There's no strain in any of those muscles. My guess is that black background is designed to hide whatever contraption is supporting the men.

Anyone have a non-paywall link to the video?

Wait, so they dusted it with cocoa powder and then put those frosting dollops on top of that? The lid might have been the only thing holding those in place.

You can't arrest me for pretending to be a diplomat, I have diplomatic immunity!

I tried to find the place with a reverse image search, but also if the hits (there are quite a number) are to collections of pics of the worst home interiors.

I think we might be agreeing, it's just that "mediocre" means different things to each of us. My team supports human spaceflight, and no one we have is crummy. The "mediocre" people have pretty decent technical skills if you're looking across all software development domains.

Personally, I've found the decent technical skills to be easier to come by than the other ones, and having all of them in one package is a real discriminator.

People have those things in spectrums, not all or nothing. You have to have at least some of all of them, but I'd argue that mediocre competency with really good communication and accountability is a better combination that really good competency with one of the others being mediocre.

I'm halfway through scrolling this long thread, and this is the first comment I've seen that isn't overly cynical. It's also correct.

I've been working for 38 years, and I've been someone who makes promotion decisions for 15 of them. The third one is helpful, not essential, but the others are super important. The people who rise to leadership positions aren't necessarily the top technical people, they're the ones who do those things with a good attitude.

The other thing I'd add is that they're people who are able to see the big picture and how the details relate to it, which is part of strategic thinking.

It's funny, I was sitting on the couch browsing Lemmy on my tablet when my phone made a weird notification sound. Pulled it out and it said it was an earthquake warning. I sat there like an idiot thinking "WTF is that about" when the room started shaking and I remembered we have an early warning system.

You know, it's not cool to have an earthquake when it's pouring rain outside. I was 1.5 miles from the epicenter of the Northridge quake, and had to get out of my apartment, but at least it was a beautifully clear night outside. No fair doubling up on destructive phenomena (though neither Hilary or the quake looks like they'll cause any significant problems where I am).

Isn't it still a state crime even if it's moved to a federal court? Still state charges and state standards.

This looks great, for sure will try. Kind of similar to a cobbler.

I read stuff like this in comment sections and figures it's just someone trolling for a reaction, but there are so many people who are actually like this. It's so depressing to think that there are honestly people who think Trump is some great genius. If he goes to jail, they'll still be saying "Just you watch! Any day now he's going to spring the trap."
