Apparently the guy I interviewed with told this other manager that she should hire me. :notsure: exactly what's going on, but happy to still be under consideration. Just applied for that new requisition they opened.
It's very possible that they changed the grade or some sort of HR :bs: on the job and had to repost.
Job is posted at the same level, but I'd be on a different program. Buddy works on Triton (unmanned surveillance plane) IIRC, and this new req is for the same position as I interviewed before, but on the Fire Scout team. Fire Scout is their unmanned helicopter, which would actually be pretty sick to work on. That's why it's a different manager for this req.

Shit. Bolt some pallets to the wall, stat! Maybe @detroit has some ideas.

Edison bulbs
Aloe plants
Etc
You've got a good list going.

If you could reclaim some old doors or barn wood or some shit, there's some serious bonus points.
Oh shit a barn door. How could I forget. Maybe some subway tile too.

Yep. But most "customers" park there for hours at end after paying $5 or whatever for a beverage, so design is probably a wise investment.

Not that there's much "design". The shittier and more run down it looks, the better. Plaster peeling off the walls? If it's brick back there, just leave it!
Right, but if they're only spending that $5 and aren't repeatedly ordering avocado toast while they're there, they're just taking up space. Although I guess seeing people sitting in there and enjoying even just the atmosphere is going to draw other pedestrians in. They win. Damnit.
Some of the more recent shops have stopped putting power outlets everywhere to encourage people to :gtfo: instead of parking there and taking the table for the whole day while only buying a $2.50 small coffee.

That makes perfect sense.

I did as well.. I meant "we" as being the general population. I haven't intentionally listened to the radio since I was in middle school.

:trollface:
Joke aside, these are people who literally take no intellectual thought or debate into consideration. They wield weapons and will overpower, by force or by yelling, anyone who disagrees with them. The only 3 phrases I’ve ever heard them say:

“Fuck you you fascist fuck!”
“Comrades, hang in there!”
“Fuck you!”

Ironic isn't it? People screaming about being antia-facist are themselves sometimes the most facist and on the other side the self proclaimed alphas are mostly out of shape single pussies.
