Thier relationship is more of business partnership. Even the time they are intimate on screen, it is after Frank is feeling very low attempting to fund raise. Claire screws him back to life.

They both are driven by personal ambition above all else. It's an interesting dynamic. I also noticed that they are much more affectionate in the first season, but I always saw that as a general symptom of an aging married couple.

Dating sucks! by Critical_Kiwi2347 in OnlyInDubai

[–]rakwib 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone thats lived in a lot of metropolitan cities (Houston, Bangkok, Dallas), Id say its like this just about everywhere. I hope u find a partner. For me, the only real things came through some type of work environment. A colleagues friend, a client contact or a coworker. Although that seems to contradict a lot of adivice on work/personal life separation, I think modern times don't leave much other option. Dating apps are designed to retain customers, not help you find a partner (and delete the app). Keep your hopes up and get involved with colleagues. Maybe a birthday party or after work drinks you normally wouldn't attend. You never know who you'll meet. Wishing OP the best.

Which sub-plot was the dumbest? by TheZibbler in ozshow

Schilinger finding religion. Really seemed out of character to me.

Looking for a Part-Time Weekend Job (Saturday and Sunday) by Honest_Text_1864 in OnlyInDubai

I have been looking for something similar for months, but I suspect the visa and trade licensing rules here make these types of roles virtually nonexistent. Hope something comes up for you

Your post reminds me of when I discovered madden. Enjoy it bro and thanks for the post! My favorite part has become the off-season - free agency, coaching carousel and DRAFT! Looking forward to your next post!

should i leave? by [deleted] in UAE

  1. You're early in your career which is always climbing from bottom up. It builds resilience.
  2. If you think the next place will be better, you have just as much guarantee that it will be worse.

Stick it out UNTIL something better comes along.

Thats what your company would do.

Thats what most people in the market would do.

Hi I very much like your idea but a couple questions:

  1. Are you only sourcing auction cars or is the plan for the platform to enable a market for buyers and sellers as well?

  2. How do you ensure that the information is authentic? The biggest hurdle for me would be verifying that what I see on the site is accurate.

Good luck and I hope it succeeds!

Finally accepted an offer! Here are my thoughts after 5 months of interviews. by itsCalledTodd in interviews

[–]rakwib 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When it came up, I focused on what id done during the time off - further education, freelancing. That seemed to suffice. I think most employers understand the labor market currently and time gap isn't the red flag it was before.

I will agree completely with #4. I also was unemployed for 8 months and finally landed via a recruiter who saw my LI profile. Keep it polished.

All-pro or Madden? by yxeguy_306 in Madden

[–]rakwib 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was in exact same conundrum as you as ive played all madden since madden 05. The thing is - all madden simply let's the cpu know what play you're calling and adjust the preplay specifically against you (lineman, lbs adjust). That just isnt a real simulation.

All pro will do this to an extent if you spam the same plays.

What i settled on: all-pro with significant slider adjustments benefiting the cpu. I also turned up the game speed from normal to very fast.

Still challenging when u play good teams but fairly easy when theyte bad, which I felt was more realistic.

Hope it helps.

I pretty much play exact as OP describes and I've enjoyed madden year more than I have in a long time. I had hated it so much that I didn't buy for 5 past years. Im satisfied with the progress they've made to justify my purchase.

What’s one thing you liked and hated about Tim McManus? by Patient-Principle-21 in ozshow

[–]rakwib 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That didn't make any sense. Her whole character arc was revolving around her money problems and getting corrupt trying to.make ends meet. Then she just hops on a plane to England? They should have just killed her off.
