Got a feeling you make the kind of bets that even if you lose, you win

Ever seen a pissed off Canada goose? They will give you way more fight than you expect. I'm not saying you won't or shouldn't win, but I promise it won't be as easy as you think.

Been chased by a swan. But geese always back down

Expert move is to always kick in the nuts, but that might be hard to do against a Cobra tho?

Grays, Turtle. Of course, according to OOT, you aren't really an engineer, but congrats anyway.

Also I think I'd rather fight a King cobra than a large dog or a chimpanzee, assuming I can get anti-venom afterwards. The chimp should be higher up the list.

An eagle may be worse than a large dog in some ways. I held a golden eagle once, they gave me a massive leather gauntlet and once this thing was sitting there, I asked the handler if it was talon proof. Once she stopped laughing, she explained it's just there to protect against accidental scratches, in fact its talons could not only go through the leather and my forearm but also crush the bones in my arm. The eagle was completely calm but it was a strange experience, it was definitely feral in a way that a dog isn't.

Roos vary hugely in size and aggression, I prised an overly pushy roo away from Mrs Werebeer by the neck in a wildlife park. This was a relatively tame 1.2 metre specimen, I wouldn't like to have to do the same thing with an aggro big red.

63% of respondents checked YES to "You are not actually reading these questions."

But even if you do, they don't always make sense? Are the winged monsters going to put themselves in harm's way? Do I have to chase down the ones that are @3x faster than me?

I just saw the first 10 min of that and decided it was good enough for a complete viewing in the future. I just love those articulate street gangs of the 80s.

One thing I noticed about the double dippers, the anecdotes are overwhelmingly engineers who wound up in non tech roles. Tech people don't see management as work, just glorified baby-sitting.

Thanks bruh.

I reread that fiasco not too long ago while trying to find the HWSNBN action figure I posted around the same time. Have no idea why I got so mad about some dude fkcing up his own job opportunity.

Walking Sr told me becoming a 'professional engineer' just means you have a piece of paper that allows them to sue you if something goes wrong. Until reading the above link I had not heard anything else.
