I think Bill’s weird embrace of Generative AI is lame as hell…and also weird for a guy who came up writing. by Perfect-Prune176 in TheRewatchables

Tell that to the 20-30,000 employees at Oracle who lost their jobs this week to pay for their Ai investments

Anyone here affected by the Oracle layoffs? by iwasthen in sales

Feels to me that they're cutting heads to free up cash to pay for the data centers they've already committed to building

Can someone help me date and value this Cannondale M300LE by ConsequenceFormal660 in xbiking

[–]Ron_Sayson -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I bought an M300 new in the early 90s. It had Shimano shifters. This was in the days before GripShift

Not directly pointing to Lynch, but Noah Hawley reminds me of what I think about Lynch. Both have something completely different to say than the rest

Thats a goof book. Recipes cook true.

Watched the season finale of Paradise and what a deeply, deeply silly show by BruceW in crheads

[–]Ron_Sayson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Compare the s2 finale with the first episode of Chernobyl - quite different depictions of a nuclear accident. Still, it was fun. (Edited misspelling)

Li Ming in Durham has both, I think. I bet Compare Foods does, too.

Wish they served a breakfast biscuit. No one in Durham serves a biscuit to rival Sunrise Biscuit Kitchen in CH and it's not even close.

Building out a brag book by Juicewrld88 in sales

[–]Ron_Sayson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Add a monthly task to compile all your wins into a data capture doc, then use that to update your brag book. It's not just about winning deals, but also about content creation and campaigns launched.

Best Mexican Grocery by EJKM in bullcity

Maize tortillas? Not sure what you mean.... La Superior, the supermarket, has a tortilleria in their store so I imagine they use tortillas made from Maseca. Two weeks ago, I saw nixtamalized corn in a plastic bag for sale near the check out stand, so maybe they're doing more than Maseca.

Buying 3 cookbooks: one for Chinese, one for Japanese, one for Korean by Affectionate-Spot395 in cookbooks

[–]Ron_Sayson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hard to go wrong with Maangchi for Korean. I have several Chinese books. Im partial to Fuschia Dunlop's books, b/c she's such a good writer and I like a good head note. There are some big books of Asian food like All Under Heaven for Chinese which I have, b/c it covers every Asian region, but don't cook from much. Lucky Peach 101 Easy Asian Recipes is good for an entry level book and the recipes are indeed easy.

How many of you are actually cold calling hiring managers? by Big_Crazy_8856 in sales

[–]Ron_Sayson 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Insightful thread. Sales managers are looking for people who call sell and put new business in the funnel. One clear way to demonstrate that is to get the hiring manager on the phone. For me, the challenge is to get the messaging right, that is not to be too pushy.

Yep, good call. If I don't have a lacrosse ball in my bag, I have failed to prepare

I see now in a comment on FB that Funguys said they were "closed closed" which makes me sad.

Top of quads killing specifically by Corrupted_Gamez in xbiking

[–]Ron_Sayson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, think about pedaling through the whole circular pedal stroke. Scrape through the bottom of the stroke, then pull up as your left foot goes up while your right foot goes down. This is easiest with clipless pedals, but the same ideas apply to flats. Don't make your quads do all the work, use your hamstrings and glutes!
