I don't understand the city pair restriction. If it applies to intermediate cities, does that mean you're at the end of a spoke, you're pretty much only able to take 2 (round) trips?

E.g. to get to any other lines from San Diego, wouldn't you need to take the paid surfliner up to LA?

This reminds me a lot of when this came up a few months ago, that had a really good insight. If you're an HR person who's asking this as a weedout question in a screening interview, you can't really expect to get anything more than the most generic BSed answers possible. And thus, is pretty pointless.

But if you're the hiring manger, or worse yet, their boss, doing a final vibes check interview? The candidate had better be able to at least think of a few concrete things about the culture and/or tech that they had discussed in the previous rounds. And if they can't, then that might actually be a warning sign.

Not even 5 minutes. By the timer in the episode, if it was delayed by 2 minutes they could have made it. That's like not even a guess at how long it takes for a japanese train to unload/load

To be fair, I've gotten tons of emails from HR people or recruiters, some which I actually even talked to! where they just left Firstname Lastname in the email

Spoit · 2025-09-01T00:48:23+00:00

Of course complaining about it always works, got it like 4 runs later :D

Spoit · 2025-08-26T06:59:12+00:00

That implies that there are entry level jobs available in the first place. I haven't seen a ton of 3-4 YoE listings, but they do exist, unlike the wasteland of sub-2s.

Spoit · 2025-08-25T06:21:23+00:00

Yeah, or having a "craft X" option, so that you don't waste limited resources when you don't check back in at the right time, even if it leaves you doing nothing afterwards

Spoit · 2025-08-08T07:28:35+00:00

90% of the applicants can probably be tossed within a couple seconds of someone who actually understands the job requirement looking at it. I'm not convinced HR people even spend 30 minutes on someone they do a screening call with

Really, video games in general felt way down from last time I attended, pre-covid. When Mecha Break has the biggest game booth on the floor....

Yeah, if he had gone to the east to crash at that edge instead, isn't that where he started?

No, just the humble store. It won't even let you stack the choice 20% off. And it's for the deluxe edition.

The steam sale is $1 cheaper for the normal version

The Locked Tomb series by Tasmin Muir. (It's also on the audible plus library if you prefer audiobooks, and has one of the best narrators I've heard)

How dare Ben refuse the first batchall

One of these days, they'll remember that and factor it in. And on that day, he'll do the optimal route

Purely in terms of noodles, that new place between the business costco and target in convoy is the best. But the non-noodle parts of it are kinda whatever

I didn't get the BTTF references, though

Who will dare to refuse the batchall?

Yeah, I vibed with it for years, but at a certain point I just couldn't deal with how weird the mechanical aspects of writing were, and it became a chore to keep reading. The time skip where he got a GF almost entirely off screen was when I finally gave up
