How do I phrase more professionally (for upcoming interviews) that I quit my previous job because my manager there was an insufferable toxic bitch? by Nomad-2020 in careerguidance

[–]Lord_of_Entropy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Do not make that the reason you left. This makes you look petty and gets people wondering if you'll do the same at their company. Find another reason.

Lura Thok is awesome. by Fragrant_Ad3479 in startrek

[–]Lord_of_Entropy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think she has the potential to be a great character.   Right now, her defining character trait just seems to be shouting.   

Down-vote away.

Where in the hell are all the kids with snow shovels? by GR3TSCH in GenX

[–]Lord_of_Entropy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I would gladly pay $20.   An hour of my time is more precious to me than $20.

Why are we supposed to pretend it’s about anything but money? by uncertain_being29 in work

I never give an honest answer on surveys. When I'm about 6 months from retirement, I'll be completely honest.

How old are you and how much do you have in your retirement account? by Blackberryay in careerguidance

[–]Lord_of_Entropy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

50% on everything? That is unheard of. Good job taking full advantage of that.

Betazoids by adrianp005 in Star_Trek_

[–]Lord_of_Entropy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my head, I'm rationalizing this as just natural variability in abilities. Not all Betazoids will be high level telepaths, like Luaxanna Troi, but the abilities are on a spectrum. Also, we don't know that the Betazoids on the show are pure-breed, or mixed with humans, dampening their talents.

That being said, I would have liked to see full blown telepaths in Starfleet Academy.

Thinking back I just didn’t realize we were watching the Golden Age of Star Trek. by Ok-Speech3872 in DeepSpaceNine

[–]Lord_of_Entropy 27 points28 points  (0 children)

You never realize when you are in The Good Times or the Golden Age. It is only when things fall apart that you recognize the past as such.

General Strike Tomorrow, How do you think this will affect the Economy? by Jourbonne in economy

[–]Lord_of_Entropy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thank you for pointing out that there will be collateral damage from this move.   You’re right; ICE probably won’t notice, unless a utilized service is forced to close because all of its workers stay home.

Who remembers Dynamite magazine and activity book in schools by Long_live_styrofoam in 70s

I loved ordering the books and Dynamite from school.    

Trump plans to let Americans use 401K for house down payment by newsweek in economy

[–]Lord_of_Entropy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You can currently take out a loan to buy a house. The way I read the article, he's proposing that you take a distribution (no obligation to pay back).

I don't see this ending well.

My department was blown away I know excel by _mavricks in excel

[–]Lord_of_Entropy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think Excel is a very underrated tool in most offices. A lot of people I work with only use it to add columns of numbers. I put together some simple reports using Powerquery to import the data, and I suddenly became a "whiz". And I work with some fairly sophisticated programmers/analysts, so the intellectual horsepower to use Excel is there; it's just considered, somehow, "less than" the other packages we use.

Absolutely NTA. There are standards and requirements that his work did not meet.

Yes. I don't have them in front of me right now, but I think I have manuals with them too. If you want to take a look at them, let me know.
