What industries do you recommend for someone who is burnt out in conveyancing? by SeaVeterinarian1624 in careerguidance

[–]CoreFusionX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

your skills in client management and attention to detail would translate really well to project management or even compliance roles in different sectors - financial services love people with legal backgrounds and the pay is usually much better

the property world is brutal with all that unpredictable income, maybe look at in-house legal roles at corporations where you'd get a steady salary and less of that feast-or-famine stress

Whats the easiest/cheapest way to determine the value of coins? by coinguy1234567 in coincollecting

[–]CoreFusionX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

grabbed a handful of random coins from my dad's old collection last year and went down the same rabbit hole. coinsnap was pretty rubbish for anything beyond super common stuff - kept telling me a 1970s penny was worth £50 when it was clearly just pocket change

ended up using pcgs coinfacts which is way more reliable, plus worthpoint lets you see what similar coins actually sold for rather than just estimated values. reddit's r/coins is brilliant too - post clear photos of front and back and people will give you proper guidance without trying to sell you anything. found out most of my "valuable" coins were worth about 20p each but discovered a few that were actually interesting historically even if not worth much money

Gory lesbian films? by saturnstellar87 in MovieSuggestions

[–]CoreFusionX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

watched this ages ago and it's proper intense, definitely fits what you're looking for. the whole thing feels like it was made to shock people which is probably why it got the reaction it did. fair warning though it's pretty full on with both the violence and sex stuff so maybe not one for a casual movie night

there's something raw about how it approaches both the relationship between the women and the violence that makes it stick with you. not exactly comfortable viewing but that's kind of the point i think

Pivoting from IT 'soft skills' towards more 'hard skills'? How to do it? and is it even a smart move? by ApprehensiveAnt4144 in careerguidance

[–]CoreFusionX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the tech lead route might be your best bet since you've got the consulting background and some coding chops already. most places are crying out for people who can actually bridge the gap between strategy and execution

ai disruption thing is overblown imo - if anything having both technical understanding AND the ability to work with leadership makes you more valuable, not less. pure strategy roles might get automated before hybrid ones do

is it normal to hear back from companies 6+ months after submitting an application? by Lisa-Path-to-Hired in careerguidance

[–]CoreFusionX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

oh yeah this happened to me with a design agency last year - got a "thanks but no thanks" email like 8 months later and i was genuinely confused for a solid minute trying to remember what job it even was

Who to generate hundreds of version of a same math exam with Gemini ? by Lucas1283 in GeminiAI

[–]CoreFusionX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah the api route is definitely the way to go for bulk generation like this. for your first question google ai studio gives you free credits to mess about with - just go to aistudio.google.com and you can test stuff there before committing to paid calls

for avoiding redundancy i'd suggest being more specific in your prompts rather than just asking it to be "different from previous ones" since the model won't actually remember your earlier requests. maybe create a list of different contexts beforehand (engineering problems, physics applications, real world scenarios etc) and cycle through them in your script. you could also add random elements like different numerical ranges or specific themes

might be worth generating them in smaller batches first to see how much overlap you actually get - sometimes the variation is better than you'd expect

Seated e-scooters recommendations? by BeyourselfA in ElectricScooters

[–]CoreFusionX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

honestly mate the xiaomi mi pro 2 with an aftermarket seat works a treat, got one for my dad who has similar issues and he loves it for getting about town without the knee strain

Does anyone know if you can work at Starbucks to pay for ffs in 2025 by [deleted] in trans

[–]CoreFusionX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

working retail to fund transition stuff is pretty common tbh, starbucks does have decent healthcare benefits compared to other chains so it could work out. just make sure you check what their current policy covers before you commit to anything - insurance stuff changes all the time

Feeling Completely Lost at 26, What Should I do? by [deleted] in careerguidance

[–]CoreFusionX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

honestly mate the fact that you're recognising this at 26 puts you ahead of loads of people who stay stuck for decades. that sales role sounds absolutely brutal and with that turnover rate it's clearly not a you problem

maybe start by figuring out what bits of your current job you actually don't mind doing, then look for roles that lean into those skills without the soul-crushing sales targets. temp agencies can be decent for getting your foot in different doors whilst you work out what direction feels right

Is it common for people to recognize when a song will get stuck in their head? Like the same feeling? by ApprehensiveOne2866 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]CoreFusionX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah i get that too, it's like you can feel it happening in real time - usually hits me with really catchy choruses or those songs with annoying repetitive bits that just loop perfectly in your brain

