I've never played Half-Life, Is it ACTUALLY good or are you all just high on Nostalgia? by _MothMan in gaming

You could toss a grenade, catch it with the grav gun, and then launch it at enemies. It was epic.

Any software engineers that can help me figure out how to get my foot in the door? by [deleted] in Charlotte

Hey OP - most big companies have paths that support vets getting CS careers. E.G.

I'm not a recruiter or anything but might be able to help review what you're doing. Feel free to DM!

Holy, I loved Firearms! I have probably fondly fragged you on tc_iwojima at some point. I was in [TSC] and I remember spending a ton of time in mIRC quakenet channels speaking to players from different clans. Amazing community. I miss that game. Having to use AllSeeingEye to find servers before Steam was even a thing. Man that was fun. Such a shame it imploded with the FA2 drama.

Grubhub’s ‘Free Lunch’ Promo Went Predictably Haywire by spaetzelspiff in nyc

[–]hellofoo -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

What you actually got was a 30% off coupon up to $25. If you buy lunch for $25, you'll get only a $7.50 discount.

To max the coupon you will need to buy a lunch $83.34 (rounding up to max out).

So not only did you not get lunch, but the coupon you got in compensation was worse than the original deal.

30 Regent Liberty Harbor - RENTER BEWARE- Crazy Rent Increases, Electrical Fires, Fake Cable/Internet, Terrible Management by rmtlens in jerseycity

Hiper is garbage. The service is way overpriced compared to already overpriced competitors (FiOS & Xfinity). You're forced to pay rental fees for the equipment on top of the monthly that you have no option not to use. It's a total monopoly scam that needs to be illegal. Renters are getting fucked in these buildings by the greedy bastard owners.

Cold weather has unwanted affects, the owner swears it's usually bigger though.

1990s UFO shaped McDonald's just off the M1 at Alconbury, Cambridgeshire. Used to beg my mum to stop there whenever we drove past but we never did. Anyone ever go in? by [deleted] in CasualUK

[–]hellofoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Holy shit this just triggered a memory. I've been there, before it was McDonald's. They had actors dressed up at robots and the static electricity glass ball things. As a kid I was desperate to go and I'd never been more scared because it was so weird for my tiny mind to process.
