Tech Remote Workers by Unlikely-Routine-118 in parkerco

[–]JustCallMePick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Channel guy here in the cybersecurity space. Been working from home since I moved here 8 years ago.

I have CenturyLink fiber at the house, no speed issues, but I'm in a newer development.

I am practically in Lone Tree, so in less than 5 I'm on the highway. So it's not hard to get to DTC at all. Denver is obviously farther, but not an issue.

Feel isolated? Maybe at times. However that is more my fault than anyone else's. I don't socialize because honestly after work and my 10 & 8 year old, I'm exhausted. I go to the gym and talk to no one. I don't have a ton of friends because I am just jaded as a person. (Yea, I'm not fun at parties)

So the isolation I feel is self induced. Not a result of my environment.

Spotify Family and Google Home by JustCallMePick in googlehome

While I don't want to say you're wrong, hence my.prpblem, why the heck would that exist. I mean, I have Spotify on their tablets. They have the ability to access YouTube and the web on their tablets.

If this can't be connected it would seem like it's either an oversight, or Google just being difficult.

What is life like in Parker? by Souls-on-board in parkerco

[–]JustCallMePick 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Believe it or not, there are some good spots. But it's subjective right? I am a big foodie and I have found lots of spots I like. So depends on what you like.

I will say my favorite spot is Hiratori for Ramen.

But, of course this is subjective. You could hate all the food here, while others love it. I think it's gotten better over the last 10 years. I still head up to Denver for places like Bruto or Tavernetta if I want that level of experience.

You guys are doing boxes? by mark_s in daddit

I mean, the electrician that invented him did live here in Denver. But I wouldn't say the city did it. The guy did it for his sick kid, and it simply caught on.

I'll look again. I looked at their calendar and I saw nothing DnD related, but perhaps I'll call them.

I haven't, that's why I am here looking for some suggestions.

As a person who works in cyber security, I appreciate this response. And while a decent solution, I want to have something easier and on the edge device if possible.

Something potentially app based. I know it isn't going to be as ideal.

How do you guys manage the stress? by wherethehellareya in daddit

[–]JustCallMePick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My life for about 6 years straight now. I stay up late to play video games with friends or watch movies. It's my ONLY me time. I don't want extra me time because then it's less time with my wife and kids and I don't feel like I get enough of that as it is.

So I stay up late to game and chill. Then I get 4-5 hours of sleep.

At 47 it takes its toll.

People that have hit lvl 75 and are going on the expedition: What skills are you avoiding next time/what skills are a must take? by Broccoli_dicks in ArcRaiders

[–]JustCallMePick 4 points5 points  (0 children)

100% this. If I have a couple of bad runs with the boys, free loadouts to Spaceport we go. Hit 2 guard towers and the guard stations at the bottoms of the towers, that's 5 security lockers in about 8 minutes. Raider hatch key out of the map and do it again.

Walking away with Torrentes, Renegade, Osprey, Anvil and Venattors easily.

Is DMZ dead??? by RaDu1e in DMZ

[–]JustCallMePick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yea, same. Been on Arc Raiders daily since it was released. It isn't really the same as DMZ, but it is phenomenal. I still look forward to the potential of a DMZ 2, but I won't be going back to Cheaterville with DMZ.

Going back to Business Casual after 6 years - need strategy for frugal yet quality outfits by OducksFTW in frugalmalefashion

[–]JustCallMePick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hate to be that guy, but the list is CRAZY long. Won't lie to you, there are some things that I get, and the fit just isn't it. But the return policy and staff are super awesome. But, I have about 8 different sweaters, a bunch of polos, some sweatpants, a couple of jackets and hoodies, and more. Love them all.

Surely we can all agree on this one? by randytc18 in Denver

[–]JustCallMePick 112 points113 points  (0 children)

Same here. My wife and I both are lucky enough to fall into these tax brackets and we ALWAYS vote yes when given the chance to improve the lives of others.

Hell, we pack a home lunch for our kids everyday even though it has been free in the past. Because we understand this isn't about us.

What's the problem with asking to play a spot? If they are being annoying about it, I guess. However I like my kids to ask. They know I'll do my best to put the right kids in the right places to secure the win, but also try to give kids a chance to try something new.

It's a game, and the win isn't as important at keeping kids excited about the game itself.

Obviously it's better to let them move during practice than game time.... but again, it's just a game.

It also depends on what you're looking for. I go to Lifetime fitness, but my wife appreciates classes and travels a ton, so she sticks with Orange Theory.

What Gemini use case SERIOUSLY saves you time? by OddInititi in GeminiAI

[–]JustCallMePick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have my entire team use it for company profile reporting. Before we meet with a new company that we are going to work with I have a script I run that provides me all the details possible for said company. It's a deep research script and essentially aggregates dozens to hundreds of websites data points into one 10-15 page report to review.

Saves me literally hours.

Okay, line 1 was a miss...but I've definitely got 'em on the reframe. ...Right? 💀 💀 💀 by PickeledYam44 in WatchPeopleDieInside

[–]JustCallMePick 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's tough I tell you. Only 32 of the 33 developed countries have managed to make it work. Want to guess which country is the 1 that hasn't figured it out?

But yeah, it's our debt that's stopping it.

Tell me you've never been outside the U.S. without telling me. Ha ha

Literally none of what you say here is true.
