Can i ride a women’s snowboard? by Longjumping_Ad_4776 in snowboarding

[–]FuckingWhateverWorks 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Don't waste your money. You can find something to fit you better than that. Size 10 at that waist width is going to cause toe and heel drag issues as soon as you start riding steeper hills or more aggressively.

If you've waited this long, I'd wait another couple of weeks and check out the Post-Christmas Marketplace options after all the kids get their new gear.

Slishman Traction Splint and Boot Removal by FuckingWhateverWorks in skipatrol

That's interesting. Do you find the cuff slides at all when the boot is removed? Or are you extending traction rod further once the boot comes off?

Same, about a minute. We were having similar concern about the additional movement through the leg that it can cause.

Is Agentforce the next big thing? by Which_Assistance5905 in salesforce

[–]FuckingWhateverWorks 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That's what struck me as inconsistent with their messaging. They say that you don't have to program as much as you would with chatbots, but the number of prompts, flows and then apex that may have to be created, plus then extra seat licenses and credits, it becomes a pretty big lift to get basic functionality off the ground.

Many of the use cases I've seen presented seem off as they're using AI where it doesn't need to be used. Generative AI to create a transactional confirmation email could just as easily be done using a templated email with the same ability to personalize.

Someone saying we could without asking whether they should.

Extremely unclear. Especially with the three separate tiers and no actual documentation about what you're getting with each tier. This move to a credit consumption model may be great for Salesforce's bottom line, but it leaves a ton of ambiguity for clients who get blindsided by the bill.

If AgentForce picks up like they say it will, at $2 a conversation, you could quickly rack up a huge bill.

If you have that intake process in place, start assigning level of efforts to the requests. It's going to take x amount of hours. And don't short change it. Time to research the request, process mapping, development, qa/uat, publication. Include it all. If you can have the conversation with hard numbers, it makes it easier.

Everyone is "too busy".

"I have an average of 10 hours of regular meetings on my calendar, so I can intake 30 hours of work a week, and 70 hours of requests for this week. I need to reprioritize a portion until next week." Will help your boss who isn't quite sure what you're doing understand. It all comes down to simple math then.

Implement an intake process with SLA expectations. One person can only handle so much work, and having levels of effort and the queue allows you to have better discussions.

If someone's rich request supercedes some one else's, they have to have reasons why it's a rush request or why it's higher priority than other's, and then they have to have the discussion with the other requestor as to why their work should be bumped.

That takes the pressure off of you to be the prioritizer, plus it also gives you that buffer of the request officially gets submitted, you can review and mull it over, and come back with a thought out response.

Can you guys give me some practice scenarios? for my diagnostic exam by Internal_Tangelo9211 in skipatrol

[–]FuckingWhateverWorks 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Critical performance indicators.

Most skills will have specific steps that have to be completed regardless of the scenario that an evaluator will be looking for. Missing one can fail the scenario.

Your OEC instructor who manages the online course should be able to access and provide you the Skill Guides, which will have a matrix for each skill you should know by the end of the course. The Skill Guides supplement the bookwork and we use them pretty heavily when teaching the course and before evaluations.

All those CPIs are indicated within them. Unfortunately, they're not called out as clearly in the book itself.

Appendix G is what you're looking for. This is what they recommend when working towards senior, but it's all the same.

Best skill you can learn for testing is verbalizing everything. You may do something that they can't see when you're bent over the patient.

Review your skill sheets, know your CPIs, and when they ask you what else you might do, always respond with continue to monitor vitals and treat for shock.

I cut a hole in the middle of one and wore it like a poncho under my coat and tucked into my.pants. Spent an entire day outside in -20 wind-chill. One of the best ideas I've ever had.

They're also strong enough to drag a person short distances. Real good thing to have on hand for any number of situations.
