I won’t hold my breath but I will be keeping an eye on this. I had been eligible for a HPI visa and fully intended to apply, but life got in the way while I was saving up and the clock ran out.

I’m a licensed architect in the states and the only thing keeping me from becoming a chartered architect via reciprocity is it requires a visa. It’s tough convincing a company to sponsor me via the skilled worker route because I’m not already chartered. Kind of a chicken-and-egg scenario. So this visa route would genuinely help people like me.

Kangaroo Jack (2003) for me. It’s not objectively good but I found it silly and fun, and it’s one of my dad’s favorite movies. Never really understood why it’s so panned (9% critic and 29% audience on Rotten Tomatoes)

Ah, I missed it again! And just by a few hours. Is there some kind of mailing list or something to sign up for to find out when this happens? Since I gave up Reddit and YouTube I am way out of the loop on these things. Would have picked up several titles too, since it’s been a couple years…

This is a shame, but it’s understandable. Just as long as they don’t cut back on what they carry online. They have a fantastic online selection which the stores never really matched. Some of their sales made it possible to grab Criterion blu rays for cheaper than the 50% off sales at B&N.

Boca Raton Bowl:

The officiating in this game is, uh, not good. Both teams kinda getting hosed

I missed the kickoff of the Independence Bowl and am bummed I missed Cal scoring. Hopefully there’s lots of points and the Red Raiders lose (I probably won’t be staying up for the end of this one)

Lol, yes.

I haven’t been following FCS (other than hearing the NDSU coach bailed on his team for USC during their playoff run). How are things going there?

LA Bowl: the only Boise player that has attempted a pass going into this game is the punter?! That’s a crazy factoid

Final fumble count: 13

What a game

Overtime in the New Orleans Bowl!

Lmao, muffed PAT and a brawl, what is this game

Just tuning in now, good Lord this weather is atrocious.

Thanks for creating this post, btw. I tried to make a gameday thread before I went out this morning but it didn’t go through in the browser. Wonder if the new Lemmy update is causing that glitch

Edit: woops, wrong account. It’s so easy to get mixed up on mobile. Aaand it won’t let me switch so I guess I’ll be posting from here

Noooooooooo

I watched four films this week, all of which I’d seen before (so clearly I quite like them all):

• It Happened One Night (1934)
• Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (1939)
• Foreign Correspondent (1940)
• 21 Jump Street (2012)

Really tough to choose one, but would probably have to give the nod to Mr Smith. Jimmy Stewart is just too good.

Red River was complete trash?

Not everyone is undefeated :(

When horns lose, I think ‘no’

When aggy also lose, I think ‘yes’

Uh, Minnesota, if you only last 12 seconds, might want to get that (defense) checked out

as long as the community is created on a larger instance it should show up when users sort by all within that instance

This is an issue for communities that are on smaller instances, and with the current algorithm it’s like a brick wall trying to break through to feeds of users on the big instances. For example, the most active college football community is !cfb@fanaticus.social but the abandoned community on lemmy.world keeps gaining subscribers (even with no content).

As a whole, niche-driven instances (e.g. sport, film, literature, aviation) and geography-focused instances (e.g. midwest, dmv) just aren’t gaining much traction.

Greed has often been described as equally evil to hate. As Robert Frost put it:

Some say the world will end in fire,

Some say in ice.

From what I’ve tasted of desire

I hold with those who favor fire.

But if it had to perish twice,

I think I know enough of hate

To say that for destruction ice

Is also great

And would suffice.
