De Gaulle has such a weird vibe as an airport.

If your coworkers know your brother and are asking you, you’re going to create drama no matter what because someone is going to cause it.

In-N-Out can only place restaurants in certain locations due to internal supply chain limitations. I haven’t confirmed it, but I wouldn’t be surprised if their food was sourced locally because of it.

Not exactly. Many franchises require that you purchase food through them and some of them will put time in ensuring quality.

Could be different professions, different markets, different cultures. You also came to me.

You mean the client expectations which were created last week over a fake social media controversy by people who literally have nothing better to do than shitpost on LinkedIn?

No. I just know to not being a drink into a client meeting. Throw it out beforehand.

Brother, I promise you…

People promise things all the time.

I live in an area with a lot of various immigrant groups, so the hair requirement gets limited to neat and tidy without specifying length. There is also a lot more leeway if you aren’t seeing a client or you’re out in the field.

It sounds like you live around a lot of racist people, but also an unresponsive legal system. The number of successful lawsuits in my state regarding discrimination have generally beat out any desire to measure hair in the industry I work in.

Fold up the ladder and put your arm through the middle opening so you’re balancing one leg of the ladder on your shoulder. Use your hand to help keep balance and it frees up your other arm to carry other things.

I wasn’t talking about hair? I feel like we’re starting to mix appearance requirements with non-appearance presentation.

And I don’t care about hair other than it would be considered “neat” in the culture it came from. Given the multicultural mix of where I work, people wear a wide variety of different hair styles including afros, turbans, beards, and marks on their forehead. Even worked with a non-federally recognized Native American engineer who wore his hair long in a ponytail.

That isn’t surprising. Trucking is a razor thin commodity service and any pricing shock will ruin companies.

Part of the problem is that a lot of places pushed for privitizaton because of chronic disinvestment for decades. Politicians kept water costs low by doing the bare minimum to keep the system running and not investing in long term maintenance.

For them, selling to Suez made it easier for the towns to give someone else to blame for rising costs, even if the rising costs were higher than if the local officials showed actual leadership.

Having needed to hire for engineering teams, I think the iced coffee would be a big deal if the position was client facing and wouldn’t be if it was internal.

The answer for me of “who defines professionalism” is the client. If the effective end client is me, I don’t care. I’m pretty lax and chill.

However, if I’m hiring for a client facing role and you bring an iced coffee, you are saying that you don’t know or don’t care about client expectations and that is a red flag. I work in an industry where it is still the expectation to wear a suit and tie to certain client meetings. If you can’t play the game with me, how can I trust you to play the game with the client?

So, I look at this from the opposite point of view, would I want to hire social people for high danger situations? For most situations, the answer is no.

If I need something done right and I’m willing to risk a human life for it, why am I sending someone whose main goal is to die and be happy with that as the achieved goal? I have to spend time and money getting them fit for purpose just to lose that investment because they blew themselves up. Then, I potentially have to deal with a hazardous situation caused by their death, which may cause additional damage and loss of life.

I have a friend who runs his AI locally because he doesn’t want to pay for tokens.

It is a universe where DRM tied to a central server is impossible. It is likely the software beyond the OEM is cracked to hell and modified far beyond its original purpose. After all, the Millennium Falcon’s nav computer is repurposed droid software.

The term is new, but the idea has been around for a while. A lot of mid century assassinations were done by people who would be classified by incels today. It is also reasonable to see the movie Taxi Driver as a story of an incel.

The total numbers seem higher now.

Go down a hyperfocus rabbit hole.

And that’s why softball is just a game.

I learned how to pick up a ladder from am Amtrak flagger. It works really well.
