    it is so hot in here

    in this building there is a thermostat per 4 or so offices (adjacent to each other). I just happened to draw an one for which the thermostat is in the office of a lady. Who is substantially more senior than I am.

    What you think "makes sense" has nothing to do with reality. It just has to do with your life experience. And your life experience may only be a small smidgen of reality. Possibly even a distorted account of reality at that. So what this means is that, beginning in the 20th century as our means of decoding nature became more and more powerful, we started realizing our common sense is no longer a tool to pass judgment on whether or not a scientific theory is correct. - Neil Degrasse Tyson

    Those are the ones that charge you like £3.50 or something and thus are only used by drunk people or desperate smokers in shifty corner shops.

    Any other boozers around?

    I am buying one bottle tonight - should it be:
    Remy Martin VSOP
    Old Forrester bourbon
    Four Roses
    Evan Williams Single Barrel
    or Forty Creek double barrel select which is apparently a genuine premium canadian whiskey, weird as that sounds.

    I vote: Not Remy Martin

    That's not me being a snob -- there are just better products for right around the same price.

    I will defer to other boozers on the other options.

    huh, Podly recommended Remy Martin as a good cognac. It does cost 75 bucks here though.

    I don't know much about brandy so i'm not sure what i would get for a nicer cognac.

    $75 for Remy Martin VSOP?! A 750 ml? Argh. Remy is okay but it's really not that good.

    I am on record as being big on Hine cognac, but everyone's tastes are different.

    I would work on a project but it'd take nearly $100,000 for any reasonable sized project just for me, 2-3 years at the least, full time.

    What if you worked for free but I gave you stock options like whoa.

    Hah people that work for like $20,000 a year and take stock options on a startup are insane.

    options yes. Options are for suckers.

    Actual stock, well it depends. That can work out very well indeed. But you need to be realistic about what actual chances the company has.

    Plus my salary goes up for startups because there's about an 80% chance I'll be looking for work within 1-3 years.

    You won't get that out of a start up. Stock yes, higher salaries then the industry average, no.

    Problem is startups want breadth instead of depth of knowledge, so their needs and payscales need to represent that.

    It's also one of the reasons startups fail. Sucks for them, I guess, they need to convince me to leave my job.

    Actually they want both. They will prioritize breath over depth but there is a limit to how shallow your knowledge base is and still be useful. And generally the reasons start ups fail isn't a lack of in house technical knowledge but generally a lack of capital.

    If anyone was hiring based solely on breadth of knowledge and not depth I'd be getting so paid

    As it stands people expect you to have more than a survey-level overview of everything

    Well, I have a vote in for Hine VSOP if it's available. It has a nice blend of richness and smoothness that I found really approachable. I am not a spirits expert but anything that has two separate. Blocks of flavor sitting side by side in your mouth gets a thumbs down from me. Remy tastes like SYRUPY WARMTH clashing with ALCOHOL. There's no integration of the flavors at all.

    Hine is not crazy or high end and it doesn't have any big twist -- just a modest but clear heat and the kinds of gooey apricot-y golden goodness of a straightforward covnav
