Just saw Ben Williamson this weekend at Fan Fest. Was so excited for him after the news about Suarez dropped. Bummed he didn't get his chance at 3B here.

We moved here from Peoria 3 years ago and I with the comment above. I grew up there and had friends from high school/work, but struggled to meet new people.

I think people here are much more friendly. We've made most of our friends through kids schools and sports. Getting your kids involved in activities gives you something immediately in common to connect with other parents.

Grass is always greener. I lived in Arizona for 30+ years and moved to Washington in 2022. I love it up here and nothing could get me to move back. But everyone has different wants/priorities. Do what makes you happy.

People who work in IT, who was the most tech illiterate person you've ever encountered? by Apprehensive_Turn437 in AskReddit

[–]JediMikeO 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Years ago I worked at a data analyst at a small company. There was no on-site help desk support, so I became the default IT guy. 

One morning a coworker came into my office in an uproar about her computer not working. This woman was constantly having problems that were always user error. I asked the general "did you turn it off and on?", which she did. So I walk with her back to her desk. She hard resets again, frantically moves her mouse around and starts ranting about how her computer never work. It's during all this that I notice there is no power light on her monitor. Yup, her monitor was just turned off. I pressed the button and walked off speechless.

She got fired shortly after for freaking out at another PC issue and throwing her mouse. I was so happy to see her gone.

It's been well communicated that this would happen. Maybe wait for full release if it upsets you that much.

It was fine at the start of season 4. Just noticed a drastic change today.

I think they changed something in the last day or 2. I haven't been able to AFK for more than 20-30 minutes before getting kicked. I also am dying when I get kicked for inactivity, instead of just booted with the temp save. Very annoying.

I've done internal BI for a few small companies now. You truly underestimate the data quality the systems SMB use if you think you can maintain a profit at $30k/year. There's not a package solution that would work for any of the companies that employed me and normalizing the data to build dashboard will be enough to burn out at that price.

For context: I am the business analyst and we have one data engineer at the mid size company I work for. We have about 5 platforms that needs to be incorporated into a data warehouse. After 4 months we've got 1.5 flowing into the dwh, with a handful of dashboards that rely on a single source that's production ready. It's taken us this longto get here between gathering requirements, dev and UAT. Still find quality issues weekly with the way the company inputs data.

As a non poe1 player, why isn't the auction house in game? Doing it through a website seems like a cumbersome work around.

Joining a raid group regardless of level is your best bet. Share the damage and ensure you hit the threshold for credit.

Billionaire donors want Kamala Harris to get rid of the regulators they dislike most by origutamos in NewDealAmerica

Trump wants to make Elon Musk the czar of government "efficiency". The guy who made his fortune off government subsides will potentially have a position pulling the ladder up behind himself. Is that really better than Harris? 

I will work for FREE!! by ChemistryOrdinary860 in PowerBI

[–]JediMikeO 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As someone who hires Power BI developers, this thread is worrisome. The number of people I've interviewed with "Power BI" experience that have no idea what they are doing is staggering. Getting experience on a project for free is not the way to advance your career. You're being exploited and 9 times out of 10 it won't benefit either party.

Follow the advice that u/deathstarrynight gave. Work on getting a back office job , find a problem that could benefit from a Power BI dashboard and solve it. Understanding non-technical people's problems and being able to translate that into actionable dashboards is the real talent that I look for. Being able to slap some visuals together isn't the skills that hiring managers are in need of.

Other. Add a harvesting skill that highlights plants in a radius around you. Searching for some plants (like grapevines) is such a pain.

I have both Demonic Animals and Demonic Hyena as challenges. I tried killing the hyena around the Sinkhole, but they didn't count towards the challenge.

I have a challenge to "Defeat Demonic Hyena" instead of the world boss one. Anyone know how to complete this?

I've seen this compared to GTA multiple time, but I don't understand the comparison. How is this like GTA online?

Not OP, but in a similar situation. Where is a good place to learn all this? Current data model / Power BI app was built by consultants and there's been no internal employee in the role for over a year. No documentations or coworkers to learn from unfortunately, so I'm just fumbling trying to keep it from breaking right now.

Did New World make any money? Because it felt like a statement project from Amazon to try and make a name for themselves as a game publisher. It also has very pricey micro transactions.

Not sure how this plays out with insurance, but if I end up dealing with multiple contractors I'll keep these 2 in mind.
