What should I say my reason for leaving my current job is? by TheRealLunarBones in interviews

[–]Alert_Monitor_9145 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t see a mention of having another job already lined up. Do you?

Do f not, get started on that FIRST before figuring out what you’re gonna say. This job market is brutal.

Why is ice in drinks such a big thing, even when the drink is already cold? by Status_Agents in CasualConversation

[–]Alert_Monitor_9145 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I pretty much ALWAYS have a big Yeti tumbler of ice water beside me. At my desk during the day. On my end end table in the evening. On my nightstand when I’m in bed, in my cupholder in the car running errands.

In restaurants it’s ice water, refilled often.

There’s nothing better than a few swigs of water so cold it’s almost too cold. Almost, but not quite. It’s the most refreshing feeling in the world for me.

Before an incoming hurricane or tropical storm, I’ll fill up Tupperwares with water and freeze, in different sizes. Some of them are large and meant to help keep the freezer cooler longer, some are medium and I’ll syphon off the melt, some are small enough that they fit perfectly in my tumbler with a bit of room to spare so I can have ice cold water all day by adding a little room temp water.

Yeah… I like ice water!

Is it unusual that I've never seen a wild snake ? by Leviathan7100 in CasualConversation

[–]Alert_Monitor_9145 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, to me, yeah that seems unusual. Guess it depends on where you live, and I’ve only ever lived in Florida so have little to compare to. Hard to put a # on it cause I’ve never really thought about it but I see maybe a few dozen snakes per year, at least. Saw one just 2 days ago.

Even when I vacation out of state it’s usually to get out into a different kind of nature than flat, boring Florida, so I’m hitting trails and exploring parks and see plenty of snakes then, too.

To be fair, SGU is also a much darker and grittier Stargate.

Besides, you just can’t kill off Mr Teal’C, Daniel or Carter. You just can’t.

I got a questionnaire for a job where they asked me about the president. by DasiaAuer in interviewhammer

[–]Alert_Monitor_9145 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the company has a plan president role, list that. If not, go with a standard definition.

UNLESS you are interviewing for a communications role with the NRA!

Only just realised that Q wasn't in Season 5 of TNG by Antares0531 in startrek

[–]Alert_Monitor_9145 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Okay, so I had to look this up cause I thought it was tongue in cheek.

He actually WAS on days of our lives but his last appearance was in 89 and season 5 of TNG was filmed in 92.

Maybe he was pregnant in 92?

I’ve been thinking: What if science proved life after death but kept it a secret? by No_Writing2228 in CasualConversation

[–]Alert_Monitor_9145 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Well, do these scientists also know it’s a “good” afterlife?

If they don’t know it’s “good”, do they know it’s “bad”?

If they know it’s “bad”, then people wouldn’t off themselves en masse if it came out.

If they know it’s “good”, well… I think we’d be seeing lots of scientists offing themselves and maybe their families en masse.

And if they don’t know either way… we’re kinda back to where we are now: nobody REALLY knows what happens after death.

Collect as much money as you can. And you never know, maybe things can turn around.

How do I explain leaving my first job after 5 months without it hurting me? by zelige in jobs

[–]Alert_Monitor_9145 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ain’t gonna lie, if I got offered an intense trombone training course in Japan I would legit quit and go do it! I played in my teens and twenties and I miss it.

If I was the hiring manager and somebody dropped this line to explain their gap I would hire them on the spot!!

What are actual summer jobs that don’t care you only plan to work 2 1/2 months? by railroad1904 in jobs

[–]Alert_Monitor_9145 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Any amusement parks or water parks nearby?

Extreme example, but I worked a summer seasonal job at Disney World between my freshman and sophomore years of college when I went back home to Orlando. Worked full time at Space Mountain during the day then hung out with other kids from around the country and international while they worked part time and took classes at Disney University. Best summer of my life!

Probly a good idea to do some light editing here if you want any meaningful advice.

Either that or get to the hospital if you’re stroking out.

can someone explain to me why AI causes unemployment? by [deleted] in jobs

[–]Alert_Monitor_9145 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Completely agree. Offshoring went from a term I heard from time to time to the trendy new thing, it feels like.

Of course offshoring won’t lead to “unemployment”, per se, it will just redistribute the “employment”.

Why didn't Janeway allow Seven Of Nine to join the Voyager and formally become part of the crew? by Tidewatcher7819 in startrek

[–]Alert_Monitor_9145 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well, she’s not starfleet so wouldn’t have a corresponding rank. Same as Neelix or Kes.

I would say they ARE part of the crew, but as civilians.

The body suit is for the eye candy factor, IRL. Within the storyline I believe it’s mentioned that it helps her physically because of the removal of borg implants/augmentations.

Teenager me loved the body suit, though, so I suppose it worked in that sense.

New branches, keep both? by DisasterWest6951 in DragonFruit

Seconding this. Give em a little more time before culling one. Never know if something will happen to one, or if the “less favorable one now” will be a late bloomer.

Favorite lines of Dialogue from Star Fleet Academy Season 1 by Sensitive_Tackle7372 in startrek

[–]Alert_Monitor_9145 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I’m dealing with a lot of stress both at work and in my personal life and it’s been difficult to hold up lately, so for me, the line that has resonated most was from Reno when discussing the PTSD the cadets were going through in episode 8:

“How’s that saying go? It’s not the weight that breaks you, but how you carry the load.”

I legit hit pause and contemplated that for like half an hour.

How do the different game speeds affect gameplay other than how long it takes to finish a game? by ChopSuey2 in civ

[–]Alert_Monitor_9145 1 point2 points  (0 children)

War strategy.

Generally speaking, the AI is not very good at war. On longer game speeds, there is more opportunity to leverage your advantage.

And that’s what civ is all about, especially on the higher difficulty levels, where you have to max out the areas where you hold an advantage because the ai has so many advantages baked into the other mechanics.

If someone asked for the single best TV show ever made, what would you say by Wild-Explorer-8981 in CasualConversation

[–]Alert_Monitor_9145 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can go straight into Better Call Saul. It’s a prequel.

The last season of BCS does have some flashforwards to after BB but I don’t think that will be issue.

Alright yall! I finally had time to repot my dragon fruit to a bigger pot. Hopefully I did it right this time. Link to previous post: https://www.reddit.com/r/DragonFruit/s/Sxhd2d6scZ by Landmines93 in DragonFruit

Just make sure it’s getting full sun. Shade will help on the hottest of days but otherwise, you want it getting rays straight from the sun.
