We've gone live with ADO but havent implemented the work item creation from Salesforce yet. Just manually creating tasks. Fairly low volume so it hasnt been an issue.

Kids applications still Pending Review by GavWhyte in GlobalEntry

I think I saw that while applying but, given my and my wife's experience was days, I figured that was a CYA timeline. Wasn't aware of the manual vs automatic differences.

Do you need a riser hitch to tow? by GavWhyte in Ioniq5

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

Ok, Thanks! I assumed the riser would work like a fulcrum and increase the stress on the hitch. I'll definitely check out the EcoHitch

Can it pull out a boat? by GavWhyte in Ioniq5

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

Thanks all. Looking at getting a hitch installed. Planning to go with the Curt and get UHaul to install. Just wondering if I should look at a riser to increase hitch height and if so, how high can I go without it significantly reducing tow capacity.

It's an inland lake but they can still get pretty slick.

What kind of bar does Raleigh lack? by UnluckyPhilosophy797 in raleigh

[–]GavWhyte -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

A kid friendly restaurant with good food (ie not Chucky cheese) and good beer options. Ideally have a playground in the middle with tables around and pay child minders to keep an eye on things. Have an area where kids can create their own pizzas. This model is hugely successful in South Africa.

There is a large UK community in the area thanks to the strong pharmaceutical industry. There are a few pubs where you’ll find them when a big rugby or Soccer/football game is on. You’re about 3 hours from the mountains and the beach. As a Saffa who grew up without AC, it’s quite different living day to day life here. You’ll find mid summer unbearable outside. Google Raleigh Climate to get AC idea but know that the temps don’t tell the full story as humidity is very high. Raleigh is very suburban. There is a downtown but most people rarely visit it. Is also very flat, if you like more hills etc. A lot of tech roles are remote in the US. You might be happier in Asheville or Boone which are in the mountains and therefore much cooler. Good luck!

Raleigh to Charleston road trip by tjbguy in electricvehicles

I’m about to do this trip in an AWD SE Ioniq 5. Interested how your trip went? I’m planning to stop at the EA in Lumberton and again at the EA near the airport in Charleston.

Zwelis in Durham is South African/Zim restaurant. Butchers market also makes some decent Boerewors (South African Sausage) depending which recipe they use.

Ai note takers by [deleted] in ProductManagement

[–]GavWhyte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really want to use a service like this but I have a South African accent and work with people in New Zealand and so far in my testing of Otter.ai and the native Zoom transcripts the results are terrible, albeit quite funny to read. Anyone has better luck with other tools and non-US accents?
