This user lives in Canada, you wouldn't know them.

Haha :)

Well, it's a long story but we had other things in common and were both pretty young dudes thrown together by circumstance. As he got older he turned into a mean drunk (just to other men, he was a real charmer with the ladies and as far as I know didn't take that home with him but that would make him unique among others I've known like that so I could be wrong).

We drifted apart after we stopped working together then he showed up out of the blue at my apartment one night really late (I didn't have a phone at the time ), sold me a good fly rod, smoked my stash, and flew to another continent the next morning. I haven't heard from him in almost 30 years. :)

I just wrote a similar thing because I was too lazy to read this. This is correct.

This is true unless the people are total idiots and no committed to taking you out. I used to hang out with a complete ass who was constantly getting into altercations. He could throw a punch. He'd get all these guys lined up shoving him and just drop one if them. There was one time when a guy got back up and came at him and that turned into a headlock and three punches.

The difference here is an experienced street fighter against a bunch of green college boys.

He would let bouncers handle him and kick him out, etc.

I also had a cousin who had rep as a fighter and jumped a lot. He could handle three guys too, same idea. Take one out fast

Me? Total wimp. I was always so relived when I didn't have to do anything but act like I'd back someone up. :)

My body tells me that every time I get out of a chair, thanks. :)

No, but the possibility exists.

The prayer took much longer than the deliberation which took about 12 seconds.

Until I moved here I thought having a swastika on your truck would mean you'd find it on fire the first night you parked near other people.

What happens when someone takes control of the guidance? A bomb dropped from the sky is going to obey the laws of physics and that's it.

How does being closer to Eliza than Her make you feel?

My technique is an initial conversation, then a soft skills interview, then a technical interview where I get a senior Dev to sit in. Long process but has excellent outcomes.

I'm actually in complete agreement, was just goofing around. I did use one, though. My grades went up because my handwriting was so bad. It was before computers were widely available but we had a computer lab at school. There was no way to get in there unless you were in a class using it that term. I did have a c64 but no printer. And so on.

I have worked in a lot of kitchens where English was the standard language but different groups spoke Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, German, Swiss German, French, Arabic, Croatian, Tamil, etc. (not always the same time) and we just needed to work so the language was rudimentary and often literal translations.

"Put me three eggs" meaning "get me three eggs".

"I make it" meaning "I'll do it".

And so on.

"Close the fire" would be "turn off the burner".

I figured out at some point that "close" was like closing a switch. And that things like me, my, mine were not always easy for people. You'd hear "put me lettuce in fridge".

I want to be very clear I am not making fun of anyone. I sounded exactly the same when I was saying stuff in non-English (e.g. the garde manger were all Spanish at one place so they used it and when I worked their section I'd try to use it).

Edit - we talked like this outside of work too when having a beer "baby 3 now, get cake in morning, grows fast!". Good friends learn each others languages better but its mostly vocabulary and not grammar.

All his followers look in the mirror every morning. He is their ego projected. They will feel rage vicariously as if they were the ones being robbed of their dignity and dig in further.

I used typewriters in high school. Wait.

I agree with this but really appreciate when people say if they did it with a team and what their role is.

I see resumes from people a year out "school" saying they did stuff in three months that takes a team of senior devs that long. I'm looking for honest team members. That experience is valuable and it's ok to be the person who played a supporting role.

Exactly, at 40 you can google how to do any chore. I was doing chores at a very early age and enjoyed the sense of contributing to the household and the independence.

I have a kid and a dog. A chewed dog toy of the "incredibly hard for aggressive chewers" is like stepping on Lego sharpened by Japanese swordsmiths who then used it to make new teeth for a piranha that's biting your foot.

They issue credit and lenders finance this. There's always a bank.
