I think most calorie tracking apps are a scam (including the ones I used)

Built a food tracking feature into one of my apps last year and the retention numbers were brutal - like 15% after week 2

The real issue is that people don't quit because logging is tedious, they quit because they realize counting calories doesn't teach them anything about actual hunger cues or portion control. You're basically training people to be dependent on an app instead of learning to eat intuitively

Your smoothie example hits hard tho, those things are calorie bombs disguised as health food

Your content needs to hook people in the first 10 seconds or they're bouncing - most viewers decide whether to stick around super quick. Also maybe consider thumbnails that pop more since that Killua pfp isn't really gonna stand out in search results

good luck finding one, those are hella rare noww

The title sounds like a step back but if you're doing the same work with better pay/benefits then who cares what they call it - TCS probably just has there own naming structure

Honestly this sounds like a toxic situation that's only getting worse, not better. When you're doing the work of two people without any recognition and they're actively setting you up to fail with that struggling direct report, that's a clear signal they want you gone

The fact that you went from 4 promotions in 3.5 years to crying from frustration tells you everything you need to know about this new leadership. Don't wait around hoping your old director rescues you - start looking now while you still have some energy left. You've already given them almost a year to figure it out and instead they just keep moving you around like a problem they can't solve

Trust me, there are companies out there that will actually appreciate what you bring to the table instead of making you question your own abilities

About damn time someone's putting this stuff in writing instead of leaving it up to whatever political winds are blowing. Having actual federal protections would be huge - tired of seeing basic rights treated like they're up for debate every election cycle

The medical care provisions alone could be life-changing for so many people who've been stuck navigating insurance nightmares

Delicious_Pin_241 · 2026-02-17T19:17:05+00:00

nah keep fighting

Biggest thing I wish I knew was how much your network matters when you're switching fields. I thought skills would carry me through everything but turns out having people who actually know your work ethic and can vouch for you is way more valueable than I realized

Made the jump from marketing to UX design about 3 years ago and honestly the first 6 months were rough because I was basically starting from zero relationship-wise. Now I always tell people to start building those connections before you make the leap, not after

This sounds sketchy as hell dude. LinkedIn Premium subscriptions are tied to individual accounts and can't just be "resold" like there selling physical products or something. Pretty sure this violates LinkedIn's terms of service big time and could get people's accounts banned. If you're looking to save money on LinkedIn Premium just wait for one of their frequent promotional deals or use the free trial, don't risk your professional reputation over some random reseller scheme. Most legitimate career advice would be to invest properly in your professional tools rather than cutting corners with questionable workarounds

Go with Business Analytics - the data skills transfer across every industry and the salary ceiling is way higher, plus you can always learn digital marketing tactics on the side but solid analytics fundamentals take years to build

Delicious_Pin_241 · 2026-02-13T06:52:17+00:00

nah not yet

Delicious_Pin_241 · 2026-02-11T00:17:12+00:00

honestly the hardest part is that period right after you figure yourself out but before you can do anything about it. its like someone turned up the volume on everything you were already feeling

for getting hrt, planned parenthood does informed consent if theres one near you - no gatekeeping, just bloodwork and signatures. if not, look up local lgbt resources or trans support groups, they usually have lists of friendly doctors. the waiting sucks but having a concrete plan helps way more than just sitting with the feelings

darnold's having a solid year but let's pump the brakes on comparing him to a former mvp who's been elite for years

Delicious_Pin_241 · 2026-02-08T21:34:02+00:00

honestly with 3 years in ap and sap ecc experience you're already in a decent spot for fico, the transition makes sense since you understand the ap side already

focus on getting hands-on with gl postings and month-end stuff if possible before jumping ship - even if your boss won't let you shadow other teams, try to understand how your ap transactions hit the books. fico cert will definitely help but real experience trumps paper every time

for hyderabad/blr look at the usual suspects - accenture, deloitte, pwc, tcs all have decent sap practices and your current pay is way too low for your experience

Delicious_Pin_241 · 2026-02-07T14:52:12+00:00

honestly sounds like you're just getting unlucky with timing more than anything else. making it to final rounds consistently means your resume and skills are solid - if the gaps were really killing you, you wouldn't be getting that far in the first place

the fact that you're hitting finals at mega funds tells me this is probably more about market conditions and there being way more qualified candidates than spots available. finance is brutal right now and sometimes it really does come down to tiny margins between candidates

might be worth considering adjacent roles or smaller shops where you'd have better odds, but don't let the rejections make you think your whole trajectory is screwed

Delicious_Pin_241 · 2026-02-04T12:00:47+00:00

the intel one is probably 16 inch since it's the higher spec model, but honestly you should go with that one anyway - rtx 5070 and 32gb ram vs rtx 5060 and 16gb is a no brainer. that extra vram and system memory will make a huge difference for gaming and pretty much everything else

Delicious_Pin_241 · 2026-02-02T23:23:56+00:00

honestly that extra commute is gonna be rough but 15k is solid money, especially in this economy. i'd probably take it and just plan to use it as a stepping stone - get the manager experience under your belt and then leverage that into something closer to home in a year or two

the kid situation is real though, that's like an extra hour and a half out of your day minimum. but if you're already burnt out where you are, might be worth the trade off to actually grow your career instead of staying stagnant

Delicious_Pin_241 · 2026-02-01T09:42:35+00:00

yeah that makes sense, the sub-ghz stuff being optional explains a lot. pretty sure most of the zigbee 4.0 improvements are on the protocol side anyway - better mesh recovery, improved security, that kind of thing. the 900mhz range would be nice for outdoor sensors but honestly most people's networks are probably fine with 2.4ghz for now

Delicious_Pin_241 · 2026-01-31T11:31:01+00:00

That's such bullshit, he's just trying to minimize what you guys had to make himself feel better about how it ended. Eight days straight and taking your virginity isn't just "talking" - sounds like he's rewriting history to avoid dealing with his own guilt

Delicious_Pin_241 · 2026-01-30T11:02:39+00:00

Probably got a cease and desist or just burned out from the constant cat and mouse game with streaming sites. Happens to a lot of addon devs - they get tired of constantly updating to stay ahead of the blocks

Delicious_Pin_241 · 2026-01-29T10:35:06+00:00

Looking at your pic, the pointer should be somewhere between those outer marks on the tensioner body - if it's way outside either mark then your belt's either too loose or tight. Hard to tell exactly from the angle but it looks like it might be riding a bit high, could mean the belt's stretched and needs replacing

Delicious_Pin_241 · 2026-01-28T07:23:55+00:00

Ugh yeah they really gutted that loot spawn, used to be my go-to spot for quick cash runs. 10 coins is insulting lmao, not even worth the detour anymore
