The cesspit / chat thread.

@wlanboy if you don't mind me asking, who is it that you're hiring for? (& why so cynical!?)

My employer is hireing. Cynical based on the last 7 job interviews I was part of. One canceling the interview 3 hours befor the regular start time, and the others not prepared for anything.
Not knowing anything about the company they want to work for or what they did - basically not knowing what they wrote in their own résumé.
Current stats: 2 appointed and 8 WTF out of 10.

Oh. Well, I can see why you might not want to name your employer, then!

Am I the only one who thinks that asking for money on Facebook is in really poor taste?
I didn't ask anyone for a hand-out when I set up my kit... but meh, I dunno, it just seems.... off.

Not really I do not like the asking for money thing period. I get it that some organizations need donations and that is fine, but for individuals I am kind of put off about it. I don't have squat for money and could use more just to live on, but I am not going to ask for it. I will find another way to do it if I can. I spend vary sparingly on VPS, and have to watch my bills closely but my wife and I make out okay most of the time.

It's like this.  I had a coworker/friend at the Kroger Western NOC when I was there in my 20s... we'd hang out after work, drink coffee, go out for a beer or something.  Then I got promoted to a level 3 analyst, he was passed over but got his spot the second time around.  A few months later I got the job as a NOC manager for XpressBet and gave my notice.  Suddenly he stopped talking to me, we reconnected once, five years later. He had a kid and was trying to sell me insurance.  After that I never heard from him, until recently on FB when he started spamming out his GoFundMe/whatever URL so he could make a religious CD....just seemed kinda tacky.

That reminds me... I wonder if my Horse Racing license is still good...?

Was nice to leak like that... self leak.

Who do we see in there...   I see Aaron Clint (Aim2Game),  Tony Pollard (Cheapwindowsvps)...

I see CVPS Reseller... which strikes me as damn strange, since the other house reseller HVH is clearly listed under Ernie's name...

The other screens leaked more

Speaking of NASA, why is it taking them so long to release the new Pear Earth photoshops?

NASA says the earth is slightly pear shaped
"The Earth Is Not Round" Neil deGrasse Tyson talks with 92Y
pear shaped like earth in 55 seconds

...& how long until the planet returns to its true mango form?

Hey, at least the Mars Curiosity Rover movie was within LET's price range.

The best part about coming home when you've been out of town for days is enjoying your own and familiar bathroom.

True, but for me it's the bedroom.  Not a fan of hotel beds or imagining people who used to to conceive some demon spawn before I got anywhere near the thing.  

Camping ... that I get.  A couple years ago I spent three days at the Columbia River Gorge for a DMB concert and the next three days in the spa scrubbing off the soap from all the Clorox wipes I went through.  Guess I'm just not much of an outdoor geek..  I needs the central A/C
