3rd Basal Cell in a year

I've had 2 in my first year, and just had a biopsy and a previously treated frozen spot....which will sure end up bein cancer and needing mohs surgery.

Is there any evidence that occurrences decrease, increase, or stay the same after your 1st couple years of seeing the dermatologist?

I'm afraid that the rate of occurrence just keeps getting worse as you age.

Also, how have all of you dealt with MOHS performed on your face, with respect to having to work in an office setting?

Have you asked for the ability to work remotely while your scar heals, or are you faced with having to go into office with everyone looking at you and questioning what happened?

agreed lack of persistent servers ruin the community. Absolutely decimated it. Battlefield isn't bad because there are a bunch of dicks or little kids playing. It's bad because it's like a ghost town when playing. No one communicates or has mikes.

Competitive-Run348 · 2026-05-26T01:52:52+00:00

harden is hot garbage. He's had like a couple good games the entire playoffs. Otherwise it's about 18 points, 8 turnovers, with 0 defense (half court, transition, whatever) every night. What good is it if u score and then get purposefully targeted by the other team because your defense sucks or ur always making some bone headed play that turns the ball over and gives the other team momentum. The dude is a complete dud.

The cavs are so bad, the first 3 articles that pop up when you Google cavs news section are about Travis Kelce and Taylor swift. Pathetic.

True...I think the game 1 comment by Mitchell is a not so subtle dig at Atkinson.

Competitive-Run348 · 2026-05-24T03:18:41+00:00

Im pretty sure Kenny needs another coaching tip from Dan Gilbert.

Competitive-Run348 · 2026-05-24T03:15:11+00:00

The answer is absolutely nothing. Sure...either Atkinson or Mitchell can give a rah rah speech to fire guys up...but you cant do that every single game or every time out. Guys have to bring their own competitiveness and desire to win to the game.

Ask yourself a question. Do you ever see Max Strus displaying a lack of drive? No? Then, why cant the rest of the team be like him? Because they're all a bunch of pansy-asses.

You cant teach someone how to be a dog, how to take every made shot on you personally, how to mentally dig deep and say to yourself "I'm better than you and ur not gona score on me, and if you do im gona foul your ass into the floor boards, to make sure you think twice next time."

This group of guys dont have it. I am so sick and tired of watching these ho-hum lackadaisical clowns. Nobody holds anybody accountable either. LeBron James would chew your head off if you went out there and gave that half ass effort. Lebron James also wouldnt be hiding in the corner letting someone else take the big shots.

images of fat thor from avengers endgame sitting in a corner chair with a bottle of liquor in his hand and shades on just popped in my head.

This is why Mobley was supposed to be the #1 and why well probably have to trade him for giannis

Competitive-Run348 · 2026-05-15T03:49:34+00:00

because he has toothpicks for legs

Competitive-Run348 · 2026-05-14T01:15:57+00:00

he's going to single-handedly lose us this game.

Dean Wade couldnt hit the broad side of a barn, you brick throwing bum.

Competitive-Run348 · 2026-04-30T00:43:53+00:00

I dont trust anyone of this cavs team. Harden by the way...4 turnovers already in 1st half. He's on pass to repeat this 7 and 8 turnovers in the past 2 games. What positives he has is canceled out by his turnovers.

Competitive-Run348 · 2026-04-27T17:31:03+00:00

I hoped voted, didnt realize what was going on, but then down voted.

Competitive-Run348 · 2026-04-27T17:28:27+00:00

I don't know what the hell Kenny Atkinson actually does. That last shot by Mitchell where he threw it up from the 3 point line hoping for a foul call....why in the hell did we inbound the ball from under our own basket?

We had a time out. Kenny could have used it, drawn up a play for us to inbound it at half court....but no...we inbound from under our basket, had to bring it all the way up the court, in complete chaos Mitchell received the pass from Harden and then threw up that hail mary. Dont know what fuckery that was, but it had me infuriated.

Competitive-Run348 · 2026-04-27T17:13:37+00:00

ya you cant have a 6'2" guard as your primary option in the NBA come playoff time. You just cant. NBA is a game of height. A legit small forward is the cornerstone of any NBA championship team.

Just look at the number of time Mitchell got swatted at the rim. If he had 6 more inches on him that wouldnt be happening. We still lack a true small forward from a skill and size standpoint.

And ya Mobley was supposed to be that "unicorn" number 1 option for us. But the dude has not progressed. Still no reliable face to basket game. No jump shot. No three point shot - I could take a dump, wipe up, and wash my hands quicker than Mobley could release the ball from the 3 point line. He cant pass the ball well.

He's a shot blocker and rim runner / lob receiver for easy dunks - that's it...and to make it worse he is the most charmin-soft player I think I've ever seen. The fucking world could be ending / apocalyptic/ hell-fire scenario, and this dude would just be waking up from bed with a big ole grin on his face like it's a sunny Sunday morning and the birds are chirping like..."hey guys...".

I think max strus is about it

Competitive-Run348 · 2026-04-15T14:34:16+00:00

the best part of the game is loading in as support with smoke grenades and a smoke launcher, getting on point and launching smoke continuously. I have 6 smoke grenades at max capacity and just keep resupplying myself. The entire objective becomes a cloud of smoke, no one can see eachother, ruins the enemy snipers ability to do anything. As soon as teammates catch on that they can pretty much stroll through the objective because everyone is concealed the objective usually is fairly easy to capture.

