1 year agoI used to have a Swedish running partner (doing postdoc in California). We’d argue about who had the ‘least well-informed’ voters (not the specific word we used). He claimed Sweden, I claimed US. He was disabusing me of the impression that all Swedes were knowledgable and cosmopolitan. Ongoing friendly argument – until McCain picked Palin as his VP candidate. I sent him a text: ‘I win.’
Engineers, raise your hand if you’ve tried to do good work despite your management’s ‘support.’ Oh, look at all the hands going up!
