Need to grind your timegated dragon bucks so your little dragon buddy can increase his glide ratio by 1% a week. Oh wait that's way too fast. 0.3% a week is probably more like it. Need to milk out at least a year of content from that. Oh, most definitely expect tons of that stupid MoP "dragon...

It started okay. Let's see if it doesn't shit the bed.

STUNNING AND BRAVE

This looks like shit.

It would make me quite salty at any company if hiring was like Interview 1: Talent Acquisition Screens -> Thumbs up Interview 2: Hiring manager -> Thumbs up Interview 3: Final interview(s) with Team Lead/Lead Engineer or whatever -> Thumbs up HR -> Final decision maker despite having nothing...

Maybe I am not being clear here but Tech HR, in my experience, does absolutely nothing beyond the initial budgetary constraints for hires. They don't interview anyone unless its other HR people who will be on their team. Ever.

That seems really really retarded to let the ultimate hiring decision be on someone who not only didn't interview the person but won't be on the team that candidate is on anyway. Guess that would be a reason why everyone hates HR.

So this is something that may be unique to the Tech Industry. HR has almost zero control over screening candidates in Tech. It's done by recruiters/talent acquisition. These people are incentivized monetarily to fill seats and not not to screen out people for stupid shit like school name. Which...

When I got a Masters. I was skeptical of the impact it would have on my career. But my leadership told me it was a major factor in getting the massive promotion I got last year (given, I also did try and quit). So it definitely paid for itself.

So in a few years this will climax? Or do you think its faster approaching than we realize?

Personally I question how far school name gets you. I've never once heard of anyone (in the tech industry) giving a shit about school name. I am sure it happens but seems its a few and far between kind of thing.

Does the underlying basis of super shitty loan practices come into play this time around? What form will the collapse into underwater mortgages take?

My current house, in the Austin fashion, had the tax basis increase by $35k for 2022. Yay.

What's fridging again?

A CS degree no less.

I listened at 1.5x while working on other shit.

This guy is well spoken and this was pretty cool.

😭

Here in Texas on a 3/2 1500 sqft house I paid ~$7k this year. Shit sucks.

Yeah I've heard that line before. Lots of diversity due it being an oil town/shipping.

Houston is a shithole but at least its not Austin.

Pretty much. I got a similar house a 3bd/2bath 1450 SQFT but no basement because its Texas. I never considered mine a starter home. But it was what I could afford at the time. Now that we are both committed to WFH and the fam has expanded we are moving into a 4/3 with a dedicated study (for...

Even before the Rona I was doing 1 WFH day a week pretty much. Any place that is against WFH is a place I won't even consider working. End of story.

That kind of comp range decrease "because Arkansas" would rustle me pretty hard lol. Get fucked Fintech bros.

Yeah, in Jackal it isn't even brought up other than mentioning spell rankings. Which works into generic fantasy tropes anyway so its fine. There isn't levels or systems or anything. It really excels in subversion of the Isekai tropes. Minor spoilers.

I know I and others have mentioned it before but the best more recent one Jackal among Snakes. Much like the other really good "LitRPGS" like He Who Fights Monsters it mostly abandoned the actual litrpg aspects and only mentions them in passing from time to time. Solid fantasy otherwise. It...

Well clearly people are wanting to and buying houses thus creating a lot of pressure on the market. But the person who could afford a $400k house is going to struggle paying for that same house when it costs $800k. My income increased dramatically with the Corona, but not astronomically.

Play bullshit for a year and half (while paying the whole time) until the game is in a state you can actually enjoy somewhat? That's retard shit.

While I always agree that real estate markets are highly localized and Austin is a center for madness lately. This kind of lunacy seems to be all over. People don't seem to have much of an issue gulping these houses up despite the ever rising prices.

If I bought the house I am building today as opposed to Jan 2021 when I did it would be $1100 more a month with today's interest rate. Based on the loan amount differences only. As the same house today starts at $200k more than I paid for it. Edit: Oh wait they changed it again! Jan 2021...

Had this at Old Tom's in Miami.

Yeah, but she only recently started acting this way. I would have noticed it when we started dating in 2015 otherwise. This is a 2020-2022 development.

I think I've found one thing in my marriage that may cause a problem later. I am a pretty agreeable person in general and willing to compromise on just about everything as I am able to roll with the punches and adjust to most things. On my woman's side she is seemingly unable to compromise to...

He clearly didn't hide it that well but everyone around him just went along with it. Even dudes like Johnny Rotten heard the stories in the 70s and he, of all fucking people, tried to blast him on BBC about it and told the jokers at BBC that he knew they'd censor what he said. Which they did.

I'm wearing my Depraved Perfumer set. I love it too much.

Speedruns where you have to display expert knowledge and skill is way more interesting and awesome than glitch runs. I have no idea who likes watching glitch runs other than the fags who do them.

We bought a panini press this last month. I thought it was a dumb thing but damn it only cost $40 and its amazing. Do recommend having one. My wife and the kids love it.

I've been on the other side of hiring for a few years now. It's hard to get these kinds of candidates into interviews. You can try but its a hard no a lot of the time. No undergrad at all? Most corporate would never consider it.

Welcome to life buddy. IDK, if you're not remote get him to a happy hour or something. We just hired a guy into a BI Analyst role to assist me. I liked him a lot during the interview and I can tell he's a bit hungry for it. Very irregular candidate. Never went to university, spent years...

Please correct me if I am being retarded here. You're saying that even if your 18 year old son lives with you while going to university you must pay your ex wife the rate you were paying for both of them. On top of that your ex wife gets to milk an additional 4 years of support from you from...
