  • Define “winning”

  • Hot rickety, sweet Jesus!

  • What happened to Drill baby drill?!

  • In nomine patris et filii et spiritus sancti, amen.

  • You can’t fix stupid.

  • He’s probably suffering from burnout, and wants to go vacationing in The Hague.

  • The collapse of the Ohioan education system. News at eleven.

  • Probably some reincarnated dignitary from the past trying to make amends. Stalin. Walter Conkrite. Caruso. Lolobridgitta.

  • How can anyone win a prize for a photo of an uninhabitable, left-over pile of rubble? How about a photo of a bustling market place, children playing, buyers price-negotiating with shopkeepers, in some far away, exotic place, for instance Gaza? Whatyarsaying? Oops.

  • On a different note; the resemblance between Jeff Bezos and Rodney Dangerfield is striking! Are they father and son?! Both with these hellsapoppin’ high bloodpressure eyes and their hair combed back.

  • Absolutely no deal breaker. I am just interested to learn about the person in front of me (hopefully the candidate does the same about my company or me, after all, the candidate shouldn’t start working for a manager that they later find out they don’t like). If you’re not on social media, I won’t judge that, in fact if you do it for conscientious or fact-based reasons I even appreciate it. But if you are on social media and you have a beautiful CV on LinkedIn it can be a little plus, getting into weird political discussions on insta is definitely a minus; I need fact-focused employees that can see both sides of the medal, willing to (unemotionally) find middle ground. The CV and application letter are still the key thing. In the application letter, you need to address the needs that I have put into the job posting, the more fact-based and interesting the better. Adjust the cv so that it fits the actual job description, don’t use some outdated listing that you’ve been using the last two years, try to show that you take me seriously.

  • I’ve hired dozens of people and I’ve interviewed hundreds. As a manager (area of business development), my objective is simple: get the interviewee talking. I know their CV and have checked their social media; I know my favorite candidates. I just want to check whether I “like the person”, and whether she/he is as good in real life as on paper. My typical interviews run like this: “first, I will tell you about the position for a few minutes, then you will have time to tell me about yourself, and to ask YOUR questions. And then we talk about possible next steps. This will take about 30 minutes. Is that OK?” I try to get onto an equal footing, and although I will ask simple questions here and there, I skip all the humbug, curve ball, aggressive stuff (they probably have pre-prepared answers to those anyway). By laying out the interview plan first, good candidates have sufficient time to prepare their story and clever questions in their head while I make the company pitch.

  • Yes, and I hope it stays that way.

  • Not really, no. But most people I know worry about the rise of populism and fascism and things like climate change and war.

  • To name two examples: One of the substances found on Earth but likely absent on most exoplanets is liquid water. Another candidate is free oxygen (O₂) . On most exoplanets, oxygen is often bound in compounds (like CO₂ or H₂O) rather than existing as a free gas in the atmosphere.

  • You are completely right. It is a bit of whataboutery, but ok. Still, next to reducing buying stuff that is packed onto these container ships and then shipped across the oceans, it is worthwhile thinking about tourism too, which doesn’t stop at cruise ships (which personally I would never board). So reduce the number flights you take, switch to vacations by train, bike or on foot, switch from a combustion engine to an EV etc. I regularly calculate my personal climate footprint (there are a number of websites that help you doing this, most call out cruise ships specifically), and over the years I have continuously improved my behaviors. Added advantage: I won’t catch hanta virus locked up with thousands of others on a cruise ship😝

  • The extraterrestrials would soon enslave or kill us, and plunder the planet for resources. Positively, should humans travel to another planet, we would soon enslave or kill the inhabitants, and plunder the planet for resources. Luckily both won’t ever happen; space is too big.
