Er, misplaced quote end tag.

Did I say I was the first? This place is particularly shitty though. Just as an anecdote, we're a 1400 person company, but we've got an entire page on our intranet devoted to customers we've lost to companies started by ex-employees. As for making demands of my direct superiors, I think my...

Annual reviews are only done by our direct supervisor. Getting a 'leadership meeting' is impossible, extra impossible for people who work second and third shift. Both my direct supervisor and his direct supervisor are afraid that I want their jobs.

I've gotten some prepaid gift cards as compensation/special recognition, but nothing substantial. I've been told my pay will be sharply corrected in December, but nothing is in writing. If it is not corrected, the university has offered me 22.50 an hour (which is 3 dollars more an hour than I...

Tried that. People outside our department don't care who fucked up, only that "after hours team fucked up." Management inside our department doesn't fire the slackers, because no one wants to work here, and especially no one wants to work second or third shift here.

Because our work isn't assigned really assigned. 90% of what we do is reactive. A huge part of the job is real-time monitoring of basically every voice/data device we've ever sold 6500 customers at over 200,000 sites. If SNMP traps and other various voice/data alarms aren't investigated and...

It's not mandatory, but 80% of the people I work with are lazy/incompetent, so if I didn't work extra hours, I'd end up having to do everyone else's work in a smaller amount of time and just get paid less for it. Third shift just doesn't like to come in, so on the weekends, when there is no...

I realize I'm fucking dumb, but do you think I'd work 65 hour weeks on the reg if I wasn't getting paid?

Obviously.

Not exaggerating. I worked 4 hours past the end of my shift on Friday at midnight because 2 people from third shift didn't come in, and then covered a 12 hour shift during the day, then covered for 4 more hours for 2 people who didn't come in on third shift again. I did take a 2 hour nap/meal...

I mean, I'm broke enough to work 18 hours on my day off. Just not enough to degrade myself on the internet.

Eh, I ain't that broke.

Fine, I'll accept a 500 dollar amazon gift card, if you insist.

Did they dress up like spooky ghosts?

People who put their fries in their frosties should have their balls cut off.

Give me some money and you'll feel better.

I did fix my brakes and my interior fan blower motor. Probably saved myself like 400 dollars doing it myself.

I'm really glad I had a day off work so I could use it to catch up on work.

Not sure how good it is in constructed, probably pretty good with cards like Thraben Inspector around, but it is one of the best first picks in the set for limited and almost certainly the best rare, with Chandra, Angel of Invention, Nissa and the green Gearhulk being the only mythics I'd really...

Yeah, that's probably the best common vehicle, though the fact that it can't be crewed by a single 1/1 token makes it not amazing in all decks. Smuggler's Copter is just insane. Practically Jitte quality in limited.

New set is actually great. Best sealed format in forever, almost certainly a great draft format. The packs are very deep; 10-12 limited playables per pack.

They should make it a minimum of 6 months, but I actually think the redemption window is a positive thing for MTGO. Physical vendors will more aggressively redeem sets, keeping the price of singles on MTGO higher, which will keep pack prices more stable, drafts a better value proposition, etc.

How is there not a thread yet about Mars?

Also, I've got an air wrench, just no jacks.

It's a 16 year old Rhode Island shitbox I'll have you know.

I can replace brakes on my Saturn, it's trivial, just not while working 65+ hour weeks. Also my creeper isn't exactly compatible with my gravel driveway, and my stepfather took all the good jacks when he left. Basically, it would just be a bitch. If I can get someone to loan me some jacks...

Everything is exactly as shit as it was before. On the plus side, my brakes are fucked and I might die.

That's just mouse smoothing + motion blur, and those are things most mouse users will turn off. I'm sure it's helpful for VR or other head-tracking users.

What does it pay? I'd love to work in a datacenter instead of this shitty NOC. That's actually the type of job I thought I was getting into here.

This needs more Shodan.

From tears? From humping them? Because my house flooded? I'm not even sure in which specific way I'm being mocked here.

I got rid of those a few years ago I'll have you know.

When someone asks me about my day it is always "I sat on hold with/yelled at other people's phone companies/ISPs all night while also doing 6 other jobs." People don't ask me anymore.

This has already been shot down from what I've seen. It would make the TI faster and more expensive than the Titan X.

Also keep in mind that the 1080 is the last card you'll ever need at 1440p, and even the Titan X isn't good enough to do 4k at 60+ fps in all situations. To do that will require another whole hardware generation. That leaves a 1080ti filling a niche where it'll be the perfect fit for those 100...

I dunno, given the way pricing has gone this time around, I'm expecting the Ti to be ~15% better than the 1080 and around 800 dollars. If it hits at that point, I'm positive 2x 1070s is just better.

I think that's pretty fucking bad. That right there should tell you how fucking bad it is.

But a 1080 can max everything at 100+ fps @ 1440p so I'm not even sure why bother? Also the TI is probably not going to be any better than the Titan X, so probably not even worth it.

Yeah just throw a 1070 or 1080 in it and go.
