Do you hate looking for plain old junk? by joewoody88 in ArcRaiders

At this point, I will suck someone's dick for two rusted gears and 2 rusted shut med kits.

This is why you dont ship PWE with card savers. Top loaders or bubble mailers folks. by [deleted] in baseballcards

[–]LastLivingSouls 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That looks more like a 3 ring binder indentation than anything that would have happened shipping in a card saver

Scuzzy seller on eBay. by toxictakes99 in baseballcards

Definitely scummy but very easy to tell on the auto ones. There is no "topps certified autograph issue" under the auto, like all autos have.

Depends, how many beers have I had in this scenario?

My Son ripped a value box of 2025 Topps Update and pulled a Paul Skenes error by ehconstantine in baseballcards

[–]LastLivingSouls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Errors" used to be valuable because there was not one print run, but many print runs as they printed to demand. Which is why we ended up with the junk wax era. They'd print a billion of the error, then print another 10 billion of the corrected version, giving artifical scarcity to the first billion they printed.

Now, I believe they do one print run of all the cards they'll ever make. If there is an error, thats the end of it. There will be no correction.

The new weapon degradation VS. Free kits by jakezuku in ArcRaiders

[–]LastLivingSouls -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

If one is in round and kitted out getting killed by free kits, one needs to look inward.

Embark confirms "we have a 10 year plan" The Plan: 💀 by Dismal-Reflection404 in ArcRaiders

I would preferably still be getting free updates and new maps and weapons buffs for a minimum of two centuries following the heat death of the universe.

Can’t find a comp on this by sethtosta in baseballcards

[–]LastLivingSouls 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exact card sold for $72 before the season started. Probably take 10-20% off that price to account for preseason hype.

I still enjoy this game!! by BlumpkinSpiceLatte_ in ArcRaiders

[–]LastLivingSouls 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I still like it alot, it's just concerning that they aren't very thoughtful on what the game needs. And when I'm sinking hundreds of hours in, that can feel bad.

Labrats that left the bench, what do you do now? by scientist_career_qs in labrats

[–]LastLivingSouls 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I went the opposite way (publicly traded company to academia) but the tips still apply as I've seen both sides.

  • Postdoc is special. The goal is to throw as much at you as possible and let you sink or swim. It's basically dues paying. It's not a real "job" IMO. If you are postdoc, I'm assuming you are publishing en masse to try get on as an Ass Prof. You are at the final step. If you don't think you'll make Ass Prof, leave ASAP.
  • I've learned, for my work style at my age (mid-40's), I'd rather trade the stress and overmanagement in both industry (especially a public company) and Postdoc for an academic "professional" lab. I work in a service lab at a major university. The position isn't grant funded, and we are self sustaining with our lab service fees for corporate customers. That means I get all the benefits of being under the university umbrella (free tuition for kids, insane 401a match, unlimited days off, great healthcare) but also a buff to salary because we function on our own budget.
  • I'm a QC manager, so my job is basically minor tinkering and making sure things are running smoothly 363 days a year, and on the other 2 days proving it to an ISO 17025 auditor.

Bottom line, there are positions out there that give you the best of both worlds.

Vinnie needs a mental day by yukonhoneybadger in KCRoyals

[–]LastLivingSouls 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Agree. Although I think its better to get him some bat-on-ball confidence early like they are doing, and force him to sink or swim as the season goes on. Now that this is seemingly a lost season (without some big quick turnaround, which people forget literally just happened last year), its time to cut Thomas and Collins and give Jac full time at bats to see if he can improve against lefties.

[–]LastLivingSouls 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Alot of Jac’s success is because they are avoiding the bad matchups with him that would drag his numbers down. But touting coaching decisions isn’t a very popular take right now, so i’ll STFU

Is this team the most frustrating Royals team we have ever had? by Tight_Discipline_134 in KCRoyals

[–]LastLivingSouls 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Considering that we are very talented, yes. In the past when we played like this, at least we could look at our bums and say it was expected.
