It's cute!

I have not met engineers that are anti-vaxxers, but my dentist and one of my employees are. I have met at least three engineers, at least one of whom is brilliant, who are global warming deniers. Scientists? None are deniers. This leads me to think that scientists and engineers are not only different careers but attract different personalities.

Quite different. There are many more ignorant people with engineering degrees than there are ignorant practicing scientists.

Scientists don't take from nature to manufacture things. They mostly study things. Engineers make a living digging giant holes in the ground and making shit by burning what comes out. There is some cognitive dissonance bouncing around inside the heads of those of us willing to consider that.

pretty sure it's called "climate change" now since that whole cooling then warming thing hasn't worked out. this way no matter what happens if it changes they're covered.

They're both accurate terms, and they've both been in use for decades. It's not some recent change in rhetoric or dodge.

Shh. The truth must be deniable if it's inconvenient.

If I was going to steal stuff on the way out, I'd find a better place to hide it.

As long as he isn't trying to take his calculator that he has had since day one he should be fine.

Sapphireho · 02-20-2019, 02:39 PM

Took today off, my back is not good. Starting to get worried. I better go see the doc tomorrow.

And that potted plant is still sitting on that Miata across the street.

Looks a lot like the ones we had in my high school accounting class. I have had the same 10 key and chair for 26 years.

The only thing I'm taking is my family pictures. I'm even going to leave my badge, and my employee of the month award from 12 years ago.
