Watching the Nope trailer, I feel like Jordan Peele may be attempting the M. Night Shyamalan career speed run. I don’t have good reason to think it will be stupid, but my Spidey-sense is tingling. General Dog fucked around with this message at 20:00 on Feb 13, 2022 |

Also, I'm a little sus on that there's no back door for the food service part of the store. Everywhere I worked and everywhere I visit on the reg has a separate back door just to move the trash out of the store without going through the shopping area of the store.

Peele has been putting out a weird energy with his work. Get Out was great. New Twilight Zone was awful. Then there's Us. Is Us any good? I've seen the movie but for some reason that didn't answer the question for me.

Us gets kind of muddled towards the end, but I also think I like it overall more than Get Out, just because of the greater level of ambition.

The Audubon and BirdNET apps make it so much easier to identify something than 20 years ago when it was looking it up in one of two books depending on which side of the Mississippi you were on. Saw a little guy on the side of a tree when I was filling our feeder yesterday, and thought it might have been an immature Nuthatch by the side and behavior. Told the Audubon app it was small, brown, and tree-clinging, and it was like, oh, in Minnesota in February? Nah, that's a Brown Creeper.

Brilliant moments, ambitious scope, great acting from everyone but the kids, and I even loved the hands across America bit. For some reason none of that added together for me as a coherent whole. It's been a few years so I should probably just watch it again and see if the audience was the problem.

I have a phone interview with a company that's ESOP. It's the first thing mentioned in their "about us", so I'm guessing it's going to be presented as a selling point. Is it actually something I should be enticed by?

I strongly suspect that depends on the particulars. Get as many details as you're able about their plan then hit up the long term investing thread.

One of the most annoying things about a lot of different apartments that doesn't get talked about enough imo is having coax ports in the exact wrong spot so it fucks up what should be the ideal furniture arrangement and makes wiring everything a pain in the rear end. God, hiring movers was such a good decision though.

I solved this by running my own coax along the baseboard to where I wanted it, and putting down a cable protector along the threshold where it crossed in front of a door.

CannonFodder posted:That's actually a part of the book. Lol, I’ve actually been reading through Moby Dick lately as a don’t-just-read-junk/minor New Years resolution effort, it’s way more readable and entertaining than I would’ve assumed. Not exactly light or quick reading, but also fairly accessible and engaging, and the occasional awesome bit like “chapter all about how whales are incontrovertibly fish and not mammals, as demonstrated by my presenting the opposing arguments to my two random buddies and letting them decide”

Is it actually something I should be enticed by? All depends on how it's paid out. If they give you a five year vesting period then I'd say no. I'd want that poo poo immediately in my hands or at least no more than a year (since you probably wouldn't be looking for a new job before then anyway). My old company had ESOP and we couldn't touch it unless we worked there 5 years. Not a percentage every year, but literally if you leave before 5 years every penny they have you is gone.

The Subway in my local Walmart is at the front of the store and doesn't have a "rear entrance" so to speak.

5 years vesting to obtain ownership of employer contributions is all I've ever known. It sucks but seems to be the standard. I've only worked real jobs in the public or pseudo public sector so maybe that informs my experience.

It's an ultimately flawed and plot hole type concept but it's pretty well executed even if it does come apart a little at the end. It's still pretty entertaining and genuinely creepy in bits. Peele's probably in that place where a lot of writer/directors end up where they break out with some good stuff and then the leash comes off and without that little extra control keeping them reigned in they get a little out there with their product and it ultimately suffers. Looking at Christopher Nolan here. That said Nope will still probably be pretty cool. Also after seeing a lot Daniel Kaluuya lately in various things I've come to the conclusion that rather than him being an effective if understated performer the dude actually just can't act.

Stock options should always be considered a possible bonus and not part of your actual compensation calculation. Same with stock purchase plans. If you're happy with the salary, health plan, retirement plan (401k etc.) and other benefits, then stock options could be a differentiator vs. some other company with the same compensation but no options plan. But don't actually accept less money or benefits just because there's options. I had PUPs (not really options) at my first company; it went busto and I got nothing. I had actual ESPP options at my second company, which was already post-IPO when I got hired. The company stock languished, and ultimately during negotiations to be acquired, my company issued a new batch of class A shares to the execs (diluting the common shares) and then accepted a buyout that mostly paid off the class A shares and the common shares went for a small premium over current market value. I had exercised in-the-money shares, paying $1.25 per share at a time when the stock was higher than that (that was the benefit), but I wanted to hold them for at least 2 years because at that time, you paid income tax on the discount you got for the shares if you sold them within 2 years even if you sold them at a loss and by the time the company was acquired, the price had tanked and I received $1.03 per share. So I lost several hundred dollars, and only lost that little because as a lowly jr. level tech writer I hadn't had a very large grant. Lost of my co-workers lost thousands. Congress eventually fixed that nasty catch-22 years later, now if you sell your shares at a loss you don't have to pay tax on the difference between your purchase price and the market price at the time of the grant, even if it's been less than 2 years. So don't worry about that bit. Instead, just be smart and immediately sell any shares as soon as you exercise in the money. Your employment is already tied to that company, don't also hold significant amounts of their stock long-term. The double-whammy if they crash & burn is unemployment plus a paper loss on your stock, and that sucks real bad! I've been at my current company for nearly 18 years. I don't participate in the rather lovely ESPP, I recently got a vesting stock grant as sort of a reward, which is nice (I'll gradually vest some shares over the next 4 years) but I wasn't counting that as part of my salary and still won't when it comes time to ask for the next raise.

Then I am exhausted and spend the entire time hating myself for being a stubborn idiot. "How hard can it be to move a 2 bedroom second story apartment" my now wife and I say to each other ~ 10 years ago. It took about 18 straight hours of moving, pulling an all nighter because that is how long we had the Uhaul. We got to watch people come home from work Friday night and then head to work Saturday morning. We made a resolution to never do that again.

ESPP can be pretty good, depending on the conditions. I have seen companies that sell it to you at 85% of the lowest price in the 6th month ESPP window, so as long as you sell the shares immediately when you receive them you are guaranteed to make a profit. I have never worked anywhere that had the lowest price of the 6 month window, most were the cheapest of the first or last day of the window, but even then as long as there is some discount on the price you are still guaranteed to make money. If they don't give you a discount then it is probably not worth doing.

No Butt Stuff posted:I cannot imagine being passionate enough about television to post this. It's really being passionate about star wars and Disney has put it in the shitter. There isn't anything inherently wrong with fan service, unfortunately in this instance it's all hollow. Im not being a dick, there is like inherently a group of people who will always defend the wall so to speak for Disney and for some reason people take legitimate criticism these days as just being a divisive hater. Also we all post in here obsessively about football and other sports, what does it matter if breaking down cinema is something else people are passionate about lol Marvel is kind of in the same place now too. Everything post end game has been terrible, except for Spiderman and Sony produced that. Someone else brought this up but the Disney + stuff is too Disneyfied. The Netflix Daredevil show was so good and they would never do something like that now. Same thing for The Punisher. Nodoze fucked around with this message at 01:26 on Feb 14, 2022 |
