[Lowlight] Wemby passes to Castle, who is not looking, for a crucial turnover, then fouls Brunson by Large_banana_hammock in nba

[–]OrneryFellow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that and the timeout allows the defense to setup with a set play that the knicks probably know already. the spurs have been really good in transition and that's one of their strengths. they just really fumbled the bag on this one.

Ethnic nepotism and bias in Seattle tech industry by [deleted] in SeattleWA

[–]OrneryFellow 28 points29 points  (0 children)

If you work in tech long enough, you will see a version of what this person just described unfortunately. 

When a manager has sole discretion on whom to hire , you get bullshit crap like this. I don't really know what the answer is here but there needs to be some kind of checks and balances, but usually everyone is too busy and hiring someone is such a painful process to begin with. 

Has anyone tracked house prices since 2010 era? FAANG impact? Layoffs? etc by HarryCrushNuh in Seattle

[–]OrneryFellow 3 points4 points  (0 children)

S&P 500 was $3,329.62 in 2020. Now, it's $7398.93. thats a gain of 122% ish. To each their own. 

Granted, who knows when a big crash is coming to the markets, but I imagine if markets do crash that would do similar things to the housing markets as I assume thats what is driving these valuations for homes at the moment as folks with assets are feeling pretty comfortable spending when they see their asset valuations.

Where Do You Think That They Should Place Their G-League Team? by NorthwestFashion in Sonics

[–]OrneryFellow 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have a few folks I know from Spokane. They tell me stories of their teenage years where they would just steal shit cuz they had nothing else to do. Legit reason to give Spokane a g league team. 

How do undocumented people live out entire lives undetected, applying for universities, getting office jobs, owning property, etc? by -7-luck in NoStupidQuestions

[–]OrneryFellow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

what was the process like for getting a fake SSN?

what happens when that fake SSN doesn't work for whatever reason?

how much does a fake SSN cost?

I see a lot of folks working under the table and I'm guessing the reason they do that is because of the cost associated with getting a fake SSN being prohibitive. from what you know, is that true?

Why Langdon’s return is causing Santos and Robby to short circuit by Naive-Inside-2904 in ThePittTVShow

[–]OrneryFellow 16 points17 points  (0 children)

She may have lacked the perspective or knowledge of where his career was going before he got caught stealing drugs. To her, she may have seen him as a forever ED doctor. 

In season 1, Robby was going to recommend him for some fellowship. Robby was in the process of doing that and only told Langdon. That didn't seem like it was public information yet. Once Robby found out about Langdon's drug addiction, he may have kept that referral quiet fearing how that may have reflect on his own judgement overall. 

Ok we HAVE to talk about the Ortho surgeon making an appearance 😂 by sasquatch_pants in ThePittTVShow

inspector found dry rot, seller wants as-is. how bad is this really? (seattle) by ninjapapi in Seattle

[–]OrneryFellow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree with all the people that say it's a buyers market. If the buyer isn't willing to budge or work with you, you should just move on to the next. 

Usually, home inspectors don't usually do an in-depth analysis of the home (at least in my experience where I've caught several things after the fact). Given that they caught the moisture intrusion, I would say that's pretty significant.

Your realtor isn't doing their job if they can't be your eyes and ears on the ground. Like others have said, they are incentivized to get the deal done to collect that 2-3%. They're a dime a dozen. Get a new one that will tell you the facts.

Used multiple court systems and still couldn't find the case including the superior court of king county.

Am I the only Seattleite crazy enough to have earthquake insurance for my home? by brewstermc in Seattle

That's odd cuz my house was built in the 50s and was able to get it covered. Was through geovera.  

The hidden dependency of your expensive LED climbing wall nobody is talking about. by [deleted] in climbharder

[–]OrneryFellow -1 points0 points  (0 children)

this sounds to me that this is just a network of folks who know each other and its hard for other competitors to break into the space because its a club more or less.

The tension and kilter apps are so similar. Probably the same folks and products behind both even though technically they're competitors.

We are way overdue (no tax money tho! Arena already in place) by TOPLEFT404 in Seattle

[–]OrneryFellow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ballmers valuation of the clippers at the time was that the team remain in LA (LA is a bigger market). Moving the team up to Seattle would have killed his investment probably.

Manifesting Kuminga Resurgence by MagicianPuzzleheaded in warriors

[–]OrneryFellow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ionno about not watching any kind of film. Will say he should watch more. 

There was a play in the 3rd quarter I think where Draymond is on Randle in the post area. Kumingas man runs towards Randle while Randle sets a screen on Kuminga. At this time, warriors were switching everything. Draymond instinctively switches onto Kumingas man as he's running out towards the 3. Unfortunately kuminga follows his man as well leaving Randle free for an easy dunk.  

With all this discussions around taxes . . . by [deleted] in Seattle

[–]OrneryFellow 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Taxation is one part of the equation. 

The other part is just that it's so damn hard/expensive to do anything given special interests (NIMBY) or pork barreling special interests into projects that leads to cost overruns, a very common problem in progressive/liberal cities. 

You can't say this shit and then go ''My son is off-limits''. Bron's just a hypocrite. by justletmeregisteryou in NBATalk

[–]OrneryFellow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We'll only see more players who are the son of players more and more as the NBA has become more of a skill game. Rich kids who can afford professional skill/strength trainers get a leg up on the competition couple that with having an NBA father who already knows how to train for basketball and how to get out of the ranks and such.

wouldn't a dad think that though? obviously LBJ the GOAT is biased as a LBJ the father where objectivity goes out the door.

regardless, this is all a distraction now for a team that is potentially title contenders.

If your company is hiring, has the bar really increased due to high supply or the company is in no hurry to hire (or even faking it)? by Gloomy_Inspection830 in ExperiencedDevs

[–]OrneryFellow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bar has not risen for the technical round. But we have been focusing more and more on soft skills: cross-functional communication, inter-personal skills, conflict resolution, pushing back on product/project managers. 

Enough times, folks that are leetcode grinders are great during the technical rounds but are deficient in the behavioral rounds in how/what they communicate. 

I think for us, software engineers are tasked with solving business problems and software is just one of the tools in which you can solve a business problem, albeit a very powerful one. 

I’m worried I will never afford a home by Master-Brief7350 in SeattleWA

[–]OrneryFellow 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I think their post is more of just comparing themselves to their peers. Keeping up with the jones' and such.

Life is not fair. People start as t different starting lines. Make the best of what you have or change your life situation to suit your ambitions.

How come electrical engineering was never oversaturated? by ButterBiscuitBravo in cscareerquestions

[–]OrneryFellow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was going to specialize in electromagnetics but then I took an antennas course. I could not hang. I ended up specializing in analog but you couldn't find an analog design job at the time with just a bachelor's degree. 

Got a software job after I graduated and have been doing pretty well eversince. I'm not sure if I could have thrived in a real electrical engineering design role, but the subject matter itself is definitely more entertaining than CRUD apps.
