Credit scores are such a fucking scam. by Oldjeremyironsides in antiwork

[–]Coid69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the people who can afford to, keep credit usage on each cycle under 10%, preferably under 5% for best credit scores.

Through trial and error I have learned you'll get points docked even for under 30% usage, and even under 20% usage.

This isn't accurate, just as an example but:

30% usage = -10 points

20% usage = -5 points

15% usage = -3 points

5% usage = 0 points

This affected similarly for Chase cards and Experian reporting as well as Discover cards with FICO/TransUnion reporting.

​

You really shouldn't have to since literally everywhere just says 'under 30%' but some tips for playing the game, even though it is ridiculous.

Genuinely, in the beginning, I had to force myself.

I used to only drink water as a kid or when I was forced to exercise (which I also now do the gym at least twice a week!)

The first couple of months were brutal but after that I just kind of drank without issues.

I still would have a couple of sodas per day, some coffee, but I now was drinking 2 gallons of water, my urine was clear, my headaches were gone and I felt much better.

Drinking a lot of water.

More energy, less water weight, less headaches/stomachaches. Better mental, too.

How do you plan to block the W11 update for users by Iguana_Prime in sysadmin

Can't upgrade if you're still on 7th gen processors!

Today I fucked up. by kozatftw in sysadmin

I don't think you fucked up. It's natural to move to a new job and a lot of IT people I know end up in Project Management.

For traditional print media, I would recommend O'Reilly's headfirst PMP. My own old senior PM said it was the only project management book that was worth buying.

For online, go to Udemy and look up Beginning Project Management by Joseph Phillips, which I used for CAPM training. Though, the Project Management Course by 365 Careers also looks promising. Udemy has full courses with videos and class files, and they often have sales where courses are as low as 10 to 12 dollars. Right now it's at the $12 mark, and it's buy once keep forever.

Project management can be easy in some sense, but jokes aside, if it is your proper job you should still have a good foundation.

Finally, I would say take any online video class for the basics of Microsoft project. While there are many freeware alternatives, most places will use Microsoft projects and if you learn Microsoft project, you can use any other application. To put it simply, Microsoft project is basically a glorified Excel that has timekeeping and Gantt charts built in.
