Got a couple.

The first bad interview I turned up and had to wait for the owner who rocked up 15 minutes late. We had a discussion and he was happy with my IT skills, we then got into a discussion of how to run the business.

He asked me what would I do if a salesman kept selling Linux support to businesses but the company had no one that had experience of it, I said it didn’t feel morally right to sell something that you can’t actually fulfill currently, put a cork in the salesman regarding Linux support, train/hire staff and when ready then continue to offer it. He said that’s not how his business works and to drive the business the salesman was doing the right thing.

During that interview I saw someone walk into the office that I had worked with in the past, they were incredibly unreliable, bad at the job and were fired, this one guy appearing gave me the final sign this was not the workplace for me. After the interview they gave me an offer that I declined.

The second interview probably a out 2 months later I turned up to was a small company of maybe 3 people. I turned up and it was a shared office space they used, he walked up to the receptionist and asked if there was a meeting room available, she said no. So he led me to the kitchenette area where he offered for me to sit on a sofa not to dissimilar to this…

Having the hum of a vending machine in the background added to the ambience. We got to chatting and it sounded like the guy didn’t really know what he wanted to do with the business or how to run it, generally seemed disorganised.

Towards the end of the interview wouldn’t you know it, the same guy I used to work with walked into the kitchenette wearing the t-shirt of a company in the building, gave me “the nod” and proceeded to use the vending machine, which failed to dispense his choice and he stood there shaking the machine.

This guy must have been some kind of angel in place to stop me from taking bad jobs. I declined the offer they gave me. A year or so later I was telling a friend about this and we checked on the company, it went out of business.

They were bad interviews, but I still got something out of them.

Unsurprising, it’s one of only a handful of good prime exclusives.

Dawn of War 3 was absolutely ruined by them trying to make it an eSports. I find most RTS doesn’t give that same feel we got when WC3 first came out or later on when Company of Heroes was released. They were solid games that brought something new to the genre.

That’s nice. Maybe one day they’ll make a Dawn of War III.

Oh damn, I did not know about the allegations of sexual assault. Definitely makes sense companies now backing away from working with him.

I thought the first season was alright, had some good moments and an interesting premise. I’m not surprised it was cancelled however.

I see new content every day, and that is after blocking a lot of instances that aren’t relevant to my taste. I don’t think this place is dead, it just needs more of those 48k to contribute.

Just tested and got the exact same

Can confirm Iceland still do the official sausage rolls. Had one for lunch. Still can’t get them to cook right in the air fryer, and feel like it’s a waste putting the oven on for a single sausage roll.

Trent and Atticus Ross have been doing lots of great soundtracks for shows and movies. I feel they are just using the NIN name for impact, but ultimately it’ll still be those two doing the soundtrack.

I really enjoyed the new ones, the gladiators are all pretty great except viper, he’s trying to match wolf’s persona but falling flat. Oh and they need to replace the son presenter for someone entertaining

What’s the most common type of owl in the UK?

The Teat-owl

I’m surprised there are zero changes to Picto! The quantity of potency changes to Monk gives me the impression they don’t know what they are doing with it

I saw this post yesterday, and then today on my way to the train station cars were queueing at a traffic light with 2 lanes. One lane cars couldn’t get into because another cars poor positioning, but a range rover just mounted the curb and bombed it around loads of cars. I guess that counts as off-road.

Thanks for the nightmares

Trying to get things lined up for the Dawntrail expansion for Final Fantasy XIV next week. When first announced I wasn’t very excited, but as it gets closer I’m looking forward to it more and more.

Also dispensing libertea in Helldivers 2

Thanks for this!

After having used Boost for Reddit for so long I was happy to cough up a bit of money to get Boost for Lemmy to not have any ads. Jerboa was great for a free app, but for me the user experience felt free. I haven’t used it since BfL came out so not sure if it’s improved since then.

This is definitely the kind of thing I’m looking for, such a shame it isn’t maintained.

You gotta give
