  1. I missed this. Quoting so maybe you'll see it. You need to do the fucking thing, man. You're floating aimlessly because you're fucked up on substances and nobody can really aim all that well when they're fucked up on substances. I'd love to talk at length about the purpose thing but really - there's no purpose dude. As a homo sapien your purpose is to get loved, make more, try and stay alive. As a tiny little speck of dust in the galaxy, if you think that there is a special purpose with your name stamped on it, you really shouldn't have any issue with the whole God thing in AA just so long as you can admit you ain't him. As someone who dreamed of being a rockstar and then wasn't, I'll tell you that the trap is not knowing what your new dream is and so doing nothing at all. Pay less attention to the destination and make sure you're going on a journey - move your feet, take the fork, keep moving, you'll get somewhere worthwhile. But not if you're all fucked up. I'm spoilering the next bit because it's just a tired crazy longcat thing, like some guy giving a talk at a meeting with no prep or even narrative planned. I probably shouldn't even post it, I'm just kinda letting it out.
  2. Oh man dorm room 12 string…
  3. I would want one of those mustache gibsons if they weren't 12 billion dollars each. Beautiful guitars. That OOO tanned up! I have my rosewood J45 and my HD28 on the wall right now, I do still just mostly pick up the 28 or the 41 most of the time. I should pull my OOO15M back out. I've been a bit of bluegrass (not seriously, but a bit) as well as writing more "strum loud and shout" type songs, which I want a dreadnought for. So the 15 has been away, but it is such a great guitar and such an inviting one to play. Martin is like Rolex in that... it's synonymous with the thing, it's maybe even overrated in that respect, but also they just no doubt make some of the best guitars on the planet and are incredibly consistent. The acoustic that I'm really missing in my collection is a D18.
  4. Uh so I’ll make a lot of Chinese fried chicken recipes (sesame, orange, etc) by just buying chick fil a and giving them a quick toss in the sauce.
  5. Prime meridian, chop an end off, peel the first couple layers off, chop the other end off, radial longitudinal cuts and then rotate and cut straight latitude. Repeat with other side. Skip the latitude cuts if you just want to julienne the onion. wife gives me shit because I take forever cooking new recipes. I just can’t hold anything in my head with confidence for very long, I’m constantly double checking my steps. If it’s something I make a lot, at some point I just know it and am quick. I’ll say the other thing - I blame watching kids while I’m trying to grill but I have a much lower success rate on the grill than the stove. I think I’m bad at understanding the heat management of my Weber spirit, stuff doesn’t get cooked as thoroughly as I’m hoping.
  6. What a cool project. did Dreamcast launch between ps1 and ps2 by like a half cycle or was it a straight contemporary of ps2? It’s so funny thinking back to that era of gaming and then for me, that era of being in intermediate and jr high - so much of gaming had to do with haggling with parents. I missed the whole n64/ps1 era and only got the ps2 when my my mom died and I guess they thought I needed a distraction. I remember picking up GTA III at Best Buy with my buddy thinking it might be cool, and then basically sitting in front of the tv for hours in a daze. No game has ever been a revelation quite like that one.
  7. What message board does your wife post on I want to read that thread
  8. There was a thread a few years back where I was asking about Toastmasters. I had been curious about it generally just trying to find things to do as someone new to an area - with a bit more experience with it as an organization now I can say that it is not where I’d go looking for friends and is in fact kinda full of weirdos. But anyways - my last company had a corporate club that I ended I joining. One of the things that you do in every meeting is have “table topics” where you can volunteer to receive a prompt and then give a quick 3-5 minute speech on the spot. I am extremely glad I did that and got a ton of reps doing exactly that thing, because my interviews this time around all went great. Short version of what I’m saying is that if like me your problem is about of nerves and trying to keep your mind calm and relaxed as you both speak and attempt to come up with the next thing to say, the answer is reps. I think there may be some places you can find people to mock interview with. There is toastmasters. You could look for any other opportunities to do public speaking. And then past that, there’s basic stuff like STAR method, books about how to interview for different positions. I like to just fill my head with content - I was interviewing for a lot of product management jobs, I listened to a lot of Lenny’s Podcast leading up to interviews and I did find myself more easily accessing useful words and phrases to answer questions.
  9. To be clear, I’m talking about old ladies. Also Austin white people Tex Mex.
  10. I would eat the shit out of some Maudie’s right now.
  11. have they gotten the cvr audio yet? pilot could have been getting a blowie
  12. I think that people are kinda trying to just say "yeah different standards" and if I was one of those guys I would be constantly afraid of it turning into a conversation about how 13 year olds were always too young to be fucking
  13. yeah if I’m them I’m hoping just kinda dip out and stay under the radar till I’m dead. Honestly the Led Zep guys too. I saw them in The Woodlands in the… Pink era maybe. I think Get a Grip was the first album I bought.
  14. Well they took for goddamn ever but after a month and a half and I think 6 interviews I got the offer for that job today. Stoked to be out of the wilderness.
  15. https://www.reddit.com/r/raleigh/s/kA4HwGbMEq lulz, tesla service center in Raleigh uses an overflow lot down the street that literally overflows during big rain events.
  16. Yeah I’m not trying to overstate my understanding of the tech job market or even what kinds of people were likely impacted at Dell but I think it’s pretty competitive right now, maybe especially for jr devs. It seems like any product job getting posted has 100 applicants within an hour.
  17. Such a crappy market to get laid off into. T&P
  18. Ah good, so not aggy, congrats
  19. Khaki
  20. Musk also filed suit today against his second grade class for conspiring to not invite him to their birthday parties as well as all of his college friends for creating a second group text message without him in it.
