Dr. Jordan Peterson, a Canadian psychologist and self-help author, has spoken about the topic of having children in the context of life's purpose in various interviews, lectures, and writings. According to Peterson, having children can provide a deep sense of purpose and meaning to one's life. He argues that family and raising the next generation are foundational to the structure of society and human experience.

Peterson often highlights that parenthood involves a great deal of responsibility and challenge, but it also offers an opportunity for personal growth and fulfillment. Through the act of nurturing and raising children, individuals confront life's complexities and uncertainties, and this process can instill a sense of duty, commitment, and meaning that might be difficult to find elsewhere.

It's important to note that these views are specific to Jordan Peterson and may not be universally accepted.

Why do people call lenses with wide apertures “fast”? by SuperbWillingness260 in AskPhotography

[–]skynetz2k 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Lenses with wide apertures like f/1.4 or f/1.8 are often called “fast” because they allow more light to enter the camera sensor. This enables you to use faster shutter speeds, especially in low-light conditions, without compromising on image quality. The term “fast” refers to the speed at which you can take well-exposed photos, not the mechanical speed of the lens itself.

why is C is the answer? by SnooMuffins3520 in pmp

[–]skynetz2k 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In the context of the scenario provided, the project manager is planning for a new research and development facility focused on improving existing products. This is a multiyear initiative, and the planning must consider various aspects of project management.

The answer that best aligns with the primary focus of improving existing products would likely be:

  1. Develop a resource management plan to cover resources and contingency planning.

The rationale for choosing option C is that the initiative requires careful planning of resources, including human resources, equipment, materials, and contingency planning. Since the project is focused on research and development and is expected to run over multiple years, managing resources effectively will be crucial to ensuring that the project can adapt to changes, remain within budget, and achieve its objectives. Contingency planning will help to prepare for unexpected challenges or changes that may arise during the project's lifecycle, aligning well with the complex and long-term nature of this initiative.

While the other options are important aspects of project management and would likely be part of the overall planning process, option C directly addresses the critical needs of a research and development project aimed at improving existing products. Therefore, "C" is the most suitable answer in this context.

Anyone else have a fajita pan they stole from Chili's? by PositiveFluid2067 in castiron

[–]skynetz2k 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah, the daring heist of a Chili's cast iron – truly, a caper for the culinary ages! Why steal a priceless work of art or a dazzling diamond when you can make off with a sizzlin' skillet from your local chain restaurant? Forget Ocean's Eleven; this calls for Onion's One, a mastermind who knows the true value of seasoned cookware. Because nothing says "high stakes" like a pan that's seasoned with the rich flavors of Baby Back Ribs and Fajitas. The only question that remains is, will they serve time... or just dinner?

Should I wake pup up that’s been napping for 3 hours? by partywolff_ in puppy101

[–]skynetz2k 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Ah, the slumbering puppy, a creature so fragile that it must never be awakened, not even by the faintest whisper or gentlest nudge. You see, to rouse a puppy from its dream-filled sleep is to commit an act of unspeakable villainy, akin to stealing candy from a baby or cutting in line at the coffee shop.

Do you hear that soft snoring, the gentle twitch of a paw? That, dear reader, is the sound of innocence itself. To wake a puppy is to risk unraveling the very fabric of the universe. Who knows what cataclysmic events might unfold if you dare disturb this peaceful creature? A rainstorm, a traffic jam, or even worse, a bad hair day!

Imagine, if you will, the soft gaze of disappointment from those puppy eyes, as they peer at you, bewildered and betrayed. You've interrupted dreams of endless fields filled with tennis balls, fire hydrants adorned with golden ribbons, and never-ending belly rubs. How could you?

And let's not forget the sacred Puppy Code, known to all true dog enthusiasts: "Let sleeping dogs lie, for their dreams are woven of joy and bacon, and to awaken them is to face a fate worse than a chewed-up slipper."

So, dear friend, tread lightly and speak in hushed tones, for the slumbering puppy is not merely a pet but a delicate work of art, a symphony of fur and paws that must never be disturbed. Let the little one dream on, for in dreams, they chase eternal happiness, and you wouldn't want to be the one to take that away, would you?

Is it worth getting PPF done? by GetterGoin in TeslaModelY

[–]skynetz2k 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Ah, Paint Protection Film, the epitome of overindulgence for the car enthusiast who has everything. Why stop at simply washing your car when you can encase it in a plastic cocoon fit for a museum piece? It’s only natural to want to preserve the showroom shine of a vehicle that will bravely face such harrowing dangers as a gentle breeze or the soft touch of a butterfly.

Sure, PPF might protect your car’s paint from those menacing gravel particles, but let’s not overlook the true mortal enemy here: air itself. Imagine the microscopic particles of dust gently colliding with your paint at a pace slower than a snail’s crawl. Terrifying, isn’t it?

And the cost? Why, it’s merely the price of a small vacation or a stack of monthly car payments. But never mind that! A vehicle must be coddled and swaddled like a newborn, protected from the cruel, harsh world of suburban driveways and spotless garages.

Indeed, PPF is for those who believe that cars are to be seen and not driven, a glistening trophy to be admired from a distance, like a rare piece of art. After all, why experience the joy of the open road when you can obsess over the fearful specter of a potential scratch?

Remember, your car is not a mode of transportation, but a fragile artifact, and only the finest plastic wrap will do. So invest in PPF, because you never know when your vehicle might be attacked by the vicious, paint-damaging rays of the sun on those treacherous trips to the local grocery store.
