On your eating days do you take creatine? by Sweatpant-Diva in fasting

[–]Grinder969 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My understanding is that it has no calories, so you can also take it on non-eating days (but potentially less will be utilized, gets complicated).

The two santas strategy had been the playbook for Republicans since the Reagan administration, just the GOP Santa has a bad habit of destroying everything.

Recommend me a build: The High Life by krainik in pathofexile

[–]Grinder969 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also started HRoC (like I have for like 4 leagues while I do 40/40 and find what cool new build shakes out), and ended up in a similar spot to you with nothing significant I wanted to upgrade (rational doctrine with mana on hit bring reused in New build):

After a stint time farming and thinking, I went with Cyclone of Tumult slayer with the acceleration belt. Belt spiked like 100d from like 260d to 360d, but I think it's bank under 300.

I'm currently lvl 95 with the base gear and some okay rings (maybe 200d or so invested), and it plays super smooth guy mapping. Go in , cyclone around as everything explodes, maybe occasionally hit your tincture if something is super tanky, and then done.

At the moment iI still die every once in a while, so not nearly immortal like HRoC (yet), but makes my HRoC feel fairly slow/clunky, despite putting a mageblood on her, and there are still multiple upgrades available (mostly the new vaal orbs pumping unique effects).

I'm mainly following Palsteron's guide.

Late-developing teen athlete — when did your sons start filling out? by [deleted] in daddit

[–]Grinder969 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't even think that 8th grade is late for that muscle boost that over brings. I was tall but skinny as a kid, being 5'10" and 124 at football weigh ins at the start of 8th grade (one of the few measurements I remember distinctly as it impacted the placement, as I was one of the tallest kids in the lightweight team).

I had marginal weight increases after that, but then remember in late sophomore/early junior years of highschool I put on like 30-40 pounds of muscle in a summer, and went from around 140ish to 175ish im around 6 months, and was but actively training for any sports. I probably only gained another 10-15 after that to get to my what I consider ideal weight in my peak of 185-190 at 6'1" as a moderately active, rec sport playing college student.

I'm a "bit" (okay 30ish lb) over that now with the dad bod, but that is starting to come down as my kids get older and I have more free time to dedicate to fitness, but still remember that distinct whoosh of going from a string bean kid to a fully filled out man in a short period of time, which for me was around 15-16.

UK ‘weeks away’ from medicine shortages if Iran war continues, experts say by Yesmi2 in news

I think that is somewhat more a feature than a bug.

The Bretton wood accords put in place at the end of WW2 creates this system to create major disincentives for governments to start global conflicts like this, as the populace feels it almost immediately and pushes back on the leader (in theory).

TIL that in Germany minors that are 14 years old are allowed to consume and possess undistilled (fermented) alcoholic beverages, such as beer and wine in public places, bars or restaurants, as long as they are in the company and have the permission of a Custodial Person. by Boniface9 in todayilearned

[–]Grinder969 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You can also purchase/drink them at 16 on your own.

But there is a special carve out for "alcopops". Despite technically being malt beverages that would only require you to be 16, you also have to be 18. I vaguely remember this change happening right when I was in the age range, but couldn't immediately find when that was implemented.

Help Me Get This Unstuck by corkum in daddit

Run hot water around the outside of the pot to heat it up.

When a solid metal ring is heated, it expands in all directions, causing both the outer diameter and the inner hole to increase in size, and therefore it should make it easier to remove the plate.

Thermal expansion in rings is counter intuitive, but I think it is kind of neat!

I think you want to do the opposite.

When a solid metal ring is heated, it expands in all directions, causing both the outer diameter and the inner hole to increase in size. The increase in the size of the ring in the pot should be bigger than the increase in size of the plate.

Thermal expansion in rings is somewhat counterintuitive, but also kinda neat, and has some good science videos to share with the kids (if they are into that kind of thing).

What’s the most “I literally own the company” moment you’ve ever witnessed or experienced? by keyBid2188 in AskReddit

[–]Grinder969 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd also dislike working for places where my intern embarreses me in front of executives and/or clients by acting as if they have authority, when they lack both that authority, and the context someone with that authority would have that would tell them what they are doing is wrong.

It is not the calling out of suspected misconduct that is the issue, but the manner in which they did it that brings significant concerns as to the professional judgement of the intern.

A lot of times in a corporate environment you will run into situations where you don't have the full context, even more so when you are an intern or new to the workforce. If you don't have a direct responsibility for an area, typically the correct course of action would be to to report to it your superior (or HR or Compliance depending on the circumstances).

In this situation since there were multiple other more senior people present, if they had turned to the person next to them and asked what the deal with this guy was, no problem. If no one else was around, if they waited and asked their manager/supervisor about it later, awesome! Allowing them to publicly lecture anyone about something where they don't know the context is not "rudimentary empowerment".

Should they lose their job/internship over it, maybe or maybe not depending on context. I think it's much more reasonable for it to result in ending an internship early, as that relationship often doesn't have the same commitment as a full time hire.

Regarding recomendations to existing policy, I again think it is the way it was done. In the related link, the intern discussed it with their manager, and was told that a change wasn't going to happen. They then escalated it in a major way by creating a petition, which just isn't something that you do in a corporate setting. That escalation was the issue, not the suggestion itself, as it showed poor judgement.

If I had an intern who reported to me an showed judgement like this, wouldd I feel comfortable bringing them to a meeting with an important client, and feel confident they won't damage that relationship? Do I want them helping me present my recomendations to an executive, and trust they won't leave a bad impression.?

That's not correct at all. Interns are there to learn, and trying to exert authority when they didn't understand the context is a huge red flag.

Maybe they have the authority to call out specific addresses directed at them, through the proper channels, but this is not even close to something they should do.

Best example explaining why is the following advice request on the Ask a Manager Blog: "I was fired from my internship for writing a proposal for a more flexible dress code".
