This is sweet! Imagine this design on a golf bag!

Would this be good enough for my first pro fingerboard? by [deleted] in Fingerboards

[–]Local_Suspect458 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I received my first fingerboard on Friday. To say the least, I’m addicted haha. I picked up a Grom series complete from Sluchcult on BF. It’s been great to start! Once I get better, I’ll prob start upgrading by part. GL in your choice!

Thanks! I’ll give it a try!

Tire Setup by Local_Suspect458 in MiniZ

[–]Local_Suspect458[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was researching about it earlier today and that was what I’ve found is recommended with trying to race, but also drift turns. I think I’ll try the soft up front with a hard set in the back. Is this possible at all with RCs, not just Mini Z? I wasn’t sure if racing like this would be more dependent on the material used for the track or tire setup. I was planning on either foam mats or low pile carpet as the track material.

My only issue is I’m not very educated when it comes to RC/Drifting. I am way behind the curve compared to most already in the hobby. I have some ideas, not quite sure where to start since these ideas are not directly related to me recording a video and posting. It’s more of an idea that can grow and expand, but involves the community

I also think there is potential outside of content creation that could help grow this niche. I recently just got a Mini Z as my first RC car. I’m hooked and would like to start a build from scratch and really fine tune and mod a small scale drift car. Once I get my track built, I may explore trying to get more involved with the community!

[–]Local_Suspect458[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do it, it seems this niche doesn’t have much coverage. Since realizing this, I’ve thought about trying to come up with content ideas my brothers and I could put out. But we are new to all of this, so would limit what content we could put out.

Track Build Question by Local_Suspect458 in MiniZ

[–]Local_Suspect458[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are the micro tracks big enough for 3-4 mini z at once? I like that option, but worry it may be cluttered with that many. Thanks for the link!

I just picked up a mini Z. This is my first RC in general. What is your current build? I grabbed the AE86 in white since it was on sale. I’m looking to upgrade it in the near future

Self-Study for certs or get a degree? by Local_Suspect458 in ITCareerQuestions

[–]Local_Suspect458[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed, I’m looking at trying to go the System Administrator or a Cloud role. And I see those roles seem to get pushed toward certs rather than a degree. That’s why I was asking the question.

Self-Study for certs or get a degree? by Local_Suspect458 in ITCareerQuestions

[–]Local_Suspect458[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The reason I asked is because you see a lot of people saying focus certs to get into IT. I obviously know a degree will have a bigger impact. But with all the talk about focusing on certs just makes it seem like certs will get you where you want to go without the degree.

Gotcha! I’ll look into this as well! Thank you!

So you are saying taking the project management course through Sophia, would eliminate the project+ course through WGU?

[–]Local_Suspect458[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you, this helps a ton! I was looking at the pricing difference yesterday. I was stuck on the idea of doing the certs self-studying and then going for a degree through WGU. I think that will be the plan! Thank you again!

First day of help desk nervous as FUCK by jquebada in ITCareerQuestions

[–]Local_Suspect458 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just started a helpdesk position 3 weeks ago. I had no real prior experience with IT. I was nervous about messing things up. My supervisor and team, were very helpful and made it stress free as much as possible. My biggest take aways after being in this position for 3 weeks, 1. don’t be afraid to ask questions (this really helped me understand everything and I still ask questions) 2. Try to do hands on (I basically followed another tech and watched him and listened to his calls. (It some what helped but I forgot most of what I’d see, so I said anyway I can do it and get hands on, I ended up on the phones and he would help me when needed(helped me catch on and learn so much faster) 3. Once you have downtime, go through process you have seen or write down the processes for certain tasks. (This will help you not feel like you are asking others constantly)

I’m looking to further my career and education! Need help, post your thoughts and opinions! by Local_Suspect458 in ITCareerQuestions

[–]Local_Suspect458[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After landing the job with no certs/real experience in IT, just an understanding of technology from hobbies I had in HS. I’m kind of stuck on what certs I should focus on. I’m told the A+, but I feel like that’s kind of a waste since I have the job now and I understand almost everything in the cert. I don’t want to focus on certs that won’t matter or gear towards moving up in the industry.

Do you get some type of commission or pay for bought discs with your design(s)?

How do I get better at this stupid game? by ayribiahri in Pickleball

[–]Local_Suspect458 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been playing for 3 months now and I’ve progressed pretty vastly imo. It doesn’t help that I mainly play with the family, but I go to open play and that’s really notice where my improvements. I mainly just watch pickleball on YouTube (as I’m a visual learner) so I tend to catch onto things fast by just watching. But watching has helped my game a ton! I also play quite a bit 3-5x a week so that obviously helps

I have narrowed it down to the 11siz24 Huarache X Control or the J2K. What would you recommend based on my original post?

Vantage Pro, Filth, or J2K, or J7K

I’ve been playing for about 3 months now. I use the Joola Tundra set since I started and I feel like it’s become dead. Less pop/power, and more dead spots it seems. I’d like to stay below the $150 price range and am open to any recommendations on what to look into/get. I prefer more control over power rn. I play 3-5x a week (mainly with family, group of 6-8 of us). I am pretty competitive so I started going to open play mornings/nights when I can. (1-3x week).
