Time to apply to new jobs! Any resources you all would recommend for US/Canada Softwares?
start playing video games 8-16 hours a day
er, wait
I would like to know the secrets of getting paid for playing vidya and watching movies all day.
buy facecam
start streaming regularly for multiple hours a day
???
start getting enough money you can live off of, maybe
Felix Kjellberg, a 25 year-old who makes YouTube videos under the alias “PewDiePie,” reached a new high this year when the Swedish newspaper Expresen reported he made $7 million in 2014.
yeah but realistically are you going to be making pewdiepie money
or, indeed, money at all
I talked to a guy a pax who was one of those mid-tier youtubers
maybe like a half million subs?
he said he was grossing maybe 8k a month
which is nice until you think about
that's gross, minus all them taxes for self-employment
also the inherent instability of the job
oh and he basically does nothing but make videos and edit videos
not really a golden ticket
yes but was he making 5 - 10 minute videos aimed at 6 - 8 year olds?

I imagine you have the drain issue covered by now, but I just want to reinforce what not to use: don't use any kind of supermarket Drano or Liquid Plumber. Those products are sodium hydroxide (lye) based, which means they have a high pH, which means they do nothing to dissolve limestone. Worse, if they accumulate in your pipe they'll neutralize any acid you later pour down the drain.
What you could try is an acidic product. There are hydrochloric acid (usually called "muriatic acid") drain cleaner products available at some hardware stores. You would need to dilute these or they can etch your sink/shower basin or even damage your pipes. You can also get "ph-down" products for swimming pools. These are usually just phosphoric acid or an acidic salt like sodium bisulfate.
If you try one of these products, use safety precautions. Use gloves and eye protection, dilute them in glass containers before pouring down the drain. Err on the side of more dilution, and rinse everything thoroughly.
every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.
Yeah, I realize in retrospect my question should have been "How do I get paid to enjoy vidya and movies all day?"
oh that's easy

Apparently I still can set up a basic DHCP server in Windows. Got to say, that is way less fucking painful then the last time I did it. Which was in NT4.
Oh nice. I was waiting on Lost Odyssey to be backwards compatible. Blue Dragon was fun but man was the VO work reeeeeaaaalllly tough to listen to... even for a JRPG.
Blue Dragon basically punches you in the face with how JRPG it is. I really liked it, but it's an almost exaggerated caricature of the genre.
Lost Odyssey is peak form and is terrific for anyone interested in story-driven RPGs.
yes, the creator of the hit film Sausage Party is going to lead a roundtable of straight white cis men in a discussion of how to avoid ethnic stereotypes

Yeah, and, I mean.. People who want to make sure they don't fall into creating ethnic stereotypes talking about how best not to do so? Seems absolutely correct.

how are things going
They're ok. I still work too hard, and I'm tired and stressed, and while I'm gonna be happy to be home for Christmas, I'm going to miss Querry. I'm also falling apart (wait, maybe things aren't ok) because of the stress of grad school, not having an idea for my dissertation, and wanting to be done, how are you?
frustrated and unhappy. have been feeling therapy is pointless and that i'm making no progress. emailed therapist yesterday to ask what the plan is - since i understand the broad goal of being happy / not unhappy, but not the intermediate goals or functional steps i should be taking. she threw it back on me, basically saying i should be working through the CBT book/workbook she recommended to me, but i don't find that a satisfying answer since i could work through those without spending hundreds of dollars a month on therapy
have been very unproductive at work last couple of weeks and feel very guilty about that since i just got huge % raise. am broadly worried about other people seeing how i live and concern that i won't appear to be a functional human being in january. news is constantly depressing but i generally avoid it and don't really believe i'll be directly affected by anything that happens.
i feel i've been getting better at SFV tho so that's +++v important

i don't really understand the specifics of grad school, having not gone through it myself and only hearing about my brother's experiences 2nd-hand. from what i know about my brother's situation, it's taken him a long time (he's in his 6th? year) and there were parts where he thought he wasn't going to get the ph.d in the end, although it is now looking like he'll get it and probably have a company wanting to hire him immediately to continue his research. this is, not, perhaps, a very helpful thing to bring up, but i think that the experience of being unsure that things will work out is likely common, and that things can often look like they aren't going to work out for the longest time - and then suddenly things click, your research gets results and then the path forward becomes pretty clear.
also important to remember that even if grad school things do not work out in the end, it is not the end of the world.
i can't speak on relationships in any meaningful way. my understanding is you already do video calls on the regular, and I would think that'd help, but I'd also suppose there's no substitute for physical presence. I guess just try to remember that this is going to be a temporary thing (i understand you are beginning to look into moving in together?) and hope that helps you muddle through. @Shivahn

if you're in the flit you should be doin' robbery crimes. lots of crimes.
i stole a bunch of paintings for the one leader guy, then arranged them in a fantastic arrangement!
now i have the option of repeating that quest again
it just seems really frustrating to work on raising your shadowy in the flit without helpful quests that give you a lot of points for completion like in the earlier areas
like yeah, i get you want to heist over and over but my shadowy isn't at a point where i can comfortably expect successes so what happens is I burn a lot of actions because each step in preparing for a heist takes 3 per and i may or may not be successful because even with a shadowy in the mid-70s i still only have like a 60% chance to succeed - and failure does nothing to improve your progress in heisting
meanwhile when i was doing stuff in Watchmaker's hill there were like 3 quests i could do there that substantially raised my dangerous stat

Totally forget. All I remember is going in there before finishing the game and getting mad lost on this moving grid puzzle thing. I gave up and when I came back I couldn't find my way out. Also there were fucking fights that took a good minute or two for every 30 seconds of wandering.
producing and editing 3 5-10 minute videos a week is probably a 60+ hour a week job
you're better off getting boob implants and going on twitch
Didn't they ban that Zoie Burger from Twitch recently? The one who played CoD in a new bikini each day.
First, googling that doesn't turn up great results. Second, I think Twitch has been trying to ban anything explicitly sexual or sensual, so streamers who twerk are probably on the way out.

@SniperGuy
Your prior post mentioned getting some networking books you also mentioned Active Directory.
Which are you more interested in, and what are your current skills? Do you have any experience either doing networking or Active Directory support?

more shit opens up as your shadowy quality gets higher. I think you also might need a quality from doing area diving in spite but I forget.
