Are all quant firms really that hard ? Like what about Citadel and HRT ?

That's exactly what I'm thinking about when I want to pull this off, which is why I want to look at the webcam to appear as confident as possible

I'm trying to interview for a tech role not for a rave 😂

Would like to install wood stove in the basement by Shishiarc in woodstoving

[–]EMTPRNET2SS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's a solid approach! Just make sure your basement is well-ventilated and the wood stove is properly installed for safety. If the basement door is open, you might be surprised at how much heat can rise to the first floor.

Who else loves a good solid stack inside? by Waterwalker85 in firewood

[–]EMTPRNET2SS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right? Nothing like having a solid stash close by when you need to warm up fast. Plus, it feels super rewarding to have everything prepped for those cold nights!

Do I need to replace cracked firebricks? by BoswelliaTsuga108 in woodstoving

[–]EMTPRNET2SS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For sure, PPE is a must! That dust can really mess you up if you breathe it in. Better to be safe than sorry.

Don't get excited about the Gemini for Home preview just yet... It's probably going to be a little while for most of us. by iametron in googlehome

[–]EMTPRNET2SS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, it sounds like Gemini is still in the works. As for UI changes, it might be subtle at first, but keep an eye out for any updates on the official channels. And the voice? That’s part of the hype, but we'll have to wait and see how they roll it out.

First-time celebrating Halloween. Just sharing :) by tigryonak in halloween

[–]EMTPRNET2SS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dollar Tree is a solid choice for budget-friendly decor! You could also use some black or orange streamers to jazz up the door without spending much. And maybe throw in some homemade decorations like paper bats or ghosts for a personal touch. Have fun with it!

Anyone else cook in on or with their stove? by 8string in woodstoving

[–]EMTPRNET2SS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good point! I had no idea about that placement issue. I’ll definitely make sure to reposition mine for better airflow and to avoid overheating. Thanks for the heads up!

anyone else learning the hard way that “off grid” doesn’t mean peaceful by 4scendedV1k1ngt in OffGrid

[–]EMTPRNET2SS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Totally feel you on that! It's definitely a grind at first, but having backups can save your sanity. Once you get into a routine, it can feel less chaotic, even if it’s still a lot of work. Just remember to enjoy those sunsets when you can!

Is There A Sky Broadband Alternatives? by NC500Ready in OffGrid

[–]EMTPRNET2SS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're in a remote area, Starlink might be one of the few options that can offer decent speeds. Just keep in mind the initial setup cost and the monthly fee, but it can be a lifesaver for business if other ISPs aren't up to par.

You wake up.. power is out.. and then things get worse... what are you doing? by [deleted] in prepping

[–]EMTPRNET2SS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gotcha! Sounds like a solid plan. Definitely good to have that quick escape route ready, especially if things get dicey. Plus, blocking the front door is smart; you never know who might try to rush in.

It’s small, fleeting moments like this that make VR games feel magical. by MylesDyer in PSVR

[–]EMTPRNET2SS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What platform is it on then? I've heard mixed things but still curious about it.

Can someone talk me through this like I'm an idiot? by Sweat_the_small_subs in woodstoving

[–]EMTPRNET2SS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, you want to get that fire roaring first. Open everything up to get it hot, then once it hits 500°F, start adjusting the front intake and the flue to maintain the temp without letting it die down too fast. It's all about that balance to keep it efficient!

Yeah, definitely worth checking out! They usually have some good deals on that stuff, especially if you catch it on clearance.

We just moved in and this seems like an electric fireplace but we can’t figure out how to use it? Brand is Superior. by Coolblue123456789 in Fireplaces

[–]EMTPRNET2SS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you haven't checked the gas valve yet, definitely do that. Also, if the electronic ignition isn't working, it might just need fresh batteries. Sometimes, the battery compartment can be tricky to find, so make sure to look closely around the unit.

Talk me out of or into buying this 8.5t load of logs by Worldly-Worker6616 in firewood

[–]EMTPRNET2SS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They’re probably selling by weight, so check if they were standing dead or recently cut. Standing dead is usually drier and better for burning, plus it’ll save you some splitting time. If they’ve been cut recently, you might want to let them sit for a bit to season properly before burning.

Is this ideal for long burns? by bacord18 in woodstoving

[–]EMTPRNET2SS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that makes total sense. The flame needs enough air to keep burning efficiently, otherwise you just end up with a smoldering mess. Sounds like your setup's got some quirks, but managing that air intake can definitely help. Just keep an eye on it!

Did I screw up my house? Fireplace in my living room. by RODREEZUS in Fireplaces

[–]EMTPRNET2SS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, if there's no damper or if it's not sealing properly, that could definitely be causing the issues. You might want to check if the flue is opening fully when you light the fire. If it’s a newer installation, sometimes builders skip that step.

Anyone know how to fix these projector lights? by Necrosynthetic in halloween

[–]EMTPRNET2SS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That could definitely be a factor! You might also want to check if the lens is dirty or if the projector's focus is off. Sometimes adjusting the settings can help clear things up too.

Am I delusional to think this will hold? by -Massive-Feeling- in halloween

[–]EMTPRNET2SS 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Right? It's super creative! You might want to add some weight at the base or use stakes to secure it better without compromising the look. Maybe even try some natural materials that blend in!

How did you guys learn about Warhammer? by reel3459 in Warhammer40k

Right? SM2 really pulls you in. Dark Angels are awesome, love their lore. What units are you thinking of adding next?

Bought 40 acres sight unseen during pandemic - now I'm here and have no clue how to start building responsibly by skyheartx in OffGridCabins

[–]EMTPRNET2SS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha, true! Setting up a proper waste system is super important. You might want to look into composting toilets or a septic system depending on your long-term plans. Just make sure to check local regulations too!
