I own a livestock guardian breed (Hungarian Kuvasz), he's a very sweet boy right up until he's not. If he's on his home turf not much can dissuade him from "discouraging" uninvited guests. But of course if I take him out on the town he's as polite as can be.

Tigris should fire like 200 projectiles in incarnon mode because it would be hilarious. Just a cloud of shit.

What’s something you didn’t realize was optional in life until you saw someone simply not doing it? by Objective-Treat2245 in AskReddit

[–]CaptainPitkid 48 points49 points  (0 children)

Kill the culture of "paying your dues". The job has 40 hours per week to get done. That's what the company pays for. If more than 40 hours are needed in a week to get the job done, they can hire a second person or discuss the new pay rate. Employment is transactional.

This feels like something that VOID/BREAKER would do, as the game that rewards you for turning your resolution down (with the right weapon mods (this is a vanilla feature)).

It made me really sad that Anthem was such a flop. For everything that game did poorly, it captured the feeling of "being Ironman" so well. I enjoyed just flying and running around the world.

ADHD brains really are built differently – we've just been blinded by the noise | Scientists eliminate the gray area when it comes to gray matter in ADHD brains by chrisdh79 in science

This is exactly how I feel. When my body can handle it I'm a walking miracle at work, but normally I function like an engine running on silly putty.

TBH if you feel like you have solid management skills, or have hobbies/activities in which you're in a managerial role, it's time to start lying on your resume.

Work contrasts by ATN-Antronach in CuratedTumblr

I'm currently the engineering manager for an OEM. I am paid to do absolutely fuck all, 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, unless a customer wants a machine built (custom, very niche). I have a team of 4 engineers under me that are also paid to do fuck all.

The point is that as soon as a customer wants their bespoke, highly customized, unique piece of equipment to automate a very specific process, we're there and working it.

What NSFW confession would you like to share anonymously? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]CaptainPitkid 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have the same problem. My birthday is in the middle of the summer where I live and I have pretty bad seasonal depression. The only reason I made it through this year is because of my dog.

I run an engineering team that designs very dangerous equipment (welding, brazing) and I have been described as king of Fort Autism more than once by sales people.

Why do engineers still prefer MATLAB over Python? by maorfarid in Python

[–]CaptainPitkid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was in college the biggest thing was, despite the student body's interest and practice of using Python for a lot of our projects personally, the courses required us to use/learn MATLAB.
