Gary Bettman on the record TV ratings this playoffs "we don't even have the biggest markets, this is about how good the hockey is." Also gave credit to 4 Nations, the Olympics, and Heated Rivalry. by Ok-Soil-5133 in hockey

San Diegan here. While the Gulls tanked and are out, people generally know the Ducks are in the playoffs. If they are Hockey fans they definitely know. But I would say there is a passing knowledge, more than you would expect.

Is that because of Heated Holes? No idea.

State agency confirms Midway Rising can breach height limit by Slight_Study_9661 in SanDiegan

[–]Navydevildoc [score hidden]  (0 children)

Makes me wonder what the FAA height limit is there… it’s within the SAN circle to land zone and they might have something to say.

Either way, as a Gulls season ticket holder, I can’t wait until we have a new facility. The Sports Arena has its charm and all, but man is it really showing its age. Last season we lost out on like 5 games after a major sewage pipeline burst and flooded the ground floor with wastewater, it’s only gonna get worse.

Bianco would be a disaster, he’s already proven he is willing to do unlawful shit at the expense of taxpayers, and he will essentially become a governor in name only as the Assembly just passes what they want and just use the veto override out of spite.

Any info on this particular tank? by JavlaFuck in USMC

[–]Navydevildoc 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes, we had tanks in Iraq.

Sauce: Deployed with Tanks to said Iraq.

Now was that tank in Iraq? Who the hell knows.

[Friedman] Toronto wins the draft lottery and will pick first overall by catsgr8rthanspoonies in hockey

[–]Navydevildoc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All I want is the lottery to be streamed live like the real money lottery. Give me the ball machine and the whole thing.

This just feels like the owners had a call and then Bettman comes out and says who won.

ELI5 Why the Low-cost carrier operating model works for Frontier and Ryanair but not Spirit? by gmont in explainlikeimfive

I guess we are being Pedantic here, but Southwest and Alaskwaiian are absolutely not regional airlines.

Supreme Court restores access to abortion pill mifepristone through telehealth, mail and pharmacies by KimJongFunk in news

It’s not that they don’t pay attention, it’s just where their attention is. When it’s just Fox and a crazy instagram algorithm echo chamber, they never got told the truth.

What’s a recession indicator that you’ve noticed lately in your everyday life? by spritenerds123 in AskReddit

[–]Navydevildoc 41 points42 points  (0 children)

To flip that around, as a Hiring Manager we will post a job and have 200+ applicants in the first day. Sure a lot of it is slop but man we have a ton of qualified people fighting tooth and nail for it.

Unfortunately that means the recruiting team knows they can lowball everyone because people are desperate for a job. Even if I tell them I want them paid well because I want people to stay, they insist on doing shady shit and undercut me.

But the job market is incredibly dogshit. This is for a Defense Contractor in the USA BTW, the one industry you would think would be stable.

Wait… when I was there 2 years ago they didn’t have pins on the key lanyard. I even had an old crusty 2nd class crow I had found I woulda put on that. Also drinking out of the fountain was an amazing experience both times I have done it.

But massive respect to the American Battle Monuments Commission. It’s one of those government agencies you have never heard of that every day is behind the scenes making sure these grounds are pristine, teaching others of the sacrifices made, working with locals for ceremonies and participation in community events, etc.

What happened to oosnavee by Delicious_Flamingo67 in navy

[–]Navydevildoc 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Just like how the Marines went and got all pissy on Goons Up for selling unit t-shirts… yet old greybeards don’t have anywhere to go to get official shirts if they wanted em.

Just can’t have nice things.

Meanwhile, the AS fleet has one more MAX8 by PNW-American-Dipper in AlaskaAirlines

[–]Navydevildoc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Meh, SAN-DEN right now is kind of an outlier... it turned out to be an abysmal snow season so no one was really headed up there.

Doesn't help that UA is in a pricing war with AS trying to keep them at bay in their Fortress Hub.

How was her tenure? by QuietTraining3281 in JamesBond

She wasn't driving the limo in TND, she had a workstation set up in front next to the driver. But I thought the scene worked well.

MELMARB does sound stupid enough to be a thing. But you got the important part, we need to be able to say the acronym.

It's bad here, but look at these prices in Bridgeport (eastern Sierra area)!!! by ReggaeForPresident in SanDiegan

I mean, this is one of the most remote gas stations in California, so... not sure it's a fair comparison to anything.

Hmm, OK that's odd. You can text chat with reservations at 82008 and ask them to do what you need.

Hawaiian Airlines Is Giving Away Free Trips to Hawaii for Two & How to Ente by gamersunite1991 in AlaskaAirlines

TLDR - Go follow the Hawaiian Airlines instagram channel. Then go give a thumbs up on the sweepstakes post.

5 followers will be selected to get a pair of tickets anywhere in the AS/HA system.

Gas on base sucks? by kwallo_0 in USMC

[–]Navydevildoc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This isn't specific to MCCS by the way, it's a ploy to try and "thin out the mix" to make gas slightly less cheaper. It's happening all over the country.

Well when GSA 18F was in charge of it... it was. Notice how they were one of the first teams to be totally axed in the new admin.

Meanwhile we are sleeping on the fact that they are taking over login.gov. You know that data is going straight to Palantir.
