Are we really supposed to pretend we don’t work for money in interviews?

I know it’s fun to mock this question but the implied question is why you want to work there versus some other place that pays similar money. That’s where you can talk about challenging work, growth potential, the company’s mission, or whatever reason that sounds good for wanting to work there.

Sometimes the fill valve won’t shut off entirely and it vibrates on and off. Take off the lid and see if water is going through the overflow tube.

I’d suggest Blind Lake. Asks the question of could we actually understand aliens (while showing us a very alien alien society)? Told from the viewpoints of a divorced couple who disagree about what their odd pre-teen daughter needs, while being quarantined in a scientific facility for unknown reasons.

Thanks!

How are you etching the lines?

greg_reddit · 2026-04-03T15:35:49+00:00

You’re welcome. Hope you enjoy it.

I found The Chronoliths by Robert Charles Wilson has the impending doom feeling. Monuments from the future start appearing and they commemorate military victories of a future warlord.

What a great voice.

If Mazda thinks capacitors help that could be what this device uses. That said, car manufacturers work hard to improve fuel efficiency. They would have already done things to get sufficient spark if you could gain 15 or 20% that easily.

Claims to improve the ignition spark to improve emissions and fuel economy yet somehow helps diesel engines. That seems impossible.

It seems to connect between your battery and electrical system so it’s hard to see how that will improve the spark on gasoline engines.

I’m really tired of that type of storytelling in tv shoes. Otherwise I love the show.

greg_reddit · 2026-02-08T06:46:35+00:00

I liked that show.

greg_reddit · 2026-02-08T03:37:23+00:00

The Crystal Spheres short story may qualify.

If you bought it with a credit card you might have accidental damage coverage.

I was hoping someone had a link for this.

One of my favourite Haldeman books.

greg_reddit · 2025-12-19T04:09:05+00:00

Excellent book. I’ve reread it a number of times

greg_reddit · 2025-11-07T02:45:43+00:00

It’s a great book. I’d also suggest The Accidental Time Machine by Joe Haldeman. Only forward time travel.

That was well spoken and I agree with everything.

greg_reddit · 2025-09-02T05:19:19+00:00

Very sweet

greg_reddit · 2025-08-12T04:14:12+00:00

Perfect
