What industry secret are you aware of that most people aren't?
  • Percussive maintenance can help sometimes. It's not a permanent fix but you can't always do the right fix in the middle of the ocean. Things it can help with: dislodging debris in mechanical components, reseating electrical connections that are corroding, and making yourself feel better.

  • Why doesn’t Paddington, who is famously from "Darkest Peru," speak with a Spanish speaker’s accent?
  • I've done a lot of research into the Paddington Cinematic Universe and it is cannon that Paddington's bear family was a ruling class in a Peruvian bear apartheid system. In a move to separate themselves from the lesser undesirable bears they spoke with an English accent. Paddington is told that his parents died in an "earthquake" when he was very young but they were actually publicly executed during the warring states period following the fall of apartheid Peruvian bear society. It's the systematic advantages that still existed in the new Democratic Bears Republic of Peru that allowed Paddington to gain enough marmalade to grow up strong and move abroad.

  • 70% of Cybersecurity Pros Often Work Weekends
  • There are no bad employees only bad managers, or some karate kid nonsense like that. I had a job where I was "on call" 24/7 with no one else as alternates. I kept getting in trouble for not being available on the weekend when they called me.

  • What happened to the smartest kid in your class?
  • From high school: went to an ivy league, coasted with Bs and Cs, has a high paying job in NYC in finance. Saw on insta that he privately booked out a bar in Manhattan for his birthday, so I guess he's doing good. From college: Currently over-employeed, married, owns a house in the inner suburbs, expecting first child. My life is pretty great, could be better, could be worse.

  • What popular product do you think is modern day snakeoil?
  • My eye Dr recommends the blue light filtering and "digital lenses" so I got them. I haven't noticed any difference in how my eyes felt. The info packet that came with the glasses noted at all claims regarding these features are not supported by any medical studies.

  • I've never tried running with a vest before either. I usually don't carry water at all but I almost never go over an hour. I imagine it would annoy me if the flasks were swinging around at all.
