I hate the trend of censoring profanity. It’s the internet you fuck-cakes
That, and parroting makes it sound like you don’t know what they want, or that you’re stupid, and the best that you could come up with is their own text with slight variation
My industry is three-letter-acronym (TLA) heavy
It doesn’t have to be like that. Sure, context is important, but parroting phrases or other crap that the client has in the RFP is bullshit. They don’t want you blowing smoke up their ass, they want a technically sound product that addresses the exact issues they asked you to address. They also want you to show them how you’re going to get there, and achieve the objectives they set out.
I realize you’re on the tech side; I’m just venting my frustrations with the corporate/PM spheres.
I have a visceral reaction to words like elucidate, and other fluff. My writing has to be very to the point, and technically accurate. Because of this, I carve up drafts from juniors like a Thanksgiving turkey.
You’re terrible, even by my standards, which are impressively low
I thought they attributed their decline due to the introduction of rats from colonial ships. Rats ate a bunch of seeds etc. and did what invasive vertebrates do on island: destroy the ecosystem.
Fucking honestly - it’s the theme for their whole product line
Sent this to my botanist friends - they are all in stitches
Sue for peace while secretly sabotaging that effort is straight out of Putin’s playbook
Hey.
I really enjoyed your comment. It’s very well written. Nice job. That’s it; that’s all.
Wow. I hate humans: we were a mistake
Idk if it’s good, but I do know that it’s extremely cool to petition the admins to defederate as soon as someone disagrees with you
Destroying an entire people is fine, but dropping bombs on 6 hostages is a bridge too far…
Christ.
This way, if they decide to strike, they have no real money, and we can waive their scrip at a whim! This is a heavy deterrent to pesky strike action which really slows down production
I got a document back with 155 comments. Send help
Ellison: grand wave of the hand y’know what this company needs? A place for our workers to live on site. We should build housing for them! The houses are our property and we can’t let them live there for free, so we need to charge them rent to cover ‘upkeep’. They will need food to eat so we should create a company store on site! We have to cover the costs of food, so we will have to charge them exorbitant prices due to ‘shipping’
In soil science, we hand texture, where you rub the soil between two fingers and see how it responds to physical manipulation. There are a few tests: can you roll it into a worm? Does that worm break? How long of a ribbon can you make with it? You do this for each layer (horizon) and pits have a minimum of 3 horizons usually
Anyway, on large scale soil surveys, we can have hundreds to thousands of pits to do. The largest ones I’ve ever done were 1900 pits or so, thus a LOT of hand texturing, and pushing to get them all done.
To speed up this process I started texturing with both hands at the same time; each with a different horizon. Turns out I’m abi-texterous (seriously)
