6:00 PM

I got one of the new Crossbone Gundam kits I should work on.

Frank

@MadMAxJr Ooh! Which one?

MadMAxJr

I'm told it's a relatively new kit. Doesn't have the shroud/cloak thing like the older model.

Jin

@Frank nice

MadMAxJr

I still have a MG Sazabi and MG Kampfer out in the garage I should blow the dust off of at some point.

Origami Robot

@Unionhawk THAT, PLUS IT CAN ONLY FIT C4 WEAPONS

Frank

6:01 PM

There are, apparently, several Crossbones

So I have no idea which one is yours.

Q: Minecraft how to testfor if a mob is looking at the player

Is there a way I can testfor if a mob is looking at the player? I know there is a way to testfor a certain rotation, but is there a way to test if the mob is looking in the general location of the player?

Frank

@Jin My latest one turned out rather well, too. But still working on inspiration for my next painted build.

Jin

@Frank are you airbrushing?

Frank

@Jin Indeed.

Jin

nice.

i have a backlog of kits that i'll never finish in my life time..

Frank

6:03 PM

2 days ago, by Frank

@Jin I'm up to a dozen.

And I'm getting more this weekend.

MadMAxJr

Drat, work wont let me look at HLJ from here.

Jin

@Frank nice. do you sand the tips of the v-fin?

Frank

@Jin Nope. Just nubs.

MadMAxJr

I snagged the not-Figma Master Gundam they had up there recently, along with Master Asia.

6:05 PM

The entire inner frame is painted, in prep for converting the kit to the Star Build Strike.

Once I get the Universe Booster, that is.

Chippies

Guys, how do character references for job applications work? Do they call up the person you referenced and ask if you're a murderer? Also, does the reference person have to be from same country or does that differ from place to place?

@Powerlord So that you can put changes that should be together in the same commit

Unionhawk

@OrigamiRobot Ooooo...

Origami Robot

6:11 PM

@Unionhawk NEVERMIND, THAT WAS A BUG

Unionhawk

Oh

Origami Robot

FIXED IN 1.2.2

OR SO SAY THE PATCH NOTES

MadMAxJr

@Chippies On paper, they want to talk to someone who can speak about what kind of worker you are and verify your qualifications. In reality they sometimes want someone who might let something slip you didn't want them to hear, like if you were terminated from a position or similar

Chippies

@MadMAxJr I guess I should specify that it's a non-employer reference, as in, just someone that knows me

apparently such a reference is better than no reference at all

basically, I went to Walmart and they told me I need 2 references, I told them I haven't had a job in like, ever, especially in Canada and they said to just reference someone that I know, that's not family related in any way

Frank

@Chippies Just use one of us. That'll work!

Chippies

6:15 PM

@Frank Not sure if serious or making fun

Frank

@Chippies Totally making fun.

Using us is an extremely bad idea.

Kevin van der Velden

Also the best idea

Chippies

WELL, I guess I should go meet random people just so I can reference them and get a job

fredley

Hmmmmmm

Chippies

on a side note: why would Walmart, of all places, need 2 references

Unionhawk

6:18 PM

I'm honestly surprised they require such things

@uni is masochist and doesn't know javascript confirmed

...heh

MadMAxJr

@Chippies A non-professional reference. That's the "Yeah, he's not a serial killer, I think." reference.

murgatroid99

@Unionhawk WTF. Why are you making calls to a yahoo API?

Tim Stone

@Chippies Two people to ask whether or not you're likely to steal something.

Kevin van der Velden

@murgatroid99 CC @fredley as it's his code

Unionhawk

@murgatroid99 This is @fredley's code de-eviled

And kind of readable

Trent Hawkins

6:21 PM

@Chippies Sidenote: Don't get too comfy at Walmart, look for other work. They are likely to end your employment after 3 months. And they will not provide references.

fredley

@murgatroid99 I was bitching all about that when I was making it

It's (AFAIK) the only way to get a URL's contents without violating CORS

Sterno

@Chippies Because if literally no one will vouch for you, even as a lie, that tells them something

Chippies

@TrentHawkins I don't want to get comfy at Walmart, I don't want to work there at all, but of all the places I applied, Walmart is the most likely one (mostly because they really need people and the other places haven't replied in over a month)

fredley

Basically, allowing any webpage to scrape any other in the browser is a massive security risk, and using Yahoo! allows you to incorporate this massive security risk into your userscripts

Chippies

how well should these people know me to be able to reference?

like, do they ask questions about how awesome I am?

