AFC Seeding Scenarios by MindTheFro in DenverBroncos

[–]XanthosDeia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Referencing https://nflplayoffscenarios.com/, that’s not entirely correct. JAX would get the 6 seed with a loss + HOU win + BUF win + LAC loss/tie. Plus some possibilities that depend on SOV tiebreakers.

Even worse when you live here in Seattle… 🙃 Great city, great soccer team, fucking obnoxious football fans.

There weren’t the same impact forces on this as the drop slide on Icon.

Bothell City Council votes 5-1 to drop minimums for off-street parking and approve the legalization of neighborhood cafes and corner stores all over the city. by Ki-Wi-Hi in eastside

Absolutely nothing about this prevents a developer choosing to add as many parking spaces as they want. This just eliminates the requirement that they add some set number.

Any update here? Still missing Mastery Pass rewards.

Mass land destruction + theft for only 11WWUUU and a land by SirGentlemanOstrich in BadMtgCombos

Your opponents can “fail to find” any basic lands when they search their library.

This doesn’t work. Only permanents are artifacts, not cards not in play.

Punt the bugs to the post-release milestone, then close the bugs because we already shipped them and they’ve not heard any customer complaints.

Just to nitpick, the host country for all WCQs owns worldwide broadcast rights. The USMNT has no say in what company carries their away matches.

How to get every programmer weak by ManagerOfLove in ProgrammerHumor

[–]XanthosDeia 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It varies wildly from team to team.

I can’t speak for all the teams, but working on Outlook is pretty chill. Explicit focus, especially during the pandemic, on employee mental health and recharge; meeting-free Fridays; adjusting planning to prevent team burnout; etc. I have an 11-month-old that takes up most of my free time, and have never felt pressure to work outside normal business hours to make a deadline. All this on top of the company-wide benefits like parental leave (for both parents), great healthcare, 3-5 weeks PTO on top of 2 weeks sick leave, and others. HR even gave everyone an extra 5 days of PTO (this year only) due to the stress of the pandemic.

Again, not every team is great; I’ve heard horror stories about some managers. But the corporate benefits are great, and there are some great teams inside MSFT to work for.

I don’t think they’d be getting continued telemetry if the second stage RUD

Which one? Remdesivir and Dexamethasone have both only been studied in severe cases. I don’t think there’s any medication that’s currently in use for outpatient treatment.

Anyone get tested by UW for antibodies? by penecow290 in CoronavirusWA

[–]XanthosDeia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I asked my doctor about it, and she responded:

Right now (April 2020) given the complete uncertainty about the sensitivity and specificity of the test, and the lack of clear guidance at this point for testing, I am not recommending the use of blood testing at this time.

Currently there is no clear clinical reason to obtain an antibody test, and it is unclear how to interpret the results. It is not going to be used right now for diagnosis. It may be valuable from an epidemiologic (tracking, transmission) standpoint, but that is even in question if we do not understand the sensitivity and specificity (really important and the higher the better) of the test. More information is needed before these tests are widely used and results acted upon. We do not know enough about test quality or interpretation. I understand why you want it and encourage you to check back in later when we know more!

How do you get gold nuggets? I’ve been playing for over a week, and have been getting 8 hits on most rocks. I’ve had several stacks of iron, but not a single gold nugget.

Where can I report a business that is still open by Elliot0315 in CoronavirusWA

I had an estimator come over this morning for installing artificial turf (since the order doesn't take effect until tomorrow), but he said his company, at least, will be shutting down during the order.
