OT: The Avalounge (mod warning - No Politics)

[sethro109]

Yeah, that's what happened to me.

If I hear enough good things about it, I'll eventually give it a chance. There really is a lack of quality programming. There's gazillions of set and forget shows and movies but stuff like the first several seasons of GoT, Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul, the Expanse doesn't come around too often...there's not a lot out there that can really keep my attention at times. Side note, I FINALLY finished the original Walking Dead series. My god I was rooting for the zombies the least three seasons. Such a shame how long they drug that out. It deserved a much better and sooner ending.

You mean you're not going to watch the Daryl Dixon spin-off!?

I'm joking of course. I quit walking Dead shortly after they left the farm.

My quest of joining bluesky ends here. 11/14/24~11/14/24

This f***er hasn't post in 16 months. I hate social media

I'm still trying to get Foppa here on HF after @Foppa offered it to me a decade or so ago, since he didn't post much, and people referred to me as that, but I turned him down because he beat me to it by a bit.

He hasn't posted in 7 years and his handle doesn't even auto generate when you type it anymore. Hope he's doing well.

Why would a company say they want to do a phone interview and then put that phone interview on Microsoft Teams? Just call my damn number lol.

They want to see your face and judge you when you answer that stupid question about your salary expectations.

 

[Foppa2118]

Man I had a pretty grueling set of interview for the Miami Marlins. Lead Engineer position for their new analytics position and I felt like I absolutely killed it. Over 1000 applicants and I made it to the final 3. But I haven't heard back in 3 weeks now . You'd think after a 2 month interview process they'd at least send me a message that they went with someone else or something FFS. So frustrating.

My dream of Costanza'ing my way to the top of that org is ruined

I think I know your mistake...

Did you admit to having sex with the cleaning lady at your last job during the interview, and then tell the owner he reduced the team to a laughing stock because of his massive ego? Or did you leave that out?

You know what I didn't get a chance to berate the GM unfortunately

These boards are basically unuseable without ad block which I don't have at work.

Would you like some message board with your ads?

Best $12 you can spend is to get rid of the ads

Little psycho finally got what he wanted

Ads?

Ads?

This is the picture that will get him the sponsorships. He's young enough I think Kool-Aid, Sour Patch Kids, and Pokemon would all be incredible and make for unforgetable pads/helmets.

The NBA G-League elf jerseys. This is straight up some Jackie Moon/Flint Tropics stuff.

Anyone collect hockey cards? Have a son on the way next year and I'd like to buy him a box for when he's older. Something that would ideally have younger players that'll be older by the time he could watch.

You should lead with the good news dude.

Don't quote me on it, but I do think they sell a young guns set that focuses more on rookies

Hah, thanks man. It's kinda crazy to post it on here, my wife and I are laying in bed watching hockey and she's asking me 'where rosey cheeks is'. I joined this place almost 20 years ago when I was still a kid.

That's what I was thinking I had seen somewhere. But I wouldn't know the first thing on which cards to look for or where. Was hoping someone here had an idea and then like 6-7 years from now when they'll appreciate it I can pull it out of the closet and surprise them.

Yeah, Young Guns is the collection you'll want to get, but more specifically you'll want to be looking for Series 2 rather then Series 1 for either 2023-24 or 2024-25. 23-24 Series 2 has Bedard in it, 2024-25 Series 2 isn't released yet but will almost certainly have Celebrini and Michkov in it.

They release a series 1 and series 2 every year of the Young Guns, so if you're looking just keep an eye on which series it is.

Anyone following this crazy drone stuff going on? Apparently they're over the US capital now. I, for one, welcome our alien overlords

There are a few things I would like explained, but to be honest a lot of the footage over the last few days from all over social media are just showing legally flying commercial drones and in some cases passenger airplanes from a distance.

The fact that the government so far has refused to say what they are, other than non-hostile so far is a bit worrisome. They either legitimately don't know or it's being done by them and it's classified.
