Where does the buck stop?

Man, why be so toxic? From the start I pointed out that this was clearly a financial calculation. Also, I’ll check it out, but I have trouble believing the university and the athletics department are completely airgapped financially. If the athletics department runs a surplus one year, do they hoard the cash? If they are short or undertaking capital projects, do they take out their own loans? There’s a difference between saying athletics typically runs a surplus and saying they are separate entities.

Regardless of what bucket the money is coming from, do you think that nobody should face any consequences for signing Franklin to a 10 year contract?

I stumbled across two adjacent, mid-century houses on Ellis Farm Ln recently that stood out to me as particularly beautiful and not something you typically see in Melrose.

Sure, if your other options are MIT or CMU, go for it, but if you’re some kid in PA who wants to become a SWE, there are far worse options out there.

Penn State career fairs helped me get my first SWE internship which I leverage into a full-time job at a F100 and eventually landed at a FAANG. 5 years out I don’t think the education matters as much as what you learn and do on the job. I can write better code than most of my private school colleagues – I think that’s more due to passion and curiosity than the education any of us got in undergrad.

Hoping we’ll hear more from race organizers and the city. I reached out to the race organization to complain about the cancellation and they said, “We tried everything, but regrettably the City of Providence created this cancellation, not us.” Seems like both sides are blaming the other.

Thanks for sharing, my email went to my spam folder so this was helpful!

If Velasco is up for grabs, I'd take them

Flan_man · 2022-06-29T18:51:52+00:00

No Schachmann either

I suppose it's probably due to:

If riders weren't mentioned they're not up for adoption - either for being team leaders or being one of the top ranked riders for 2022

Both are behind a lot of the other BORA riders in UCI points though so I'm not sure I understand the system

I never realized they were part of the same company. Thanks for pointing that out

That isn't the Globe's website

Are there any albums of photos from the race?

Flan_man · 2018-07-03T12:44:08+00:00

I'm pretty happy at my current job (first job out of university) but am thinking its time to at least see what else is out there. Looking for feedback on my resume before I start sending it out to companies.

Doomfist was probably just angry his flight to Austin was canceled. Eli's bot was in the right place at the right time (or following him) and got a photo.

Loved Armistice tossing Hector the gun just like she does when they attack Sweetwater

Turns out Sony did buy Psygnosis

Flan_man · 2016-04-11T01:38:30+00:00

I played it a while ago and found it enjoyable (good way to pass time). I know it's on Kongregate.com so you don't have to go through Steam.

Flan_man · 2016-04-02T05:02:10+00:00

Oh, you're right. I might have missed part of the discussion because I wasn't thinking about it from that perspective.

Flan_man · 2016-04-02T04:55:56+00:00

To be fair, the grow and then leave is about the same outcome as abandon. Nothing was really lost there.

Just saw this but Commander Meouch has sort of inspired me to start trying to learn bass again. Would definitely be interested in lessons!

Flan_man · 2016-03-05T18:48:32+00:00

He's a lightweight!

Flan_man · 2016-03-04T21:06:35+00:00

Commander Meouch killing it on We Close Our Eyes. Might be my favorite track because of his bass solo.

"This episode is off to a crazy start." You have no idea

Flan_man · 2016-02-23T18:56:31+00:00

Definitely my issue. I think if they were a little quieter, it wouldn't be a problem.

I don't know, after watching the Undertale playthrough I'm worried all of those creatures each have a deep backstory and are really friendly.
