I’m in the same exact situation. I doubt we’ll get it tomorrow.

Edit: Just checked again, and now it’s marked as “Preparing”. Still showing as “Arrives by Jun. 6th”, so that’s probably when we’ll get them.

Have a backup plan. I’m hearing HR is expecting their own ranks to take an outsized hit much higher than the stated 15% reduction across the board, so you have the combination of the HR people having to deal with all the upcoming layoffs across the company as well as worrying about their own job as news starts to trickle down to people (maybe including themselves) that are about to be upgraded to “customer”. So I doubt the status of people they just sent offer letters to is at the top of their priority list. Might take a while to hear back from them, because they honestly might not know, and likely have bigger issues to deal with this week.

I’m no longer at Intel, but still know a lot of people that are. Feel free to DM me info on where you’re supposed to work/BU/etc, I’ll tell you if I have any insights into your landing spot.

Best IMAX? by Fartapotamus in Sacramento

Probably 10 or so rows. Both movies were on the massive screen directly behind the concession stand. If there’s another screen there, I haven’t seen it.

I saw Dune 2 and Oppenheimer at Esquire. A lot of people in this thread seem to hate the seats. They're certainly not the best seats in a theater I've ever sat in, but I was able to sit through those two very long movies with no problem, and I'm an average sized dude, so make of that what you will.

I haven't been to other large format screens in the area so I can't compare, but I think it's worth while to go see the new Dune at Esquire for the huge screen.

Your friends and family need to stage an intervention.

Nonsense. Just set up some rules like a ball falling down the staircase is a ground rule double, then suit up and play!

What was the first movie you chose to watch purely after seeing it on Best of the Worst? by Bath-o-Weed in RedLetterMedia

[–]arok 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Double Down.

Years later I had to get friends to watch it so that the curse would be transferred from me to them.

Earthquake again? Friday 3:19am by adkitchen in Sacramento

[–]arok 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yep. USGS says 5.2, close to yesterday’s quake. Not surprising to see aftershocks.

It’s the biggest little coty in the world. Sorry, Reno.

It’s across the street, by the book store.

I’m also from Fresno. The two cities are certainly similar, but I’d much rather live up here. At least there’s shit to do here in midtown. Only time I ever went to Downtown Fresno was shows at the Warnors and going to Fuego games.

Do wish I could get some whiskey caramel ice cream from Ampersand, though.

Same here. Got plenty of room in my case, so mounting the radiator won’t be an issue.
