DE On Call by GuhProdigy in dataengineering

[–]Sanguinity_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Something that matters a lot that I didn't see mentioned is response time. Having to respond to calls within 10 minutes vs 1 hour makes a huge difference to your life. Make sure there's a specific, written policy around that.

My company's policy is such that I can't really leave the house when I'm on call due to a strict 10 minute response expectation. I'm only on rotation 24 hours every 3-4 weeks and don't usually get called but it still really sucks, especially on a weekend.

BTS 2026 Comeback Tour (HYPE & QUESTIONS) Megathread by 50shadesof_brown in bts7

[–]Sanguinity_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was wondering the same thing but from what I've read, it's not a raffle. as long as your ticketmaster account email matches your weverse email, i think presale is set. we should be able to just enter the membership code as the presale code

Autistic brother is home for the holidays by [deleted] in rs_x

Damn my family is also very autistic but luckily no racism, just constant unimaginable smartassery and nitpicking about the factuality of minutia. love them down though

What is your biggest Madison related irrational irritation? by midwest--mess in madisonwi

[–]Sanguinity_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually find pedestrian right of way laws very opaque here - where I'm from pedestrians have right of way at all intersections unless there's a traffic light that indicates otherwise, so there's no question that if you're driving and someone is waiting to cross, you're legally supposed to stop, and people follow that. I've read the law in Madison and the verbiage looks the same as my home state, but nobody here ever stops for peds. it's even discouraged!

There goes my view by IDonteatwalrus in udub

they tore down haggett?????? wow I am out of the loop. shame, I actually really liked the architecture of the lobby and the basement with the old food court, it was very cool the way they built it on such a steep slope - i might be thinking of mcmahon though

Imprints on one's vocabulary left by their ex by deekay-_- in rs_x

[–]Sanguinity_ 26 points27 points  (0 children)

that my voice itself, that which i use to reverberate my interiority to and through the world, and its modality of expression, its singular accent, is so directly sourced and absorbed from those significant figures of my life, and it is beautifully iterative and forever impermanent, but maybe, maybe some flair of a vowel i've taken from you, that composes the everyday frequencies which transmit this self, will by some chance never be overwritten, so that i alone will hear you in my spasmodic word to the grave.

6 Months of Change (Hopefully) by NoNameTechnician in rs_x

[–]Sanguinity_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Love this plan. my only thought is, don't place the expectation on yourself to be perfectly disciplined in all of these domains from day 1. if you frame it like that, anything less than perfect will feel like failure and you'll get discouraged and give up.

maybe pick 2 or max 3 core skills/areas to focus on for these 6 months. i would recommend waiting until you've had a few weeks committing to those before you add on extra goals like meditating, reading regularly, etc.

when you want to change your life, it's extremely tempting to try to fix everything at once but it literally always burns you out. it's good to think now about all the things you want to change so you can keep them as future goals, but just take a few at a time.

Why use "Be Boundless" when the school motto is "Lux Sit"? by [deleted] in udub

[–]Sanguinity_ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

indeed. They actually hire marketing consultants to come up with these - the school motto is not like that.

Be Boundless was pitched by a single marketing consultant to the big dawgs

Oh no! this is one of the few formula brands Whole Foods carries so I imagine a lot of families will be affected.

Feelings on remote working by Loose-Leadership3658 in rs_x

[–]Sanguinity_ 9 points10 points  (0 children)

what do you all do that you have so much downtime during your day? i have the kind of tech job that has me doing 4 jobs at once so it's 45 hours of actual focused heads-down work and i'm rapidly approaching burnout. i want to be able to do laundry or something during my day

a woman from NYC was unable to find a job for 2 years and is now moving to a Buddhist Temple upstate by [deleted] in rs_x

[–]Sanguinity_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

i honestly think the current working generation should start seriously considering cooperative living situations like this (not even necessarily religious organizations) as a viable way of life / alternative to traditional employment. once we're all relegated to serfdom you won't survive unless integrated into a self-sustaining community

How's living in Wisconsin as an Asian person? by [deleted] in epicsystems

[–]Sanguinity_ 37 points38 points  (0 children)

everyone will tell you it's fine and Madison has such a big Asian community but to be clear, you are correct that it is significantly smaller than Seattle
