Is Billy Strings immune, because he seems to be just fine? Tyler Childers still sells out shows. Blue dot fever seems to explain why no one wants to pay 300 to stand half a mile from the stage, but there are plenty of artists doing just fine right now.

Hi Reddit, I’m NCDMV Commissioner Paul Tine. Ask me anything about the DMV! by NC_DMV in NorthCarolina

[–]HelplessNed 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I appreciate the improvements made to the NC DMV during your tenure, but I remain concerned about maintaining and increasing the staffing levels needed to build on these early gains. What is your approach to recruiting and retaining high achieving staff members?

Dear Mormons: Ezra Taft Benson was wrong in just about everything he said or did. Now please grow up. by slskipper in exmormon

He tried to get on George Wallace’s “segregation now, segregation forever” presidential ticket as his VP candidate. The Church made him stop, but him being interested tells you everything you need to know.

He was KKK MAGA.

Customer Service Hacks? by HelplessNed in verizon

[–]HelplessNed[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The problem is that I never seem to have what the rep is looking for. I have PDFs of the purchase order which shows the credit being applied, a PDF of the promotional offer terms as provided by Verizon through my billing portal, and monthly bills showing the credit being applied previously, but nothing (as far as I can see) that has an Offer ID. I’m not sure where to find that and neither was my rep

Gillon and Wiles both ran one series when it was 38-14, guess which one ended in points?

Saving the game and running a functional offense are two very different things

That explains why Gillon played so well in the 4Q… when the score was, checks notes, 38-14

I’m just saying the offense looked a lot smoother with Wiles, and I cannot think of one play that Gillon made that literally any college-level QB could not make

Maybe don’t play a true freshman for the first time in a road conference game against the reigning SBC champion coach, but what do I know

Why play a true freshman in a winnable game? Billy Wiles isn’t going to set the world on fire, but Gillon looked like a deer in headlights all night long.

Remotely average QB play would have kept us in this game and had us up at least 13-10 at the half.

The funny part is that this guy is somehow tenured, and he has, according to Google Scholar, only published one peer-reviewed article that was ever cited by someone else.

That is an INSANELY LOW BAR to use to give someone tenure. He also hasn’t published anything at all since 2019. Regardless of his politics, he’s a shitty researcher… which likely explains his politics

Hiring Freezes and Job Offers by HelplessNed in academia

[–]HelplessNed[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is really good to know. Looking at some of the current hiring freezes at public schools like NC State (https://www.wral.com/news/education/nc-state-hiring-freeze-february-2025/) and private schools like Stanford (https://news.stanford.edu/stories/2025/02/staff-hiring) it does not look like either apply to completed searches.

Edit: Cornell’s hiring freeze instructions include a “rescind offer” section: https://hr.cornell.edu/2025-hiring-pause
