1. Force yourself to smile and say something f like “good to meet you” or “thanks for seeing me” . Soft skills come naturally to some, but the tricks can be learned by anyone and are based on manners.

2. Have a couple of anecdotes about your approach to problem solving. Doesn’t matter what they are, there is no right or wrong answer, just have your approach ready in your head.

3. If its help desk, say you like helping people. One line i used a long time ago, was something like “I am quite shy on the telephone, but i actually helping people with technical problems “. It’s just keeping it real, a credible .

4. Consider de-emphasising your technical ambitions. They’ll have a dozen people saying they want to be a CCIE or data scientists or whatever the current flavour is.

Instead, I’d with “I’m doing well on with compsci degree, I don’t have any difficulties with the technical aspects, but I really want to see how my skills fit into a company, and make a start on understanding the realities of a business environment “

They want some one they can worth with, they can worth with almost anyone , but they won’t want to work with an “unknown”, so the more you can give - no matter who you are - the better.

You got it.

Pong.

I fucking know, ok ?

Technically a TV console knock off pong. But it was awesome all the same.

First coin op was … space invaders - table top edition.

It’s hilarious / amazing how back then it was all a brand new frontier , but you just put your money in anyway, and figured it out with a sense of awe and adventure and zero doubt.

fast forward nearly 50 years, and I’m yelling “this world has gone to shit” in the supermarket if they move my beer brand to a different shelf.

Aging is pure comedy.

Everyone needs a hobby.

Screen for dead pixels, make sure ram and disk sizes are as advertised - and CPU. That’s all

Probably not because you can detect the beam with an iPhone camera.

Close the blinds

Carbon is great but you pay a premium for the form factor.

480 is the choice for practical purposes, if budget is a factor.

They are normally very well seasoned and of course cured, so I wouldn’t be adding anything at all. The bread is the foil to the richness and seasoning of your sausage .

If you want to add kick, Coleman’s English mustard does that in a more neutral way than Dijon , but I can’t speak to the pairing because it not something I would do.

Unless you click the “unblock” button.

Gotta love Verge.

It’s long time ago, but it was on twitter

I can’t speak for your local market but this looks like about £100 north of the going rate in the UK.

Good machine though.

You are paying a premium for Carbon, you can get the same performance from T series - 480’i think.

I was not patient with this game.

I was patient with GoW 3 which apparently was a PS3 game originally. It went on sale a few years back, so I picked it up on whim for my PS4.

I really enjoyed it, had great playability, was little bit retro, I don’t know - I just enjoyed it. Perhaps because I had no expectations?

Anyway, when GoW was released, I bagged it straight away. It’s a different game but a fantastic experience. It’s an epic journey. Great story, good to look at, really glad I invested in it .

Every blocked ad and cookie is a small victory. They hate you for it. Be proud of that.

No problem!
