Disney plus and a couple other streaming services added a "watch together" option, I think it syncs you up with friends somehow. Haven't really looked into it myself though.

This is the right answer - to further the point, you can make your friend or whoever a login on your account, have them login, then use the watch together option. It’ll ask you who is watching and you select the other acct.

Not sure if Hulu has this but Disney definitely does

New season of Cobra Kai spoilers, mainly with the end:

Like I get the need to keep everything going with the tournament but the amount of laws broken by Creese and the cobra Kai kids...and not one person went “hey maybe we should call the cops”? There’s B&E, assault and theft at the least.

Ironically the “karate kid” has atrocious form. Dude who plays Johnny Lawrence actually has drat good form. Dudes clearly kept up at it

The evil girl is an awful awful actress. Comically bad in her lines.

Daniel's always had a pretty goofy looking form and his posture, especially while in his gi(?), is terrible too. There's a shot of him in one of the final few episodes and his shoulders are forward and his back is hunched while you're looking at him straight on. I don't know if he was flexing trying to look bigger or what but he looked ridiculous.

Still gonna watch season 4 tho

GF got me to watch the first episode of Bachelor and I’m already so mad.

He didn’t pick the girl I liked but he also picked the train wreck who he was obviously made to pick because she brings drama to the show.

Thanks!

I'm replaying HZD to catch up on the storyline before the new one comes out. People complain about horse riding in other games but riding machines in this game is a huge pain in the rear end and clearly the worst ever

e: i'm not even entirely positive it's any faster than just having Aloy run on foot, even in a straight line

Does taste and smell gradually or instantly stop? this is important :ohdear:

For me it was instant. Or at least it went away from one meal to the next. I think it was lunch for me? So maybe hadn't had anything that day up until that point but I suddenly realized I couldn't taste what I was eating which then made me realize I couldn't smell. When it came back it was literally in the middle of the meal. Started not being able to taste and over the course of like 5-10 minutes it came back.


Have my final interview for that job I was talking about on Friday AM and I'm fuckin nervous as hell. It's like dream job territory and I don't want to gently caress it up and I want it soooo bad

Joey Freshwater, since you seem to know the most about this, what's going on with that boat that lost like half its cargo? Is there a way to find out what was lost? I think my job may have been affected by it because I was waiting on some valves and all of a sudden the lead time jumped by months.

I think last I read they've only discharged less than 100 containers since it arrived in Kobe, so it'll be a while before a full assessment is done.

Do you have any tracking info or know where the cargo was coming from?


e: yeah less than 100 still, but there was a Japanese holiday until the 4th and ONE (owner of the ship) asked them to slow the process for safety reasons. General Average hasn't been declared yet but it likely will be.

I don't have any tracking, I'm like three steps away from that, I know it comes out of China, but I don't know what part. I order from a distributor, who orders from a wholesaler, who gets it from the factory. They're steel valves from Crane. It's not something that would specifically be coming to me, it would be a large order the wholesaler places. Mostly I was just wondering if I could figure out if somehow a whole bunch of Crane valves ended up at the bottom of the ocean, but I figured it was a longshot.

Yeah, the distributor or wholesaler should know if they were on the ship and be able to tell you. If you had any info like a container number I could look it up but I can't do much else.

Finished the interview, went really well I thought. It was with two different people, one who is in the role I'm interviewing for and then the hiring manager/my direct report.

The only time I was held up was when they asked a "what would you do in this situation" question and then asked the same question just worded differently. I paused for a second thinking about it and trying to come up with another answer without acknowledging it's the same question, but the interviewer realized it and said she'd wished she'd reviewed the questions first and moved on to the next ones.

End of the call she told me she wasn't in a hurry to fill the role and that they wanted to find the right person for it, they had more interviews to do etc. I asked her what she needed from me or what I could provide to show I was the right person for the job. She laughed and said she loved the question but didn't have a direct answer and said we could keep in touch.

So....overall I think it went well but it could be next week or next month before I know anything :shrug:

Started watching Flight Attendant on HBO MAX today. My gf is a FA and made me start watching. I thought it was going to be some goofy bullshit because it has the girl from Big Bang Theory but it’s not. It’s a pretty engaging murder mystery.

Only three eps in but it’s really good

That's encouraging anecdotal evidence. When did you test positive? I haven't kept up with the chat thread much.

Edit: Sorry, could've done some digging first. That is good news.

Early/mid June I think? But I continued to test positive until July 11, main symptoms went away around then but others lingered/are still lingering.


Gonna go to the store and not wear a mask and tell people im exempt because of antibodies :smug:

So I got an email back on that job I've been interviewing for. She scheduled a call for tomorrow to "catch up", even though we talked a bit Monday.

I feel like this is maybe good news? If it were a "no" would she be scheduling a call to tell me that? I feel like it would just be a quick call or email saying they're not interested, if anything at all?

Trying not to get my hopes up and I'm assuming at best it'll be "we're still interested but we haven't made a decision yet"
