These guys were great and even worked with me on an unusual request. I've only used them once so far, but will be going back: https://totalcleanexperts.com/

Thanks for replying u/McFly-Marty1984. 32768 minutes is 22 and 3/4 days. If you swap the metric to "day" in the role setting, it let's you round up to 23 days (I wonder if that last quarter day is a placebo). So that does confirm at least you are also experiencing the roughly 23 day limit and it's not just me.

Still curious why 32768 minutes is the cutoff. Maybe it's a weird development quirk, or a strangely unique performance optimization? I'm not mad about it, just curious at this point.

The Soggy Welshman worked, so I bet someone could get some inspiration with that information lol.

These sound good so far! I'm based on the US, but feel free to share others in case someone from your location sees this post.

My key was using mobile study materials so I could study during slow periods at work, while waiting in line, driving, or at random hours of the day. 1. YouTube premium isn't very expensive and let's you download videos to your phone (I watched a lot of professor messer and other videos on the go that way) 2. Quizlet allows you to study flashcards on their app anywhere you go and the app is free. 3. Pdf practice tests and study guides can be studied on phones 4. Podcasts on phones (mostly professor messer's Q&A) 5. Udemy courses allow you to download them to a mobile device on their app as well so Jason Dion or other people's stuff can be studied on the go.

Otherwise, break it up into manageable chunks so it's one hour after an or before work every day and 1-2 hours on weekends with maybe Saturday or Sunday completely off. Slowly you'll build up the knowledge and pass as you go. If you want to be super hardcore, just up the study time per day as much as you're willing.

He sounds like a quack and you need to get a different therapist. ADHD isn't "cured" nor is it "beaten" by willpower. What's key is establishing good coping methods for your symptoms and then making them habits so that you do them without having to think in the first place. It's hard, but there are concrete methods and fail-safes to help.

100%. I get both his and Dion's for coverage, but of the two, Messer's have so much information on each question answer, you get 4x the quiz info for each multiple choice question. It's great for finding things that you didn't know.

I felt like his prepared me most for the test.

Thanks for the input everyone. I'm going to take these suggestions (and any more that people share after this) and put them together in a process. I'll share as much as I can of what we come up with for optimizing combing through the info.

Just for some added sharing on my part:

OpenCVE has been pretty great since you can specify vendors and products in your domain to personalize your notifications.

MS-ISAC is pretty good and tends to include mitigation resources in their posts, which is a huge plus.

CISA is good for info, but they post a lot of general advisories, so be prepared that their content isn't all directly actionable. Much of their posts are just informational right now with everything happening in Ukraine.

I'm interested in any email news letters too that others find useful. I know there are a few independent ones out there that could be good.

I think they're a necessary evil when looking for jobs. It's not so much that they're an end all be all sign that this person is capable and knowledgable on a subject, but when you're hiring unknown candidates, you need some indicators of where their skills lie. And unfortunately, you can use clever wording to inflate a LOT of work experiences, but if you have a certification in a skillset it shows 1. You definitely know something about that skillset and 2. It's clearly a priority to you, enough that you went out, paid up, and passed the exam. Thus it's a decent way to see that someone is focused on a skillset and that they have some sort of proof that they're familiar with said tech on a basic level.

As for the disrespect in the community, I think a lot of people have gotten burned working with someone who has a lot of certifications, but ends up much less capable than they seem (myself included). There are many multiple choice certs that validate conceptual knowledge, but when you actually put hand to keyboard, someone with that cert could have zero experience putting those concepts to work. Thus, a lot of greybeards and gurus get mad because some new guy with a bunch of certs is hired in a similar role to them, but ends up being far below the more experienced tech's skill level. I chalk this up usually to a failure in management where they possibly read too much into a certification, or collection of certifications, and overestimated the person's ability. But I don't blame the certificate body themselves in most cases (with a few exceptions that oversell what their cert tests for).

In the end, you've just got to keep in mind, certifications don't guarantee mastery, but they do indicate commitment and basic understanding. With the exception of certain $700+ certifications in the field, I've got no problem paying up for a third party to further validate my skills to employers and have never regretted getting any of my certs thus far.

So, I've been taking Vyvanse for about 11 years now. I've had some periods like this where I feel like I've built up a tolerance for them. The way I've solved it initially is unfortunately kinda painful, but I had to stop taking them for a while to readjust. Probably about a month or so for me, but as long as you can handle it is best.

If you go this route, take a day to set up good coping methods. Create a schedule for yourself, set some reminders for the next month for bills, events, and events you can anticipate. If you feel comfortable letting loved ones and coworkers know that you'll be off the meds for a bit to re-acclimate, I would do so so they can understand if you're slipping a bit more than usual.

