These days I'm happily employed with a company that offers decent everything, but that wasn't always the case. For those out there who are frustrated with terrible recruiters, I'll share the worst recruitment experience I ever had while looking for an entry level job in IT, back in around 2014 or so.

It started with the usual cold email and a voicemail from a semi sketchy temp agency represented by a heavily accented Indian man. But I was desperate and the agency was US based and in my region so I was willing to give it a shot.

He asked for and received my current resume, and within a day came back with a first screening interview for a local company that needed someone for helpdesk suppor

I just loaded up the new Rocketry beta update, got a new colony started, did some digging, etc. New content looks great. But...

I'm running into some serious problems with Storage and Tidy jobs. Despite Tidy and Deliver being at highest priority for hauler dupes, compactors set to high priority, and high priority sweep jobs, dupes are preferring literally anything else instead, and choosing to idle 60-70% of the time when no other option presents itself.

As I type, Hauler Jean with max priority Tidy, Deliver, and Supply, and lowest but not disabled Dig is ignoring priority 9 sweep jobs and compactors with priority 9 all items enabled compactors in order to mine a priority 1 block of rock.

Typically in this style of game, you build A, which helps you acquire B and makes life easier, which enables you build C, which helps you acquire D which makes life easier, so on and so forth. Make stone pick, mine bronze, smelt bronze, make bronze pick, mine iron ->etc. You all know the drill.

The progression on this game seems really odd in comparison. You’re starting environment is incredibly easy going, supplying you with free food, water, oxygen, meat on legs, flying light bulbs, crop seeds, and everything else required to build a totally self-contained colony. And it's not like anyone's complaining about the food either, as you can make +1 grilled berries in the starting biome.

So I'm guessing more than a few other people have had problems with conquering a new vassal or tributary, but being heavily locked out of their content because during the war they claimed most of your systems, leading to a negative bajillion permanent diplomacy factor. But never fear, butcher shop surgery fix is here!

If you go to your D:\Program Files (x86)\Stellaris Apocalypse\common\opinion_modifiers folder, the file 00_opinion_modifiers.txt file dictates what level of impact each action has on diplomacy.

So if you want them to not hate your guts purely because of claims, change the value of

#Claims opinion modifier opinion_their_claims = {

opinion = {

base = -5

unique = yes

They seem to offer the same downsides to tech and tradition (per the tooltip) as standard colonies to, but they only get 16 spaces per habitats. And with tech penalties no longer being related to population but purely planets/systems, I'm having a hard time understanding why I would bother with them.

Sure they get an interest 2/2/2 research building building, but from an overall standpoint it provides the same total research as any other lv 3 research lab. And from a standpoint of overall output per colony, it seems significantly less than any old terraformed planet of decent size.

Why would I want to use habitats instead of normal 20-25 tile terraformed planets?

I'm a bit new to this, sorry if it's a bit of a stupid question.

I recently picked up an old Dell server, tried Proxmox and found it a bit overwhelming for someone without significant Linux experience. Wiped it, tried the free version of ESXI and found it far too limiting. Seriously, I can't even clone a VM?

What I did like was the easy simplicity of the Windows guest clients in ESXI. I'd like to use this to work on a Windows Server certificate and Proxmox makes it a bit difficult to understand what's required to make Windows guest WM's work as well as possible.

So the question is : If I reduce the hdsize of the Proxmox hypervisor during installation to a portion of the HDD, is it possibl

Preface: I’m about to graduate with an AAS and my CCNA, in a town not known for its high tech tendencies, but where I need to stay for a few years due to family issues. So job quality has been a concern.

I'm sure all of us have seen or hoped to see one before. A job advertisement that perfectly matches what you want to do, where you want to work, asking for your exact qualifications. Today I found mine.

There it was. 30 hours a week, part time junior Systems Administrator position. No experience required.

A bit of helpdesk, a bit of hardware deployment, a bit of Windows Servers 2012. Cisco shop, CCNA preferred, AAS degree desired, students welcome, flexible hours. 19$/hour to start. Pos

r/MTGO•

So I'm back to trying MTGO after not playing online since mid 2013. I recall playing a lot of cheap phantom drafts for 4-6 event tickets but lousy payouts, and was looking forward to doing so again.

But as far as I can tell, that option is entirely removed, and I cannot find any definitive source on if it ever even existed.

Is (excluding new player drafts) Phantom draft even a thing anymore at all, or am I forever doomed to either played phantom sealed (ew) or cough up 10-12$ for normal draft?

Or am I completely hallucinating my previous phantom draft experiences?

On May 22 (Friday before Memorial Day here in the US) I placed an order with Superbiiz for 850$ worth of mobo, processor, cooler, paste and video card.

Their site advertised 1-2 day order processing, but five business days later my order was still in "processing" and no charges had been made to my account.

On the sixth business day, I called up and asked what was holding my order up, and the sale representative told me the following (no joke).

"Your order is on hold because we can't find part of your order. It says it's in stock, but it's not, and it may or may not be on backorder, but I don't know, and I don't have an ETA on when it may show up or if it ever will. Call back tomorrow and

Will pay via Paypal per sidebar

No stock cooler needed

Source store does not matter since the deal seems to be at many/all Microcenter locations.

No direct product link I could see, bundle page was the closest at http://www.microcenter.com/site/brands/intel-processor-bundles.aspx#

Bundle is listed as "One per household", don't know how much of an issue that is but figured I had better post it upfront.

Thanks for the help, the saving compared to just about anywhere else is a bit crazy.
