I verbally accepted an offer today with a pretty well known company. This will get me good experience dealing with a lot of traffic and a lot of servers, one thing that I have been missing. It's almost exactly a 33% pay increase from my previous job. I'm at the top end of the pay scale for the...

I forgot to update the situation on my parents place. The realtor they used was ancient, out of it. The all cash deal they had wasn't "as is" and after getting 5" of rain over a week, he had an inspector out there that found "excess moisture" in the crawlspace. They wanted a $6k sump pump system...

I haven't watched this particular video yet, but I went to high school about 30 minutes away from Harrison. It's the outskirt cities that had (have?) the racists. The grand dragon's place had a circle drive, and the dare was to do a loop blasting rap music. I don't know of anyone who took that...

The battery requirement is what killed solar for me in AR. I was looking at a giant installation (on my shop building, which is perfect for solar) - 64 panels. $70-90k depending on the vendor. Spending that kind of coin on a solar installation that stops working when the grid goes down? That's...

Classes?

Around the house, yeah, but it’s mostly in or near the flower bed. The rest is effectively pasture that I mow. House is right in the middle of the 5 acres, so it would be hard to hay and make worthwhile.

I finally got a break in kids sports to mow. Lanx will hate this image, but this is what my mower at 6”, with a little closer to the house at 4” looks like. It was way overgrown, knee height in most areas. First time it’s all been a uniform height this spring - usually only have an hour to mow...

Buy an enclosed trailer and sell it at your destination.

I don't expect them to keep tabs on everyone... but now that you mention it, what else does HR have to do with nobody in the office fucking each other for the last 2 years? I have told a few close work friends that I'm looking, but we talk shit 24/7 and this isn't anything different.

I turned off my "looking for work" flag last week. I'm going to put forward a medium to high amount of effort to continue pressing the 5 in-flight interviews that I have at the moment. I have had about 40 phone calls, but I've been real picky about who I proceed with. In total 165 recruiters...

Next update in my potential job change journey... Talked to this recruiter on Zoom. He works directly for the company. About the same age as me, a lot of similar shit in the background of his office. We get along real well. By the end he's talking about the number of shares that hires are...

Great ideas. I'll pass them along.

They aren't prepared to move out - I don't think they realized what the market is like right now.

Yes, as is.

Accepted the cash offer, which was at $259k, as is, one month closing.

Yep, very perceptive. They received an all cash offer. I don't know the amounts yet, but they are up to 7 offers total. My advice to them was to consider the cash one first, provided it's not some foreign entity or a company, then buyers who already have funding secured and a known rate locked...

My parents listed their place yesterday afternoon in southern Missouri. 2k sq ft, 16k sq ft lot, built in the 60s. 4/3. Starting at $240k, they had 4 tours in the 4 hours that it was listed, two offers so far, leading offer is up to 255. 4 more tours were scheduled for today, as of last night...

They are building every kind of home like crazy here in NW Arkansas. You can barely see the AR average in the top graph from city-data. Also, lol Zillow, I know, but recall I fled CA 2 years ago next month… +350k supposedly since I landed.

I can start to trickle in updates as I go I guess. I had a call yesterday with a company. Guy on chat gave me the comp ranges for senior and staff positions, 265-475 is the bottom of senior, 475 is the top of staff. That's in my range, great. So I get on the call yesterday with his recruiter...

PUTTIN' MILES ON THIS OLD TRUCK!

I would look at the cost of losing your apartment and having to find a new one. Paying double, mortgage plus rent, is an easy hedge against the cost of having to scramble to find a place. Most mortgages you start paying the second month, so like if you closed June 4th, you would start paying in...

That's because a lot of people who should know about certificates, actually aren't completely comfortable working with them. It's surprising, because it's normally a perfectly fine engineer/coworker otherwise, but just can't grasp the concepts. Then the other thing is decisiveness. Being able...

$500. He had a black Friday sale which a friend of mine used, so he paid $250. This person went from a coding bootcamp to Jr dev, dev, to technical project manager in the past 3 years. The TPM role is at over $200k in total compensation (unsure exactly), with this last role being something close...

I’m using RP Stivers Consulting | and enjoying it so far. I paid a little more to have the main guy do it.

So I went to drop my sign there and help people, not thinking about it. People invading and we’re all holding the giant serpent spears, not our usual weapons. Pretty good idea from the invader side!

Yellow circle here. Look for the stairs down into a cellar I guess you could call it. It’s filled with nightmare monsters. Run through and use invincibility frames opening the door and the chest to save you.

I think the lore in this game encourages everyone to have some kind of faith. There's seemingly what, 3 types of churches? Good / Bad / Beast ? Does Dragon worship count as another church?

Think I'm going to respec and lean into the dex/int life tonight. I took dex way up into the 30s and then proceeded to not get a single worthwhile dex based drop. I'm rocking the Meteor katana, which is physical/magic plus bleed, str/dex/int scaling, have it up to +5 currently. Just got...

Very few things live up to hype. I went in being almost entirely media blind, with the exception to watching FExtralife's review on Wednesday night confirming the buy order once preload was available. Incredible. Just incredible.

I keep disconnecting while in the queue to connect. I've gone from 9,000 to 4,000, disconnect... 9,000 to 2,000, disconnect... This may not be the worst, but it's up there.

Sounds like you could move into a software QA department, any of them, and immediately (and I mean right away) get a 30% pay bump. If not 50%. While being remote. Tech sales is a way, way better option than that. Follow up with @TJT for real.

This looks just as annoying. The joke is played out, move on.

The only thing that would get me to buy GTAV would be additional single player content. The multi has always been trash, filled to the brim with the worst people.

The day 1 patch notes says that it fixes 1,000 bugs. I would hold off on buying this, unless you're a complete moron, based on that alone.

It's worth it to me for the loading times, alone. Things like Kingdom Come are actually playable and I don't pass out in 45 minutes from taking a shot every loading screen.

That was a stellar deal while it lasted. I just paid about $2k out the door for a Lenovo Legion 7 with a 3070. If you call in and talk to sales they will honor the LEGIONDEALS15 coupon for a total of 25% off list price...

They went from one month of pay severance to two months of pay with me simply asking for it. No conditions on my part. FWIW

Well, I got pushed out from one job today. Acquired back in Q1/Q2 last year. Back in August, there was a merger. Then another company came on board in Oct. I guess they looked at the financials and are giving me the boot. I'm training two people in the Ukraine and one in South America to take...

Fuck you guys, I’m going to learn to parry.

Sekiro wants me to play a way that I have never played any souls game, or any other game, before. Just to beat a a few bosses sprinkled here and there. I think that’s my main problem. I can’t do that riposte shit consistently to save my life.
