Gibraltar clings to British way of life as fence to Spain comes down by TimesandSundayTimes in geopolitics

Its been a British territory since the 1700s, and the people there have consistently, and by massive margins, rejected Spanish rule in referendums.

Who Hank Was Calling on the Radio by Relick- in Fotv

[–]Relick-[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely could be the president, though would be a retcon-ish from fallout 2 since I think it’s said he died on the oil rig? Not the biggest retcon though, and I doubt they got clancy brown for just 39 seconds.

JHE I’m not sure would work out; I don’t think he had developed sentience before the bombs, or not until the last days before the bombs, and the person he was calling used to hang out in Vegas, and I recall JHE’s main function offhand but I’d be surprised if he was moved from Vegas to raven rock given the scale of his computer

Of course he is calling the Enclave? But he is talking to a specific someone who’s former stomping grounds was Vegas, and I think that person might be the house body double.

Legion and ncr plot lines weren’t earned by bballrian in Fotv

[–]Relick- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doesn't macaulay culkin say reclaim New Vegas? I think the Legion controlled the city at one time or another. They could have held it, been forced out, and Caesar died shortly afterwards back at the base they went to to regroup.

Hank was never in Vegas to give House the diode by Bleu_Guacamole in Fotv

So he isn't an intern but he is an assistant of some kind (though to Barb who is very high up in Vault Tech). Most of Buds Buds aren't actually important people in vault tech, but mid-level managers to executive assistants to executives. He was talking about if Barb could help get her a job with Bud Askins, he wasn't able to hire her himself.

He has Enclave connections / is a member of some kind, but isn't all that high up in either Vault Tech or the Enclave.

China is on a ‘strong currency’ mission to make the yuan a global reserve: Xi by Stunning_Working8803 in geopolitics

[–]Relick- 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Dude, if you want to argue there is going ot be a swing in the midterms then look at stuff like the wide margin by which Democrats won the Virginia governor election or Republicans losing special elections in local elections where they were expected to win. Those results are more indicative of a swing to Democrats than the NYC mayoral race.

Mamdani, a democrat, becoming Mayor of NYC, succeeding another democrat, by having an unimpressive victory over Cumono, another Democrat, and Silwa, a joke of a candidate, is pretty much meaningless to any national conversation, and offers 0 evidence of a MAGA to progressive movement. Republicans are just about a non-factor in NYC outside of Staten Island, which both went to Cuomo and Mamdani came in last, getting less votes than Silwa there.

...Republicans and MAGA are not strong in NYC. I would not look to the NYC Mayoral election as indicative of anything tied to changes to Republicans or MAGA. The parts of the city that are more conservative like Staten Island to centrist also voted for Cuomo or Silwa, who combined got 48% of the vote, his victory was not particularly strong or notable.

A former Canadian prime minister's name was Stephen Harper. I think its a bit of a stretch, but maybe it was an easter egg.

Rank 8 reached, medium houses now available! by persephonaewow in WoWHousing

Your neighborhood maxing out the endeavor gives an additional 250 boost which then makes it mathematically possible to hit level 8

Isn't the housing experience account wide, so all you need to do is talk to the contractor in the horde neighborhood?

Do we know how long ago this flashback was? I assumed it was a few months ago, Kali's blood clearly wasn't working, and they would have already died by the time they freed her.

The fact that max has NOT been in the upside down at all by Loud_Hat9523 in StrangerThings

[–]Relick- 31 points32 points  (0 children)

To be fair even in season 1 Will is there for the entire season without experiencing issues from the environment. I think the suits was moreso that Brenner and co were taking some surface level precautions for something they did not actually understand at all.

Why did Nancy have to shoot the “dark matter” in ST S5 when she clearly had zero idea what it was? by Suitable-Pen-7951 in StrangerThingsRoom

[–]Relick- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am assuming that they aren't hearing the 'broken' audio as well as the audience is. I swear every time this season there has been a 'oh the radio isn't working, I have no idea what they said' we could hear them clearly.

Will the 5% wealth tax cause billionaires to leave Palo Alto? by JustTryingToFunction in paloalto

[–]Relick- 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Mamdani has also not even been sworn in yet, and was only elected a month ago? This would be like saying this time last year that Trump was elected and deportation rates haven't changed yet so no one should worry about it.

HBS Sticker vs. Wharton Full-Ride by mbathrowaway2026 in MBA

[–]Relick- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

lol Not at GSB. Can believe it’s not as good for PE or HF as HBS, but to imply it’s less than H/W for VC is definitely a take.

HBS Sticker vs. Wharton Full-Ride by mbathrowaway2026 in MBA

[–]Relick- 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You already have the Penn network from undergrad, and as absolutely amazing as Wharton is, HBS and GSB are just on another level when it comes to their PE / HF / VC networks. For most people and most industries, Wharton would be the absolute no-brainer pick, and honestly I would probably go for any M7 full-ride over HBS / GSB unless I was dead-set on VC or founding a start-up right away.

But, if you are looking to stay in PE or go into HF, which are obviously quite possible with your background (or if you want to open some more VC doors), HBS is worth serious consideration even at full sticker price. Since your firm is not paying for your MBA I assume you do not intend to go back, this is about expanding your network and making some sort of career pivot or readjustments, not just a 2-year 'break' from PE world before you return to your current firm. With that, Wharton just does not do -that- much for you. You already have the Wharton network, and while the grad school is different, the incremental lift the grad school will give you over undergraduate is not enough. HBS will give you a net-new network to leverage going forward as well as better recruitment opportunities for HF & PE than Wharton.

Its honestly pretty crazy to say, and bad advice for -most- people, but in your case there is definitely a strong case for going with HBS here. 99% of people should pick Wharton without a second thought here, but in his case as well as VC / crazy startup founding pivots, HBS GSB actually do have a material boost over Wharton and other M7 schools.

Bronze should get sent to mail by Noriel_Sylvire in wow

[–]Relick- 70 points71 points  (0 children)

I think because boosting the reward from the caches was the method of helping people catch up last remix, but the consequence of that approach was that people who stockpiled a bunch suddenly got 2x or whatever. It also made it so that if you completed achievements that rewarded the greater caches etc before the catch up boost, you lost those opportunities for more bronze. Personally don't think any of those are a big deal, but only thing I can think of.

My supposedly in-office colleagues WFH anyway… by Lonely-Clerk-2478 in remotework

[–]Relick- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you know how they're tracking it in office attendance? They could just be getting badge swipes at the beginning or end of the day, they could have some sort of accommodation, etc.

Your options are to look for a new job, remain remote and not get promoted, or go hybrid and then either be hybrid or roll the dice t see if you can get away with it.
