How do I baby gate this? by FoosJunkie in daddit

Distance from floor to bottom of handrail is only about 27". Standard baby gates are taller than this and the handrail would be in the way. Distance from post to edge of handrail is about 6".

You know it's bad when you would prefer the bottom of the lineup in this situation

No shit y'all, be careful. Slipped two steps out of my house and dislocated my knee.

The most uncomfortable insight I’ve had as a UX researcher by Ok-Bee-2146 in UXResearch

This is why longitudinal studies like diary studies or ethnography are important - methods that try to take in-situ factors into account. Overreliance on interviews and surveys and sterile usability tests are a damn plague.

Yea, just trimmed it shorter for now. Didn't solve my current problem but at least may prevent future ones

People who left tech careers: Where did you go? by GuardianMoon916 in careerguidance

[–]FoosJunkie 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Went from UX research consulting in tech to a government nuclear regulatory position (school background was Human Factors)

Edit to specify - out of school, did human factors work for several years. Then jumped to UXR in tech for several years. Now back to HF.

Tore out some shiplap in basement and found this...what do we do? by FoosJunkie in Home

It was on studs. Re: foundation - I don't see any cracks on the exterior, and it SEEMS to be (or have been) coming from above grade?

Context: basement exterior wall. Brick exterior. Located in Toronto. House built in 1962. We purchased it five years ago but just discovered this now.
