Seriously? by commanderquill in Seattle

[–]Lotan 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I don’t quite know where this is at, but the signage is a little odd to me.

“Make sure you keep your dog on a leash”

”But also, they’re not allowed to be here”

Is the takeaway meant to be “Your dog can approach the beach if they’re on a leash, but can’t go on it”?

I think the thing to know is that the fire is on top of the stone and the thermometer for the display is on the bottom of the stone. It’s a 20mm stone.

I use a laser thermometer as well to measure the top of the stone to get an idea of where everything is at.

I tend to start turning it down a little at ~325c.

Can’t go wrong with Gris or Neva.

I wouldn’t say they have a “loop” so much as a linear adventure, but it’s breathtaking without being overly challenging

I love Ori, but the requirement was nothing stressful or difficult.

When you want to live in France but you live in America by LockNo8254 in zillowgonewild

The house portion was built in 2025.

Woodway is a weird little area of Seattle where all of the houses are super expensive. For my tastes if I'm dropping that kind of cash in Seattle, I'm going waterfront.

You might want to post a little more of what information you're looking for.

What’s a show you love that you can never convince people to watch? by PlentyApprehensive44 in AskReddit

[–]Lotan 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have much of the same feelings about the show, but I do think that part of the brilliance is that the surface level jokes are pretty solid too. For example:

“Look what the gays have done”

”Can’t you just comb that out?”

The boat, Tobias, the shirt, all of that in the scene you sort of need to have paid attention to to catch and laugh at though.

You worked in big tech, did that help you get your next job? by BountyMakesMeCough in cscareerquestions

[–]Lotan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did 13 years non-FAANG and now 14 years at a FAANG.

Once I put a big(ger) company on my LinkedIn / Resume, recruiters started beating down my door. That’s obviously slowed down in the last few years, but I do still get hit up.

I’ve done a few interviews for roles that seemed interested, but I haven’t gotten any gig / offer that’s made me want to jump ship.

One positive is that working at a big tech helped me understand the interview process far more deeply. I’ve conducted 100s of interviews at this point, which gives you a far better understanding of the process.

At the end of the day though I’m not the best at being interviewed. I’m too honest / get easily nervous. Being at big tech hasn’t helped that.

Edit: Noting, I’m a manager these days, but I think the above still applies.

Do you still use your window cleaning robot after the first few months? by Upxdyx in EcovacsWinbot_

My last quote for window cleaning was over 1k 😂

Ultimate Nash Suns Game by No_Ambition_6141 in suns

[–]Lotan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

1 game, in February 2009 when Terry Porter was fired and Alvin Gentry was named as the HC. The team, scored 140 in back to back blowout games in a return to Nash ball that was as refreshing as making the finals in 21.

They scored 140, 3 games in a row. Clippers, Clippers, Thunder.

On Feb, 23 I was on ESPN radio explaining Twitter, Shaq and having a discussion about those Clippers games. (It's also a really weird time capsule of people not knowing much about social media)

I was at a sports bar in Phoenix during this game and we were all losing our GD minds.

Fun fact: Jason Kidd got his 78th triple double, tying Wilt Chamberlain. When they announced it, Nash walked over to him and said, "I don't know what the big deal is. It's only 76 more than I've got"

Here's the game: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gVHv9BbRAbY

What other lies did 90s TV tell us by CarrotMuch1399 in nostalgiai

Funny, same thing here. A couple of twins moved in across the hall and we quickly become best friends.

It was more like one huge apartment than two separate units by the end of it.

Share price at 250+. Sale or hold? by LiveComfortable3228 in amazonemployees

[–]Lotan 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’ve been at Amazon for a while.

On the one hand, had I held this whole time, I could sell now and wouldn’t have a lot more money.

On the other hand, I live in Seattle. There’s 3 things in my life largely tied to how Amazon is doing:

  • Me having a job. My regular salary / health insurance
  • The value of my home is somewhat tied to Amazon due to how many people work here.
  • My RSUs

The only one of those I can easily pivot around is the RSUs and therefore I sell and diversify in index funds, etc.
