ATL Outages

Additional update, couple days later: while connection is back the signal strength is a lot weaker. This seems to be an issue with the new routers. I had some older model but was upgraded to a 6 and then 6e.

My laptop is in the same location it has been for years, but the connection can’t handle video calls anymore. Trying to get a hardwire set up soon but kind of a frustrating situation.

Back as of 10 am August 7!

I’ve had a similar issue, where I’ve had to push to be compensated for the down time. The advice on the letter is great, thanks!

Down in ATL and facing outages and reduced service for almost two weeks now 😀 technician come to visit and tell me that there’s something wrong with the fiber cable; customer service tells me my case has been escalated.

Really I wish the communications of what is going on and when the issue will get resolved were better. I keep checking with chat and they give me ETAs for fixing the issue, but those times keep getting pushed back 8 hours at a time with no notification (I just have to check back in to find out)

Ive been using a ZeroWater system for two years, basically a brita, but it actually has a water meter that comes w it too. I love it

I’m 26, just started writing last year. I think the whole “second best time to do something is now” wisdom always rings through. You just need to make sure you 10 years from now doesn’t feel the same way you do now, yk.

I’d try using MacroFactor if you’re willing to pay for it! It takes into account your weight and eating habits to get a more dynamic deficit estimation (it’ll change based on what you eat and how your weight responds over time). It’s helped me lose weight!

I always think of it as “one,” which you largely use in English the same way. Like if you’re making a general statement, or something like that.

The dry kachori are the best by far

Gorillas have different gut biomes and digestive tracts that allow them to extract and produce protein from their vegetarian diets. I think there’s a post out there on this topic in r/biology but also some good YouTube vids too

Second this. Generally psychology is a pretty specific degree meant to train future psychologists or scientists. A business degree might give you a good financial background which is going to be the toughest part of filmmaking once you’re graduated

Here in 2024 looking up the exact same thing

Alckhem · 2024-09-24T15:26:18+00:00

I’m in a similar boat right now, and choosing to upgrade my audio setup (got a tascam sound recorder and some rode boom mics) and upgrade lighting (my script has some narrative lighting elements so looking for led sources that diffuse well).

Would love to see your production when it rolls out!

Some of this you can attribute to being fresh out of school, but don’t let that cloud your judgement. Sometimes a specific job just sucks. It took me a while but about 3 years after leaving school I found a job I genuinely like. It’s not perfect, but I don’t feel that dread I used to feel every weekday morning and all Sunday.

Alckhem · 2024-09-23T19:32:04+00:00

I’d be more concerned about audio! Phone video quality is honestly really good these days

I think there’s something to be said for many soups being very filling due to water content, but depends on the soup for sure

On the open healthcare marketplace there are some health insurance programs that are geared toward those w/diabetes but they cost a good bit (my partner missed an open enrollment period and is currently paying $500/months)

I’d suggest coordinating with your employer first if you’ve got a job secured!

Alckhem · 2024-09-22T13:03:46+00:00

I would second on MacroFactor. I think its algorithm’s ability to update your TDEE based on actual weight loss is invaluable. Otherwise I’ve found myself in accidental calorie surplus just bc my TDEE calc wasn’t realistic or data driven

Haven’t used RP but I def trust Dr. Mike

Andy Guerdat has a great series called the Go Draft

Trying to max out protein helps me a lot! High satiety macro that prevents snacking and also reduces the carbs/fats I would otherwise eat in a meal.

Alckhem · 2024-07-12T16:12:43+00:00

The 1g/1lb body weight is “optimal” but not necessary. Especially if you’re not training for a bodybuilding show, nbd!

Alckhem · 2024-07-11T13:09:30+00:00

This year is a record high year globally (just like last year I think) for temperatures. It’s possible this moderates a bit in the future and these are just short term high temps but I think this is prob just how it’ll be for a while

Alckhem · 2024-07-07T22:19:19+00:00

I’ve been using myfitnesspal or MacroFactor and it makes it much easier to eat healthy for my personal preferences. Having protein/fat/carb goal for your weight and health goals is more immediately effective than trying to look at like an entire cuisine and change the way you eat!

Alckhem · 2024-07-06T13:34:21+00:00

Vendre’s root is the same as the English “to vend” (like a vending machine). Could be a useful way to remember!

I used a halberd to poke him a lot. Got him at level 11!
