Where's phosphoric acid? That's the OG teeth solvent.

Don't know why you're being downvoted. Some of the more recent memes have been very disruptive. Between the McDonald's Szechuan sauce freak outs and Minecraft's Chicken Jockey food fights it causes a lot of headaches for the poor people who have to clean up their mess. I'm not aware of any violent reactions to this number yet though.

One of my old jobs had a pallet full of perfectly good PSUs, o-scopes, H bridges, and a bunch of miscellaneous data cables. They were all gonna be trashed either because their projects were cancelled or had a minor flaw they didn't want to fix. My buddies and I rescued a bunch of equipment before the company padlocked it. My advice is be discreet. Companies hate it when people recover shit they throw out whether it be perfectly good equipment or food.

This is why America has no future. Its people will drive it into the fucking ground thanks to the corporate propaganda machine and conservative culture.

You bring up a good point with culture and expectations. The job required occasional unpaid overtime since it's a salaried position.

 

I just finished a preliminary interview for a medium sized engineering company. The interviewer was impressed with my background and asked to proceed with my candidacy but wanted four additional rounds of interviews and a 30 minute technical presentation about how I solved a problem. I turned them down and said I don't work for free, the amount of time it would take to gather my notes and thoughts on a slide deck would be too much. She quickly soured and we ended the call soon after. I feel like I dodged a bullet going through a gauntlet of work for the high chance of ending up with nothing.

What are Lemmy's thoughts on preparing presentations for lengthy job interview processes? Would you have considered going through with it?

The US uses up the entirety of the Colorado River. It's an arid riverbed by the time it reaches the Mexican border. These water treaties need to be overhauled before wars start over them.

You leftists sure are a contentious people.

Short answer: it depends. I used to attend Anime Expo every year but it got so big that lines became unbearable. Most interesting panels tend to be overcrowded so good luck getting in unless you want to sacrifice time for other things and get in line really early. The vendors can be cool where you can find some unique and hard to find merch but it takes a lot of walking past booths that have a lot of the same things. That said, the bigger festivals have the most interesting things to see and do just know going in you won't be able to do everything you want.

I've mostly been sticking to smaller conventions and have been having fun despite the smaller scale. Tickets are way cheaper too. Maybe try a smaller event to see if you like the vibe.

No I thought he said "I dicked him good" rather than "I fucked him up".

Verga in Mexican Spanish means dick. But depending where you're from it could also mean to beat someone up. Imagine my surprise when I overheard a Central American coworker say "me lo verge bien" and I was thinking he fucked another guy.

Go one step further and ask why they're wearing clothes. What are they hiding in their pants they're so ashamed of?
