Thank you for putting my mind at ease after reading the heinously misleading title of the OP.

Pointing it out is useless to the MAGAts because one cannot shame people who have no sense of shame.

Iowa. Right?

Of course she did. She doesn’t want to make it hard for Putin.

He needs a Blu Sky account ASAP

Not an “embarrassment”. It’s far more of a tragedy.

Sounds about right

He should resign and let the Gov. appoint someone whose brain is functioning properly. I donated a lot over the years to Fetterman from my fixed income. I no longer support him.

Tesla death spiral! Now do Elon!

Lil’ Marco can eat a Costco size bag of dicks

How sad for him. The times call for someone in his position to do more than going through the motions and other ineffective and performative bullshit

He’s a hero because he’s innocent. As presumably are all those before conviction.

That is what a Principle investigator does. Some who’d been a PI for 30 years does not need a project manager.

Bullshit. I managed my projects and grants just fine when I was an academic. And until Giant Corporation bought our small ag biotech firm I ran my new product research and development just fine. When giant Corporation bought us I got saddled with someone who did fuck all besides irritate me by telling me what I already knew. As far as I could see they did fuck all. But probably made more money than I did or anyone else in my crew.

My 2017 MacBook pro, the shittiest MacBook version of the 21rst century, functioned well and was my primary computer until a couple months ago.

Please tell us what “essential things” they do.

Ah ha ha ha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah. Oh wait, you’re serious!?? ornery_chemist @mander.xyz English On the other hand a manager willing to yell at/stonewall the MBAs when they deliberately lie about misinterpret your recommendations and timelines is a godsend.

I worked as an academic and supported and got funding for my programs for decades. I was a higher level GS employee for the feds and I ran new product development for a couple small to medium biotech firms. The last firm I worked for got bought by a giant multinational company which rhymes with Spargill. They changed the way we did things and suddenly, I had a “Project manager”, who didn’t know anything about the project I developed and managed. Nor did they do anything else I could figure out other than call me on the phone and ask what I was up to and how the projects, which I developed and was PI on were going. I swear to god I have no idea what these people did, but EVERYONE who was a scientist got at least one of these useless managers. And I can bet those “managers” got paid more than we did. Anyway, the only thing I could figure out was that project managers were positions given to people who couldn’t do any real science anymore but had played the game and needed a reward. So their reward was to call up people like me every once in a while and ask me how things were going. Were there EVER a more useless job I can’t imagine what it might be.

“Fox viewers are stupid” should hardly be news to anyone by now.

An excellent analysis. Thank you for a thought and highly plausible explanation of the JKR phenomenon.
