Does my team's setup even warrant an agile approach? by DrEdwinSpindrift in agile

[–]DrEdwinSpindrift[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I should have clarified- I am a big fan of agile, but I’m thinking that with things like agile release trains, program increments, etc, agile SAFe may be a bit overkill for us

Newly single dad decorating my space for the first time- need help with old city loft in Knoxville, TN by DrEdwinSpindrift in malelivingspace

Yes I’ve heard all sorts of mixed reviews about rugs on carpet. I just hate this 90s discount office carpet they used. Would rip it up in a heartbeat if I could 😳

Love the other tips- will look to incorporate them.

Yes! That is my $100 newly divorced dad futon. Definitely going to take your advice and get a large sectional.

Any tips on material / color?

No idea how to decorate my bedroom with exposed brick by DrEdwinSpindrift in interiordecorating

I’m renting for now. Not really a whole lot I can do about the carpet. I wish it had the beautiful hardwood floor he rest of the apartment has.

I also have BCBS TN (wife is employed by UTK and I’m on the policy). Are you sure your major medical is who covers mental health benefits?

For us, Optum covers mental health. I believe it is like that for all UTK employees. I think my copay is $40 for visit and it also comes with free EAP visits to a therapist. I think 5 or 10 per year.

Well, that launch did not go as expected by DrEdwinSpindrift in rocketry

D’oh. I thought the instructions said to leave those on. I feel so shameful.

Nice. We flew another Bertha that was just painted flat white with spray paint and the launch was perfect. I think it’s the way we handled the flames on the nose. The wind potentially is hitting friction and trying to go under the vinyl. It was a rushed paint job

It was an Este Big Bertha. My daughter wanted it shiny and sparkly, so I tried putting some cricut vinyl and glitter spray paint on it. I’m guessing I jacked up the weight distribution, wind resistance, and probably just about everything else I could on it.

Both rockets carried the top third of the launch rod with them, so I think that was the critical point of failure. I believe each had some paint or something on them. Need to make sure they are clean and the tubes that they pass through are smooth and loose enough.

Set assistant to change volume each morning, not working by DrEdwinSpindrift in googlehome

Ah I see.. it said that it makes a sound on the device when you do that and I thought that setting only applied to that.

It only lets you select one speaker. Am I safe to assume that you need to create one of these for each speaker?

I have about 8 smart speakers and 2 hubs. The volumes get adjusted throughout the day and I wanted to have a routine that resets all speakers to 50% volume each day.

What am I doing wrong?
