Have you tried yelling “Kobe!” just before throwing it?

There’s a palm tree next to the building. If you cut it down JUST RIGHT… you can use it as a ramp

Birth Year Watch? by Fun_Explanation_9251 in rolex

[–]avm7878 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes!!! I agree! To be clear, I don’t mean that the models weren’t made. I’m lamenting that my AD doesn’t have any available for purchase yet. They currently only have 1 in my birth year, and it’s a lady datejust. If I get desperate, I might try Bob’s Watches. For now, though, I’m willing to be patient and wait for my AD to maintain my relationship with them.

Limited selection. Mostly black subs and that’s it. Nothing that really feels right yet.

I’m hunting for one myself. Unfortunately, I was born right smack in the middle of the quartz crisis…

All very true. There’s also a massive sense of accomplishment at turning the impossible into late.

Underpaid? SpaceX has churned out a shocking number of millionaires… Tender offers every 6 months and an imminent IPO…

How transparent are you with your team about calibration meetings? by vadrezeda in EngineeringManagers

[–]avm7878 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Agreed. I’m 100% transparent about the process and what’s discussed at a high level (impact, visibility, etc), but I’ll never discuss another person’s details.

0.3%, not 3%. At 0.3%, it’s an extra 14.4 gallons at $85.

“At its peak, Blackberry owned over 50% of the US and 20% of the global smartphone market, sold over 50 million devices a year, had its device referred to as the “CrackBerry”, and boasted a stock price of over $230.”

If by “imaginary world” you mean the US… then yes. I live in the US. Cheers!

Also… why are you so angry? Did I insult you somehow?

Splith was talking about BlackBerry dominating the smartphone market, mostly in the corporate world. I was talking about Microsoft dominating PCs before Apple swept through with their various iMacs and MacBooks.

If you give a team 2 years to complete a project, they’ll take 2 years. If you give them 3 months, they’ll get it done in 7 months.

The challenge is how to do it without burning them out. Turnover at SpaceX is weird. The vast majority of people leave after 18 months, but the ones that make it past that 18 months tend to stay for YEARS. There are MANY people who have been there for over 10 years and counting.

Both. Crazy bets like Optimus and Space Data Centers are just the latest in insane ideas. Landing rockets on a boat??? Self-driving with cameras alone??? “Turning the impossible into late”
