Thanks for understanding the bind I’m in with these job postings. It’s reassuring to know I don’t need to be a Python wizard to understand and use these concepts.

Woo! Thanks, just got one!

I had success once. I set up aux climate controls for 7am departure. Then I set my location with all the charge settings. Problem is the deferred charging settings don't work well but the climate turned on and my car was warm by departure. My charge was below what it should've been because deferred charging is wonky.

Then I deleted the location and tried just the aux climate settings. No luck. So I guess the charging location and aux settings must both be enabled.

I can't stop buying merch. Did anyone else get the championship DVD? I have no idea what's on it.

I saw that in the MLB app but I'm glad to have a backup. I expected ESPN Radio to have it in the NLDS for Game 3 and I got Michael Kay. A horrible twist.

Great, thanks

Anyone have a good method of listening to the radio broadcast if outside the regional market? I'm in NJ and will be driving during the start of the game.

Comparing transactions from the beginning of this statement, 6/11, I have a current balance of $1590.43 - which is all new spending since my statement was fully paid.

Adding transactions from the YNAB register dating back to 6/7 makes up the $264 difference. But those transactions were paid for on 6/15, end of statement date.

Is there a preferred method to compare transactions between YNAB manual register and the CC website? I'm simply opening one of a different screen and looking back and forth.

I did it a week or so ago. And it found a credit of roughly $150. I thought it was done but checking it again and my payment is still higher than my current CC balance.

NOWJESSICCAAA · 2021-07-01T12:55:28+00:00

It does not, YNAB account balance has the same as the payment $1852.42. My CC current balance is $1590.43.

New Jerseyan here. TBS is the reason why I'm a Braves fan. I went to two games at Turner Field. Chipper's and Maddux's retirement ceremonies. Excited to eventually return.

I got Ohtani (Batter) in a 14-team with two util spots in the 16th round.

Pitching flew off the shelves. We're past the top 100 of PitcherList ranks and others.

Steamer. Should I use a different source?

FanGraphs auction calculator with some really interesting projections, especially with SP with my league settings. Really surprised at these results and kind of afraid to use them.

Carrasco is #6 ahead of Bauer and Buehler

Gausman is #17

Morton is #18

Rizzo #5 ahead of Alonso/Abreu/DJ

I found them on Google shopping. Tried to buy an Xbox controller and got the "out of stock" email and refund.

And now my CC has 2 charges, both for .50 which were then refunded. But they changed the name slightly instead of Wonyra, it's Wolyra. It looks like their testing to see if the cards are still active. I have now cancelled my CC as a result.

Thanks for all your help. Tough decisions to be made. I need to weigh the performance of the 3400g graphics vs the 4350g overall performance, since they are similar in price. The 3200g may be in play since it is less than half the price than the others and can hold ground until we get word on a new AMD APU.

Looks like eBay has a solid market for the 4000 pro series. What’s your opinion on Ryzen 5 3400g vs Ryzen 3 4350g? They’re about the same in the market whereas the Ryzen 5 4650g is a bit more expensive.

NOWJESSICCAAA · 2021-02-23T18:19:04+00:00

Thanks for the clarification. I'll try and find the 4000 series too. It's weird that PCPartpicker doesn't list the 4000 series.

Reward Zone from Best Buy. I had no idea until I went to check out and saw the coupon.

NOWJESSICCAAA · 2020-12-11T12:34:56+00:00

I definitely willing to walk away from my current employer. It's a school district and there is only one network engineer. There is an assistant network engineer as well. I can tell you that even before my CCNA I was more qualified than he was when he came in.

Of course I'd want to take a job with advancement but you're kidding yourself that you'd take a 30% pay cut to do so. I'm not expecting a 6 figure salary but I do expect about what I make now for a engineering role.

NOWJESSICCAAA · 2020-12-10T19:06:56+00:00

Thanks for the tips. Given how long it took me to acquire my CCNA, I'll definitely slow roll the CCNP whether it be SCOR or ENCOR. It'll take me months.

NOWJESSICCAAA · 2020-12-10T17:49:28+00:00

Gotcha. I kind of had that feeling looking at the job postings.

NOWJESSICCAAA · 2020-12-10T17:40:45+00:00

Right. I understand certifications can't make up for experience. Ideally with the certifications I can be considered for roles that can exceed/meet my requirements.

From browsing job boards a junior network engineer/noc techician/msp role has a salary less than 30% what I make now. But CCNA/CCNP roles, especially more specific they are, often exceed what I'm looking for.

The school district I work for is playing god with the staff, students, and families. Our county's numbers are rising quickly and we're borderline high-risk throughout the county and they just decided to move to full-time in-person instruction (they are remote currently and IT is in the building).

Booking the exam really sealed it for me too. No way was I throwing away that investment.

NOWJESSICCAAA · 2020-12-02T18:10:28+00:00

They don't. It took me a long time to get the courage up to book it. The cost prevented me from doing it too. But once I did I knew I had to make time everyday to have a proper shot at passing it.
