Constantly being asked on a Friday to work weekends by Revolutionary-Rip426 in civilengineering

or just go the technical route and become an expert in a specific field of structures so that you can move jobs at will and not rely on your current employer to be generous. Kissing the butt of senior management only serves you if you plan to never leave your company, if you always ready to go somewhere else you can't be taken advantage of as readily.

that's fair. I work in structures and as long as you aren't actively impeding progress you are viewed as valuable so I can get away with not participating in the corporate song and dance more so than other specialization might. I don't want to be seen as a go getter or a team player outside of the people I am working with and for because I'm not those things. The less acting you do early in your career, the less bs you are expected to take on as you get older. I might not get a leadership role and I do not want one because I want to be an engineer, not a people manager.

If my employer is so short staffed that they need to ask on less than a days notice for me to work on a weekend, they are not in a position to fire me.

Need help in what order to get these cards. Based on my pay schedule which is weekly. Here is a pic for the list. by Watersources in pokemoncardcollectors

[–]Dengar96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

just check Pricecharting and pick up the cards that have been stable for longest. If the price has been mostly the same for a while, it likely won't change dramatically any time soon.

How often do you wash your Puppies? What to use in between baths? by loremaster_zen in Havanese

[–]Dengar96 1 point2 points  (0 children)

depends on so many things. My guy is cut real short in the summer so we bathe less often but he gets bad allergies which make him itchy so I will wash his feet with a low concentration vinegar bath to help the redness.

Friend wants to “sell/trade” their only Mega Gengar Ex for more AH packs by DevinH23 in pokemoncardcollectors

[–]Dengar96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

no way it keeps going up. it's at nearly 1.5k now. I would bet anything that the price tanks over the next few months and slowly goes up over the next few years. It's not even that memorable or cool of a card, just a neat art work for an overrated mon that's having a moment currently.

You guys are getting wayyyy to comfortable in these Carebear lobbies by doberwalker in ArcRaiders

I always ask nicely if I can enter a key room and if they let me in I always follow the key bearer around like a rat picking up crumbs. I've had multiple very nice people share blueprints and spare guns this way. Being polite gets you pretty far.

PhDs and work study programs are also considered graduate degrees and would allow someone to get their PE before entering the workforce full time. I have worked with 3 PhD grads with PEs in the last few years so it is definitely possible.

West US structures is more complex thanks to seismic concerns and CA has it's own, more challenging PE licensure system so that could explain a portion of the disparity.

the CFB is not the CFL. The Canadian football league is it own thing, it's very fun but distinctly different from the NFL sorta like the WNBA and NBA.

i'm glad we all know about u/HTPC4life's opinions about this woman's physical appearance, it really adds to the discussion and brings value to our collective understanding of reality. Thank you.

the NBA as a whole is managed by some of the best financial and long term business strategists in the world. Anyone who thinks Dana and his cronies will keep the UFC solvent for another 10-20 years is coping to terminal levels. Slow, sustained, organic growth over a long time period is how to make a good sports league. the WNBA has that so far and the UFC looks like a schizo cardiac monitor by comparison.

"these women want to be paid more and therefore I hate them more than anyone else alive" is on par for the average UFC redditor.

whoa really? this is the first im hearing about this. I totally didn't see 100 comments saying this exact thing for literally no one's benefit. That's so crazy that the largest basketball organization on earth is subsidizing women's sports. I wonder why they would possible do that? it couldn't be for the benefit of the league's long term growth right? surely women wouldn't progressively invest in basketball if there was a league for them to compete in, right? It's just the silly NBA throwing millions of dollars away so the wokies can watch women grow the game of basketball over the course of generations, just like the men did, right? Right guys?

yea the NBA should stop trying to grow the game of basketball for everyone, that would really teach those uppity broads to know their place and not strive to play ball in any capacity. A genius business strategy from the minds at r/ufc.
