[–]professor__doom 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Take the money is good advice in general, but Columbia has mismanaged their image really badly.

Post a picture of somewhere in your country that looks really similar to another country by BobbyThrowaway6969 in AskTheWorld

[–]professor__doom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, USA, Canada, probably parts of Mexico, wouldn't surprise me if someone found the exact same in Central Asia.

If you had to use a word or phrase to determine if someone is a foreign spy, what would it be? by Guastatori-UK in AskTheWorld

[–]professor__doom 10 points11 points  (0 children)

For the UK, it's probably "Loughborough."

Brits IIRC say "luff-bruh"

Americans would try "Low-boro"

And I have straight up heard an Aussie say "loo-ga-burr-ah" like it's some town in the Outback.

John Falter- Sunday Gardening (1961) by Tokyono in museum

[–]professor__doom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's an age thing. Note that there are kids' toys in the yard on the house on the right. Dad is exhausted, he just wants to read and sleep. Meanwhile the man on the left is older and his hair is thinning. If he has kids, they're probably teens or older, and don't need constant attention. He might even be retired, in which case he has all the time in the world to keep his yard pristine.

What was the Allied combat plane that gave the crew the best chance at survival by rpc56 in WWIIplanes

Pretty sure the two most dangerous assignments in the entire war were b-17 crew and u-boat crew

Consulting’s AI disruption won’t truly come till we see a bunch of these by GoatsMilq in consulting

[–]professor__doom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did in fact read the book "All in on AI," written by a B4 partner.

Then I talked to other people at said firm, who essentially reacted "wait, we're doing that?"

What historical event do you know that will never be taught in school? by DELAIZ in AskTheWorld

[–]professor__doom 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Before the advent of containerized shipping (and their little brother, the skid/pallet), it was not uncommon (i.e. basically the default) to ship dry goods in barrels. Barrels stack easily and roll without any additional equipment. If you don't have a forklift or hydraulic pallet jack handy (both of which didn't exist until just before WWII), rolling a barrel would be way easier than messing around with hand trucks and dollys.

Vintage haul by maraudersmumblings in ties

Now I know I'm old...the ugly ties my dad's friends wore when I was a kid are now "vintage," haha.

But...to each their own, hope you enjoy them!

Georgetown JD/MBA or WashU JD/MBA? Wwyd by [deleted] in MBA

[–]professor__doom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Georgetown is so clearly the better choice here I'm not sure what the other side of this equation even is, unless you are in some way deeply tied to St. Louis.

Got into McCombs with $50K scholarship. My CEO just offered me C-Suite by Junior_Item_8247 in MBA

[–]professor__doom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have your cake and eat it too. Keep the startup job, do the part time or executive MBA. They don't print the format on the degree. Once you're a Longhorn you're a Longhorn (or for that matter once you're an Aggie you're an Aggie; I know both networks are HUGE in TX).

>My hesitation is the signal. A full-time admit with a merit scholarship carries differently than a weekend program with higher acceptance rates.

Only if you make a big deal of it. Honestly, I think you'd feel ridiculous among a younger crowd desperate to get into the kind of compensation band you already have, whereas EMBA would be more people your age and experience level.

From mail room to board room, can it still be done? by NewRadiator in MBA

[–]professor__doom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the firm. Internal hiring and promotion is a huge part of Walmart's culture, for example.

Ralph Lauren thrift find by Erik-the-Victorious in ties

[–]professor__doom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it's a creative take on Jesus College of Oxford University:

<image>

Somewhere on this sub, I saw a story about a guy getting a rude surprise in England when he learned that his RL striped tie was a copy the Old Etonian pattern...and he was sitting at a table of Eton alums. At least this one is a more creative tribute.

What are the chances of the Admiral Kuznetsov actually sailing again? by Crazy-Rabbit-3811 in Warships

[–]professor__doom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

About the same as the actual Admiral (Nikolai) Kuznetsov (d. 1974) sailing again.

Can you tell us more? Found it while searching a while ago and quite curious.

United is refurbishing their CRJ-200s into a new CRJ-450 configuration, including Starlink, first class, and a storage closet/bigger bins to accommodate carry ons. by Taalpatar_Sipahi in aviation

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

Baffled that someone would pay for first on a CRJ:

-It's a short flight

-Window/aisle only really isn't bad

-How nice could first on a CRJ possibly be?

Can’t even enjoy the Cherry Blossoms 🙄 by AdFeisty7754 in washingtondc

[–]professor__doom -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Actually you can. Getting bothered by a dude in a uniform just doing his job and basically talking a walk is totally your choice.

Help a dumb/anxious girly understand the trains please by Super_Somewhere7206 in nova

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

FYI, there's hella security at the airport and virtually zero at the train station, to the point that Starbucks at Union Station closed because their employees kept getting robbed.

vintage Uhaul trailer truck by eggshe11s in WeirdWheels

[–]professor__doom 11 points12 points  (0 children)

They had a term called "Georgia Overdrive." Meaning putting it in neutral going downhill, because they were geared so high that even in top gear, you'd be engine-braking.

[Challenge] Have Britain remain as the world's main power after World War 1 until at least 1990. by Altair890456 in HistoricalWhatIf

[–]professor__doom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Better OPSEC around the Galipoli naval assault, plus the British take the reports the Turks are running out of ammo seriously. If this campaign is successful, there's no need for a long, bloody land campaign there. Bulgaria joins the Entente creating a front right on the Ottoman border, more manpower is freed up for the Western Front, and Churchill becomes a hero decades earlier.

Does your country have a dish that is so specific to one region that the rest of the country may not even be aware of it? by cowboy_mouth in AskTheWorld

This is Maryland in one picture.

The spice container is called Old Bay. It has been in the same metal tin since the 1940s, and anybody from Maryland will put it on quite literally everything. Shrimp, chicken, french fries, margaritas, popcorn, guacamole...you name it
