The Bridge

I need a job.

So, the interviewer said he'd get back to me on Monday. It's Friday. Safe to say I didn't get the job?

I sent an email on Tuesday also. No reply.

I don't get why people can't just up and say "No, you didn't get the job".

user15026

@Yuuki Hm. I would likely assume you didn't get it, but maybe call them if you have that sort of contact info just to check?>

Q: How do you purge taint?

I realize that tainted regions are important for certain things in Thaumcraft, but I hate that it spreads so voraciously. I've tried placing a ring of cobblestone around it to contain the area, but it inevitably spreads to new areas and I have constant damage control going on. I don't want to d...

@Yuuki Because people are lazy/assholes

user15026

@Yuuki This was the thing that frustrated me most in my 4 months of unemployment. You just wanna know, and no one tells you.

It wouldn't bother me if someone rejected my application. What annoys me is this Limbo.

@Yuuki Because people don't want to deal with, "So why didn't I get it?"

user15026

@Frank Yeah, well, that sucks. :P

@AshleyNunn It really does, because you never get any feedback on what you can do to improve your chances.

user15026

1:09 PM

Precisely!

user15026

It made me SO frustrated

I was stuck in that frustrating cycle myself after college.

It was a catch 22 for everything, as nobody was willing to take me on.

About a week ago i bought a BIgBen XHS10 headset for the XBOX 360.

xbox-360

@Frank I think many can't even give you proper feedback as to why they didn't choose you.

Still, knowing that you didn't get the job would be nice.

@5pike Most of it is just, "We liked someone else better"

Jutschge

1:11 PM

I wrote about 57 applications for my internship... 54 never replied, 2 didn't tell me why I didn't get it and 1 hired me^^

I can thank one of the interviewers at my current job for my position, as he really liked me. And I had barely even met him.

@Frank Yeah, and that someone is under-qualified and works for less...

@5pike Sometimes. A little bit of luck is involved, too.

But just like getting rejected for a date, anyone who doesn't hire you, it's their loss.

@Frank Yeah, I know. I got some rejection, because I was "to old". I was 22 at that time.

That attitude comes through in the interview.

1:13 PM

Even if the reason is "We hated you", at least that'd be confirmation one way.

@5pike My very first job was answering phones.

And the interviewer told me, "Just wear jeans! We're casual here!"

I still talk to that person. She's got amazing people skills.

user15026

@Frank Doesn't make either thing suck any less.

@Frank I wear a bandshirt at all times at work. Client meeting or not.

user15026

I know I am awesome, I don't need them to validate that, I need them to PAY me for it :D (or cuddle me, depending on which one it is)

Some other interview ended up dead because I refused to wear a suit every day.

1:15 PM

@AshleyNunn No, it doesn't. Getting rejected for anything sucks balls.

@Arperum She specifically told me this for when I came in for the interview.

And I still wore formal clothes, because I had an earlier interview somewhere else that day.

@Frank I dunno, I think some draftees in the previous wars would disagree with you there.

So I got to apologize for wearing a dress shirt. :P

user15026

@Arperum My job is awesome - I can wear whatever i am comfortable in.

@Frank Fancy, I've done all (2 of them) interviews I've done in bandshirt.

user15026

So my nerd-shirts and jeans are totally my uniform of choice.

1:17 PM

@Arperum ... I wouldn't mind wearing a suit everyday.

I like suits. They look nice.

@Yuuki They're also expensive to maintain.

Problem is, I live in the South so wearing suits isn't all that much fun.

@Yuuki I don't. they limit my movement.

user15026

@Yuuki eeergh, no. I hate formal clothes, I always feel so restricted in them

I can wear whatever I want. It's nice, but I wouldn't mind wearing a suit. I like suits.

1:17 PM

@AshleyNunn This.

@AshleyNunn All clothes are too restricting.

user15026

@Arperum I have some SUPER pretty girlstuff but i am like AAAAAA no can't move cant breathe cant anything and what if I spill on it

@AshleyNunn Huh. I know I overheat in them, but they don't usually restrict my movement.

user15026

@OrigamiRobot well, yes, but they won't let me on the bus naked

The endresult is that I don't wearformal clothing ever.

1:18 PM

@AshleyNunn It's probably because you got them standardized.

@AshleyNunn Also, warmth.

user15026

@Frank I suspect mine don't either, I suspect a lot of it is my sensory stuff being scramble-ized

user15026

@Yuuki No, even my custom fit stuff makes me crazy

@Frank Even if they don't restrict your movement, they restrict your soul.

user15026

I have some stuff made specifically for my ridiculous bodyshape and I still hate it

1:19 PM

@OrigamiRobot Not really; my soul is in my dancing, and that comes out nice and clear.

user15026

@OrigamiRobot amen, robot.

