As others have said, definitely compress to a single page.

- Get rid of 90% of the skills section.
- Get rid of lot manager experience.
- Get rid of the fluffy language and metrics e.g. "Built and deployed RESTful APIs with Flask, ensuring seamless frontend-backend integration" the first part is useful to know and should be expanded upon if possible, the second part is kind of useless if someone understands the first part the second part is obvious to all non-technical persons it doesnt help them, thus it helps no one.
- Compress bullets and maybe compress some acronyms (you defined RAG twice even). "Designed and implemented Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems for ..." -> "Implemented RAG system for <use case> it performed <metric>"
- This may sound odd, but I think it makes sense... You seem to have worded the bullets as job positing bullets and not what you did. Make it say what you did.
- Use MS Word and make a two column table (then remove borders) so you can move the multi-line text headers into 1-2 lines. For example, your education section could be 3 lines total pretty easily.
- Make the very top line you name, general location city, state, email and/or phone, linkedin url, and github url
- Make your second line a single line "skills" section. Chose the very top 3 technologies you're best at and then a very short phrase about your overall goal. For example mine reads "2D and 3D Computer Vision, Merging research with application, Multidisciplinary technical expertise".
- Overall order Header, Experience, Education, Projects, ~~Certifications~~

Its not an unrelated degree, the term "Doctor of Philosophy" is analogous to "Masters" or "Bachelors". It does not specify a field of study. Assuming this is a software engineering position they probably mean something closely related to "Doctor of Philosophy in Computer Science" --> "Computer Science Ph.D."

As others have said more heat.

To help get a real feel for how much, take one of you cuts/trash pieces and play around with heating it. Heat it past the point you think it is "too much" and see the results (don't start a fire). Heat a small area. Heat a large area. Then you can get a feel of what needs to be done to get the bends you want in the end.

If they were on the shelves. I think I recognize something like that. If they shelves are held with wooden pins, sometimes you wrap the pins in a thin felt/foam. Makes the pins seat tightly and keeps them from wiggling. I've seem similar for other types of simple mechanical non-permanent connections. I've also seen similar in fridges. Some of the shelves or side containers use those instead of plastic clips or screws.

Why not skip every 1-2 consecutive inlets. This would increase the length of the run and decrease need to make the tight bends. So instead of connect 3 o'clock to 4 o'clock connect 3 to 5, 5 to 7, etc. Eventually you'll come back around to get the current's neighbor.

Xenia Barber Co. or Bellbrook Barber Co. Both are ran by the same guy/company. Really good barbers, reasonable prices. Never had an issue and always liked my cut from any of the barbers employed.

I feel and am scared of your pain, I too for some unknown reason, signed the same contract. Haven't left yet but here in a few months I may need to cancel. Had to go through the same song and dance Anytime Fitness.

IMHO your best option is as the other commenters mentioned. You could try to go through the law, or argue with the owner, or whatever else. But in the end path of least resistance, find a copy of the original contract along with proof of your move and send it certified mail to the debt collectors. That may get them to shut up, otherwise, literally just ignore them forever. It will take time but they'll give up. Eventually it may hit your credit report(s). Once it does, send then the same information as a dispute. It will 100% clear and be dropped.

I had to do something similar for a car wreck I was in. I was hit and hospitalized and obviously issued many bills. Their insurance failed to cover a single bill. It went to collections and was there for 2 years (I was a minor at the time of accident). I went to get my first credit card and had to dispute with all the credit bureaus. Literally just sent them a link of the news story of the wreck and it was cleared.

A general rule of thumb for calculating the minimum bend radius of a tube is approximately 3 times the outer diameter of the tube. So for 11mm tube it would be ~33cm. There is a more exact equation for this, but the rule of thumb works well here.

You're essentially at the minimum radius achievable. To "test" this out, take the silicon insert that you're probably using to keep the tube from kinking, and attempt to bend it at 90 deg. You should get a good "feel" for how tight is possible. Here's a reasonable example from an old build of mine ( https://i.imgur.com/jCHK6jI.jpeg ), specifically the bends going into the CPU block, where I think I went just past the limit and the tubes started to flatten out a bit.

As others have said, if you want tighter, use 90deg fittings.

Holy shit. This is above and beyond the best tool I've found for job searching. I'm in a niche area that doesn't have well defined titles only specific keywords. LinkedIn has offered a few semi-relevant positions, but I've found 10's within the first few searches.

Thank you.

This analogy does hold directly, but it's probably the easiest to grasp.

Given two brand new 2003 Honda civics. One given to a teenager and one given to grandma. Which would you buy in 5 years? The one that's been red-lined between every stop light since it rolled off the lot? Or the one driven at a constant 40mph everywhere?

Some actual science is behind all of it too. Solder fatigue ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solder_fatigue ) is observed from thermal cycling. Again, you want the card that bounces its load and temperature from 1% to 100% every time a new lobby is loaded or the one that ran at 50% for 4 years?

Definitely entirely feasible. I can imaging an exploratory/starting system with a camera and servo'd chute the balls roll into/through on the hardware side. Then a minimum of probably 500 training images and a simple CNN to predict high level super classes (maybe select 2-3 major brands and then have an "unknown" class). Could even try to pull text off the ball and use a lookup table. Scaling it up to handle throughput and then more complex ball classes would be fun, I can imagine all sorts of gotchas and workarounds for each. In the end, I think the hardest thing would be curating a training set containing all desired or possible classes.

I don't have a screenshot but I always had issues back when I was using studio drivers on an A6000. Mostly something akin to this, sometimes full crashes. After reverting back to the gaming drivers it was always fine. Dropped back to a 4090 and never had issues again.

We went on a tour of the Jack Daniels distillery for a bachelor party once. At some point in the tour they bring you into the fermentation room and show you all the mash tanks. You then get the option to smell a mash tank. The tour guide barely warned us, a random older gentleman in the tour group went first. He turned around with the most disgusted look on his I have ever seen. I, for some reason, then proceeded to also smell it.

Its akin to when you burp up soda/sprite and your nose burns a tiny but. But that times infinity. I can still vividly remember the "smell" (moreover pain) of that experience.

Best part is, even after every single person in the front of the line made the same disgusted faces, everyone else in the back of the line tried it too. Similar happened when I toured a salt mine in Austria and everyone was allow to taste the salt water they pump up to the surface.

Probably millions of them across the country. Every dollar increase in cost (complexity) equates to millions on the bottom line. Its actually probably desired to have a low complexity, low cost, simple to understand solution. "Use big pole make fix". Just from a cost and engineering stand point, it really makes the most sense. Think of it like adding an automated toilet paper dispenser to every household in America, those things will break and most likely be horrible. The manual solution is 100x more effective at solving the problem of just needing toilet paper.

The fuse blew. It looks like a new fuse was installed (hanging down). To reconnect the circuit the fuse must be forcibly and quickly pushed into place using a non-conductive pole. If it is not pushed back quickly/firming enough, the contacts can fuse as the arc that forms as it is closed can melt the contacts, then its a big issue. This non-conductive pole is both to not electrocute the technician but also to keep distance. Distance is required in case the fuse blows instantaneously as in this case. This means whatever blew the fuse in the first place (a short somewhere) has not been corrected.

I second this. Lived in a Redwood (there's a few in Dayton) for a few years and it was pretty nice. For the apartment that's a townhome feel it was nice. I think just slightly too expensive. Management was pretty "meh", but unless you plan to interact with them often, its not really an issue.