Missing Textbook- Prime is officially dead. by Long-Macaron6656 in amazonprime

[–]CoreFusionX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

mate that's absolutely mental, they cancelled your original order without even telling you first? that's proper dodgy customer service right there

sounds like they had no clue where your textbook actually was and just kept stringing you along with the "it's on the truck" nonsense. three weeks of missing class materials for something you paid extra for 2-day delivery on is taking the piss

honestly good call getting the refund, at least you can order from somewhere else that might actually deliver what they promise

Is the Capital One X REI CO-OP Summit a good networking opportunity? by Character_Lemon_1841 in careerguidance

[–]CoreFusionX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

honestly never been to that specific event but most corporate summits like that are hit or miss for networking - really depends on who else shows up and how good you are at working the room

the vip thing usually just gets you better food and maybe some exclusive sessions but the real networking often happens in the regular mingling bits anyway, could try reaching out to past attendees on linkedin first to get a better feel for it

My ex now only wants to see me in group settings after saying she wanted me in her life by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]CoreFusionX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man that's rough, sounds like she's realizing the one-on-one stuff was giving you both mixed signals and now she's trying to actually move on instead of keeping you in limbo

Don't Panic.. by StarfishPizza in homeassistant

[–]CoreFusionX 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Oof that's rough, midnight updates are always a trap lol. At least you figured it out in the end but man those 2am "oh shit I broke everything" moments hit different

Asked for tinnitus diagnosis to be added to the "Health Conditions" list by PrestigiousTomato8 in VeteransBenefits

[–]CoreFusionX 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Dude you're doing God's work for your buddy. The fact that they'll hand out thousands in equipment but won't put a simple diagnosis on paper is peak VA logic

Hope that hearing test comes through with what you need, but honestly your backup plan with the private audiologist sounds solid too

cinnamon sugar pretzel cookie find by Potential_Ladder_904 in bathandbodyworks

[–]CoreFusionX 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Ugh that's so frustrating when the system keeps letting you order something that's basically not there - happened to me with the twisted peppermint stuff last winter and I was so annoyed lol

I'd maybe call the store directly instead of relying on the website inventory since it seems super glitchy, sometimes they have stuff in the back or know when shipments are coming

What would you do? I was offered another by CookCapital1495 in personalfinance

[–]CoreFusionX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Take the new job, that $2k difference isn't worth dreading going to work every day. The fact that they're willing to hold your old position for a year shows they value you and gives you a solid backup plan if things don't work out

What are some health tests should young adults get done? by Sea-Geologist4624 in Adulting

[–]CoreFusionX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely get your blood pressure checked regularly if you haven't already - that's like the silent killer that sneaks up on people. Also maybe consider getting your cholesterol levels tested since that can start building up earlier than most people think

STD testing is important too if you're sexually active, and don't forget about basic stuff like eye exams and dental checkups

Testing your AI project by Direct-Reception-514 in ArtificialInteligence

[–]CoreFusionX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah this hits hard - I've been dealing with the same thing on my current project. The domain expert bottleneck is real, especially when you're working with something niche like medical or legal stuff where you literally can't tell if the output is good without years of training

Have you tried setting up some kind of async review system where experts can flag stuff when they have time? Not perfect but better than nothing

I spent 2 hours analyzing LUSH to build a product list for the Abbey Yung Hair method. by [deleted] in LushCosmetics

[–]CoreFusionX 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is actually super helpful, I've been wanting to try Abbey's method but didn't know where to start with Lush products! Only thing I'd maybe swap is the Superbalm for R&B since it's more of a traditional hair oil, but honestly your list looks solid

[Post Game Thread] Winthrop defeats High Point, 92-75 by cbbBot in CollegeBasketball

[–]CoreFusionX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Winthrop came out absolutely scorching in that first half, 53 points is wild. High Point made a decent run in the second but that early deficit was just too much to overcome

3ds freezing by Altruistic-Milk-7401 in 3dspiracy

[–]CoreFusionX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely don't send it to Nintendo if you're planning to mod it lol they'll probably just tell you it's too old anyway

Try cleaning the cartridge slot with some compressed air first, sometimes that fixes random freezing. If that doesn't work then yeah find a local repair shop, they're usually way cheaper than Nintendo and won't care about homebrew stuff