Origami Robot

6:23 PM

WELL ENOUGH TO AGREE TO GIVE YOU A REFERENCE

Chippies

@OrigamiRobot I have no idea what a reference actually is, though. Do they ask what am I like or do they just ask if they'd vouch for me being awesome?

Sterno

I've never been a reference for a wal-mart jobs, but for tech jobs they ask if the person is a hard worker, self-starter, etc. Basically is someone willing to answer questions in the affirmative?

Origami Robot

^

Sterno

So yes, basically vouch for awesomeness

Chippies

@Sterno that sounds more like professional reference, which makes sense, because you'd have to have worked with that person

gah, I hate stuff

Origami Robot

6:25 PM

STUFF IS PRETTY AWFUL

Chippies

someone should just give me a job without having to go through all this crap

WILL BE A FRIEND FOR FOOD!

Origami Robot

I'LL PAY YOU TO GIVE ME MTG CARDS

Trent Hawkins

@Chippies Yeah, just giving you a heads-up. Due to their 'privacy policies' they don't provide references to future employers; What you can use from them is your review letter.... which occurs after the first three months, but they'll end your employment before this, because they'd have to give you a raise after a favourable review.

Unionhawk

wat

Frank

@Unionhawk Welcome to Scummy Work Practices 101.

Origami Robot

6:27 PM

I'LL PAY ANY OF YOU FOR MTG CARDS

Chippies

@TrentHawkins so, technically, working at walmart has no long term benefits whatsoever? great

I suppose I could still put it on resume, right?

even if they'd cut me off within three months

Unionhawk

@Chippies Yes

Trent Hawkins

@Chippies Yes, but not under the references section, which if you are new to the workforce is kinda what you WANT from an employer...

Chippies

everything sucks

Unionhawk

I mean, it's better than nothing

Chippies

6:30 PM

gotta make babies and be a stay at home dad

Unionhawk

It shows nonzero work experience, and a willingness to put up with a lot of bullshit

Frank

I didn't use any reference from my previous workplace.

I figured good riddance to them.

Chippies

@Frank well, you're a genius and all the companies want you to work for them

Frank

@Chippies Sadly, I wish this was the case.

Chippies

I'm just some guy from a different country with no work experience

Trent Hawkins

6:31 PM

But - work hard and get chummy with your coworkers, after you are let go, ask THEM if you can list them as references.

Chippies

@TrentHawkins that sounds like a good advice

Frank

As is, if you were in my area, I'd see what I could do about getting you a job at my workplace. It's not perfect, but they do try to get a good work environment.

Origami Robot

@Chippies WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO?

Chippies

maybe I'll move to the land of eternal coldness with @Frank

Frank

6:33 PM

That said, I'm currently doing the work of three programmers, and I can almost guarantee my raise request is going to be denied.

At which point, I say so long suckers.

Chippies

@OrigamiRobot well, software developing is kinda what I'm aiming for

I do have a diploma that says "Software Technician" on it, but Idk if anyone cares about my diploma here in Canada

Sterno

@Chippies For Wal-Mart I suspect it's more "can they even find two people, professional or otherwise, who will say they'd be a good worker"

Chippies

@Sterno I guess that makes sense

Sterno

I mean, I don't think they expect you to list some other stock person who says "Yeah, man, I worked with him and he stocked shelves REAL GOOD". They just want to hear "Yeah, he's not an asshole"

Origami Robot

WHEN I STARTED HERE, I WAS DOING DOCUMENT CONTROL. THEY WEREN'T LOOKING FOR ENGINEERS, BUT I NEEDED ANYTHING. IT LET ME GET MY FOOT IN THE DOOR AND PROVE I COULD BE VALUABLE.

