saw a concerned friend with his arms out trying to deescalate the situation
If you have morals and standards, its not hard to take a stance on every issue. If you support education, it doesnt take much looking into anything about education to understand how decisions fit into your worldview. And even if you support some aspects of one side and some from the other, you still have to pick a side because welcome to Americas 2 party system.
My experience with many users on lemmy who support "critical thinking" are not actually advocating critical thinking. Theyre trying to justify their mental gymnastics while simultaneously feeding their self-righteous egos
It really depends on what you specialized in and what you want to do. If youre in engineering and your university gets funding from a company, can be an easy path to employment.
That said, in general, the type of person who wants a phd doesn't always have the same mindset as someone who doesnt. A big part of engineering in practice is realizing when you have enough information to make a decision and how to quickly and cheaply obtain that information, and that doesn't always align with the work scope that gives the best information.
I feel the same way. Im 1 phase removed, but have been very lucky in dodging them too.
01 i was in high school, 08 i was in college with minimal expenses. I was paying $975 per quarter for room and board including 9 prepare meals a week and had enough school ships that my quarterly tuition was also under $1000, coupled with an engineering coop 1/2 the year, i came out financially ahead.
Covid i was a salaried essential worker who had to work 3 days a week but still got paid full salary. That made the lack of available child care bearable. I also had a house that i purchased with 3.25% mortgage.
This next one im feeling already. I moved for my wifes job this year, so that new mortgage rate sucks
