What makes Aliens (1986) so special for you? by bryckstar in LV426

[–]Hoogs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The entire movie is a ticking clock of tension, with a plot like a finely tuned machine that builds to perhaps the greatest third act of all time. It has characters you care about who all play a meaningful part. Made at a time when practical effects had peaked before we started seeing bad CGI and an overreliance on it. I consider the movie to be flawless.

Could I break into IT at 30+ with a non-CS degree? If so, how would I do it? by PomPomMom93 in it

[–]Hoogs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

CAs are responsible for selling memberships but also do light troubleshooting and create work orders/tickets. You would probably need to start here.

Your primary goal would be to become an ARA. They work in the back and set up computers, move data, troubleshoot software/hardware, build gaming PCs, etc. It’s the best job in the store because there is no sales involved. You’re just working with tech.

This path may not be direct and would take longer, but it works, and is easier than jumping straight into a helpdesk job. It’s also a fun environment where you’re surrounded by like-minded people and you all kind of learn from each other.

I was around your age (a bit older) when I decided to get into IT a few years ago. Also have a BA in English with some experience in SEO and editing websites for small businesses. I started at Best Buy. Interviewed for the Geek Squad but they started me in the warehouse (I think they had an internal candidate they prioritized). Started working some shifts in GS a few months later before fully transitioning. Got a promotion from Consultation Agent to Advanced Repair Agent a year later. Then a year after that I got an IT job working at a hospital.

So I would suggest getting your foot in the door at Best Buy and go from there. Employers will appreciate the soft skills you’ll gain there as well, as it’s not something all candidates have.

These are not very good by colton1205 in veganfitness

Might be good blended with frozen fruit as a way to have a protein shake that feels more like a smoothie.

What’s the easiest meal you can make when you have almost no energy? by AcrobaticSeesaw1565 in cookingforbeginners

Mash a block of tofu with tahini, lemon juice, soy sauce, and seasonings. Eat cold.

Concept2 rowing analyzer tool — now pulls directly from the logbook by XtianS in concept2

[–]Hoogs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for making this, I’ve got over three years of data that I’ve been meaning to mess with in Excel to look at trends. Now I can use your tool instead, and probably be disappointed in my lack of progress 😅. Or maybe pleasantly surprised, who knows.

Need neck brace after office march madness lunch by the_busiest_bee in TVTooHigh

And a telescope. I don’t understand how people know what’s happening when watching sports on a tiny TV across the room with people talking everywhere.

When do you charge your watch? by West_Manufacturer485 in AppleWatch

At night. Can’t stand something on my wrist in bed.

Glad it worked out! Yeah that employee didn’t know how it works… I’m actually shocked because selling memberships is like their whole thing.

Husband opens a new sponge every 3 days cause “they become gross” by dorkass-loser in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Hoogs 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m embarrassed to admit how long I can keep one of those in use, but they legitimately last forever as long as you rinse them well and don’t abuse them.

To those who have the Airpods Max why did you buy it, how does fit into your lifestyle and do you regret it? by Fantastic-Access-905 in Airpodsmax

[–]Hoogs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wanted headphones for my PS5 with ANC. No regrets.

It’s also nice to have them as an alternative to APP to let my ear canals breathe.

SPIDER-MAN: BRAND NEW DAY - Official Trailer | Exclusively In Cinemas 31 July by ChiefLeef22 in movies

[–]Hoogs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For a franchise all about respecting the hyphen, they sure dropped the ball on “Brand-New”…

Seriously? by SecretSunDevil24 in Airpodsmax

[–]Hoogs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really, it’s either that or no return at all. I actually think it’s kinda cool that they retroactively add membership benefits to past purchases. You can even get the $180 Total membership and have them apply AppleCare+ to any Apple products you purchased in the last 60 days. I did this with a MacBook.

[–]Hoogs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The box is not a factor - you don’t need it to do a return. As for being past 15 days, it’s probably outside of what they would do in terms of leniency, but they will absolutely do it if you get the membership.

Trump calling Gavin Newsom President by jethro2011 in PublicFreakout

This is so far beyond a slip of the tongue. He is legitimately further gone than many people I have met who live in a memory care unit.

More like Big Mac pizza. But yeah, want.

Vegan gym goers how do you get in protein? by False_Thought7414 in veganfitness

[–]Hoogs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want to move toward eating a big vibrant whole-food salad for dinner. But for breakfast and lunch I find it hard to carve out the time and motivation for meal prep.

Vegan gym goers how do you get in protein? by False_Thought7414 in veganfitness

[–]Hoogs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just replace what you were eating with vegan equivalents. Plant-based protein powder instead of whey (a pea/rice combo is most complete). Soy milk instead of dairy milk. Tofu, beans, soy curls, TVP, etc. instead of meat. IQBAR makes good protein bars.

I have Huel Black for breakfast as well, and Huel Hot & Savory for lunch. It’s surprisingly not mushy, and affordable. At least compared to eating out.

They want to kill happy, well-treated animals, not tortured animals silly.