Wipqozn

6:35 PM

@TrentHawkins Yeah, they did the same thing to my sister and a bunch of other workers before probation was up. Wal-Mart is sleezy as fuck.

Tim Stone

I started off as CTO just like I abused my way into becoming a mod, so you should probably ignore all advice from me.

Chippies

Ideally, I just want some junior dev job (or whatever is the lowest dev status) and then work up from there, because I'm not confident enough to start higher anyway

Tim Stone

@Wipqozn The trick is to get real chummy with your superiors. Actual work ethic has little to do with it, from what I've heard.

Frank

@Chippies And that's exactly what I need. Some juniors to handle day to day bugfixing, so I can focus on writing new code.

Origami Robot

@Chippies SHOULD JUST LIVE WITH @Frank AND @TrentHawkins

AND @Wipqozn SHOULD COME LIVE WITH ME

Chippies

6:37 PM

@Frank sometime around august/september our rent contract is gonna be over and we'll most likely move to wherever I can get a job

Frank

I do have a free room...

Wipqozn

@OrigamiRobot No, you should come live with me. We have free healthcare!

Frank

@Chippies Hmm. Keep in mind, I may not be here by that point. But if I am, I can always see what I can do.

Origami Robot

@Wipqozn AND DENTAL/VISION?

Sterno

I'm too lazy to fix that

But it was a Three's Company image

Chippies

6:38 PM

@Frank Yeah, we'll see what happens then, still a couple of months left

@OrigamiRobot no, those aren't covered

Sterno

@TrentHawkins could overhear hilariously out-of-context innuendo when @Chippies and @Frank are fixing a shower rod in the bathroom.

Wipqozn

@OrigamiRobot No, you need to pay for dental and vision.

Unless you have a healthcare plan

MadMAxJr

I guess showing off your stack rep isn't a good reference...

Wipqozn

I've had to pay for one vision appointment in my life, and I think it cost me $40?

Chippies

@MadMAxJr "Oh look at that guys rep, he must be good at googling stuff"

Wipqozn

6:40 PM

Somewhere around there, I think.

Origami Robot

MY ACTUAL MEDICAL EXPENSES IN THE PAST 8 YEARS OR SO HAVE MAYBE COST $300

Sterno

Don't have a baby. Especially since you're male.

Origami Robot

WHEREAS DENTAL/VISION HAS BEEN $500

I JUST DON'T NEED TO GO TO THE DOCTOR MUCH

Sterno

The hospital cost for the kid we just had totaled something like $9k by the end of it. Maybe more. They make it really hard to tell

Origami Robot

SaintWacko

@Frank For a second I thought that was a Bionicle set

Sterno

@Chippies I hate that image because it was never about the fact that Walt couldn't afford treatment

Frank

@SaintWacko Yeah, the color scheme is super fragmented.

Origami Robot

@SaintWacko SHOTS FIRED

@Sterno OH? THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT

Chippies

@Sterno in a way it was. He didn't want to leave nothing to his family after his death, which wouldn't be an issue if a) he wasn't dying or b) his treatment was free

SaintWacko

6:46 PM

That dude

Chippies

b implies that his treatment would also be effective and keep from dying

Sterno

@Chippies A) sure, that's a given. Canada can't magically cure cancer any more than the US can though and B) He wanted to leave a big pile of money behind even after paying for treatment. And even money aside, it really wasn't about the money. The money was an excuse

Note that in the show, WALT GOT TREATMENT AND STILL DIED

(spoiler alert)

Frank

@SaintWacko The stance is similar, indeed.

Sterno

In fact, "the best" treatment

Frank

But it's just a painted build of a kit I have.

Sterno

6:47 PM

And he had friends willing to fully pay for it but wouldn't because ego

Frank

@Sterno But not from cancer.

At least, not from I can recall.

SaintWacko

@Frank And the spear, and the long pointy shield

it's not a bad thing

Sterno

@Frank It was a month or two off

Frank

I never did finish watching it.

