Dueling peaks!

I've noticed that everywhere I've worked I have connected with a person like that, for better or worse. I'm really bad at the people part of things but great at technical stuff. Unfortunately for the non people savvy it's hard to distinguish who is trying to use you vs who really wants to team up with you and help you as well as themselves... Yes Apple needed a Jobs to sell themselves, but it seems Jobs viewed Woz as an end to a goal, and not the partner/ human being who helped him get there.

Yep. We've got me a technical guy who loves deep diving in theory and understanding the why of everything, and a smooth talking ex-Navy guy who is good at thinking on his feet and has great mechanical acumen. Last but not least, we have the guy who uses a sick day whenever there's work scheduled, and then shows up the next day and goes on some libertarian rant about how any progress we've made since the 19th century is a sign of our country going down the toilet. Dream team baby

I think it has something to do with z representing the vertical axis. I still don't get what weasel foxes have to do with the speed of light tho

Bragging about paying a porn star for sex while your wife is at home nursing your newborn is a helluva power move. I wonder why more people don't do it?

Wow that's wild, my only experience with that tingling feeling is testing 9V batteries with my tongue. I've had a healthy fear of electricity and always LOTO at work, so I'm hoping it stays that way.

As an American, I would definitely use poorly in this context. But since it seems they're an English speaker learning French, I think it makes sense to say badly. It's a more direct translation for mal, the word they're learning

Still hot as in temperature or electricity?

If it didn't happen at work and it was a first time offense, I could see a company putting him on a leave of absence pending completing rehab or something similar. A lot of companies have started viewing drug abuse as a health issue and will work with their employees a little bit. I don't think they generally give many chances though