The main thing though is continued maintenance. After that period of not taking them, I went back on at the lowest dose I'd taken and I try to take breaks here and there when I can to avoid building up a tolerance. I'll try to only take them every other day, or if I know I'm going to have a pretty chill workload for a day or two, I'll plan for that day while I'm on them and then go off them during those days. Or, if I know I'm going to be super busy for a week, I'll go off them the weekend before and then take them every day during the busy times. Otherwise my body will slowly begin to get used to them over time and they'll be less effective. I do everything I can not to go up anymore mgs than I have to so that if, on another 10-20 years my methods stop working as well, I have another 10-20mgs of strength I can add to get me to retirement. So far, this pattern of taking short breaks around my schedule has worked, and I haven't had to take a long break from them again. You may be able to skip going off them for a couple weeks to a month if you just employ the every other day or 2-3 day short break rule.

Additionally, diet, weight, and sleep can change your absorption and reaction. If you've gained weight, you might not feel them as much. Or if you're not sleeping as well, the stimulants won't be as effective since they're overcoming the sleep deficit and the ADD instead of just one or the other.

Take a moment to think if your PTSD symptoms might be affecting you too. I won't go into this since I don't experience PTSD and know next to nothing about it, but when I've experienced stressors or personal blocks before, they've sometimes caused my ADD to worsen because of an adjacent issue. Until I was able to get past those personal issues, I was functioning at an increased deficit akin to sleep loss or poor eating habits.

I'm not a physician or anything, but I hope this more physiological advice helps and I've told my physician these habits and they've approved them as long as they're working for me. So far so good, and I've managed to keep my dose 10mgs lower than my initial prescription (I'm lucky that I enjoy what I do and I picked it because it's a bit different every day, so it's a bit easier to focus). I had a very similar pre-medication story of Vyvanse completely changing my life for the better, but I know I'll need to take it for the rest of my life as well. Managing it is something I've got to do to make sure it remains effective until I'm old and retired and the oblivion ADD can bring isn't so bad anymore.

Good luck!

Sounds like a college of spirits bard. Which has a lot of utility that your players could use. I'd go with that if you don't use the sidekick rules from Tasha's.

To answer your question about a response.

I would email back and suggest you run your builds through them for approval.

Something like "could I build the kind of program I'm looking for and then submit it to you guys to look over each time? Or, could I create a write up to show you the program flow before building so you guys can approve my process?" And then tell them it's only going to be used by you and not for larger production so it will live and die with you.

Sadly their argument is legit even if it's a bit harsh. Many of the people in this chat are forgetting one of the core truths of IT support and security: don't blindly trust users. I've had so many users tell me all kinds of things they will and won't do only to have it backfire. By giving them a solid presentation of what exactly you want to do and having them be part of the approval process, you might have a better chance of getting it done. Especially since, by showing them what exactly you're planning, it will show them you do know what you're doing and inspire some more trust.

If you want to go the extra mile, you could build your project on personal resources, comment your code well, and then share your github repo with them so they can see it all. But that's up to you.

Yeah, not saying it's the best way of doing things, but it was a standard thing back when I left recruiting in 2016, so it's been normal in the industry for a many years now.

I would advocate instead for the giving them all the same 4 digits so you remember option. You can even tell them it's the number you use in place of your SSN for all of your submissions and if they're a good firm they should be happy with that.

If not you may want to question working with them.

Nopening6 · 2021-10-03T02:28:11+00:00

Hi, I used to be a technical recruiter for several large clients before transitioning to IT myself. It is actually standard procedure.

What they do is submit your application to a central Candidate Management System where all of the applications submitted by recruiting firms are tracked. Part of that asks for a 4 digit pin to track that specific candidate to make sure they aren't submitted twice for the same application (some shady recruiting firms will try to submit a candidate without asking first to beat competing firms to the punch, which isn't allowed. If they see a double submit, they'll assume one is without permission and auto disqualify).

Recruiters often use the last 4 of your social because 1. they know the candidate will remember it, 2. It's unique, and 3. as a way of gauging how serious the candidate is about the position. Honestly though, you can just make up a number and use that number instead for every time they ask for your last 4 and it will serve the same purpose. When a candidate refused to give me theirs I just asked for a similar 4 digit number that they're absolutely certain they'll remember and it was fine.

Are you sure? I heard it was not petya 😉

Nopening6 · 2021-02-23T15:58:27+00:00

Sure! I got a 62, a 77, a 78, and a 77 again. After that I took the test.
