This is how my tech interview went this week. For every question the panel had I returned a battle story. They were laughing and serious at the same time. Bagged it!

But… HR stuck their nose in and wants their guy interviewed. So now I have to wait a week for them to (hopefully) say, “Thanks but we’re going with Shalafi71.”

Meh, agreed and disagreed. A few 50lb. bags of corn and rice go a long way. A 5lb. bag of potatoes can go forever. Well, corn too I guess.

But the main catch is that you have to have land to grow it on. My wife and I are tiny and our yard is pretty big, but I doubt we could feed ourselves off it. We’re fortunate to have a couple of acres of part swamp, put “uplands” in Florida. It would be a daily chore to boil and process water though.

Here’s something survivalists haven’t clued in on. They figure .22 rifle and 20-gauge shotgun can get all the small game they like. Add in an AR-15, or better yet, a real hunting rifle, and game like deer seems abundant.

I spend more time in the wilds than any 20 random lemmings put together. There ain’t that much game to be had folks, and what little there is would be 100% wiped within a week of locals facing food shortages, let alone starvation. Yes, even the coyotes would be food, not a single water moccasin would survive. We’d be straining the swamp water for minnows.

Since I was born we’ve lost 74% of the animals on this planet. I’ve seen it, lived it. The best prepared are going vegan in a fucking hurry.

You’ll love my comment from yesterday!

probably are planning to have sex

LOL, they’re already fucking, bet on it my friend. :)

When my gf and I were 17 we had sex everywhere and as often as possible. Yeah, they’re going to do it in a church parking lot if they can’t do it at home.

Age of consent is the line where 18+ can have sex with you. Not sure it ever applies between people of the same age.

Spot on take BTW!

Saw dad lose a cannonball of a beer belly. He had run into an old friend and was embarrassed by how fat he had become in comparison. Asking his friend how he lost it, John replied:

“Easy Bob, I just brainwashed myself into thinking being hungry was a good thing.”

Worked for me as well.

You’re not telling yourself food is bad, that way lies eating disorders. You’re simply telling yourself that being low-key hungry is a normal state of affairs for a homo sapien. Because it is a normal state of affairs. Stop horking down pork rinds every time a little hunger pings you. Fucking ignore it, go on. That behavior can become a habit.

People see my skinny ass eat like a hog and marvel at my “metabolism”. No, hard no. I only put calories in my face two, maybe three times a day. Zero snacks, zero soft drinks. (OK, time to fess up. Many calories from beer. There, I said it.)

Have you watched the investigative documentary? Or do you just “know” from what you gleaned on social media? I have a feeling your opinion was formed by the later. If so, give the linked show a watch, gave me a much deeper insight into how it all played out. As I said, clusterfuck, but I was surprised at what I learned.

Unless you feel PBS is fascist propaganda? Or perhaps are afraid you might see something that changes your opinion? Again, betting on the later case.

Every single cop on the Uvalde police force deserved prison time

I seem to have my answer as to where you get your information. How very conservative of you. Seething outrage at a thing you haven’t actually taken an hour or two to learn about.

Here’s the part where I have to make a “lemmy caveat” and state that I fucking loathe the police, ACAB, all that, for fear of being excoriated. All that is true, but I don’t have to say it.

Same color as the sky above the port?

Everyone who criticizes the Uvalde cops should watch that. Yes, it was a clusterfuck, but not on the level it was made out.

Typical PBS investigation, no bias, no bullshit, just the facts ma’am:

Huh. AI pics don’t bother me but I get that exact feeling looking at most optical illusions.

Yep, OP should start with tilapia, the white bread of fish.

OP: When you fry it in oil, get it really hot first. You want to cook it fast under high heat so it caramelizes and sweetens.

Are you vagina shaped or simply an owner?

Wouldn’t lag be an issue, given electronic attenuation, even at speed-of-light? Maybe not since drone pilots manage? Damned interesting thought you have.

Got a rebuttal? “Boot licker” counts around here, always a solid vote winner. You don’t have to say anything smart, at all, just level the accusation.

Of course WFH is often the better option, by far, but I’m saying the practice suffers from many of the same issues we’re talking about here.

I’m laughing at all these posts bagging on online education. Likely from the same people who think WFH is obviously superior to RTO. Some of the same issues apply here people.

no socialisation

Between missing in-person schooling and social media, we have an entire generation that are, socially speaking, idiots. I see posts on here everyday that remind me of that.

More pizza delivery drivers get shot than cops.

Pretty certain that stat is from America. Also, pretty certain my post was the opening to one of the most famous cyberpunk novels of all time.

Trust me, STFU and stay strong. My wife watches stupid crime shows every night, and every night it’s a bunch of white trash happily talking their dumbasses off to the cops. Makes me want to scream.
