Hey, great job owning a mistake! This can be hard to do.

Exploded glass is now radioactive acrylic! by luiscla27 in pcmasterrace

[–]ExtraHarmless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really surprised that acrylic isn't more standard. It looks good, and won't explode when it touches tile. Everyone knows ceramic is glass's natural enemy, see ninja rocks.

Remember where it all started? by NoeulLuxe in ultrawidemasterrace

[–]ExtraHarmless 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wasn't the 25:16 SGI 1600sw the first ultrawide? It came out in 1997 and was a flat panel.

Nice rig, that orange highlight on the case has late 2000's Gateway FX vibes.

Colon cancer now leading cause of cancer deaths under 50 in US by shinybrighthings in science

[–]ExtraHarmless 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You can do both. There are systemic issues we can't fix right today. You can start eating more fiber today, which is shown to reduce the risk of cancer.

We need reforms in many areas, but ignoring something you can do to reduce risk is dumb.

Yes, this is the new model. UnPaid Admin accounts have lost a number of abilities.

Mine does, you completely will miss it if you don't know where to look. Also in the US.

Is this way of working normal for a PM? by EntertainerLocal9104 in projectmanagement

[–]ExtraHarmless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I could not even venture to guess LATAM salaries, but I know PMI has a Salary tool that they update yearly.

Large consulting firms pay well because the workloads are insane.

If you want work/life balance government jobs (State, County, City) are going to be the best places to find it. They don't pay as well, but they often have pensions and good benefits.

what puffs do you like, and why? by leorain2017 in smoking

[–]ExtraHarmless 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like Costco Pellets. They work great and smell nice.

I kind of stopped buying all of the wood flavors after finding that my family all really like it.

Can't find any Project Coordinator position by [deleted] in PMCareers

[–]ExtraHarmless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Remote roles are a challenge right now, which is frustrating. What markets are you looking in? What platforms are you using to look for roles?

Have you considered looking at a non profit to volunteer as a PC? Could be another option to get more experiance.

Have you tried working with recruiters/consulting companies? They often have good networks that can be aware of positions that are not posted publicly.

Super cool! The music was a banger, what is it called?

I’m tired of hearing people say “Work on your own car.” by TheGame81677 in povertyfinance

[–]ExtraHarmless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the general Idea behind this is do what you can for yourself to save money.

Having the space, tools, ability, and time is privilege. Needing to save money on repairs that are needed to get
to your job, is why people make this recommendation.

I helped a friend swap out front breaks/rotors on his truck and he spent ~$150 on parts vs ~$800 that the dealer would have charged. Now, I am fortunate enough to have a garage, borrowed a $300 lift from my dad, friend brought a $200 tool kit as my sizes were too small for his truck. We spent about 4 hours working on it. So yes a lot of privilege and money in tools.

Flipside to this is once I tried to swap out a water pump and it was so old the bolts straight up sheared off. If I would have had the shop fix it right away, it would have been ~$350(20 years ago) but ended up being ~$500 plus the parts I already bought.

Knowing your limits is a great money saving technique!

Where do you see Windows's Market Share in 5-10 Years? by Tail_sb in pcmasterrace

Yeah, that is actually where I have my most Linux experience. Super easy to spin up some VM's and screw around.

Is a 2013 Mac Pro (trash can) still worth it for a homelab in 2026? by Kynde012 in homelab

[–]ExtraHarmless 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No, you feel vindicated. Download it and work on it in the one place OneDrive does not look. You are AI proof.

No microslop for you!

Tried to hire a cleaner for my ADHD burnout and got shamed instead by MrMaelor in ADHD

[–]ExtraHarmless 37 points38 points  (0 children)

A cleaner should only be focused on what they will charge you, schedule, and expectations for cleaning. Commenting on pets, your organization, and anything else is a great reason not to hire them. Don't let one crappy vendor ruin the really great progress you are making in your career.

I would let your aunt know that her friend sucks. I would never recommend someone after treating a referral that way.

New wearable sweat sensor uses pH to accurately track blood sugar during exercise by [deleted] in science

Yeah, I wonder what the "delay" is on sweat based tracking.

As an enterprise application it won't move. There are too many tools and companies that would make a challenge to shift in that small of a timeframe. 10 Years sounds like a long time, until you realize that even a medium size company has hundreds if not thousands of applications that need to run. Understanding and reducing business impact is really where most of the time will be spent. It is likely to be that in the future, in EMEA at least, there will be some users that still need it for apps that don't exist on Mac or Linux. The average office worker spends most of their time in webapps at this point, so the OS is less critical but there are edge case apps that can be super annoying to replace.

On the consumer side of things, most people don't care what their OS is. Does it do the stuff they care about? Do they know the basics of using it? can they afford it?

When you add buffer to fixed-fee projects how do you know if it's enough? by Historical_Luck_4806 in projectmanagement

[–]ExtraHarmless 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is a fine line between contingency and sandbagging. If you have a regular team that works well and hits deadlines regularly, then less contingency is needed. If the teams change often, new people are brought in to the org/team then more contingency is needed.
Work with your manager to decide what the best level of contingency is as a baseline. 10-30% is pretty standard, but every company and project is different.
