Today I got to have a lengthy conversation about soldering.

Yes, I know the capacitors are close together.
Yes, I know the connector leads are right next to the capacitors.
Yes, I know it's hard to get the soldering iron in there.
Yes, I know the requirements are very strict.
This is going into space. If it was easy, anyone could do it. We hired you, because you have lots of experience.
(Did we make a mistake?)

I’m working on my cover letter and need some advice.

So far I’ve got:
I have over ten years of experience in auditing, analytics, and reporting and I’m perpetually crippled by a ridiculously strong work ethic and extremely obnoxious attention to detail, so I will work my ass off and I will not fuck shit up.

So, my question is, I know ten should be spelled out, but I feel like 10 looks better from a visual and impactful perspective, so would that still be appropriate in this case?

But sometimes, if they're obnoxious about assuming I'm straight, it's fun to see their expression when I correct them.

DISMAYED to have to say this but apparently I need to:

JKR is a virulent transphobe who has SAID OUTRIGHT that purchasing Harry P*tter merch = supporting her views

if you buy the new game you’re hurting us and are not an ally

AOC was on fire yesterday as she angrily called out the real reason her GOP colleagues voted to remove Ilhan Omar from the Foreign Affairs Committee.

Her epic takedown of their shameful vote is a must-watch: comicsands.com/aoc-omar-remove

OK, but see you called it Pansy Bowl, and now I want to watch a flag football game played by drag queens, snatching each others' wigs off.
It could be a fund raiser.

My 75 year old mother in law recommended watching #Wednesday on Netflix...I respect the opinions of this retired RE and history teacher and yet again her son and I were not disappointed! It was a brilliantly acted series - both the young and more established members of the cast were spot on in getting the #AddamsFamily vibe. It also felt very 90’s...which makes me feel old, but happy!

Feeling inadequate because everyone on Mastodon appears to be a professor or a doctor or a rocket scientist?

Follow me and feel better about yourself, for I have the intellect of a clever potato.

Parents need to pay attention to that gaming-Twitch-Alpha male podcast/incel-Holocaust denier-far right pipeline.

I'm not kidding.
Because that's where the radicalization of young boys happening.

It's been years since I've read the books - mostly just the movies. And I do like how nearly all the stars of the movies have protested her views publicly.

@ScottSoCal unfortunately, when you look back you see a lot of subtle transphobia (and also just shaming on appearances, especially weight) in the books? Like Rita Skeeter was always described as looking masculine and having β€œmannish hands” for example. Her characterization of lycanthropy in her words as an HIV allegory too, especially as Lupin was the exception to werewolves who generally side with Voldemort, and Fenrir who β€œconverts” children. 😬
