Tech recruiters really can be this dumb. I’ve been on both ends several times.

I remember hiring for a test dev, writing the description for the recruiter, I included all the things I’d like to see. Python, test automation experience, open source contributions etc (this was for a public facing repo).

I get back a question a day later asking if they need Java or not. That felt really out of place so I walked over and had a conversation. Turns out they were filtering out anyone who had more than requested. Python AND Java experience? No thank you.

On the upside once we ironed that out I ended up hiring two people I’ve been friends with for a decade+. Sometimes the recruiters just need help.

Now the other side of things…I’ve definitely had recruiters screw up and lose very good candidates, but it was always for stupid shit like they forgot to send the offer letter for a week or they accidentally put them in the “no” pile.

Heh, this one time we got a recruiter ping our team out of the blue saying they had a candidate. No one knew what the hell the position was for. Turns out the recruiters had forgot about a bunch of openings we had closed like a year before, they just never took down the postings. We asked him how he found the job, and the candidate said he manual went through the thousands of open positions until he found one that fit him. He hired him after the first round and he turned out to be awesome.

That’s just built in with extra steps.

please speak to a real doctor about your real symptoms. Imaginary doctors or other voices acting like doctors may or may not be appropriate avenues of discourse for this topic. Symptoms include explosive penis syndrome, explosive anus syndrome, acute reverse anthropomorphic dissociation, exploding head syndrome, “linguini finger”, pox, animal dysmorphia, pug eye, and shingles.

I’d have said the power to stop trains with tactile telekinesis. You’re a better person than me.

If it walks like a snake and quacks like a snake…

The “launcher” is probably one of those under barrel AR-15 attachments which is trivial to get (expensive and might also require the steps below, but that’s a one time thing).

The grenades though:

To legally purchase, make, or possess a Destructive Device (DD) you must:

Be 21+ years of age to purchase a DD from a dealer.

Be 18+ years of age to purchase a DD from an individual on a Form 4 to Form 4 transfer (contingent on state laws).

Be 18+ years of age to make and register a DD on a Form 1 (contingent on state laws).

Be 18+ years of age to possess a DD as a beneficiary of a trust or as a member of a corporation (contingent on state laws).

Be a resident of the United States.

Be legally eligible to purchase a firearm.

Pass a BATFE background check.

Pay a one-time $200 tax to register or transfer the item.

Reside in a state that currently allows ownership of DD’s.

And you have to do the forms and pay the $200 for each grenade individually.

Have you never seen the size of roaches in Texas? And they fly!

Presumably the other 2/3’rds are operational. Presumably.

We’ll have to see how much of their previous pace they can keep up. In any case, every military that can, keeps some things in reserve. What’s the likelihood that the ones in storage are still there and not gutted for parts that got sold for vodka?

You have to be careful, most heads are covered by only a veneer of hard outer shell before you hit the gooey center. Find someone with experience. Head resizing is very much a “you just have to have a feel for it” kind of art, not an exact science.

I think he was more himself on that holodeck than he’s ever been with a real woman, but I’m not sure that helps my case that he’s not a creep 😆

Aww but he wasn’t a creep, he was just genuinely really bad at understanding women and communication in a relationship. Shit, Data got more action.

Laforge : I just don’t get it, Guinan. I can field-strip a fusion reactor; I can realign a power transfer tunnel. Why can’t I make anything work with a woman like Christy? It’s like… I don’t know what to do. I don’t know what to say.

Guinan : You’re doing fine with me.

Laforge : You’re different.

Guinan : No, you’re different.

Laforge : But I’m not trying now.

Guinan : That’s my point.

1. Fuck those people for telling you this after you did the work
2. Those reasons are hard-stop stupid. If they REALLY cared about the marketing they’d release it silently or add a “improvements to image format handling” line and leave it at that.