I got lucky and had a family friend who was a tailor fit my first suit for me. It felt like I was just wearing a t-shirt and jacket, no restriction at all.

Which reminds me; I still have to order a custom fitted suit.

@Frank It would be clearer with no pants.

@OrigamiRobot No, no it would not.

1:19 PM

I am somewhat sensitive to clothes touching my neck. I can't even have a long beard :( Because once it gets to a length where it frequently touches my throat, I feel like I have to throw up al the time.

user15026

I just don't like skirts

user15026

@Arperum oh man, neck-touching things are almost as bad as feet prisons

@AshleyNunn Random note: my sister keeps trying to get me to wear skirts.

@Frank You poor deluded man.

@OrigamiRobot Unlike you, I don't mind pants.

user15026

@Yuuki They can be fun, I am just chubby so my thighs rub and I haven't really found a super yay multipurpose solution to that yet

user15026

and I get tired of trying to figure it out on a skirt by skirt basis :P

I also buy my tshirts always XL, even if an L fits too. Because I like it when I can move.

@OrigamiRobot Unlike you, I don't mind pants.

1:21 PM

@AshleyNunn I'm sure they can be fun. Problem is, I'm a guy. And not an Scottish guy.

You don't mind them because you are deluded.

@OrigamiRobot The same could be said about you.

@OrigamiRobot We're on the Bridge. Everyone's deluded.

@Frank The same could be said of anyone as long as I have control of my vocal cords.

user15026

@Yuuki I know some dudes who rock skirts. Depends what you feel comfortable presenting yourself in, I suppose. Not all things are for all people. (See above, me being a girl and not wanting to dress in skirts and things. Also hating socks.)

When I log into FTB any use any of the new mod-packs, e.g. FTB Monster or Agrarian Skies starting up the menu all works fine until I try to create new world or log into a server.

@OrigamiRobot I'll just post a picture of me in a suit, and that will invalidate all your arguments.

@AshleyNunn I think it's more of the fact my sister keeps pushing me to cross-dress. And that she insists I cross-dress for her first con.

@Frank What does that have to do with whether pants or no pants is better?

I have no clue where she got that idea.

user15026

@Yuuki Who knows. :P

1:24 PM

@Yuuki My bet is on animes

@5pike That's for sure. But why me?

Am I a pretty girl?

user15026

@Yuuki You're available?

inb4 stars.

@Yuuki You're her sibling, an easy victim.

I've seen enough men at festivals/concerts running around in a skirt.

@Yuuki Do you want to be a pretty girl?

1:25 PM

does anybody know how to get out of desktop chat on ios

@Arperum Not particularly. I honestly don't really care.

@OrigamiRobot Because it invalidates all your arguments, logic be damned.

My arguments are always valid when it comes to pants.

1. They are the worst.
2. Seriously. Awful.

pls halp

@GnomeSlice I have no clue what desktop chat is.

1:27 PM

@Yuuki non-mobile chat I assume.

^

i want to get back to mobile chat

user15026

@GnomeSlice try to zoom into the bottom right corner, and tap the "mobile" link?

user15026

It's super tricky, but doable (done it on my android)

ack, zooming dowsnlt let you scroll horizontslly on ios

also that link appears to be off the bottom of my screen i can just see the top

Hey guys, I'm using ChatSEy right now

fredley

Hang on a sec while I develop an ios version and submit it to Apple

@GnomeSlice Not gonna work, there is some javascript going on.

1:33 PM

user15026

No problem :)

so I am maybe moving out

i have enough money to afford a few months at my dad's friend's spare room

but I would have access to buses and shit

@GnomeSlice This is not that tricky - lemme know, I can always toss you a few of my favourite super easy "oh dear god what am I doing aaaa cooking is hard" recipes. And there's always KD! :D

1:39 PM

I've done some fancy things with ramen.

user15026

yeah, KD and ramen are both good for editing :D

I won a free laptop from work

I just did some shrimp fried rice a few days ago. I sauteed the shrimp first with butter and leftover spicy ramen flavoring.

@OrigamiRobot May I send my resume for your company ?

@OrigamiRobot :P

@Michel His contribution are proof that he is correct </sarcasm>

user15026

1:40 PM

@OrigamiRobot Very nice :)

user15026

@Yuuki mmm yum

@Michel Morning! How goes?

It's old and the battery only lasts 20 minutes, but it's free.

@Frank !!!! Going well ... tired as hell T_T

@Frank you? and the models?

It also have 32-bit Vista on it :(

user15026

1:46 PM

@OrigamiRobot :(

When I went to claim it, the IT guy was installing updates.

I was like "Oh, you didn't have to do that. I'm putting 7 on there anyway."

