    What’s the worst fast food chain?

    I was just at the MB in Seabrook. I had to ask a worker what aisle the pasta was in. I looked at his name tag...43 years

    What’s the worst fast food chain?

    I just had MB pizza the other day, and I couldn't believe how good it was. Someone told me that Sal's made it for them, but to me it was even better than Sal's.

    Another Win Against DEI

    Well, not an engineering firm, but a science-based company, life sciences specifically, so there are far more scientists than engineers. There is definitely a higher percentage of women compared to engineering, but your point still holds. You can't artificially manufacture a specific ratio for your high level management without passing over more qualified people.

    Another Win Against DEI

    We have a DEI group within HR that started 3 or so years ago. It started out with 6 or 7 people, now it's up to 13. There's probably about $3 million in combined salaries in that group. Complete waste...Oh, and there's one white woman and one white man in the group (and I'm pretty sure the guy is gay).

    Another Win Against DEI

    Three years ago, my company came out and stated that within 5 years, a certain percentage (45%, I think) of executive level employees would be women or POC. This can only be achieved by firing white males and hiring others accordingly, credentials be damned. Also, every job posted needs to have a "diverse" pool of interviewees, as well as a "diverse" panel of interviewers. Every time I have to interview a candidate, this same girl has to sit in on it. She knows why she's there. She rolls her eyes and says "I'm only here because I'm female".

    What do you pay for a haircut?

    Same here, but I do #4 on top, #3 on the sides, #2 in front of the ears, plus that tapered thingy around the ears. Been doing that since '01. Prior to that, I had my FIL cut my hair, before that it was a friend of my girlfriend (now wife). I think I've paid for just one haircut since 1986.

    10 year old son just saw my post count on FFT

    As long as he just saw your post count, and not your actual posts.

    Have any of you ever seen the Northern Lights?

    That's how it was last night when I was up in New Hampshire. It was pretty cloudy and you could see it much better looking through your phone.

    Question about the WNBA vs Women's Softball

    I was watching Sportscenter this morning, and they actually had a segment on WNBA fantasy leagues. I almost fell off my treadmill laughing

    The Euro-step, i.e., traveling

    So, we're going to Manhattan this weekend...

    I've never been to the MOMA, but I bet the Guggenheim could give it a run for its money. What a crap show that is I've only been to Manhattan 5 times, but 3 of those times, I visited the Museum of Natural History. Definitely worth it
  23. Yeah, but after taxes, it's really just kind of a tired feeling
