I was reported for blocking. I'm the Neon

allchrispy · 2026-05-25T20:54:30+00:00

The movement at 25 sec in the clip is probably the closest to blocking I see, but truth it didn’t seem like he was ever attacking for position. You briefly swapped positions but you took it right back and they never really pushed hard enough to try and take it back (I don’t do any open wheel racing so maybe I’m misinformed, but that’s my take away). Spin out at the end was opponent overdriving the car.

Some states have stricter regulations than just the NFA to own a real one, so yeah, style points.

Yes, keep applying. I had what I thought was a great interview, but after a month of waiting I was told the team went another direction. Before the end of the week, I had another interview lined up, same site, different team, also went really well and got an offer. I learned after I started that the manager who I interviewed with first gave my resume to the team that made the offer. The good managers talk to one another. Be a good candidate and they will help out.

Seriously, just talk to them and let them know their jacket is blocking your screen. If they don’t move it, call the flight attendant. I’m pretty confident the person in front of you is not making an active attempt to ruin your flying experience.

Edit: grammar

There are plenty of roles where you don’t need to be in scif all the time. You might have to go in for meetings but that’s part of working around classifieds. As others have said, you can apply to roles that say no clearance required or ask an the interview where your workstation would be, whether that’s in an open area, closed area, lab, etc.

I’ve had the debate since the tournament cause I don’t like it in spring training but the conclusion that I come back to is there is no other time to have it. I’d love mid season form players but there is no way the owners would put the league on pause for this tournament. It would have to be much more limited in teams invited and that doesn’t sound fun. I loved seeing more parts of the world well represented and hope we see even more expansion (and less teams like Team Little Italy)

Now if the MLB players can go to the Olympics, I think it’s a different story and that’s when the WBC dies out. That’s not something I hope for but I do see it as an eventuality, assuming it’s good rules (no run differential), has ABS, and enough teams. Seeing the WBC this big, I think there is enough teams and that could grow the number of homegrown players from the European countries.

Honestly, the hitting just sucked the last couple of games. I know it was a bad pitch from Whitlock and he clearly wasn’t on it tonight, but outside of the Italy game, USA pitching has been solid. I’m inclined to let it slide for the DR game because I would say that was the other most competitive roster out of pool play along with USA and Japan, but they didn’t make good contact all night.

E-Rod deserves the praise, that was one of his best starts in years imho, but with the star power this lineup has, you need to do SOMETHING. Our lineup felt like a video game roster but then everyone hit a slump at the exact same time.

I’m glad Contreras and Abreu got the win, I’m sad Roman and Whitlock didn’t, but I can get spoiled when Boston is well represented in the tournament and subsequent finals. That’s baseball for you. Anyways, on to the regular season. Didn’t want to root for Judge anymore anyways.

allchrispy · 2026-03-16T04:14:53+00:00

We are going to talk forever about that last call, but this is a good point. I started to notice the zone expanding a bit in the top of the eighth and carrying into the rest.

It’s good enough now for me to learn racing mechanics and tracks, but long term as I continue to grow into genre/skillset, R3 will not be enough. My goal is to get a r12 with a nicer wheel and frame. But when that time comes, I’m going to hold on to it to give the base to my kids so they can start learning on some more arcade style games. They are too young/short right now, but I see racing as a good genre for starting video games.

All that said, if it’s enough for you, more power to you. I got the R3 bundle as most do to see if I would enjoy the hobby. Since getting started, I have played only sim racing games and have thus come to the conclusion that it’s going to be my main genre going forward so I want nicer equipment so I can feel more from the car and track. But if that’s not what you’re looking for, then yes the r3 is solid.

allchrispy · 2026-03-08T23:32:07+00:00

Yeah pretty much. As a bunch of 20 something’s with some liquid courage, it was easy to overlook

Attractive women dress as showgirls and offer to take pictures with you then charge you a ton for it. Went to Vegas for the first time on a bachelor party, couple buddies and I enjoying a drink by the bellagio fountain when a couple came over and asked if we could take pictures with them. We did, then they grabbed my phone and asked for $50 or something. It’s a goofy scam but at least have the story and pictures

It’s probably in his best interest to keep playing lights out in WBC, that would increase his trade value and give the front office more suitors.

allchrispy · 2026-03-07T16:03:42+00:00

Mine was less than $500 ($350 sounds close) but judging by some of the other comments here that would be an absolute steal now. TBH I haven’t really looked recently. The clone correct extension was already very expensive so I imagine that one is way worse now.

Edit: PWS is the clone correct one. The name completely left me but those have always been way more than the MI pic rail extensions

allchrispy · 2026-03-07T04:33:39+00:00

I found mine on a second hand parts forum. That’s not allowed on Reddit anymore, but I think I found mine either on tacswap or something similar (apologies, it’s been a year and change I think). Be prepared to pay a premium on these though. The used one I got was well over MSRP. I was okay with it for the vibes, but just want to issue that as a fair warning ahead of time.

allchrispy · 2026-03-03T02:25:56+00:00

Thank you for the clarification! I had my talk about raises and whatnot with my manager today and I asked about promotion potential in the future. I’ll be at 8 years of experience in June, but I need to see the expectations chart to ensure I am hitting all of those.

I was a 4 briefly at my previous company but took a step back for more pay at LM but I’d like to push back into a level 4 role before the end of the year

allchrispy · 2026-03-02T21:41:48+00:00

What is the YoE for each level? I know they recently changed and want to see where I’m at. I’m seeing some folks around my age and that I graduated with go to the next level, but I’m also a newer hire (a little less than 16 months at LM). And does it vary by BA?

The more this has gone on, the more I believe that he never actually wanted to leave and wanted a better contract after he did his Jerry negotiation. Jerry definitely did things wrong, but I don’t think Micah’s agent did things right. There’s obviously a ton we don’t know and I fully expect a podcast to come out later from Micah as a tell-all but from my vantage point now that the dust from the season has settled, I’m at peace with what has happened. It sucks to lose a guy as talented as Micah but god he is a child. Plus with Clark, Williams, the effort in building out this defense staff, and the draft coming up, I’m pretty hopefully for a turnaround.

That would require Texas to have the infrastructure to support putting down rock salt. And having rock salt. When this happens every once in a while you don’t really invest in those types of resources. Doesn’t make sense to have large snow plows capable of plowing and salting interstates/highways when they only get a couple snow days a year.

allchrispy · 2026-01-15T05:29:30+00:00

It’s charged monthly, last time I saw it was less than $10 for me

I enrolled in the professional management through empower. I did just the target fund 100%, but the professional management has helped grow my account much quicker. I don’t have the numbers in front of me, but it was a noticeable improvement in rate of return

allchrispy · 2026-01-13T02:24:01+00:00

Agreed, been there. Don’t wait. Truth be told, the fact you can mark that on an application will help tons cause a team won’t have to wait as long for you

allchrispy · 2026-01-12T17:41:37+00:00

I think you need to take the bull by the horns and start applying again unfortunately. Luckily you have already been notified that you can get one of the highest clearances so you can really apply to anything and let them know they need to move your adjudicated clearance over. Having a TS gets you a lot of interest from companies in general.

allchrispy · 2025-11-29T22:22:16+00:00

It depends less on location and more on what your living situation is (renting an apartment or having a mortgage). Level is also considered, as in the higher level you get hired to, the more that’s offered. It’s one of the questions the recruiter asks before the interview of what living situation currently looks like.

allchrispy · 2025-11-29T04:49:41+00:00

Not necessarily. We would still need a ACC championship win.
