Super Squirrel

Somehow, I've managed to be lucky in that I haven't even had to take a Covid test yet.  I need to get a booster.  I tried to get one a few weeks ago, but the girl working the pharmacy counter couldn't figure out how to process my insurance card to recognize me as covered.  I haven't attempted to reschedule yet.

I attribute my luck to leveraging my current job role to a permanent WFH and keeping my social engagements to individuals who are responsible.  The closest call I had to exposure were at a LARP event where someone showed up with the 'VID that didn't let anyone know, but being an outdoor event, it was a low exposure risk.  I was lucky, two others at the event were not so lucky.

The wife and I were talking about this today.  She-Hulk has been the worst of the Disney+ marvel shows and the first I've struggled to watch.  This episode was a much, much needed relief.  The chemistry between the two was great and I actually really enjoyed the episode up until Daredevil left and it just dropped again.  Tatiana is spinning gold with what she's being given, but she isn't being given much to work with.

Here you go.  A portion of my Idoneth Deepkin army freshly magnetized.

”Computer science

There’s been an emphasis in recent years on computer science careers, but that focus has led to an oversaturation of computer science graduates compared to the number of jobs available. 

If you still want to get a computer science degree, find ways to make yourself stand out among other applicants such as internships and training or certification in specialized skills.”

Please tell me where these candidates are.  We can't seem to get any interest in a lot for the positions we have.

Here in Microsoft-and-Amazon Land, the Comp Sci degrees are in demand.  Otherwise the list doesn't really surprise me.  I admit to a powerful prejudice against Exercise Science, for reasons we've gone over before in this thread; I am not alone in those feelings.  As one Creative Writing instructor (!!) said, "Since when have you needed a bachelor's degree to become a playground monitor?"

I suppose it depends on the tech sector.  We don't care about degrees, only the certificates that you have.

Does my every growing expansion of Age of Sigmar models count as toys? 

Ex-girlfriend.  Broke up with her after she beat up my boss, Thanos.  That was before he nuked half the population.

The closest you got was granting me storm summoning powers.  I might have been responsible for Ivan.

You could easily say the last strike was effective.  I found an idle game and then disappeared for ten years.  That's pretty impressive.

I mean, if it ain't broke, why fix it?

Thank you.

All good.

So how are you?

Respectfully speaking, I'd rather that not be the case.

That is most unfortunate to hear.  I'm afraid to ask who because I honestly really love the people in this community.

Life got interesting for the last decade.  I could have sworn I came back here recently (in the last two years or so) and I poked my head in, but my post history suggests otherwise.

But yes, I'm alive and well.

Still going.  Good.

I found a kinda fun idle RPG game that I wanted to share: s2.sfgame.us/index.php?rec=59008

An Idle RPG basically involves setting your character on a quest or a task and waiting real time while everything is done automatically. You control buying weapons and armor and spending money to improve your statistics. These days when I have little time, low key games are all I can handle.

I created a guild. The guild benefit is straight forward. You can donate gold to the guild that is used to improve one of three features. You can improve your gold earning rate, exp earning rate, and the maximum size of your guild. I have a guild with 7 open spots +10% Gold and +2 XP. If anyone joins the game and is interested, give me your in game name and I'll invite.

Re: 6th Edition Books on eReader?

The issue is that I'm trying to find out how well they load to determine if the .pdf is a good investment or not. If I had a .pdf of one of the books, I could simply plug it in and load it up.

The best e-reader that I saw the 6e books on was the Kindle DX. Even then the display was slow and the ability to zoom in close was lacking. The Nook blows apart the PDF's formatting in favor of showing the text so ends up worthless for the display of PDF's like the 6e books.

 

I would recommend finding someplace that has a demo of the reader, loading the 6e books on a flash card and see how it performs.

 

So far the only reader like device that does a good job at Displaying the books is the iPad. The iPad allows gesture based zooming and scrolling of the books. It also switches very quickly to landscape mode for easier reading of the full page width. So far it's the only thing outside of a laptop that makes the PDF books actually usable/readable.

I have a Sony PRS-700 eReader. I love it. I've been thinking about picking up the 6th Edition books for my eReader but before I do so, I wonder if anyone has used them on the Sony eReader and, if so, how well do they load and display?

You act like you have a choice anymore.

Maybe this mook thing isn't for me, then.

Does being a mook come with a health plan?

Re: Longest Running Thread EVER

How about mook chef?

can i be chief mook?

Re: Longest Running Thread EVER

Perhaps a promotion is in order. I will see if the budget has room to raise you to the level of "Mook".

Re: Longest Running Thread EVER

Yeah. Gaming has all but disappeared from my life since the move. I tried to get into a LARPing group but that has started to become a big disappointment. Real life has really taken over things for me.

Re: Longest Running Thread EVER

A challenge appears!
