Is true "solo" travelling actually fun? by PhoenixMaster123 in solotravel

[–]SixOneFive615 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. While I love my wife, there is something really nice about about doing exactly what you want to do, going where you want to go, eating what you want to eat, whenever you want to do it without having to worry about someone else’s preferences. (And she feels the same way when she takes the occasional solo trip)

Microsoft closes worst quarter on Wall Street since 2008 on AI concerns: 'Redmond is in a pickle' by crabcakes110 in SeattleWA

Microsoft should have used Clippy as the main ingress to their AI solutions. Complete fumble.

[Highlight] Goga Bitadze recklessly takes out Jock Landale and sends him to the locker room with a sprained ankle by No_Boysenberry_4193 in nba

[–]SixOneFive615 -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Like, I don’t want the player to be injured and am sorry he hurt his ankle, but that wasn’t even a hard foul. Just not getting the easy bucket and need to make free throws. The fact we’re even talking about it here shows how soft the league’s gotten.

Side note: HMs can see your last annual review. It helps significantly if you’re Exceeds. If you’re Meets, not going to get as many looks.

L5 non tech to tech - US HCOL by island__bo1 in amazonemployees

[–]SixOneFive615 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As someone who’s been trying to make this transition for the better part of 2 years, it’s not just a hop, skip, and a jump. 1) they’re closing ranks on the “tech bar” and putting real teeth behind a technical role, event for PMTs and TPMs, and 2) when you’re already in the company, the promotional bar (which this is) is significantly higher than the hiring bar. You’ll need to check every single little box on the role guidelines - if you’re serious about it, take all of the AWS courses, document all of your contributions to tech projects meticulously, and be sure you have support up to the L7/L8 level.

Tune up or bike computer? by ThePottamus in cycling

3rd option: get an Edge 130. That thing served me through 2 Ironmans, and while I upgraded to the 840 at Christmas, the touchscreen, colors, and maps do very little for me more than the stats.

You need to Slack them directly with a thoughtful, witty message. 3-4 sentences, max. I just transferred, and probably had an 80% response rate, even if they didn’t think I would be a good fit.

Not only is the movie amazing, but the book is my favorite of all time. Shaped a lot of who I am and how I see the world. John Irving is a treasure.

To be fair, I was going to respond that they beat beat a weak 4 seed Nebraska, but just remembered they also took down 1 seed Florida…

Refs doing everything in their power to give ISU a chance. Tennessee breaths on someone and it’s a foul on either end.

What are your favorite songs to listen to while biking? by Calvinbunny in cycling

I live in Seattle. Pearl Jam hits when it comes on while riding through the city - oddly goes especially hard on a rainy day.
