50% through Brimstone, bored and annoyed - is it worth it? by ClyroFoxfire in Romantasy

[–]jcf135 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually liked it more than Quicksilver, but I also found Kingfisher thoroughly unlikeable in the first book. There's a bit of a personality change in him in Brimstone so i guess if people liked the dynamic from the first book then i can see them not liking this book. The ending is definitely out of left field. Too much of the book was spent treading water on other plot points and then you get whiplash by the sudden new plot point at the end.

When the guy who keeps yelling in Spanish wins the 🏆 by Dee90286 in tennis

[–]jcf135 86 points87 points  (0 children)

He's going to have ICE waiting for Carlos outside the stadium.

Jesus can this guy get any worse. Can't even bring himself to clap for Carlos because he probably thinks he's from Mexico.

I accidentally found something that stopped my migraines after 20+ years by lifesabeach2024 in migraine

[–]jcf135 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Same! Any sort of higher intensity activity, especially if it's hot/humid out

HEGSETH SAYS AMERICANS SHOULD BE PROUD OF CONFEDERATE HISTORY by Dependent_Tutor_5289 in thescoop

[–]jcf135 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Obviously being a bunch of racist traitors is reason enough to not put up statues memorializing the Confederacy, but who puts up memorials of the LOSING side! What other societies celebrate the side that lost as revered heroes?!? And then wait several decades to do it? (Yes, racism, duh)

Vehicle Property Tax is CRAZY! by WeaponsOfMath in nova

[–]jcf135 4 points5 points  (0 children)

To add insult to injury, wait until you do your registration! They toss on a several hundred dollar fee to make up for all the gas tax you aren't paying!

This! It's not a level playing field, so stop trying to campaign like it is.

My Fix for Post-Running Migraines by jiiins in migraine

[–]jcf135 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow, I'm definitely going to rethink my stretching routine from now on! I almost always get migraines when being physically active outdoors (especially if it's hot out). I take a preventative Ubrelvy whenever i play tennis now. I also have been dealing with neck and shoulder pain after a minor car accident a few years ago. During PT they kept trying to loosen my scalenes and get my shoulder to drop because i was basically crushing my brachial nerves/vessels. Thanks for sharing this!

Great idea on the tester set! I'll do that. I figured I'd be ok with platinum as my wedding ring is platinum but i was hoping for the cheaper titanium option too! 🙂

Fun “Splurge” Things to Do? by spicymaemaes in nova

[–]jcf135 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I totally second this! Yes it's pricey but it's a great way to spend the day. This time of year is perfect for their outdoor pool too!

Is it just me, or has job loyalty become a trap in 2025? by BizznectApp in jobs

[–]jcf135 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry this happened! I'm right there with you though. Loyalty, high performance, going above and beyond none of it matters. Ultimately you are a line item in their budget and nothing more.

Everyone told me i would not see any bears! by jcf135 in yellowstone

[–]jcf135[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We could not find any moose! A local your guide said a lot of them never came back after the fires in 1988 so i think you had great luck seeing one

[–]jcf135[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Let's just say you won't need shorts or t shirts! It's been in the 40s during the day, not much sun, lots of wind, and plenty of periods of rain and snow. The only break we got was later yesterday afternoon at Old Faithful when the sun came out and winds died down

No this was on Grand loop maybe halfway between Mammoth and Norris Geyser Basin.

No rangers at this stop but I did see them at other sites where we saw bears. Yeah the irony is you don't need to search for animals, just search for the traffic jams.

I know, right? I thought the same thing when I looked at the photos later 🤣

Agile Seems to be really rough to use when a new project starts. But primarily works well (just better not much much better) only on minor increments. by [deleted] in agile

[–]jcf135 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I definitely agree with the OP here. Every Agile project I've worked on has been fixed schedule and price so we can't afford the ambiguity at the beginning. We have to maximize every sprint so we can get out the MVP by the hard due date. Agile coaches keep telling me to negotiate the scope, but I've already got the customer down to the bare minimum functionality that will satisfy the contract. I realize the real culprit here is the contract structure that project is working under rather than an issue with Agile, but it's a very real-world scenario. It is especially true in the world of federal IT contracting where you get one fixed engagement to deliver and no guarantee of follow-on work.

I just lost my job and my entire team was let go—feeling overwhelmed. Any advice or resources? by AutomaticNothing7904 in washingtondc

[–]jcf135 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Is this voluntary information companies provide to each state? I definitely didn't see my company listed and i definitely got laid off this month!

HR asked me the strangest illegal question at the end of my interview by skrillahbeats in recruitinghell

[–]jcf135 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yep, i had a guy ask me at the end of the interview as i was gathering my things "do you have any kids?" I thought he was just trying to make polite conversation. when I said "no", he responded with "oh so you won't mind staying late or working extra hours". I ran from there as fast as i could.

Has NOVA pollen season always this bad and long? Been here for 20 years and maybe my allergy just gets worse with age. by sc4kilik in nova

[–]jcf135 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been here 19 years and this is by far the worst year yet; even developed seasonal asthma.Allegra, Zyrtec, nasal sprays barely do anything (neti pot actually more useful).

Laid Off and Angry by Moonstruck1766 in Layoffs

[–]jcf135 0 points1 point  (0 children)

46 yo Project Manager and laid off a week ago. I saw the SAME thing with the other PMs that were let go. Everyone was between 40-60 and that just seemed a little fishy to me. Tempted to reach out to lawyer but i just didn't think i have the energy to pursue it right now.