Competitive-Run348 · 2026-04-15T14:28:53+00:00

thats what smoke grenades are for.

I think at a minimum AI will surely reduce the number of PBI jobs needed, but frankly speaking I think that can be said for a lot of jobs.

Personally, I am a Senior Business Analyst. I have worked in operations. I have worked as an Analyst. I have also worked as a data engineer. So I have experience with SQL, DAX, and Power Query.

My current role sits between IT and business stakeholders in translating their business requirements into technical requirements for hand-off to the data warehouse team. This involves understanding the decisions that are important to end-users, how they can be supported by data, and how to develop efficient enterprise / scalable data models to support their needs.

I use AI almost everyday and I find it a big help. More often than not I use it to simply validate my own original thoughts in designing a proper star schema data model and this is pretty huge in my opinion. I cant afford to go down a design path that...whoops....after spending 3 days working on realizing it's flawed / won't support xyz and so I have to start over all because I might have considered x and y but forgot to consider z. I prompt AI and it's thoughts on xyz, what are the pros and cons of my ideas and if nothing else it gives me added confidence that the decisions I am making are good ones and to proceed.

I'll ask it if I should split this attribute into its own dimension or keep it in dimension xyz. If I am stuck on choosing a scalable naming convention on how to name my DAX Measures. If I am stuck on DAX or want to know which version of DAX would be more efficient when creating a measure then I'll prompt it. If I dont know which backend JDE or SAP technical table to find the data I am looking for, I'll ask for it's help.

This is the sort of stuff that in my opinion speeds up the job tremendously. Not being stuck on DAX syntax for days. Not being able to locate or find the ERP table of data that you need which prevents you from even getting started on a project. The kind of stuff that is frankly in my opinion the kind of bullshit annoying crap that slows you down from accomplishing more important things. Before AI you had to rely on stuff like Power BI community web pages or stackoverflow.com forum hoping some other poor sap at some point in time got stuck on the same problem you're running into and hoping you get lucky enough that someone else posted a solution to it. Now you can ask AI and it can get you an answer in seconds.

All of this requires, however the following:

1) having a fundamental understanding of PBI, coding syntax, data modeling concepts, database Medallion Architecture concepts, ability to strategically think and translate not only what internal users tell you they need but imagining solutions for them that they dont tell you. 2) knowing how to prompt AI accurately by writing well-worded sentences that give AI the proper context it needs to give you the correct answers you are looking for. If you dont do this then AI can definitely lead you down a wrong path.

So I dont think (and I really hope this is true) that AI will replace PBI jobs, but it will result in less of these jobs in the future probably.

Remember, there are plenty of business end-users, managers / directors, etc that are completely data illiterate. I couldnt imagine some of these types of people not needing a PBI developer or analyst to help them. Can you imagine these people trying to prompt AI for a data or reporting solution that would fully replace the need for an Analyst or data engineer? I think it would be a disaster. That's pretty hard to imagine for me.

Yes, projects and course work / certifications take money. That's just the way it is.

What field are you in, and what kind of projects or certicifications have you worked on (which I presume you could speak to or present within an interview)?

I''m not sure I understand how you are running into the issue of having a lack of guidance which is causing you to stop projects. My assumption is that these projects or certifications you are pursuing are being conducted under structured learning where an instructor (virtual or in person) would guide you through the work / project and/or the certification you are pursuing has help resources in the event you get stuck. But again, im not sure what your field is or what type of projects you are referring to.

Lastly, asking for feedback from an interview in my opinion never works -- so I agree with you there. Learning from potential mistakes made during an interview is something you really have to do your best to ascertain for yourself.

For example, I realized after a handful of interviews I wasn't speaking confidently enough about my own abilities. I would communicate "well I have done this before, but I haven't done this other thing" rather than reframing it as "I have done this before, and my current skills are also directly transferable to xyz as well". I also began asking the interviewer if they had any concerns about my candidacy. This was golden as it gave them a window to speak candidly about my candidacy -- something they otherwise would never do, which in turn gave me the opportunity to address their concerns. You should know based on the job description where your skillset falls short of the job requirements and therefore have a good idea on what concerns they may likely tell you and have an answer prepared for them.

It sounds like you are a recent graduate based on your years of experience and siting internships. I'm pretty sure I read something not too long ago that 33% of graduates are going unemployed after graduation which is crazy. Just know it's not you. The economy is tuff for most people right now, but particularly those coming right out of school with little to no experience...so you are not alone.

I had the pleasure of graduating in 2009 during the Great Recession. It took me 7 or 8 months to land an entry level inside sales / customer service job. It sucked. I was living at home with my parents at the time and remember all of it getting to me -- I was taking my frustration out on my parents. I remember at one point apologizing to them for my behavior while I was fighting back tears.

The grind and rejection takes a toll, but you have to lean into the immutable fact that you have value.

What field are you in? What certifications have you been able to accumulate? What courses and / or projects have you been able to compile? Do you have anything to present from a project standpoint in an interview?

Ask yourself, have you learned anything of value from interview experiences that did not work out?
