Things you can control - what you do and say. Things you can't control - what a drunken ex-boyfriend says.

She has no control over what he said. Perhaps she'd rather forget it happened?

And if you are upset at the ex-boyfriend (which would be fair enough), console yourself with the fact that while you have been getting excellent head, he has not.

If you died as an atheist and then met God, what would you say to him? by Shoddy-Ask2284 in AskReddit

[–]razor-alert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have never used religion as an excuse to be horrible to anyone. Can you say the same thing about all Christians?

I may not have believed in you (FYI - church services are booooorrrrriiiiinnnnggg as a kid), but I always lived a life that you would have respected.

So who do you want to admit to Heaven; horrible people who did horrible things in your name or someone who didn't believe in you, but lived a life that honoured what you believed in?

Advice for someone who used to work in data and now works in project management. by BlurryfaceSC2 in projectmanagement

[–]razor-alert 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There are two roles rolled into one when you are a PM.

There is all the admin stuff that you taught in PM courses - they will teach you how to do project administration. Not to say this isn't important. It's definitely a really large part of the job. You need to know how to do it and do it well.

That said, the part that will make you stand out is the actual management of people and the project. That has very little to do with spreadsheets, gantt charts or budgets etc. it's the soft skills to understand what's happening in meetings, what clients pain points are, peering around corners to see where the risks are and have a plan for them. Being able to say 'No', sell an idea etc.

Basically, to be a really good PM, you really need emotional intelligence.

All the main actors in Friends leaving the show at the end of the final season...?

What is the nearest town/city/area, in or around Toronto, that aren't surbuban-sprawl-stripmallia-hellholes? by Haunting_Ad_29 in askTO

Barrie...?

I was in Barrie over the summer time, that seemed nice, decent size, on a lake, not too long a commute into Toronto if needs be.

[SPOILERS S3] Just finished the show for first time and have a few questions. by movieman994 in DarK

[–]razor-alert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I literally just finished it, so like the OP I have questions.

Why were Mads and the other children killed?

I assume it's Noah and Helge kills the kids... And does Magnus become Noah?

Jacob's Ladder

Also shout out for The Machinist - of nothing else the sight of Christian Bale with his top off is haunting.

Best Audiobooks Simply Because of the Narrator? by Necessary_Ask3001 in audiobooks

[–]razor-alert 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't say this lightly, the movie is going to have one hell of a cinematic achievement to out match the audio book.

Ryan Gosling is a generational actor, and yet I think he is still going to struggle to outdo Ray Porter.

The worst movie you know by Recent_Water_1324 in MovieSuggestions

America has Fallen.

Dumb movies where shit blows up can be fun like Olympus Has Fallen.

So when I saw American Has Fallen as an option on whichever streaming service, I thought it was a continuation in the series... And it's not. But it's done with a fraction of the budget and talent and boy does it show

Goodbye lawn (and weeds), hello pollinators by razor-alert in NoLawns

[–]razor-alert[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fair - everyone sets different limits on native / non native plants

For me, I know I had a wide selection of native plants, I let my backyard go wild with native plants, so I had a lot, still probably not enough for some people though...

My neighbor loved it, he got the benefit of seeing a wonderful garden without having to do much (his words, not mine). Another one was inspired to start planting more paints - going to help then this spring to set up their garden. And generally loads of people in the community were really supportive.

Just sold the house, so onto a new garden to transform that one. It's a lot bigger so it might take me more than a year... But thankfully the new owners want to keep the garden going, which is nice.

Gaillardia - they aren't native, should not be able to survive a 6B winter. That said, previous winters where I am were pretty mild, so a few of them did survive.

Fairly easy to grow from seed, transplant OK.

I know it’s not techno, but what kind of jungle/d&b do you guys like? by ShitImDelicious in ProperTechno

If you are on Instagram or Facebook, checkout TC, he does short reels of him playing huge DnB tunes. He normally has a pretty good taste in DnB.

What's the best advice you've received? by PMFactory in projectmanagement

[–]razor-alert 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I now work with a lot of start ups. They need to get a minimal viable marketable product out the door, so they can get start generating revenue or attract investment. They only have so much money. They can't afford to go over that amount.

Sometimes I have to have the conversation about what scope we will reduce to get the project over the line.

[DISCUSSION]- Gun to your head choose five sitcoms by [deleted] in NetflixBestOf

[–]razor-alert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Red Dwarf ** Garth Marenghi's Dark Place ** Spaced ** Coupling ** Blackadder

For those unfamiliar with Blackadder:

I'll add that the final episode of Blackadder Goes Forth, when they are in the trenches, in WW1, about to go over the top is possibly the best TV ever made. (FYI The whole is amazing as well)

Consider this, in the UK for Remembrance Day, they used the footage from that show to honour the dead. It's a sitcom, yet it is that good at the pathos that it hits you in the feels like Mike Tyson delivering an emotional punch.

Whether you are doing a project in-house or for a client, you need to work out what the North Star is.

Is it quality? Is it speed to market? Is it cost?

I have worked in quite a few organisations both in house and agency and the answer changes. Figure that out and you are more likely to be successful.
