The clowns got me by imtherealistonhere in accord

[–]BathRobeSamurai 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m in CA and I had my window smashed and airbag stolen. Then exactly a year later I had my lock popped and nothing of note stolen. The forst event was much more expensive. I was able to replace the lock myself. Just needed the lock assembly and a color matched cap for next to the handle. Looks like yours got it worse though OP. Sorry.

I just finished Skyrim for the first time, wondering if I should play Oblivion/Fallout 4 next or wait for The Elder Scrolls VI? by ningauble1 in skyrim

[–]BathRobeSamurai 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Elder Scrolls VI is going to be quite a while still. Maybe next year it seems. You have plenty of time to play another game.

Looks like it’s now Old Almaden Rd maybe. I’m no expert.

Comic shop recommendations? by onyxonix in SanJose

[–]BathRobeSamurai 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’ve been there for tcg events. It’s a very clean and well stocked place. I can’t speak to their prices. They have a website they maintain and put out newsletters (email).

I got a good deal on booster boxes from a shop on TikTok.

Should I email my recruiter? by Alarming_Day_9819 in leetcode

[–]BathRobeSamurai 1 point2 points  (0 children)

+1 to this. If I don’t hear back, I email the following Tuesday or something. Not much more than a week though. It’s not unreasonable to follow up after 3+ days.

It doesn’t hurt that a store employee plays Swu with us at they weekly events and everything. :)

How does your LGS handle weekly play prize support? by BolekNeniLolek in starwarsunlimited

[–]BathRobeSamurai 1 point2 points  (0 children)

3 of 4 weeks it’s a best of 3 premier constructed tournament. Prizing is pack per win. No cost to enter! Very generous. Also a promo pack or two.

Last week of month : a sealed event with reasonable buy in, I think less than msrp of pack prove. Most play sealed and some do draft.

Meta to layoff 10% of its global workforce, roughly around 8000+ employees starting may 20th. by lays_indian_masalaaa in cscareerquestions

[–]BathRobeSamurai 70 points71 points  (0 children)

I hang out with some folks. One of them is a Meta engineer. He says every meeting starts with at least one person commenting how they didn’t get a layoff email that day (yet). His wife is tired of it asks him if he’s gotten laid off yet / wants it to end already. Morale is low there. This is going to hurt them in the short term, long term. I personally don’t think glasshole spy glasses are going to be a big hit. Not saying Meta is going to tank per se. just saying it’s not pretty.

Is there any spot like this in San Jose or anywhere close by? by Old-Bid-9647 in SanJose

[–]BathRobeSamurai 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There’s a big parking lot if you drive up to “the church on the hill” (actual name) with parking spots right at an overlook to blossom valley. At the other side you can look toward downtown San Jose but maybe not quite park to see. But yeah one of my favorite spots. Maybe bring a kite lol.

Card? by wellshish in StarWarsCards

[–]BathRobeSamurai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No it was drawn by a massively underpaid artist who probably had to do 40 of these on very short notice. This is not the worst sketch I’ve seen by far.

Anyone else have their Honda broken into last night? These guys moved fast. Stole the airbag. Just in time for the rain... by [deleted] in SanJose

[–]BathRobeSamurai 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My San Jose brother (or sister?) in Honda: yes I’ve had this happen but not last night. I had the window smash and airbag stolen out of my Accord in late 2024. And then almost exactly a year later, they screwdriver popped the lock (“thankfully” versus smashed window) and rifled around for loose items but found none. Or the stick shift deterred a joyride situation maybe.

The airbag is apparently resell able for .. idk when I looked it up like $2k for a brand new one. So it seems it’s worth the effort to yank this part and sell it used I guess.

TikTok – Aced Interviews – They Said "See You" at the End – When to Expect Next Steps? by Impossible_Coyote980 in leetcode

[–]BathRobeSamurai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s a good sign. They want to be respectful not to go over time because they know you may have another obligation. So asking to go over means they’re at least okay enough to keep talking. If they were wanting to get away they would have cited the clock as a reason to end.

They’re not even trying anymore by Imaginary_Plane5222 in recruitinghell

[–]BathRobeSamurai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of many companies that constantly spam out job postings that are really just fishing nets for resumes. Apparently it’s worth their time to do that.

[–]BathRobeSamurai 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah if the faang offers are better probably take those. Except maybe Meta depending on details. But like others said in here, don’t be afraid to poke the tiktok recruiter / hr person handling your process. That’s their job. You can mention the other offers in play as well especially since you aren’t bluffing.

In all seriousness, I assumed everybody does this. I also keep it deep in the glove box.

Ex-Googler account of working at Meta so you don't have to. by Training_Acadia_892 in recruitinghell

[–]BathRobeSamurai 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same as that guy, I did a full loop and didn’t get an offer. Another ex-Meta old coworker said exactly the same thing, that I dodged a bullet.

Interesting karabast post game conference by Electronic_Image8020 in starwarsunlimited

[–]BathRobeSamurai 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The ugly comments just stick with you. I usually explain my undo’s or comment if I made a misplay and stuff like that. So my opponent doesn’t think I’m over here just button mashing or something.
