I worked with a guy like this. It was the hardest I ever worked at a job before, but he was exceptionally talented and I learned so much from the experience and slowly over a few years the derogatory comments lessened and occasionally turned to praise. I came out a much better person and found the honest but brutal feedback refreshing. If I suck at something I want to know about it and how much I suck. I'm ok with that, I know I have limitations, but they're hard to self judge. You can't fix what you don't know is broken. It's not personal, it's wires an tubes.
I called a boss a "fuckwad" before. Yelled very loudly actually. Of course he was a "fuckwad" and was fired soon after I quit.
He was really a nice guy and I used to hang out with him at happy hour. He was just incompetent and screwed up a lot of people's hard work then blamed it on others to upper management. I felt really bad about it (and was the only time in my life that I yelled at someone), but nothing else seemed to work.
Not only fruit juice, but the fruit itself. I have a lot of fruit trees and every summer, my dogs get really fat from all the fruit that falls to the ground or that they can reach. I don't even feed them.
I didn't have experience either. One thing you can do is do the work yourself (like running the wires), then getting an electrician to come in and do the actual connecting, then hire an inspector for $400. My electrician is about $50/hr, but the majority of that time is unskilled grunt work.
I'm not against hiring people, but it really takes so little skill and time and $35k is more than I make in a year and honestly more than the cost of all the rest of the electricity I'll use in my life.
I got an email flyer/advert today from the company that I bought my solar panels and inverter from selling panels at $0.19 per watt. Where I live, 1w of solar will generate (after system losses) $0.24 of electricity per year. Even if its a crappy panel, it will pay for itself in a few months.
That's crazy. I installed my own 2.5kw system myself in a few hours. Seriously. I laid it out (bread boarded) on my friends driveway and had all the pieces except the grounding rod hooked up and running in maybe 15 minutes. I guess if people are subsidizing it and the money is there, why not charge that much.
No, 400,000 people can say they worked on something that went towards Apollo. If you worked an injection molder making the light switches in the cafeteria where engineers ate, then you can say you worked Apollo.
I went flying with a friend of mine (C182) in highschool around Phoenix during one of our air pollution scares.. Yes, everyone was talking about cars and unregulated lawnmowers with no emissions control. We flew east of the city over what was probably Globe or Superior when the smelters were running.
The air was perfectly clear around them, but you could see very dark (as in dense, not black) clouds from the chimneys making a 'V' starting at the chimney and opening up 50 miles west into the Phoenix valley where it looked like it was covering the city with fog.
Whats to prevent large corporations coming in and copying innovative work of startups then giving away products at a lower cost that they subsidize by higher profits in other divisions (putting the innovative startup out of business)? That's basically how it works now but they end up paying millions by buying out the smaller companies. Why not just copy?

Which millennium? Romans had a saying about this which I guess on longer is taught.
Just like aircraft manufacturers or anyone else who works on safety critical systems? Really?

I do call Pluto a planet. What is anyone going to do about it, call the planet police.
I worked for a company that made us wear lab coats and goggles while programming. Seriously. That was back in the 90's.
