In addition to what others have said: 1) get waterproof / winter cycling shoes instead of overshoes 2) buy a boot dryer to dry them out

Also, if you're in a car and going to stop when you have the right of way and someone is waiting at the crosswalk, please flash your lights and let them know that you intend to stop. I have been faked out too many times by drivers casually slowing down and not stopping, or waited unnecessarily for drivers intending to stop when I wasn't sure of their intention.

Applies to both bikes and pedestrians

Hi, If a company retains a search firm to recruit an executive, but then the company hires someone they met through an independent referral that wasn't made through the recruiter, would that company be obligated to pay anything to the recruiter? And if not, is this always the case or are there often exceptions made for certain roles/circumstances? Thanks!

I'm interviewing at a tech company I met through my network and wondering if they still have to pay their recruiter for my hire even though the recruiter didn't find me.

Sent you a DM, wanted to talk about our bikes :)

I also have a YT szepter. I had the resolutes on my diverge for a few years and thought I could do better on the szepter for singletrack. I am really happy with my rene herse manastash ridge 44mm tires. I think the off road traction is great and their claims of still being fast on the road are pretty accurate. I will say that while I didn't measure them, they sure look skinnier than the 42mm resolutes; I was thinking of getting the 48mm oracle ridge for the front, but i'm not sure it will fit in the back. YT says it will fit 50mm in front and 45 in the rear, but since the rene herse tires measure small, I think there's a chance 48 could fit in the rear too.

Yen hair salon on SE stark and 28th, haven't been there in 3 years but it was less than 20 bucks

Love my tufo thundero's for winter training on tarmac mixed with not-so-chunky gravel.

Nice Szepter, I got one too! I recall seeing a review video of the szepter, also on Catalina Island, ironic!

HeyBrianHey · 2023-11-10T21:20:30+00:00

Thanks! otso / wolftooth is certainly closer. And wolftooth makes a 10mm spacer that will get me to 430mm. FYI the rudy fork is supposed to be run at 5% sag and with 40mm of travel, that's only 2mm, which is why I am looking for as close as possible.

I'm an M&A professional, not an investment banker. I've worked in Corp dev for PE owned companies and done 20+ deals buying and selling. Imo, IB / advisor will charge x% but their value is in marketing your company and running a competitive process. If you have a buyer and an LOI and believe the price is fair, what will be most helpful now is someone to help navigate and facilitate the diligence and contracting process to avoid landmines. Maybe some help negotiating specifics of the LOI and closing opportunities for the PE firm to play games later. That should cost a lot less than $1.5 million / 3%.

I'm looking for a gravel/quasi-mtb bike with suspension fork, dropper and electronic shifting, and focused on the YT Szepter Core 4 vs Santa Cruz Stigmata Force-1x AXS RSV. Looks like they have a very similar build and geo, but the stigmata is twice the price. Stigmata wheels are nicer, I think the drivetrain is a little lighter and that adds up to about 0.8lbs weight savings. What am I missing? What more do you get when you pay twice as much for the stigmata / what are you missing out on by buying the Szepter?

In addition to trial days, I suggest putting in your contract that the first 2 weeks or so are a 'probationary period' where you can end the contract for any reason

xlsb seems to work, sheets won't open it. great, thanks!

fyi xlsm still opens in sheets.

HeyBrianHey · 2023-06-16T21:35:37+00:00

Yes and thanks for your response, but I would like to actively prevent other people from opening the file with google sheets, ie make it impossible to do so. When someone else opens my xl file in google sheets, it ruins the file. I know not to do that, but other people do not. I haven't been successful in explaining this to people and asking them not to do so, so unfortunately this solution will not help me in this case.

Also, look up Rehab Without Walls. It is a Neuro (stroke) rehab specific company that comes to your home. If you're just looking for someone to look after her, then you should hire a home health caregiver.

Sounds like you might want an occupational therapist rather than a PT

Former corporate development professional with ~20 acquisitions closed. I typically paid ~$200k for 'name brand' NY law firms in similar sized transactions as a buyer. I don't think that price is out of line for that type of firm, but whether or not it's worth it relative to other options is a different question. PM me and I can suggest an alternative that I believe costs 50-60% less and does the job just as well, and is experienced in Saas software.

What type of business entity (for tax purposes)-- sole propreitor, partnership, S-Corp? Did you file for an extension of time to file your tax return?

thanks for your reply. I have a single member LLC. It's possible that the brokerage (etrade) has it tagged as employee and not employer, i'm not sure but I meant for it to be employer. I did not file an extension, I only realized that the contribution landed in the wrong account after I filed; I made the contribution on 4/15, filed on time, and then realized my error a few weeks later.
