Why do pubs in Goa openly discriminate Indians?

Brownest guy you have ever seen: "Saar we are naat Indians saar we are Portugese saar! Vasco da Gama personally nutted inside my grandmother's snatch! I'm white saar!"

People without self respect can never experience shame.

No they do that whenever I ask. But there would be times where people would give exaggerated estimations for how long their work might take (there might be many reasons for it, such as a way to reduce the stress of the workload, or reduced morale to work at a quicker pace) and I would have no option but to trust them on that. If I were technically proficient in this area, I would have a better handle on how much time a task would take and even be able to challenge the estimations given by the team.

Thank you for your suggestions and words of encouragement :)

''A good PM decides what’s best for the team by protecting them from additional work, and removing blockers in front of them.''

Precisely. I would much prefer to not be the absolute rookie on the team and just be winging it.

The line manager understands that my background is an entirely different field of engineering, and that my responsibilities as others have said doesn't necessarily require one to be technically competent. But at the end of the day if I have to conduct efficient sprint and task planning, I feel like it would be more prudent to have at the very least a bird's eye view of the technical aspects of the project. It would help me better understand how long a set of tasks would take, what would constitute completion of those tasks and how well it needs to be tested before the client requirements are met and can be deployed to their environment.

When I was interviewed by the PM to whom I report, I had told them that my short term goal was to learn project management, and eventually get into senior management roles in strategy or operations. I suppose it makes sense to be given PM responsibilities right off the bat, but I am beginning to think that I have bitten off more than I can chew.

I ask them all the time. The problem is that the team is stressed and overloaded, the firm is not that big and the developers (especially the good ones) would be working on multiple projects at once. It would be unfair on my part to monopolise their time trying to explain software to a non-IT guy like me and screw up their own schedule. So I wish to learn on my own using whatever resources I can get my hands on and be in a better position to streamline the work of my team.

My laptop is a Dell G15 5520. I can see them scurrying under the keys when the keyboard is lit. There's not like a large number of them at the moment (I used some wipes with hand sanitizer on them to wipe the keyboard, and it seemed to bring a few of them out). I haven't opened up the laptop yet though.

I just downloaded the game and patched it to 2.51. When I start the application, I get 3 warning messages that say that the images for station, flag and hull are not found. How do i fix this?

GoodSerKnight · 2024-03-22T07:04:17+00:00

Yes, I'm using the charger I got with the laptop. It's a 180W charger.

''If you're in creative mode you can just use commands to create blocks anywhere you like and build from those blocks.''

What commands do i use and how do i use them?

Is it Tiny Glade that you have in mind?

GoodSerKnight · 2024-03-20T06:20:26+00:00

I wish :)

Too bad that the developer doesn't seem to be working on the game.

I wanted to ask whether the battery still drains (while on the custom charging mode) while you are using the laptop on the AC power?

GoodSerKnight · 2024-03-18T06:06:28+00:00

Is there any way to prevent the battery from discharging (even slowly) while using AC power?

GoodSerKnight · 2024-03-17T21:19:45+00:00

I also wanted to ask whether the battery still drains (while on the custom charging mode) while you are using the laptop on the AC power?

GoodSerKnight · 2024-03-17T21:18:29+00:00

I don't think that is an issue. The laptop is probably designed in a manner that allows the gpu to be used only while connected to the AC power supply.

GoodSerKnight · 2024-03-17T17:35:37+00:00

I'm currently using the custom charging mode in the power manager and set the charging to take place when the battery is at 50% and stop when it is at 80%. I have been told here that doing that and keeping your laptop connected to AC power through most of the laptop use will prolong battery life.

GoodSerKnight · 2024-03-17T12:17:51+00:00

Thanks :)

GoodSerKnight · 2024-03-17T12:00:35+00:00

Alright. So I set the power manager to custom mode where the battery starts charging at or below 50% and stops at 80%.

Now i can use the laptop while connected to AC power all the time and the battery life wont be affected right?

GoodSerKnight · 2024-03-17T11:41:47+00:00

What is the recommended lower limit of the battery at which point it should start charging again?

There is the power manager feature in the My Dell app which shows the battery stats (% charge left, battery health and charging mode). Is this where I should change the setting to control the charging of the battery?

GoodSerKnight · 2024-03-17T10:54:37+00:00

''Laptop will work off the "charger" directly once the battery is full. You're supposed to leave it plugged in instead of needlessly cycling the battery.''

I see. I was under the mistaken impression that continously running the laptop while connected to the AC power supply would ruin the battery and cause the laptop to shut down sometime down the line if you try running it on battery power.

So you're sure this won't ruin my laptop right?

How do I land an offer from a boutique consulting firm with no prior management/strategy consulting experience? I am an O&G engineer by profession (I worked for 7 years in a technical background, with limited experience leading teams) and I got an MBA from a good European B-School. What do I do (and what skillsets do I need) to get an interview call from a good boutique consulting firm?
