Chile Pequin (Capsicum annuum)
It's native where I live. You can find them growing in people's yards. Super spicy, birds love em.

Pepper plants are resilient af. I had a 10 yo pepper plant in a pot that i COULD HAVE SWORN i killed because... I was dating a guy.. and was over at his place a lot .. and didn't water it enough... Anyway this thing was dead, but i was heartbroken I had lost sight of my true love (lol) and watered a dead plant for at least a month and it amazingly survived. It took a year off from pepper production, but this year it's in full bloom. Here's a picture of this 13 year old beast of a plant:

I also love this game. It's just fun to play.

I am definitely going to share this story with the team. It really touched my heart and I'm sure it will theirs.

I remember when the title went on steam, it was a really big deal.

As for the light saber, lemme look. The box is currently in storage, in it's original box, neatly packed. I cherish those years.

I indeed did. I started working on it as QA and left the project as a software engineer. It was a really fun experience.

edit: I have a lightsaber replica to show for it. Lol

I worked in Star Wars: The Old Republic for ten years. It's still running and the story is really nice. EA sold it to Broadsword.

I checked MAM, it's not listed. They have a 2022 book by the same name, different author.

Omg same. I have been burnt so many times on "lifetime" scams, im done. I want to invest in your product, but part of that agreement is you doing what you say. I've had it!

I don't think they realized anything. I worked for them for 13 years. I think they are likely looking at a strategy to bring archived games with low hardware requirements to new platforms that can run them.

For example, I worked on NBA and Madden Mobile. These were ps3 games that were ported.

It's a good strategy. Why start from scratch when you can just port existing titles that had good sales.

I can see Reno being pretty popular during late August for Burning Man.

It's nice because you're getting whole leaf tea, rather than tea dust in a tea bag. You can also buy as little or as much as you want and not get stuck with something you hate.

I, switched from Google FI because of lack of customer support and services that were getting less and less, but more costly and costly. I went to T-Mobile. Good service, much the same as Google fi is a first party mvno. Anyway I use a private dns. NextDns. T-Mobile had no clue what a dns was and the super had to Google it. They SEVERELY THROTTLE if you use next dns.

I HATE THAT. What do you use as privacy conscious individuals?

edit: not that! What

So I'm pivoting away from tech, which makes money but I find incredibly soul sucking, into service. There's a super delicious, slightly upscale ramen joint right next to my apartment building. I saw they posted something on poached looking for line cooks. I took in my resume and told the guy my story and he offered me a stage. I'm super excited, nervous, and scared, but in a good way.

I feel honored and humbled. He told me to wear black, wear restaurant shoes and bring my knife. I have a week. (Oh by the way i got laid off from EA).

So I intend on getting a victorinox knife and damn, figuring it out. (My current knife is really uncomfortable and i just moved in with my partner who's a FOH manager at a local seafood place). I cook a lot and love it, love this place and specialize in asian cooking. I've worked in a kitchen before but it's been 13 years.

Anyway a long story long, anyone have any advice?

Also mods, if this is the wrong place for this, please delete it. I looked but didn't find another place.

Update: i got the job! They had me do lots of prep, green onions, white onions, arugula, trained me on the line. It was only 4 hours then the Chef offered me the job! Woohoo! He said my knife cuts were nice! Lol

Edit: i hate the job. I went down to 2 days and got a new job. The people i work with are unprofessional and think they are the shit. It's annoying. Lol NEXT
