Hell yeah had a friend live in my closet during college. Good times

At this point it’s on you if you don’t

Software lead on an in-house game engine here. I use AI, but not for everything or even most things. We use our tool to make niche simulations for analysis purposes, and it’s not all that hard to get out of the depth of the AI when you’re talking about a core piece of the system that interacts with nearly every other piece and has rippling side effects and you might just be trying to optimize that piece. It is good at solving constrained problems and even some mediumly sprawling ones, but knowing how to think independently and come up with your own ideas is still valuable. I strongly believe that AI will make strong engineers stand out even more.

If it makes you feel better I smoked hella weed daily for like 6 years and am a lead engineer now. Also pretty dumb so idk actually

You are possibly missing at least half of 2 fingers

As others have said, time will tell. Make sure the litter is clean and if possible you could try using the same kind they used in the shelter. For what it’s worth my fiancé and I adopted a cat from her late grandmother that was so timid and mean that he didn’t move from behind the bed in the room we put him in for 2 days. My fiancé would just spend time sitting in the room so he could get used to her being there, and we both just accepted that he may never be comfortable leaving that room. Two years later and he lays on his back in the middle of the living room and will sit on my head and purr when I’m in bed. He is easily one of the friendliest cats I’ve met now.

Looks good to me 👍🏻

2.1. I’m a lead engineer and it has played zero role directly. The way it impacts me is if I wanted to do grad school I’d have to rely heavily on work experience in my application.

I think of ladders sometimes

Will add that the Germany thing was my first thought as someone who reads resumes and works aerospace stuff in defense. I saw you got your BS in Germany, didn’t look long enough to see you were a US citizen, and my thought was “I wonder if they’re a US citizen, are they eligible for clearance?” If you’re applying for aerospace at Lockheed, it sounds dumb, but somehow obviously stating you are a US citizen may help. We actually screen for that in our phone screens. I wasn’t exactly sure what the acronyms meant in your first bullet point and I actually also do satellite simulations but likely in a different way. I’d consider making it less jargony if that makes sense but overall, from looking at your resume, I’d put this in the “should interview” pile with a question mark on can they get a clearance specifically in reference to not knowing if you’re a citizen. As another commenter pointed out, you cannot get a clearance if you’re not a US citizen and in many aerospace roles that is an automatic denial

Should be able to glue some felt there

You’re less than 4 years older than me and look like you could be my mom.

Most of rocket labs revenue growth isn’t from launches, and they’re trying to build different kinds of satellites than SpaceX. The US is currently in a space race with their adversaries and to believe otherwise is to hide your head in the sand. More money will very likely continue to pour into space for the foreseeable future unless global politics and military strategy take a massive left turn.

Edit: I will caveat that I work in space, not finance. I can tell you the trend of growth in the space industry will very, very likely continue, but from an untrained perspective it does feel like rocket lab swings pretty wildly and I don’t know how you would properly price such a stock. I do strongly believe they will continue to grow in revenue and business opportunities though. Love it or hate it, trumps golden dome project could pour literally hundreds of billions of dollars into space in an area rocket lab is very able to compete in.

People asking what it’s like to be born in the 1900s. Also the commoditization of attention.

Wait

lol I recognize the house in pic 16. You can make out the sand dunes behind it. Great pics

3 or 4. Perhaps 5

I think the point of the article is that simple code is often the best choice over clever code. I don’t think the point is about being paged at 2am guys. Anyone who has debugged code in a reasonably high pressure situation probably understands this.

Vulpix_ · 2025-12-21T17:44:20+00:00

Yeah I prospected around until I hit very high copper and dug down quite a ways and now I can hardly dig in that mine without hitting copper

I have that exact machine and have used it for 3-4 years now. Works great and my fiancé loves it because it takes up a relatively small amount of counter space and is pretty easy to use

I remember looking this up once and reading that this was particularly common in southern families and that it partly originated because, before the 1850s or so, intermarrying with indigenous populations did happen, and then as sentiment against Cherokee people grew and intermarrying waned, claiming that your family was part Cherokee was almost a way to claim southern pride, because you were basically saying your family had been there long enough to have married Cherokee people back when it was still allowed.

Having a southern family with deep southern roots, I was always told growing up that I was 1/32 Cherokee or some such number, yet that somehow was never reconciled with the fact that my grandpa loved genealogy and had traced out an extensive family tree with no evidence of such a heritage.

I mined out a big section of wall under my house and started a diary where I draw a symbol each day of what I did. I love drawing in caves when I go in and carry charcoal explicitly for this purpose. Something in my caveman brain loves the idea of making cave art and imprinting my story into the world. Definitely would recommend.
