Planting one’s feet vertically is a skill that takes a while to develop.

Drive slowly on snow. 90% of driving works just fine so long as you go slow. And that doesn’t mean 35 in a 40 zone. That means 10 in a 40 zone.

Drive super fucking slow on snow, and you’ll be fine.

People who come from warmer climates to snow always fuck this up, and it’s so simple. I think there’s a pride thing involved. So just get over your “I can do this” pride, and drive ultra slow.

At least at first. You can speed up a little once you get a sense of what makes the car slide, but to start with just go ultra ultra slow.

Once you’re 54, it’s just too late man

About six to twelve more months then people will call it X

To whom could it be offensive?

So the energy comes from sunlight and ambient heat, which provides the energy to evaporate that water, overcoming its adhesion and cohesion.

And after a while you’d come out of that state

Does your head make an internal click sound when you swallow?

Generally speaking it’s not possible to strictly deduce code from its output.

But you can establish a pretty good guess by converting log messages into regexes then using those regexes in github code search.

Correction: introverts may or may not like extended social interaction, and need time to recharge.

You going to HR can also take place of talking to him yourself. You talk to HR and ask them to tell him to let you work, they talk to him so you don’t have to try and navigate his bullshit and you get the issue noted to support your side of things.

This is how humanity dies.

Why in god’s name would you escalate to writing?

It sucks. I don’t have children because I’m barely functional. Can barely keep a roof over my own head, let alone maintain a romantic relationship.

I’ve wanted kids for a long time, but the only relationship that showed promise of that ended with a bunch of cheating and abuse. I eventually realized even if I was willing to put up with it, I couldn’t subject my kids to having her as a mother.

So I’m going on 42 and don’t know if I’m gonna make it.

Because population is increasing faster than new housing is being built. There is a supply problem and demand is in elastic. The supply problem is the result of government’s continual suppression of new construction, via permitting red tape and overeager density zoning.

Maybe the instructions were to respond with crickets when asked this question.

No it can’t!

I’m an uber driver. I get to be outside in the daylight all day. Work whatever hours I want. It’s nice.

I just didn’t know how to deal with someone like that.

You tell them the truth. That means if you think their stories sound crazy you say “I think your stories sound crazy”.

I know that steps outside of the typical path of politeness, but telling the truth is the only way to help someone in that state.

She wasn’t asking because she didn’t know. She was asking because she knew they sounded crazy, and she wanted to give you an opening to discuss that.

Trust me. When a person is having paranoid delusions only the truth can help them. Saying “No that doesn’t sound crazy to me”, if it does, only makes it worse. That’s because people can detect when others are lying to them. If that person is so far out there that everyone puts on a mask around them, it will reinforce the idea that people are shifty assholes. If nobody ever tells them the truth then they can’t calibrate their sense of what’s real and what’s not.

It may seem rude, but if you truly want to help them, you need to be truthful with them. That includes saying things that might not be polite, such as “I think that sounds crazy”. They will not interpret that as rude. They will interpret that as honest, and it will be an enormous relief to them to have found an honest person.

As someone without much people skills, I take this opportunity to say fuck your glass ceiling idea for people like me. Thank god for the free market, where if someone consents to work for me, they can.

I happens with age and insufficient collagen intake. I’m old, but since I’ve been taking collagen my balls have felt much younger and hung tight the way they did when I was a young man.
