    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.

    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
  17. Yeah, but after taxes, it's really just kind of a tired feeling

    Very interesting day in history April 19

    Tsarnaev was killed by being run over by his younger brother during a shootout with police on Apr 18th. The younger brother was caught by police on the 19th. Also, tomorrow is the 25th anniversary of Columbine

    Too many playoff teams

    For a few years in the '80s, the NHL had 16 out of 21 teams, and the NBA had 16 out of 23 teams making the playoffs. Talk about ridiculous. I guess you can give them credit for keeping it at 16 as they expanded . Although, the NBA play-in is stupid. I'm fine with 12 teams max, at least it's still less than half.
