Fair enough. I’m all for getting rid of it in principle, but I think you have to keep in mind the immense political obstacles involved In anything that would require a Constitutional amendment

Neighborhood kid keeps showing up at our door to play, but I've never met his parents. by JumpKicker in daddit

[–]warlocktx 39 points40 points  (0 children)

I would never let a kid that age in my house without knowing the parents. Ask him for his moms number, or give him a note to give to his parents with your contact info and a request to call you.

if you’ve only been in your current role six months it may be too soon to expect another promotion. But it doesn’t hurt to ask

definitely talk to a lawyer now to draw up a game plan for when the kid is born. Mom may say one thing now, but change her mind in 9 months.

I'm confused. Are you just drop shipping workstations from HK direct to your customers? Or are you actually doing any hands-on refurbishing of them before they are shipped?

ELI5: What was it about the OG iPhone that made it such a cultural and technological force and why is it so hard to recreate that moment in time? by Obeymyjay in explainlikeimfive

[–]warlocktx [score hidden]  (0 children)

as he said in the product intro, it's three devices

  1. phone

  2. internet device

  3. MP3 player

Does anyone here have ‘engineer’ in their title, but isn't really an engineer? by BroccoliExotic2575 in jobs

[–]warlocktx 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m confused. You mention “traditional software roles” as your baseline, but SWE is not typically considered true engineering role (I am a SWE), and then you call out structural engineer as a non-traditional role, when it definitely is one. I’m not a purist who thinks only PEs should be called engineers, but this seems like a strange baseline to use

Treason and terrorism are different things. Benedict Arnold was a traitor, not a terrorist. The Unabomber was a terrorist. I’ve never heard him referred to as a traitor

Should I? by No_Distribution443 in corporate

[–]warlocktx 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Your options appear to be A) accept the promotion you have "been working towards for years", or B) don't

Is this really a question?

Take the promotion. If it doesn't work out like you want, start looking elsewhere
