More beard than personality.

I stream on Twitch and work in tech.

That's so cool! Awesome of you to choose a colo instead of a major cloud provider.

I built a sunrise alarm with Home Assistant and a Hue bulb, and it works, but it's just not the same.

Lmao, I did not proofread that at all, apparently. Splinter Cell :)

And fwiw, I would like to see more stealth too. I think they could have used it in some strategic scenes to minimize the slowdowns while still giving more Splinter Cell vibes. But I also think it's fine to tell a different story with the character.

I think it's easier to make content when you're passionate and interested in what you're making, and the content itself is better for it too.

And as a viewer, I'm more invested in the story when the creator seems to be.

I ended up making mine with Hugo and that means literally nothing fun works out of the box and it's somehow the most interested I've been working on a front end site in years.

I am very from NYC, but this is fucking rad of you to do.

Lethal difficulty has been brutal but fun so far.

Using key words and semi-tailored resumes will help get you past a screening too. And if you make it to an interview you can do some prep to fill any gaps that might have been lies.

Personality is 30-40% of my hiring process. If you won't gel with the team you probably aren't hired.

Usually you can embellish your duties quite a bit. Employment verification is usually just dates of employment and title. They may go over general duties but if you add some extra details it'll probably slip by.

I don't know how common it is to even call references or employment verification, tho.

Doing tests across all NA servers and most of them now seem to resolve to a central hub, US West, Central, etc.

They also generally seemed less performant with higher latency and jitter, even if they had decent bandwidth. I'm

I noticed this sometime last month when I started having issues. I was auto-connecting to LA and I noticed after I had issues I was connecting to just "US West". Manually specifying LA worked for maybe a week, but then that started getting routed to US West as well.

There's tons of filters on the site too, including whether someone is accepting new patients, and whether they offer sliding scale pricing.

I literally did this yesterday and it took less than 15 minutes to find someone that specializes in ADHD and set up a consult call.

I've been working on moving away from Adobe, but it's little things like automatic captioning or arrangable panels that are missing from Davinci that make it hard to commit.

Great work maintaining such a comprehensive list. Adobe is a garbage tier extortionate company.

KCD2 was/is my GotY so far, but I think if Abiotic sticks the landing it might take that honor.

I'm a big story enjoyer and it's hard for a survival game with less story to compete, but they just nailed the gameplay loop like no survival game I've played has.
