  1. This. Not in OG, in a bunch of industries, it is quite common that companies have internal requirements to post jobs for X days etc. But they already had their candidate chosen before they posted anything. The posting will stay active for however many days to satisfy their internal posting requirement.
  2. Pizza Studio Tamaki, now 2 locations in Tokyo. Listed into Michelin guide only 2yr after opening. Make a reservation well in advance. https://www.instagram.com/pizzastudiotamaki/?hl=en https://www.eater.com/2017/2/21/14670944/best-pizza-tokyo-guide https://www.andyhayler.com/restaurant/pizza-studio-tamaki

    I was told there would be no math.
  4. In fun news, Tag Heuer x Mario Kart. I find this hilarious and thought it was April Fools at first. I love the game and I love them leaning into the quirk - the date wheel simulating the random slot machine powerup spin in game is perfect. https://www.tagheuer.com/us/en/new-tag-heuer-mario-kart-watches-limited-edition/mariokart.html https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/here-we-go-tag-heuer-floors-it-with-two-mario-kart-formula-1-les-including-a-super-mario-tourbillon The date wheel has the power star, purple shell, banana, and mushroom on a few dates, so they "spin" by as the days pass. Rotor is karts. They even made one a tourbillon (wtf lol). Chrono is 4.3k, tourbillon is 25.6k (cough). Limited to 3000pc and 250pc respectively.
  5. Stupid shit that husbands do. Trims her bush, husband complains anyway.
  6. Basically, yes. And for all the talk about China taking Taiwan to get chipmaking, they'd get the fabs but wouldn't get working processes and equipment, and support staff would all be yanked overnight just like in China. Best case at that point is multiple years to get back to production, and probably never achieving yields like now. It isn't that easy. There's a reason every equipment maker has full time staff positioned in every fab, support is constant. They really need to take Taiwan via soft power and leave the country and specifically mfg infrastructure operating for it to be of tactical value.
  7. I really enjoyed Craig Ferguson, wish he'd gotten more traction.
  8. I thought Caffeine Free on a soda can meant you got some free caffeine, but I could never figure out where it was in the package or how you were supposed to request it.
  9. I thought married people had more sex.
  10. Had a craving for lunch meat-style roast beef. Cheap Aussie picanha, trimmed, dry brine, smoked, seared, chilled then sliced. Hit the spot, tasty and tender, perfect cold on a sandwich.
  11. Your wife is right. Car range is calculated based on a short-term rolling average MPG, not on the lifetime of car. Your driving habits most definitely will change that number, usually fairly quickly (typical rolling average is double digit miles).
  12. Nothing you asked for, and it isn't even Scottsdale, but Wed/Sat go to Chicago Hamburger Co. for a fantastic bratwurst. Every other day go for a burger or for a hot dog. Peanut butter shake. Amazing fries, sprinkle some Cajun in your ketchup to dip the fries. Can't recommend this place enough. I go nearly every Sat when I'm in town, and have been going for about 16 years. (And I don't live anywhere near!) https://goo.gl/maps/eWDVFwZWVBFxxBKd9 If you want to visit an old Phoenix icon, Bobby-Q's. It used to be Bobby McGee's, while you won't find the BBQ to be amazing bbq compared to TX, it is good food and the place is truly iconic history, just browse the photos and enjoy the environment and great service. (There is a closer location in Scottsdale, but this is the original in Phoenix. Recommend making the drive for more nostalgia.) https://goo.gl/maps/roaTQMWPX1Nkw72w7 2 Italian Delis, both on Scottsdale Rd but N/S about 8mi from each other: Guido's Chicago https://goo.gl/maps/xFg5iErYBBaWWozF8 DeFalco's https://g.page/DeFalcosDeli?share
  13. Incredible job with shaping. Deceivingly hard to get a nice large round at home!
  14. This will probably be damped by the interest rates. Anyone who bought in with low rates isn't going to sell unless they have an emergency reason, as they'll have to buy a much cheaper house just to 'break even' on payments.
  15. You're in a lucky time zone. 2000 Fri budget update calls.
  16. Yes. Answer is yes.
  17. Nostrils.
  18. A mutton chop from Keen's?
  19. I find a steamer dome (fancy name for inverted metal bowl, but with a handle hopefully cool to touch) to be useful on flattops for stir fry, melting cheese, etc. And a little squirt bottle of water, to inject under the dome to provide the steam.
  20. Must have a pretty comfortable couch to sleep on.
  21. Walmart previous prices were on sale. The current prices are normal MSRP prices. Sales come and go fairly regularly, never pay MSRP for this stuff. Not to make you feel bad, but individual Costco are putting Classic2 on clearance at end of season, lots of internet posts showing that the clearance ones are $497. Might be worth you checking back in store regularly, buy and return on your old receipt if you find one on clearance. Edit: Also note the Big Joe 1 has been down to ~775 on sale at Amazon at one point, and in the 800s at Walmart.
  22. Couple fried brisket videos on YT, results look kind of terrible, I would expect it to be chewy as fuck. Guga did one where he confited it for a long while and it turned out well, I'd imagine similar to the LeroyLewis beef cheeks confit. Now if you smoked brisket and then thick sliced and katsu fried it using light breadcrumb like Japanese katsu, it might be amazing...
  23. That's because you actually CAN use Excel for everything:
