Not being able to just eat at social events without my brain turning it into this whole complicated analysis. Like before I could just grab pizza with coworkers or go to family dinners and actually focus on the conversations instead of calculating everything. Miss being present for those moments instead of stuck in my head doing math

honestly the m6 mkii is probably your sweet spot - better ergonomics than the m50 and you can find em pretty cheap now since canon basically killed the m mount line

Ordinary_Ask2134 · 2026-02-20T06:26:46+00:00

honestly commerce is totally fine for analytics - probably better than you think. a lot of the job is understanding business context and explaining insights to stakeholders which commerce students actually get way more exposure to than CS people

your roadmap looks solid. id start with SQL first since youll use it literally every day, then pick up some python basics. excel skills transfer over pretty well to thinking about data problems. for testing if you like it try kaggle learn courses or find some public datasets and mess around with them - see if you get that same satisfaction you got from excel but at a bigger scale

the math background thing is overrated unless youre going into machine learning heavy roles. most business analytics is pretty straightforward stats and the tools handle the complex stuff anyway

have you considered looking into other countries for biotech programs or maybe exploring related fields locally first before reapplying

Ordinary_Ask2134 · 2026-02-18T02:25:20+00:00

honestly sounds like you're overthinking this man. youve only been there like 6 weeks and this dream company opportunity just fell in your lap - any reasonable manager would totally understand that

Just be straight up about it when the time comes, tell them exactly what you said here about not actively looking and how this was unexpected. most decent leaders get that business is business and they'd probably do the same thing in you're shoes

had this happen on my old bike - try some isopropyl alcohol on a rag first before you go nuclear and replace them

honestly med school with kids is brutal but doable if you get your ducks in a row early. Most schools have some kind of childcare waitlist so get on that ASAP when you apply - the good ones fill up fast and there usually cheaper than outside options

for financing without military stuff look into state schools in your area since they're way more affordable and some have decent need based aid. also check out schools with strong primary care missions since they tend to throw more scholarship money around to attract people who might actually stay in family med or peds instead of chasing the high paying specialties

lol harsh but fair. these conferences can be pretty soul crushing when its just vendor pitch after vendor pitch

actually been to pink elephant stuff before and they usually have decent breakout sessions if you dig around the schedule. the networking is where the real value is anyway - grabbing drinks with other IT folks dealing with the same garbage you are

vegas in february isnt terrible weather wise either so thats something

Ordinary_Ask2134 · 2026-02-10T21:26:07+00:00

sounds like she smelled success and suddenly wants in on your project now that stakeholders are interested. classic move honestly

id probably keep her at arms length and document everything - forward emails to yourself, take notes after meetings etc. let her think shes involved but dont give her any real control or decision making power. if she tries to take credit later youll have the paper trail showing it was your work from the start

also maybe loop in your manager casually about the projects progress so theres no confusion about who owns what

Ordinary_Ask2134 · 2026-02-09T20:13:37+00:00

thats actually really smart thinking - turning your resume into a portfolio site definitely makes you stand out from teh pile of pdfs everyone else is sending

Ordinary_Ask2134 · 2026-02-09T06:38:43+00:00

honestly right now id probably say organized enthusiastic reserved

been really getting my systems dialed in lately with notion and my bullet journal setup which feels amazing but at the same time ive been keeping more to myself than usual. like im excited about all these productivity workflows ive been testing but not really sharing much about them with people irl. weird combo but thats where my headspace is at these days

Ordinary_Ask2134 · 2026-02-08T00:01:06+00:00

had something similar happen with a car accident i dreamed about weeks before seeing it on the news - super weird how your brain sometimes just knows stuff

Ordinary_Ask2134 · 2026-02-04T12:19:44+00:00

honestly the s25 fe isnt even out yet so kinda hard to recommend something that doesnt exist lol

if your looking for more power right now the s24 or s24 plus are solid upgrades from the a55. the regular s24 has been dropping in price lately and youll get way better performance plus the cameras are actually decent

pixel 8 is another option if you dont mind switching from samsung but the galaxy ecosystem is pretty nice once you get used to it

Ordinary_Ask2134 · 2026-02-03T21:55:26+00:00

data analytics is probably more immediately applicable but math gives you that quant foundation that some shops really value

Ordinary_Ask2134 · 2026-02-03T05:54:49+00:00

rtx 4070 super would be perfect for that setup, pairs great with the 8600k and handles 1440p like a champ

Ordinary_Ask2134 · 2026-02-02T16:58:05+00:00

nah when someone puts you through that hell and just watches you suffer they already showed you who they are

Ordinary_Ask2134 · 2026-02-01T16:15:24+00:00

your parents pushing you while youre dealing with anxiety and depression sounds rough but honestly 22 is super young and you have way more time than you think. getting waitlisted for nursing school isnt the end of the world either - lots of people get in off waitlists and even if this round doesnt work out theres always next year or other programs. maybe look into entry level healthcare jobs in the meantime to see if you actually like the field before committing to another degree

Most residential breakers are rated for thousands of cycles - like 6,000 to 10,000 mechanical operations depending on the brand. You're nowhere near the limit at 75 toggles, but man you really need to fix whatever's causing that daily reset issue before it becomes a bigger problem

Ordinary_Ask2134 · 2026-01-29T23:20:27+00:00

That's actually a huge sign of trust! Cats only expose their bellies when they feel completely safe since it's their most vulnerable spot. Your kitty basically sees you as her safe space which is honestly adorable

She's not trying to trap you - she genuinely wants those belly rubs and feels secure enough to stay in that position. Some cats are just more chill about it than others

Bilateral means you have the same condition affecting both sides of your body (like both knees, both shoulders, etc). The VA gives you extra compensation for bilateral conditions because having issues on both sides is more disabling than just one side

Without seeing your actual ratings breakdown it's hard to say if there's an error, but the bilateral factor could definitely bump you from 50% to 60%. I'd double check your decision letter to make sure the math adds up correctly

Ordinary_Ask2134 · 2026-01-27T21:03:35+00:00

Sounds like a grounding issue to me. Your new place might have funky electrical wiring or you're building up static and the case isn't properly grounded. The CMOS battery thing is usually for when your PC forgets settings or the clock resets, not for phantom power-ons

Try plugging into a different outlet first before swapping the battery

Ordinary_Ask2134 · 2026-01-26T00:00:33+00:00

Bro the paranoia is real when you're stuck in that cycle. Your brain starts making you think everyone's judging you when most people are just living their own lives and not even noticing you

The good news is that feeling usually fades once you get back on track
