It would just be cool to see everyone's reaction and actually figuring out how to do it.
The moon’s density is not constant. It has areas with varying gravitational pulls, so you would eventually sling off into space or crash into moon rocks. -

This. I’ve offended old people by classifying social security as an entitlement program. That’s literally what it is.

2018-12-10 at 12:56 AM UTC in Do you think you'd be brave enough to be in a gunfight?A friend of mine was in a “gunfight” recently. He works for law enforcement and he had a guy start shooting at him during a routine traffic stop. Leaving out details because of PI rats. I saw the footage from three different camera angles. It was definitely spooky to see since I know him. He did good though. My friend won.

2018-12-08 at 4:42 AM UTC in My daughter just diedBill Krozby, I’m truly sorry. Even if you weren’t all that involved in her life, that is rough. No parent should ever have to bury their child. Words won’t help right now, but I feel for you and I’m sorry.

The universe and all reality, including earth, is a simulation being ran by our descendants. Our unique awareness is one version of the simulation that varies greatly each time it is ran.

Originally posted by esbity What if someone has to lie though?
Lets say they have been termed from most of their jobs, don't try hard at any, and have never had any professional achievements. This person's best chance at getting hired is going to be to lie.
Strange to think of all of the jobs I've obtained over those that actually deserve the job and needed the job more. Guess that's how it goes though.
They probably have been termed from most of their jobs because they are unqualified for the jobs they get and do shitty work. -

Originally posted by gadzooks Business analyst? I think that's what they're still called.
With things like User Stories and Experience Mapping, business analysts are becoming less and less needed.
There are frameworks like Gherkin that are basically user stories + unit tests that are actually functioning code. Or, at the very least, they make the translation between business use case and unit testable code a LOT smoother.
User stories, that’s what I was trying to think of. We are going through a massive multi-year multi-campus overhaul of our core systems and processes and there are so many user stories. I’m on the end-user side of things actually doing the day-to-day business stuff, but I’m considered a “subject matter expert” plus a bunch of other jargon for what it’s worth, so I can appreciate the nature and the need for translation. The consultants who are writing the bulk of the code have no idea how we run our business, nor do I have any idea how they write their code. I have a couple main points of contacts who I go to and they translate my needs and defect reports and what not to the people who can resolve it in a way they can understand it.
