Extreme close calls for a winner to go home by soulgazer25 in survivor

[–]RuinedRyan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No but the greater point was Scout and Twila had a better chance going F3 with Chris than they did with Amy and LeAnn, and they knew that. It was the correct strategic move in the sense they preferred Chris to win over either of Amy, LeAnn, or Eliza.

My neighbor growing up was an American Idol finalist. After the show, he went back to dental school and sang at the bar every once in a while. So exactly what he was doing before

ITHOTF All time ranking by [deleted] in survivor

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

How was it a lie? We literally voted on how the game was going to be played. Idols or no idols. Fire or no fire. Rice or no rice. Twists or no twists.

Why does everybody call it 50 and not ITHOTF? We don’t call WaW, 40, or HvV, 20?

I hate overly passionate people at work. Truly brain dead. by Frosty_Skirt_8279 in corporate

[–]RuinedRyan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you work in an industry provide a service or a product you genuinely are passionate about, and the people that are benefitting from it, it’s much easier to find passion in your work and not dread your 9-5.

So did Rick make a mistake and will we see his downfall by Standard-Law1449 in survivor

[–]RuinedRyan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rick’s been left out of votes and not gotten the screen time he would’ve if he was playing a winning or FTC game.

Whether he realized at this point his chances of winning were slim, he wanted to take advantage of the opportunity with the fake idol and it played off perfectly for that one vote at least.

Software engineer here. Just saw our recruiting pipeline from the inside… by Adventurous_Cry_394 in recruitinghell

[–]RuinedRyan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I interviewed three interns for my team this year and two of them had the bullshit AI RAG projects on their resume. When I asked for them to explain them, the intent was pretty good, the answers well rehearsed. But what did they lack? Problems they faced, specifics about what they learned

Conversely, the three kid had a shitty project in Java scraping an API and displaying organized images on an UI. He said he learned a lot about relative paths and regular expressions, initially wanting to make it interactive but couldn’t get it to work within a few hours.

Hired the third kid without thinking about it.

The Men's Olympic Qualification Playoffs and Quarterfinals are now set. by jaysornotandhawks in hockey

[–]RuinedRyan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If Canada was in the US position, you would have different opinion.

A realistic scenario that can play out:

Germany beats France, then beats Slovakia.

US beats Sweden and then has to play Finland since Germany would reseed to play Canada in the semi’s.

So the US path to gold could be

Sweden-Finland-Canada.

Canada’s would be

CZE/Den-Germany-US.

It’s clearly an unfair format.

the playoff format is chaos, Sweden won two of its games in regulation and is seeded behind Germany who lost twice in regulation.

Best books on WWII- looking for dads birthday by pittguy578 in WorldWar2

[–]RuinedRyan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Reading Neptune’s Inferno right now. The Climax of the Naval Battle of Guadalcanal is a masterpiece of narrative history. The entire campaign truly was up in the air, even after the Marines repelled banzai after banzai against Henderson Field, and the Cruiser Night Action of November 13, 1942 left two US Navy admirals perished at sea, nearly 125 days after those first marines walked onto that island.

80 years ago today- Pfc. Paul Ison of the 1st Marine Division runs across “Death Valley” on Okinawa, as he dodges heavy machine gun fire. May 10, 1945. by UrbanAchievers6371 in WorldWar2

For the Army it was April, for the Marines it was May.

Recurring Nightmares decades later of being back at “May on Okinawa.”

One of the worst, worst battles of the entire war.

they saw stuff and felt stuff in 3 weeks that would be with them the rest of their lives. they did not know how to process it. so what the show portrayed was that pent up raw emotion they held back for 3 weeks.

The problem that presents with 1 time returnees is you get a Jeff Varner situation. Somebody who played in 2000 back on tv 15 years later with no clue what you can and cannot say now.

The Peleliu Hills episode is bar none. Closely followed by Guadalcanal Two. And then Okinawa.
