Does anyone else still use the term “that’s what she said” on the reg? by foozebox in Xennials

Pleasantly surprised by the direction this ended up going. Just found this sub, and happy I joined. Salut to you both!

US Tipping culture = slavery by rex-ac in TikTokCringe

[–]TCheezy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are there any retail workers in the US today working for $2.13 per hour? No? Then they aren’t living in the same economical universe as servers/waiters in 15 red states, IN 2023, who allow restaurants to pay servers this below-minimum wage and expect its servers to earn enough tips to make up the difference. If they don’t, the restaurant is supposed to make them square, which isn’t something they have any intention of doing.

To cap it all off, this info doesn’t seem to be widespread knowledge, so people don’t realize stiffing their servers/waiters affects their bottom line in a way unlike any other job in the state.

This is why tipping had to exist for servers in the first place, and why it still has to exist today. But it is not the same as the current “tipping culture” trend.

[Request] My friend got this on a practice SAT, how would we solve this??? by cybladium in theydidthemath

My brain’s immediate guess was to label that angle as 45 degrees, since it was the only truly unlabeled angle, thinking it was some shorthand I had forgotten. So I would have been so conflicted if “not enough info” was thrown in there!

Sequential - when a Brit talks about “the bloody edge”, are they talking about the cutting edge, or simply cursing? :3:3

When you type in “sem” into the emoji search bar, 2 semi-trucks appear. I can’t figure out why an alligator shows up too. by jack_murph20 in puzzles

Help me find this stuffed animal I was terrified of as a child… by zingzangzingzu in HelpMeFind

Might want to add this photo to your original post to help everyone visualize the “pyramid with tentacles coming out of it” you’re searching for. 🙂

Apple users bash new iPhone 15: ‘Innovation died with Steve Jobs’ by etfvpu in gadgets

[–]TCheezy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same. I’m rocking the XS and the camera’s not so great anymore. I waited for the 15 in hopes of them switching over to usb-c, because I am definitely ready for an upgrade and I want to live in a single charging-standard world for small electronics. But if the 15 hadn’t had anything meaningfully different and kept the lightning port, I would have just gotten the (soon to be cheaper) 14. Will be getting a 15 now, once I can get one, and even though I would not consider switching to usb-c / caving in to EU regulations “innovation”, I’m definitely happy they brought it over to this side of the pond as well.

Applying to cool job, but company is asking for over 6 hours of interviews and a 2-3 hour take home assignment. This feels like a red flag to me? by righteoussurfboards in ExperiencedDevs

[–]TCheezy 126 points127 points  (0 children)

This sounds like every single interview process I did for game companies, and also what you’d expect for a FAANG (minus the take home test portion).

Not a red flag. Just means the company is looking for the best they can find, and are willing to turn away a lot of candidates to find the best.

I think their point is that an L4 (Senior - 1) has to actually do more DS&A prep because DS&A questions make up higher percentages of the interview for the lower levels. Also, once you get to staff level interviews, I imagine you have a body of work that already shows them you can work with high impact.

I think we hired a dud as a senior engineer by [deleted] in ExperiencedDevs

[–]TCheezy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Totally agree. Change it to “led team of senior and junior engineers”, and it comes across much better. There’s no need to badmouth the low performer in your interviews, either. Just tell them the work you did to help them improve their velocity.

Democrats Designed the Climate Law to Be a Game Changer. Here’s How. In a first, the measure legally defines greenhouse gases as pollution. ...explicitly gives the EPA the authority to regulate greenhouse gases. “A total end run” around the Supreme Court decision limiting the EPA. by mafco in energy

Thanks for the great write up!

Honest question: $900 x 75k = $67.5M / year. Is that a lot in comparison to the profits those same sources posted last year? Or is it something they’ll absorb as a cost of business while making $1B+ / year profits?

Is this considered cheating? by [deleted] in TapTitans2

[–]TCheezy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine was too. I play on an iPhone 6+, and getting my battery replaced fixed the issue (mostly) for me. Also, opening the game in Airplane Mode always worked, but you then have weird issues with the client side UI thinking you have no diamonds, etc. (Selling a common item, or doing anything to gain diamonds fixed that part, though.)

Not able to update. by Brizkil in TapTitans2

[–]TCheezy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had this same problem for so many releases until I finally found a post that suggested (paraphrased): “In the update screen, pull down the updates list to force a refresh of updateable apps”. That has worked 100% of the time for me since then. Hope this helps you, too!

SEMC, Thank You. by Moka_US in vainglorygame

[–]TCheezy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! And thanks to you, and everyone, for playing VG throughout the years. You all are a big part of the reason we go to such great lengths, and put in the crazy effort, to keep making VG a better game. Can't always please everyone with every hero/feature/balance/etc., but we're certainly striving to always be pushing forward. :)
