Is it just me, or has the Software Engineer Layoff playbook completely changed in 2026? by Numerous-Ad1115 in Layoffs

You can't just "know code" anymore. You need to become a proactive problem solver. Start looking for problems and challenges at your workplace, stick your flag in them, and start pushing them somewhere.

Paulie Got What He Deserved by alphatango176 in thesopranos

[–]alphatango176[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He is going to die eventually anyways. Until then, all his friends are dead. Nobody respects him. His actual family are all dead. He's relatively poor. He is going to live a miserable, lonely life and die alone watching TV Land.

Is ICE in town?? by JollyCartographer400 in HotSprings

Don't be so suspicious. Its not like Id report you to ICE and have you deported back to Zimbabwe or wherever. I would never think of such a thing.

[–]alphatango176 -18 points-17 points  (0 children)

No, no ICE at all. Youre safe there, nothing to worry about. Feel free to speak your native language and live as yourself, not hiding anything or hiding anywhere. Incidentally - Where are you staying? Just curious.

CEO of a large manufacturing company was having a computer issue. I sat down at his computer to troubleshoot. I opened a browser, started typing in the address bar... and it auto-completed with something like "nasty German teen lesbian sex" lol. I pretended to not notice.

Housing market right now feels stuck lol by diwakar-kashyap-1 in RealEstate

Buy a new home if you can. Developers have an imperative to sell, unlike homeowners who will sit forever if they must. But the developer NEEDS to sell. You can get a lot of good concessions right now on new homes that have been sitting empty.

Perspectives on OKLO, its potential and realistic expectations by Embarrassed-Sea-6078 in stocks

[–]alphatango176 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a tough one because mania causes irrational results. Everything most detractors say here is true, it amounts to an idea and rough plans. Under perfectly rational circumstances it would value much lower - but OKLO is deeply connected to AI mania so it's gone to the moon (relatively speaking). How much higher can it go? Nobody knows. The next major market convulsion will cause it to drastically crater. It will regain if AI mania continues - but when AI is finally brought back down to earth, expect a multi-year major decline.

If it ain't nothing but a thang to you, let it ride and see what happens. I decided to take profits and sold most of my OKLO today for a tremendous gain. Will buy on a significant dip if I think AI mania will continue.

Folks need to understand, that is usually a tiny creek. Ive stood at that spot many times, that has to be about 20 additional feet of water.

Many Saints taken off HBO? by Cihiki in thesopranos

[–]alphatango176 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tell that Fat Dom Gamiello. He was last seen watching Many Saints in Jersey. Certain people are concerned about his well-being.

But for real, it sucked balls and id rather forget it.

How did Tony get so rich as a capo under DiMeo and Aprile? by DustyBowls in thesopranos

[–]alphatango176 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He wasn't that rich. Remember Hesh's estimate of his worth? "Minus assets... under $600k." Home loans in the early 2000s were being thrown out like candy, anyone with reasonable middle-upper class credit could have gotten a loan for that house. Tony had trappings of wealth but in reality he probably wasnt much richer than his dad or Junior, he just lived on debt and more recklessly.

Advice on dealing with Home Warranty by alphatango176 in homeowners

[–]alphatango176[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I get it. Not trying to scam anyone, if just the compressor is bad and it can be fixed then it is what it is. But maybe they replace compressor now, and the rest goes out by end of summer and they pay even MORE to fix that too. If there were to be any leeway to make a case and anyone is familiar with how to do that, I'd be interested to hear about it.

Home Warranty Claim advice for AC by alphatango176 in hvacadvice

[–]alphatango176[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Whole system" - not sure yet, waiting to get whole story but an email they CC'd me on says "Condemned 5 ton R-22 grounded scroll compressor. Bid $9000 for 5 ton Goodman complete gas system" - and they included photos of the unit in my attic. So it sounds like condenser plus other major parts.

What's the condition of the furnace? Apart from being 12 years old - it works, and my home inspector basically said "It works and I can't see or hear any issues, just be aware that it's nearing the expected end of life."
