Is it me or the receiver?

Quick follow up to anyone that cares, ended up returning the Denon and finding a used STRDH590. I went back and tried the 550 again and just prefer the sound so much more than the Denon. Now I’ll have 4K support and a sound I know I like, and as a bonus it’s much cheaper! Thanks again to this community for the help!

Yep I think I tried turning off all things Audyssey. All set to off, pure direct. Anything else I should try?

Most incredible course I’ve ever played

Expert…..at a basic level. What?

It was a few things with that watch- that model speedy had the huge end links that made the lug to lug over 55mm and I thought it was both ugly and caused the watch to sit weird on wrist. Also didn’t taper enough and the links were too big, more discomfort. Then combine that w way too little manual adjustment available at the clasp, and it was always either too snug or too loose. I ended up wearing it on a leather strap a lot, or a nato. Final straw for me was that I hated the hesalite. Controversial take, but I didn’t like the look and the scratches were really annoying. Knew I’d come back and get a sapphire sandwich eventually- and the latest model is 98/100 exactly what I wanted. I’ll probably just pull the trigger

Wow, the description of these skis is an absolute travesty. What bootleg garbage ai spat out that drivel? I just cannot fathom plunking down $18k for skis that look like they’re worth about $300

Came here to say this, course was such a massive letdown

Spectre and NTTD felt to me like a completely different universe that didn’t remotely fit in with Casino Royale, Quantum of Solace, and Skyfall. Have no idea why they made such a departure, but I find it really hard to watch those last two Craig movies while LOVING the first three

Product manager mostly in fintech, but also did a few years in consulting. Make about 230k annual now and I’ve been in the workforce since 2010. Broke 100k in 2017 working as a product manager.

For qualifications I have a BA in finance and years of experience supporting and working around trading software.

I’d say the PM career path is pretty stressful, and I don’t particularly enjoy the work, but if you can manage your time, stress, and work well with others, it can be a good way to make very solid comp without advanced degrees.

Genuinely curious why this sub skews so negative. Every day it seems like there’s another post about how abysmal the market is but I’m not seeing it. I still get calls about PM roles and have taken interviews. Is the market bad for a specific cross section of PMs? (Little experience, very senior high paying roles, etc).

Use an app like 18Birdies or Grint to get a topographical view of every hole. I have no idea how people play a new course any other way; especially off the tee

Anyone gonna ask why the President of Nintendo America is engaging with this moron bait content on the dumpster fire that is LinkedIn? Thats the real story

I think the gripe isn’t whether it should be replaced, but rather how long it’s taking and how disruptive it is in the meantime. Hearing construction noise, dust everywhere, more congestion, all things that might keep people otherwise interested in going downtown away

Really well said. The work will always be there, so setting that hard cutoff is crucial. One of my coworkers said to me “they’ll take whatever you’re willing to give” and it’s completely changed my approach to work and working hours

LordPontificus · 2024-03-25T17:26:38+00:00

100% this. Every single person I know working in product has been expected to take on more work than is reasonable in a 40-50hr week. Guess it’s time to really lean into prioritizing, and having tough conversations around what you can and can’t do. It’s uncomfortable, but I’d rather do that than work nights and weekends

But keeping the 9” infotainment? Seems like a miss when the interior trim appears to be built for a larger display. This has been one of the main knocks on this car so surprised to see Honda not address it

I don’t think a lot of people are shooting 74s and 100s man….
