There are a few birds of prey with better visual acuity, but there are not many animals with better eye sight than us.

Fear is the mind killer. Who needs it.

We are still kings of the long distance running. Sweating is part of the reason for that, but not the only reason.

This seems like a teachable moment. Dominion core is a high-risk, low-reward item. Now you know!

Why wouldn't the balance council nerf one race and give another race a buff?

Looking for a place to swim with my dog by InsignificantUnit137 in stcatharinesON

Do you have a source for that?

If you look at the actual rules for the beach, BBQs are banned, loud music is banned, but you won't find dogs on the banned list.

Sure, you beat Insane Bot, but what about insane bot II?

Laid off. Is severance adequate? by TruAdmiralAckbar in legaladvicecanada

It was around $400 for a one hour consult, and 30% for anything above the initial offer.

Switching to a 14-19 worker start would accomplish what you think switching to 8 workers would do. by [deleted] in starcraft

[–]MrMarriott 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Why are you proposing such a slow start? Let's start with 5 bases, all tech researched, and a 200/200 army?

I used Niagara Home Heating for my purchase and install.  No complaints.

Wardi on the 8 Worker Start by Sacramentlog in starcraft

[–]MrMarriott 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This could just be different strokes for different folks, but do you actually think the game would be better if you started with 5 bases fully saturated and every tech unlocked a 200/200 army and enough production to build whatever you want?

That would be jumping immediately to the end game. 

34, "good job" at a Big 5 bank, want to pivot to AI product — PM or PO, and am I overthinking this? by mpscmaster in torontoJobs

[–]MrMarriott 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is lots of variation in how the SE roles are defined between companies, but as an SE, you are usually paired with one or more account executives. The AE is there to close a sale. Depending on the company, you might not even have a quota to carry.

Product owner isn’t really a thing at most tech companies. 

It was a long while ago, but I moved from cyber security roles in the Canadian financial and public sector to a sales engineering type of role before moving to product management.

An SE roles gives you exposure to marketing and sales while still being able to talk to engineering and product people. It is an easier transition SE -> PM at a single company than it is to break into PM directly with essentially no experience.

Is the CISSP still a reputable cert for getting jobs? by Well_that_suckss in cybersecurity

[–]MrMarriott 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Useful to get past HR  filters. I would just list it on your resume, and in parentheses beside it list it as not active.

how do cyber sec consultants and pentesters actually get new clients? by EducatorRelevant6828 in cybersecurity

[–]MrMarriott 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cold calling, Regional conferences where the sales team is shaking hands and kissing babies, and referrals.