In other news, we've managed to get a point where Google now has just enough public transportation data that it's worse than having no data at all

There are hourly trains taking you there in 40 minutes or so, but Google doesn't know.

user15026

@OrigamiRobot My work laptop is a machine I got from my dad, it was running XP and a bunch of weird mechanic related bits. I looked at it, and then threw win7 on it. It runs well enough for my needs. :P

user15026

@badp Ick. :(

@AshleyNunn For reference Google estimates you can walk from point A to point B in 3h 50

user15026

1:56 PM

@badp oh dear.

@Michel Just about done the Banshee.

More importantly. Who the fuck calls a bus "052953"

The holographic paint part is done, just need to panel line, re-assemble, and then gloss until it shines.

I suppose it's a rather soothing shade of blue if it was a hex color

StrixVaria

Papers, Please is still only $5 and you should still get it.

2:05 PM

@StrixVaria This times a million.

Who wouldn't call their busses based on their hex colors?

@Frank Don't forget the photos! xD

2 days ago, by Frank

@Frank That is your painting ? O.O

@Michel Yeah, the pieces weren't orange enough for me.

And now they're a nice, deep orange, and have some cool holographic effects going on, too.

2:10 PM

somebody star strixs papers please thing for me

nvm

@Frank You are awesome!! * - *

@Michel I dunno; I didn't come up with this stuff. I just took the idea and used it.

@Frank =X but it's a good idea indeed xD

brb boss around

xD

2:26 PM

Damn near passed out from all the fumes, though. I need to ventilate better.

@Frank I do all my painting outside.

I use my garage with all the doors open.

@OrigamiRobot Yeah, I'm gonna need to do that or something. Find a table or something to use for that.

Or buy a ventilator, or set up on my stove, as I have the range hood right there.

@Chippies On the other hand, extensions with malware-like behavior still regularly make it onto Chrome's web store

@Chippies Linux :P

@badp I'll pass on that offer :P

@Frank Outside has the added benefit of not being at risk of ruining other stuff.

@OrigamiRobot That's what my ghetto spray booth is for.

2:36 PM

@Chippies can't you still use them in developer mode, though?

@3ventic I'm not sure if I can re-add them in developer mode, but simply by enabling developer mode still doesn't let me re-enable the extensions

they're grayed out

You could switch to opera..

@3ventic I used to use Opera, before they switched to Chromium engine

Me too

I also am really used to the fact that chrome runs every tab in diff process

makes everything million times more stable

it was the most annoying thing in opera when you open some shitty website that crashes the whole thing

in chrome if anything crashes/freezes, it's just one tab

2:39 PM

@Chippies not always..

@3ventic not always, but I haven't had chrome crash in a long long long time

although I do get freezing tabs quite often

not to mention I have 20+ tabs open at all times

when opera switched to chromium, it lost most of what I loved about it

16 tabs pinned in Chrome

like, being super lightweight and responsive

and Idk if it's still an issue since the switch to chromium, but opera has always had a lot of compatibility issues with many websites

@PrivatePansy Wow. My son is going to love this.

it seems to have issues with some tables

2:43 PM

and I know that it's because Opera is safe and actually follows standards and regulations, but it's still annoying to have to use another browser just for some websites

i's actually how I switched to chrome

every time opera wouldn't display a site properly, I would run chrome

eventually I had chrome running all the time

and eventually I stopped running opera at all

Firefox is the browser that follows standards closely nowadays..

seems to be anyway

I don't know if I'll ever use firefox

I "upgraded" from firefox to opera

I use it when I need to test stuff through a proxy

it's the only major browser that allows its own proxy settings

TZHX

@3ventic this is the reason I use firefox, also.

IE, Opera and Chrome follow Windows's proxy settings

2:46 PM

if I had access to a proxy and it mattered to me, I'd probably use firefox as well :)

I stopped using Opera when they removed proxy settings

@3ventic I'm guessing it was when they switched to chromium?

possibly

it's when the settings menu turned into a web page instead of a popout form thingy that IE has

@Chippies It's about 90F out. I'm using Fahrenheit because it seems hotter that way.

@SaintWacko and by that you mean a subscription

@OrigamiRobot No. The game costs $60. Then there's a subscription to pay for

What? There's an initial fee and a sub fee?

That is stupid.

So greedy.

@OrigamiRobot Yeah, it sucks :(

Which is why I want to try it first

I don't know anyone who has it, though

That would make me not even want to try it.

That's bad business IMO

@OrigamiRobot that's what almost every MMO does.

@SaintWacko I completely lost interest when I saw their pricing model.

most MMOs charge you for the game even though they charge you a sub.

Which sucks since it looked like a pretty good game.

@StrixVaria Yeah, everything I've read says that it's a really well-made game

Although $60 is more than usual I think. Most MMOs are normally around $40 or less.
