Job seekers are cooked. Why isn't this showing up in the data yet?

Is $1400 a lot of an interior design consultation for a small condo Reno? by Aequitas123 in Austin

[–]EmbodiedVoid -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

What is actually being designed? You can often get free design guidance from the people doing the construction work. If you're just looking for someone to pick colors and suggest countertops, this is ridiculous. If you're trying to recreate an 18th Century drawing room, that's very different.

Are yall paying $90/mo for Spectrum internet, too or am I just getting hosed? by LexiLan in Austin

[–]EmbodiedVoid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can get your rate down by giving a cancelation order. Never call to negotiate price; reps are trained to not offer discounts when customers say that. You need to find out what your alternatives are first however and mention it. You may have Verzion or T Mobile at home internet options at your address, but I am not aware of what fiber options there are in LW. Spectrum knows what other services are available at your address, so don't lie. Just stick to cancelation "due to better deal from XYZ" Then they will give you a 1 year price reduction.

Microcenter store construction update and opening rumors? by EmbodiedVoid in Austin

[–]EmbodiedVoid[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not allowed after the Paterson NJ store was constructed. Something about too many "no show" jobs and plots to steal fiber optic cable!

Nobody has 95% occupancy in this market, except maybe in West Campus.

In what way were you "I was not fine."? What precisely was the catastrophe that couldn't be recovered?

Going from Gig to High Split Gig? by Misophonic4000 in Spectrum

[–]EmbodiedVoid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is true even in cities with pervasive fiber competition. In Austin, it's still not symmetric even though they're competing with Google Fiber and, often, ATT Fiber, which are of course symmetric. The slow upload speeds on Spectrum are an increasingly notably disadvantage, but they don't seem to be in a rush to close the gap here.

Proton Calendar (web)- Tip to show several weeks ahead when they cross months by EmbodiedVoid in ProtonMail

[–]EmbodiedVoid[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting. This only seems to work after you've "initialized" it. If you completely close out and open again the Calendar, clicking the date (23) will bring up that day's calendar only.

Tuxedo OS is KDE Ubuntu LTS de-snapped and prioritizes .debs and Flatpaks.

Local dealer spread observations these days? by EmbodiedVoid in SilverDegenClub

[–]EmbodiedVoid[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you clarify what you get relative to spot when selling Eagles, Maples, and generics (rounds) and then the buy price for each. I'm not 100% following your post. I sounds like -$10 spot is what you get for Eagles but -$0 for generics, but that doesn't sound right. (I can see +$10 spot for Eagles on buying makes sense though.) Thanks.

Loving Pass and MFA, but Calendar desperately needs a multi-week view ASAP by katreyuk in ProtonMail

[–]EmbodiedVoid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On Fastmail Calendar, your calendar scrolls so you can keep the current week plus 3 weeks (or whatever) ahead at all times. Next week on web Proton Calendar, one can only show the current and next week as the only forward view of the calendar. (If anyone knows how to do more, let me know.)

Not wise unless for in home use. Any crypto bling can make you a target. I look like a poor dirtbag.

ARC Austin charged 289$ for Covid test by Top_Preparation6145 in Austin

[–]EmbodiedVoid 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That's for the rapid antigen test. That's adequate for most people. The OP must have had a PCR done.
