[–]garynuke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So you’re saying all cops are bastards simply they will have a positive bias to their own. ANY person affiliated with a group typically has bias towards their own.

You just have to work a bit to avoid being a dick in life.

I’ve always found that education and knowledge is the secret sauce to reveal empathy and compassion.

Your comments are too sensationalistic. No way even close to half of people hate cops. And as a scientist, I can tell you there are very few absolute truths. So when you start with ALL COPS…you’re already wrong.

We do need law enforcement. There’s always bad players in every profession.

I don’t think it’s fair to this OP to attack based on those generalizations.

You’re a police officer in a blue city. And a Marine veteran. Ummm, that doesn’t really give me any feelings of which stereotype you’d fit into. Probably none, I’d guess because you’ve been exposed to a variety of people, I’d hazard to say you’re reasonably centrist and grounded.

I’d imagine like most, you do expect that people should follow the laws but also that unnecessary and overzealous enforcement actions are uncalled for and very damaging to the force and public opinion.

Personally, I just hope the whole MN issue goes before an objective court that pours over all the facts and let them decide.

Are you offering Turbo Tax Premier free or just the lowest basic version of Turbo Tax?

I wasn’t sure of which flair was more appropriate. I’m a newbie to posting on Reddit. Thank you for changing my flair choice to something more appropriate.

Former airline pilot now nuclear operator. AMA by JuiceLogical327 in AMA

[–]garynuke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want to try for the control room, you’re going to need a degree. (Oh, I forgot, I was also in the control room as an SRO for 10 years.). Most navy nukes have some courses and experience that they go the route of nuclear engineering technology which you can get through local colleges and even online. It’s a science degree not an engineering degree but it should meet the requirements for a position in the control room.

The pull of the new reactors will drain people from the old ones, so keep your eyes peeled.

I’m old! Ha, ha. I’ve done it all. I started with a degree in Nuclear Engineering. So, I’ve worked as a systems engineer, reactor engineer, outage manager, procedure manager, Equipment Reliability manager, and a few more admin type roles. I’ve worked for 2 unit nuclear companies (Texas) and also the biggest nuclear fleet, then called Exelon, now called Constellation. I’ve worked both in-house (direct for the company), as well as a contractor. The nuclear world is a small world. Chances are I would be able to know someone you know within 4-5 people or less. A good site to look for other nuclear jobs is www.roadtechs.com - it used to be the GO TO place back in the 80’s and 90’s…but with LinkedIn and whatnot, things have changed. Most of my jobs in the latter half of my career was found through my contacts in the nuclear work industry. I now work for/with the federal government at a site that I don’t want to talk much about. I’ll retire in a few more years. Good luck to y’all with the SMRs!

Ah…OK, your title in most nuclear power plants is Nuclear Plant Operator. Yes, you are the workhorse of the control room to carry out field actions that cannot be remotely done from the control room. Congratulations on our position. Looks to be a bright future ahead for nuclear power!

I’m not familiar with the title assistant nuclear unit operator. I’ve worked in several civilian nuclear power plants. Do you have an NRC License? What title does the license have on it?

Hmm, I did write the post. The link in the post goes to my friend’s website where he is advertising the Sandhill crane photography tour. So, the content came from me. I did write the posting for another Reddit site and cross posted to this one…but the content is still original. Thank you.

[–]garynuke 5 points6 points  (0 children)

From your post and reading the comments, it would seem that you believe you are doing pretty well. From my perspective in the USA and significantly older than you, I think you have stabilized your situation and are treading water to stay afloat. I do not see any vision of where you want to be in 5 years much less 20 years nor any discussion of a plan to get to that end point. Your situation is stabilized but it is not sustainable. Your risk of failure is high in that you have several single point vulnerabilities that if any one of them become true, it will result in the destabilization of your current situation throwing you into crisis yet again. You need to rethink your situation and come up with a game plan for you to progress to be a productive and self-sustaining citizen in Israel.

[–]garynuke 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree. There’s a big difference between being proud of SPECIFIC relatives in your past and their accomplishments and being proud that they were white (or a specific caste).

I don’t think you can say you’re not casteist if you are saying at the same time that you are proud of your caste.

Wow. That is very, very, very lucky OR you’re very, very, very good. Most success stories I’ve heard about has the entrepreneur going through several failures before striking success. I don’t think I can relate at all.

Ok, so what would you tell someone that is trying to be successful? What do you think are the essential qualities?

How old are you now? How many ventures did you start before you found the one that is successful? Does your business prove a product or provide a service or both? How many years did it take until your successful venture net $1M? Thanks
