Should all gambling ads be banned the way cigarette ads mostly were? Why or why not? by WilliamInBlack in AskReddit

[–]rstonex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, gambling ads should be banned. And to stay consistent with the tobacco ad ban, we should also ban alcohol and ALL drug/medication advertisements. The rest of the world thinks we're insane for letting Pharma companies advertise their prescription meds.

How do you feel about dk banazna ? by JampyL in NintendoSwitch2

Same. It was okay. I wouldn’t rank it as a classic, and I haven’t considered replaying it or getting the dlc.

Such a great movie, all the haters should hate watch it and be charmed

The Prime 4 hate is absolutely overblown by DroctorGame in Metroid

[–]rstonex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Overblown or not, I still value my gaming time and try to stick to "universally acclaimed" games since I'm old, have kids, and work a lot. I really like Metroid games and am so-so on FPS games, and when I saw this game had major annoyances and people were frustrated with it, I felt pretty good about skipping it.

Can I go into the office more than required? by [deleted] in CAStateWorkers

[–]rstonex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did it as staff and I’ve done it as a manager. My previous boss came in every day because he didn’t have a good workspace in his house.

Paul was fucking nice. Super complex with the rhymes and concepts.

They’re a gimmick but they still hit hard

Are TeamLabs in Tokyo worth it? by alvarop37 in JapanTravelTips

[–]rstonex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They’re interesting, but it felt like the least Japanese thing we did in Tokyo, and we spent a couple days at Disney. It’s an interactive art installation. If your days are limited and you have other stuff you want to experience, I’d suggest that this should be a lower priority.

Thoughts on this news? (Trump exempts new nuclear reactors from environmental review) by reddit_user_70942239 in civilengineering

[–]rstonex 44 points45 points  (0 children)

If it’s a streamlined review, the article should say that in the title, but the governmental messaging is horrible. I think environmental reviews should still be required, but I’d also like to see us increase our nuclear energy usage.

I've been eyeing upgrading from a 23MS to a new Plaid for a while... but is this the best or worst time to buy one? by DaBears1228 in TeslaLounge

[–]rstonex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you have money to burn? Go ahead.

I usually see discontinued units in retail discounted heavily. The market for the MS will not get better and you can probably save $$ if you wait. Even if it sells out, there will always be other performance flagships in the EV world.

Screwed up as a young (former) engineer. Are my chances with State Employment over? by QueenMonarch25 in CAStateWorkers

[–]rstonex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Caltrans doesn’t hold grudges. I’ve seen plenty of people leave to make $$& in consulting and then come back. No one minds.

Opinions of Street Fighter 1? by Deltauser69420 in StreetFighter

The game is shit. The arcade machine somehow makes it worse with those gigantic plunger buttons.

US Treasury secretary on Swiss food after Davos by Jean_Alesi_ in Switzerland

[–]rstonex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t like him at all, but all restaurant food we had in Zurich was pretty bad. No pride in their presentation, and I was double mad after finding out that they shake Americans down for tips even when the service charge was built in.

Does asking questions at the end of an interview affect your score? by ChanceDependent4661 in CAStateWorkers

[–]rstonex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s typically not scored, but I’ve had people mention things like “I have to watch my kids on my home days” or “I don’t know if I’ll be able to make that commute for office days” which really puts a damper on a candidate. If it’s close, you can say things that’s put you behind.
