Re: Funny pics

It is equal pay for equal work. It is not equal pay for equal job/position/title. My office has 10 staff positions, 4 women and 6 men. The highest paid person is female, the lowest paid is also female. The two people that have been here the longest are male, and per the previous statement neither i...

Re: Funny pics

Well, more like $19,500 to $21,000 a month vs a year, for the sort of positions we're talking about. Or are they even negotiating salaries not much above minimum wage in large corporations? Of course as you get to smaller private businesses it's very much up in the air all the time. And there is th...

Re: Funny pics

. Sometimes a job ad will saysomething like "Salary £19,500 - £21,000 depending on experience and qualifications" or something, but I've never seen a job where they just expect you to ask for a salary and then negotiate something with them. I should have been more clear the above is how i...

Re: Funny pics

It pretty much only occurs at salary level positions. A company is hiring for a few positions at entry or mid-level in the corporate scheme, along with the job offer they offer a certain salary which may or may not be negotiable to some level. The wage gap occurs because the initial offer and/or the...

Alternative Biochemistry Question

As some of you may know I've been fiddling around with designing my own sci-fi universe from the ground up. I am currently working on outlining the atmospheres for several of the different worlds in question and ran into a bit of a snag. One of my species in particular I wanted to give a biochemistr...

Re: Klingon Fleet

It makes sense that the Houses control their own forces considering the seemingly feudal-type government. My best guess on explaining the relative uniformity of designs is that no one house develops the designs anymore. It seems to me that once the Empire made contact with the likes of the Romulans,...

Try the new link. I forgot I'd put it on a black background to get the color black I wanted. I also made the color lighter in the new one so it's easier to see.

New Universe New Ship

So, for a couple years now I've been working off an on on developing my own universe. It's still very much a work in progress, but I've been toying around with some ship designs and this afternoon I decided to try and model one of them. The result is the Ares Class . Length: ~520m Beam: ~200m Height...
