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

No wonder my right nut hurts -
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.

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.

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).

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".

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.

As long as he just saw your post count, and not your actual posts. -
Have any of you ever seen the Northern Lights?
Thornton Melon replied to kilroy69's topic in The Geek Club
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
Thornton Melon replied to kilroy69's topic in The Geek Club
I was watching Sportscenter this morning, and they actually had a segment on WNBA fantasy leagues. I almost fell off my treadmill laughing -
I heard it was actually Lunar Scouting America.

Would you rather be left in the woods alone with a bear or a woman?
Thornton Melon replied to cmh6476's topic in The Geek Club
The woman. It would be easier to get away from her. -

Why do people say "we" when talking about their favorite sports teams?

As Jerry Seinfeld said when he heard someone say "Yay, we won!": "No. They won. You watched." -
So, we're going to Manhattan this weekend...
Thornton Melon replied to jerryskids's topic in The Geek Club
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 -
