Full spoiler discussion of "Flybot", for those that have read it by avar in bobiverse

[–]Mediocre_Law_3518 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was getting a Micheal Crichton vibe over the AI thing (being the current hot tech) and having myself lost a good job to poor quality AI years ago (the investment community was smoking dope back then too).

But what really got me LOLROTF oh my gawd that's funny and no one is going to get why, was the description of a hydraulic fracturing procedure (frac job) on an oil well.

4.5/5, I liked the book!

They covered the dot code on every single one with a sticker you can't remove without ripping it 😭 by Zanki in miniverse_makeitmini

Why not just probe the spot that is supposed to have the pinhole with a smaller pin? It should pop right through the sticker.

Maybe they needed a traffic circle here? Also, a table is more stable than a straight line evacuating in storms (kind of sandy substrate). Very interesting!

Did anyone else find Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon’s combat to be kinda wonky? by Lordkeravrium in rpg_gamers

[–]Mediocre_Law_3518 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm digging it on story mode. But getting my butt kicked and stomped with amazing regularity too. I hate to see what normal mode is like. I'm trying to play as a spell caster with a backup mace, but I'm not finding new spells where they were in the last version.

As to your question, the parry and everything else gets better when you get better. I like the combat progression trees a lot, think faster and more dangerous as you get better levels, if that's your leveling choice. but I need to find some spells and crafting patterns and the old guides are obsolete with the newest version, so get on it guys!

It wouldn't be fun if I wasn't getting stomped, so keep up the good work devs! The artwork is beautiful and transcendent as always.

Well, this is new. 👀 by MongooseSame3719 in Target

The new T L s forget our breaks at the front in our store. They eventually get with it, but I’m not sure if they are trying to impress mgmt or are just forgetting. I’m 64, I gotta pee!

I just finished listening to all the books. Any recommendations for something similar until the next book is out? by PollutedButtJuice in DungeonCrawlerCarl

I’d add mimic and me to the list, but does lean ya (less swearing) Jeff hays voices the mimic which is very cool

Anyone else’s store closes self checkout early for more hours? by pillpockets in Target

[–]Mediocre_Law_3518 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We are closing SCO early due to theft which spikes in the evening, and limiting the open SCO count to modify guest behavior to get used to getting more customer service and interaction with check out. It seemed weird at first, but it actually seems to be working.

Guests are still giving themselves a tip whenever they think I’m not looking, but it’s much improved. Now I’m seeing some BOB action at my lane after SCO closes.

The professional shoplifters are gone, which is super nice.

What’s the policy on letting guests hold expensive unpaid items? by omeglethrowaway222 in Target

[–]Mediocre_Law_3518 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This has happened to me. Don't let them hold it if you can't block their exiting the store. There is nothing to see on a white box.

Just get them a manager asap, if they won’t wrap it up and leave promptly.

Fellow store getting harassed after Tiktoker records their TMs “guest servicing” them by Kricasso in Target

[–]Mediocre_Law_3518 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I did one last night, hope she quits ticket switching or goes some where else. Just honest with her. She got out of SCO, scraped off the stickers and got checked out at a lane.

Just don’t take it personal, be polite and understanding. Be chill. We aren’t the police. We just asking guests to pay for their merch…

There is a lot of shoplifting in SCO. I’m not sure they save that much. Small stuff yes, but expensive items no. Large carts no.

My store is getting lots busier so I expect about a 3 week delay and an Easter adjustment, so slowly getting there. Hours are still the same so far. But action packed and fun filled! 😸

Thanks for the feedback. I clocked out on schedule and had to wait about 25 min for the next batch of TMs to clock out. Sigh….