Chippies

@Frank he did have cancer back though, so he would have died eventually

SaintWacko

6:48 PM

I always liked my Bionicle sets

I did not, however, like Breaking Bad

Chippies

Wife and I binge watched the whole thing in like 3 weeks

Wipqozn

@Sterno Oh please. What else was it about? How walt wasn't satisfied with his life, and regretted the decisions he made? That he felt he wasn't living up to his potential, and was destined for more? That he was cheated out of success that should have been his, even if, in reality, the fault was his own?

Oh wait... it was about all those things..

Origami Robot

LETS GO BACK TO TALKING ABOUT JUSTIFIED

Chippies

@Wipqozn he seemed pretty content with life until his cancer though

Wipqozn

@Chippies He...really didn't

The entire opening scene in breaking bad was to show he wasn't satisfied with his life

when he was told he had cancer, he didn't even want to get treatment at first, because he wasn't satisfied with his life and wanted to feel like he was in control.

Sterno

6:51 PM

Also, in Breaking Bad, Walt actually had insurance that would have covered a normal doctor.

> Eventually, health costs do become an issue when Skyler pressures Walter to undergo treatment after all. But it’s not because his HMO won’t pay. It’s because Skyler finds an oncologist who is not just one of the best in Albuquerque, but one of the top 10 oncologists in the nation. It turns out this super-doctor with his fancy cancer treatment is not covered by the HMO, and the out-of-pocket price is $90,000.

Basically, he wanted to go outside his insurance option.

@OrigamiRobot Oh, Art. <3

Chippies

@Sterno I don't remember exactly, but I though his insurance wasn't gonna cover anything

fredley

My next userscript is almost complete

Sterno

@Chippies You remember incorrectly. His insurance just wouldn't cover the high-end oncologist.

Chippies

there were other scenes before cancer where he said he didn't have insurance or that it doesn't cover whatever his issue was

Sterno

Just like Canadian health care probably wouldn't.

Chippies

6:53 PM

meh, all of this stuff happened within like 1 or 2 episodes, I don't remember details

Sterno

Well, this is dumb to argue about anyway. My problem with the image is that, IMO, it misunderstands the show to make a slightly funny but not terribly accurate joke.

fredley

It's a drag and drop image uploader for chat

It also doesn't auto-send the message when you upload

Meaning you can edit before you send!

Sterno

I agree with @OrigamiRobot that we should all talk about Justified.

Which means probably everyone in here except me and @OrigamiRobot need to go watch Justified.

Wipqozn

@Sterno I know that prescription medications aren't covered by the public healthcare system, so you do need to pay for certain parts of the cancer treatment.

Chippies

@Sterno I just... can't justify watching it...

Frank

@Sterno Yeah, that doesn't really interest me.

Sterno

I haven't watched Agent Carter yet because every preview makes it look awful. And this is coming from someone who likes Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Man, typing that out is painful

Chippies

I don't watch shows that aren't finished or at least on last season

I can't binge watch if I have to wait a week between episodes

Sterno

6:57 PM

@Chippies Justified is on the last season.

Previous seasons are all free with Amazon Prime

Chippies

is it on netflix?

Sterno

Not the last time I checked

Season 1 was a little uneven. Season 2 was pretty awesome.

Chippies

that's a big minus, it means I have to illegally download it and since I started using netflix, I've been quite lazy about doing that

MadMAxJr

I had to carefully explain the premise to Breaking Bad to some of my non-US friends who didn't understand why he couldn't just walk into a hospital and get proper care clear through the entire duration of the condition.

Agent Carter is entertaining, I just didn't expect it to be chock full of period-appropriate sexism.

Frank

@MadMAxJr It makes sense, though.

Sterno

7:00 PM

Stop talking about Breaking Bad. It's really bothering me that people honestly believe that nonsense meme.

MadMAxJr

It does, and Carter makes use of the situation to carry out her motives.

Frank

And it provides a rather good motivation, too.

We're on the same page.

MadMAxJr

I just didn't expect that sitting down to it the first time.
