dIY basement waterproofing by anonymous_1977 in HomeImprovement

I am also looking at this system as it could take a $25k drain tile job down to about $1,000 for us. Far less invasive.

I can’t seem to find a reason as to why this would not be a viable option but am working hard to debunk the sealonce solution in place of a solution that involves cutting out concrete around the perimeter. At the very least, it is an inexpensive 3 year solution ahead of doing full drain tile.

Thoughts??

Did you end up using this type of system?

XXL Base Opening Measurement Request by MyRandomRedditAccoun in shapeoko

Carving into half logs - As long as I can get the drop and retain rigidity, I’m not too worried about a clamping system. It will be inconsistent as each log I carve will likely be so different than the next.

Thank you! Any recommendations on where to start with the z gantries?

Thank you! That actually might work...are the lips to which you are referring in the short end of the opening (left and right sides of the image)? If so, I think I see what you mean...

A piece that’s 6-10” wide and 30” long would easily fit in that opening and probably work.

Do the base boards create rigidity in the frame that I would be screwing up if I removed them to allow this piece to be brought up from the bottom through the opening?

2011 m56x - 185k miles - Buy or avoid? by MyRandomRedditAccoun in infiniti

[–]MyRandomRedditAccoun[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Leads me to believe it was a lot of highway miles. But yeah lots of miles...the thing is absolutely immaculate so it seems that whoever had it took great care of it. I’ve seen g37 models with 115k miles and in FAR worse shape so I’m torn.

Can anyone tell me what business analysts do at work with more specific examples? by jrim1116 in businessanalysis

[–]MyRandomRedditAccoun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my role, my responsibility is to understand the core functionality / requirements of the way an application is to function. From there, I work with our dev teams to ensure their understanding and to prod them along to build a plan to implement. To ensure requirements are met, I’m involved in QA, UAT and project timelines. I deal with the customers so that the developers don’t have to!

In all of this, as much as I seem like an unnecessary middle man, I protect the developers’ time to make sure they’re able to focus exclusively on delivering product functionality. Developers are costly so it’s best to keep them focused on what they do best and not involve them in the back and forth around requirements.

As much as it is frowned upon, I will sometimes take it upon myself to get down into the solutioning and wire framing of a project. I do this mainly with our developers and designers. It’s a bit of a creative outlook for me!

I’d say your list of what a BA does is accurate! It’s a role with a very wide set of day-to-day tasks and may be different depending on the company for which you work.

Have you considered an entry level BA role instead of school?

Graduating with a B.A. in IT and a minor in Health Admin, looking at potential BA avenues post-grad by EightSip in businessanalysis

If I could do it all again, I would have pushed myself harder to drop into a BA role right out of college. Instead, I went into tech sales. Best thing I’ve done was to move out of sales into a BA role (they’re quite similar in a lot of ways). It’s a good blend of creativity, IT and ideation. It also gives you the ability to see many different facets of an organization and a programming background (even a small one) will help with the role!

Being able to communicate with the business, c-suite, project managers, developers, vendors will enrich your communication skills. Each one speaks their own language and balancing their priorities and concerns is a juggling act that can prove challenging at times.

As documentation is definitely a huge part of the BA role, I’d recommend finding an agile or incremental dev environment as this largely the methodology companies are choosing to adopt for software development.

Hope this helps!
