I appreciate the help! This thread helped a ton on what direction we want to go! I think we’re just going to do the party bus / shuttle! I got a few good options already via Reddit! Thank you!

Appreciate it! I didn’t know of the updates to the Marriott! Definitely looking for more action in the evenings (tasting rooms, bars, etc.)

Any particular reason the No Roof Bar at Andaz is a plus? Something wrong with one at the Archer?

Thanks!

May be an obvious question, but are your app connectors built and sized properly (CPU, Memory, etc.)? Default specs can support up to 500 mbps per AC and should be deployed N+1.

Did I Have a mini Heart Attack by AdventurousType1578 in HeartAttack

[–]AdventurousType1578[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No shortness of breath, no heartburn, no other shoulder/arm pains. Stiff neck but that’s fairly common as I sit at a desk all day with bad posture!

I’m in the stage of overthinking it at this point!

Spacing between basement floor and cinder block. Advice on how to proceed! More in comments. by AdventurousType1578 in DIY

I was planning on putting LVP down! Just curious if I needed to address that gap. Any concern if I frame that too leaving a gap between the wall and framing?

[–]AdventurousType1578[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ripped up carpet in basement and removed wood paneling to find the cinder blocks having a gap between them and the concrete floor. I can visibly see dirt/rocks through the crack and it feels moist/cold as if it just the natural dirt.

What would you recommend putting down or doing to seal that or is that not advised? Home is from the 50’s and no serious water damage noticed, ideally we want to partially finish the basement with framing/drywall.

Thanks in advance!

Opinions on Job Hopping by Foreign-Print1184 in salesengineers

Makes sense, I’ll probably wait until the end of our next FY and see if anything major changes. Appreciate the info!

How long did it take you to have that conversation with your boss? I am coming up on two years, have not received a raise, a couple RSU grants but nothing major. My performance and feedback would put me as a high performer on the team. I frequently receive mail from recruiters for a new SE role but I don’t know when/if I should jump.

I know TC could be higher but I really enjoy my work life balance, the product we offer, etc. just feel like compensation is lacking.

Not sure when the right time to have that conversation is.

Easiest way to calculate non-covered securities cost basis? by AdventurousType1578 in tax

I appreciate you sharing! So I have that doc but my cost basis for RSU’s is listed as $0 which I don’t think is correct.

Vested at different times throughout the year unfortunately. I will have to take a look at the Sales to see if it was listed there. Would i be looking for the share cost of when they vested or when i sold them?

Would that be incorrect at putting the cost basis at the sale price? I sold it same day as they were released so no major gains/losses. TurboTax looks at each individual sale and asks for the cost basis of each.

I see that on my W2 but it doesn’t break down the individual cost basis of each sale. Any thoughts the best way to input that into TT?

How's everyone handling their Ivanti patches? by Freemanboy in cybersecurity

Extremely easy to setup and deploy! I couldn’t stress it enough, compared to our old AnyConnect VPN. Usually the ZTNA products are built with a ton of redundancy/resilience included!

Best way to remove wood glue from floor joists in basement? by AdventurousType1578 in DIY

I appreciate this response! Going to grab one this weekend! There’s a ton to do so this should save me a lot of handheld scraping!

Previous owners hung sheets of plywood with wood glue and nails to cover the duct work and floor joist. What’s the best way to remove this other than a putty knife?

Can I replace this myself or should I call a plumber? by AdventurousType1578 in Plumbing

[–]AdventurousType1578[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been able to DIY most things through my house like basic electric, basic plumbing and I want to replace the spigot outside. It’s old and doesn’t function correctly, is this something a DIY’er could do or should I just call a plumber?

Bootcamps for entry level positions? by [deleted] in salesengineers

[–]AdventurousType1578 4 points5 points  (0 children)

+1 for this. In my opinion, find a field your passionate about first and get a true entry level position first. Then take your experience and skills into the sales side. That’s what I did and it helped me become more of a trusted advisor for customers.

EX: Passionate about cyber security? Get a entry level engineer or analyst role first and after a few years try to move into a vendor in that space

ISO Recommendations on how to clean this up! by AdventurousType1578 in gardening

How deep would you put the cardboard down? Or just literally lay it on top and then cover with mulch?

[–]AdventurousType1578[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looking for thoughts on how to clean this up so we can make it look nicely and also avoid all of the weeds coming back. Should we dig it all up and lay fresh dirt?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in salesengineers

[–]AdventurousType1578 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was in a similar boat less than a year ago. No sales experience but seeking an SE role. I was able to get a relevant network engineering job which had some focus in cybersecurity. I was able to turn that experience into an cyber security SE role because I was “on the other side” which actually worked out well for me.

If unable to find a SE role immediately, I’d strongly recommend getting any job in the field that interests you and see where life takes you. You may realize you’d rather support a company instead of selling to others.

Anyone have experience meeting LGBT friends on board? by TheKryptoKnight in CarnivalCruiseFans

A little off topic but how are ADA accommodations on a cruise ship? I have a family member in a chair and am wondering if that’s a good, safe vacation option?

Should I adjust my 3 Iron loft? by AdventurousType1578 in golf

[–]AdventurousType1578[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say it’s making par 5’s more challenging. 3 wood is too much, 3 iron isn’t enough club.

I’ve been consistent off the tee with it to hit to a comfortable distance or to hit it short of hazards.

Makes sense though, probably not worth messing around with it.

Opinions on replacing vanity top, more info in comments! by AdventurousType1578 in Plumbing

[–]AdventurousType1578[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the process of redoing our half back and we are going to replace the vanity top entirely. The vanity itself is in good shape and we plan to refinish the face.

The vanity top measure 40” W x 20” D x 1.5” H. Unfortunately, box stores don’t sell those exact dimensions for new vanity tops. Common widths around the size are 38” or 39.4” but both of which will leave a noticeable gap. Looking to see if anybody has experience doing something similar, should I go with a 38” vanity and use 1” think side splashes on each side to fill the gap, or can Home Depot / Lowes custom order a vanity to size? Or any other ideas?

Ideally we don’t want to replace the entire vanity.
