    Job Hunting

    GM perks were the ridiculous benefits package. Yearly bonus was strong (up to 20% I usually got 10-15), 40+ days off a year, slow ass business pace so it wasn't really demanding. If you were a level 8 (manager or higher) you get a free car you change out every quarter. You don't even pay for...

    Pit bulls - The Breed of Peace

    Owner I am sure said, "he didn't mean it!!!!!" I would have killed her worthless mutt right there. Stabbed it in the fucking throat and told her to go fuck herself. Stupid fucking skank owner.

    Dealing with addiction

    I have a ton of Norwegian pals from when I lived in Florida who came there every year for some skydiving events. All of them drank like they'd never drank before. Those that drank a lot even over there were deep in the homebrew/moonshine game to avoid taxes. Beer is cheap to make. I used to...

    The Fast Food Thread

    I don't think I've been to BK since I moved to Texas 6 years ago. It's all about the Whataburger here if I am ever feeling like something BK would make. Whataburger is way more plentiful than BK is too.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    It just undermines how the gear treadmill of an MMO is supposed to work man. Plain and simple. I start the game as a lowly warrior Timmy McDerp. I start derping my through the game killing shit and see Uber Uberstein wielding the epic Smashly Hammer of Greatness. It looks cool, it does...

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    The starting salaries for the high COL areas make sense I do give it that. My friend is getting out of the Navy and got a job in San Jose making $130k. Which sounds pretty rough to me since a shitbox apartment is running you $2500. Since he has a wife and kid who probably don't want a shitbox...

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    I have a hard time believing that fresh grads are getting $150k+ and $40k signing bonuses at some of these places. Clearly I'm applying to the wrong companies.

    @zombiewizardhawk can confirm but thinking on it I believe the point of this shit is so they can complain that X is not as described and thus should be free eatning 3/4 of it.

    Archery - As a Hobby

    My only aim here is to do this for fitness and to gain skill. I may hunt with it in some time if I have a kid who I can get into it with. But mostly it will be something to do for an hour or two every Saturday for as long as I live in this location. I'm sorry but I don't understand what you are...

    Archery - As a Hobby

    Maybe. I grew up in a town of <9k people. I have come to really appreciate the small town. I want to be in a small town, work remotely, and have a bunch of property to do whatever dumb shit I want. That's the dream for me man! Maybe in a few years. But I always heard Ithaca is great for...

    Archery - As a Hobby

    I am quite a fit person lately and I enjoy variety to my routine. But I would certainly buy one good bow and stick to it. Is your health improving brother? I don't own a bow at all but I want to buy something that's, "historical" rather than modern and practical. As I will just be doing this...

    Archery - As a Hobby

    So for whatever reason an Archery range opened up on my street. I am going to be joining up with their annual membership with 1 free session a week. Since it is only $50 a year I figured it could be fun for Sat/Sun morning. Do any of you shoot bows and shit? I've never done it before but will...

    Best Credit Card with Cash Back Rewards

    I don't travel a ton but I do get my vacation flight paid for each year with my Chase Sapphire. The only card worth the annual fee so far. I haven't found another worth it yet.

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Go to Lodi. One of the best DZ's ever. @Foler yes I mostly swoop these days because I don't need to make an effort to find the freefly groups and can improve with much less instruction. Also more cost effective!

    Lost 35 lbs doing partly keto and following this workout plan. Weight loss occurred over 2 months of following this. https://cdn.muscleandstrength.com/sites/default/files/workouts/6daycutting_0.pdf I modify this workout by running every MWF/S before I lift. As I like running a lot. I am up to...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    One of her life goals is owning her own flat in Kyiv. Even if she doesn't live there. A good one near city center only runs like $60k and will also have the secondary benefit of providing for her mom via rents.

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    She grew up in Ukraine. Suffice to say the primary difference I've noticed is that she has an extremely clear and firm belief on what constitutes as Man shit and Woman shit. Thus, anything that falls into my category she fully expects me to do 100% and any expectation that she should help is...

    When I was doing interviews at Sonic Healthcare the lead engineer and hiring manager said they hired 5 of them. The team I interviewed for at Adobe had them too.

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    When I started at GM with a fresh CS I was making $58k. I made $86k my last year there. From what I understand this was relatively under market value (for Austin area) when it comes to direct salary. The benefits at GM make it worth it though. I don't think it's unheard of to get $60k fresh out...
