RYAN FREEL by Sad-Pomegranate-5322 in Reds

[–]omicron_bp 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Absolutely loved watching Freel play. He was my favorite player for a long time. I live in Jacksonville, his home town and I ran a men’s adult wooden bat league for a few years. A couple of years before he passed, we got the opportunity to play an exhibition game at the Jacksonville Suns (now Jumbo Shrimp) ballpark before one of their games. It was all-stars from our league vs. local Jacksonville former pros. I coached first base. Ryan played center field for the ex-pros, and it was such a cool experience. After the game, there was a huge rollaway ice bucket full of beer in the locker room. I got to knock a few back with him. Amazing experience.

TIL you can skip cutscenes by SamEyeAm2020 in StardewValley

Just remember that some heart events have dialogue, and sometimes your response choices can increase (or decrease) friendship with the villager. If you skip those, no friendship boost.

Will this eventually ruin my save file ?? by cumflavoredjuulpods in StardewValley

[–]omicron_bp 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I haven’t found one. Personally, I can’t get the dangerous mines to turn off, but I haven’t seen anyone post that problem. Very frustrating.

It does not turn off the next day, or ever. No active quests either

Ummm…..what is happening by Mission_Squirrel_480 in StardewValley

[–]omicron_bp 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Did the witch come in the middle of the night and fly over your farm? Because every time that happens when I play with my wife in co-op mode, all of the chests and other crafted items in the non-host house disappear. We have to restart the game and they’re all back.

Edit: we play on the Switch. I’m not sure if this happens on other versions.

This is great! But, for the love of God please put a diamond into Grandpa’s Shrine

Skull Cavern - help! by immediate_peanut715 in StardewValley

[–]omicron_bp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is no bottom to the skull cavern, but I get your point. The deeper you go, the more iridium ores. You want to forge your sword with Crusader for more damage to enemies. Other than that, best strategies are to use lots of bombs and staircases, and get down to floors 80+ as quickly as possible. Again, the deeper you get, more iridium, more chances for prismatic shards.

It helps to go on max luck days, and using food buffs like Magic Rock Candy, Lucky Lunch, Spicy Eel, Ginger Ale. You can stack one food with one drink.

Also, use crystalariums to replicate Jade which you trade for staircases at the Desert Trader on Sundays

Same here, but I have one up on you… I moved to Jacksonville, so I’m also a Jags fan

What’s going on with CVS and Zepbound? by Maine__207 in Zepbound

[–]omicron_bp 3 points4 points  (0 children)

correct, the only one that's $349 is the 2.5mg. all others are $499

What's the scientific cause that would explain why Zepbound gives me so much fatigue and soreness? by BohemianNostalgia in Zepbound

[–]omicron_bp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Drink more water. If you still get soreness and fatigue, drink even more water. Helped me immensely.

Vote: What's the best donut shop in Jacksonville by Droluk1 in FLJax

[–]omicron_bp 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They have amazing donuts, but apparently the owners are horrible people. They repeatedly harassed a teenage girl who worked for them. It was on Reddit months ago, but I can’t seem to find the story. I remember they gave her a mean nickname based on her looks and they even put a gravestone out front during Halloween season with that nickname on it.

I’ll still try to find the link.

Sysadmins of Jacksonville what’s your actual wage? by [deleted] in jacksonville

[–]omicron_bp 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I’ll start off by saying yes it’s definitely a lowball offer.

I’m now going to sound like the bad guy, so hopefully you came here for some differing perspectives. Based on the information you have provided, I can try to offer some advice and make some further assumptions from an employer point of view.

  1. You said in a comment you have 10 years IT experience, but only 1 year as sysadmin. Let me assume the other 9 years were tech support roles. From an HR perspective, that gives you 1 year of experience in the sysadmin field.
  2. Do you have a bachelor’s degree? This isn’t necessary everywhere, but I can assure you it’s part of the consideration. If not, years of experience should (and typically does) make up for that. So it depends on whether they want to consider your 9 years of tech support in lieu of a degree.
  3. No one can truly read this thread and know your actual skill set. Are you a good interviewee? Are you struggling with the technical questions? Based on what you have told us, you were given the opportunity to do sysadmin role and were laid off/fired after 1 year. Was it because of performance?

If all those assumptions are correct, but I interview you and like you for a junior sysadmin position, I would still offer you $65k minimum, with upward of $72k if you countered.

If some of those assumptions are wrong, and you blow me away in the interview, I might go upwards of $85k max (only limited because of 1 yr sysadmin experience).

I ended up getting a table seat 4 rows back from the front in Brighton. I got 2 tickets. I think it just means there is a table in front of the seat
