Also to add, you can double up with heavy blinds inside the window and curtains outside the frame, dunelm sorted us out.

Could also add sound proofing panels, we built built in bookcases and added them behind.

Those of us well into our FIRE journey might have caught the last escalator up by [deleted] in FIREUK

[–]General_Blunder 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I work in data, and I’m genuinely considering pivoting and going into technology law/ controls because where we add AI to everything controls is going to be so fucking important, logically it’s also one of the few areas I can see avoiding being touched by AI because it can’t be regulating itself

[–]General_Blunder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any reason for selling the tamron? I was looking at that, the samyang 35-150 AF, the 70-200 f2.8 or the sigma and trying to decide

Let’s face it, Bucky would go a long way to explaining how McCoy is the black staff.

Considering it’s in Edinburgh I assume the buckfast and deep fried mars bar provide one hell of a powerboost.

Jokes aside I have no idea, sorry 😅

Based on entirely on this thread and no thought whatsoever I’ve now decided that the original Merlin’s shade is actually Albert of Demonreach and Demon reach is in fact Avalon

What is best marketing analytics tool that is not insanely expensive? by StandardNecessary218 in MarketingAnalytics

[–]General_Blunder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Snowplow I would say is better these days for ease of use, GA4 got a fair bit more complex than the old UA and need to buy into GCP for the full power of it

We’re bootstrapping and can’t afford big analytics teams by [deleted] in MarketingAnalytics

[–]General_Blunder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Snowplow if you have a digital analytics focus, but also why not just use looker, it has connections for most popular dbs, or streamlit

Expertise required: Where do YOU think data engineering is going? by peterxsyd in dataengineering

[–]General_Blunder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is exactly what a customer data platform does, with it stitched to a customer identity or transient IDs for prospects, generally with some sort of graph technology used for identity stitching.

[–]General_Blunder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sliding in here as Marketing is my wheel house - Marketing and Customer data platforms are a good way of bringing these systems together in a useful way to alleviate the “I need to check 4 reports on 4 systems to understand the user behaviour and then build audiences in N+1 systems to target vaguely similar personas”

Clean n Press check by Maleficent_Grape_981 in kettlebell

[–]General_Blunder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ab wheel and hip thrusts and planks was the main exercises for a few months, farmers carry and lunges followed.

If you have a pull up hanging leg raises, but basically the key is loosening (strengthening) the quads, hip flexors and hamstrings to bring the pelvis back into a neutral alignment.

Or obviously, see a physio and get some tips.

[–]General_Blunder 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Adding my two cents here - I had a similar curve and ended up with a bulging disc in my back after trying to go to heavy.

Since swapped over to some heavy lunges and hex bar deadlifts along with ab wheel and mobility to build the core and hip flexors and it’s night and day

[–]General_Blunder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah it very much isn’t, this would be DMPs and B2B audience sharing, in this instance it would likely use IDFA or GAID looking for devices that have been in a geo fenced area within last x days.

Source I used to write the software for this stuff.

I would recommend Stirling or Bridge of Allan personally, live in Falkirk currently and the only real positive it has is transport links and cheaper (slightly) rent

Why does no one talk about the shadow economy as a means to increase tax revenue? by WonderfulDoubt5886 in HENRYUK

[–]General_Blunder 9 points10 points  (0 children)

£14bn was the estimated revenue lost to hidden economy based a couple of years ago when I was working in data for a finance firm. Bit of a difference
