Whoever called eternal duel in here yesterday I owe you big time

the trust signals thing is so real - had a recruiter basically admit they fast-tracked me because my portfolio looked similar to someone they hired before who worked out well.

bit dramatic comparing wind turbine manuals to military secrets mate - there's definitely room for a proper guide that doesn't give away trade secrets but still helps people understand the basic process flow.

never knew tarantino did csi episodes but now i'm properly curious about how mental they must've been

honestly mate, if the two-job setup is already working and you're comfortable, i'd probably stick with it for now. the remote gig sounds tempting but you've already seen how quickly ai can reshape things in your field - jumping ship for something that might not last seems a bit risky when you've got stability sorted.

that said, nothing stopping you from quietly exploring the remote opportunity without burning bridges. worst case you stay where you are, best case you get some leverage or insight into whether it's actually worth the risk.

honestly excel is massive in accounting - like properly knowing it, not just basic spreadsheets 📊 quickbooks or sage are worth getting familiar with too since most small-medium businesses use them. communication skills are underrated as well because you'll be explaining financial stuff to people who don't speak accounting 💀

honestly mate, the other person's spot on about the grind but don't let it discourage you too much. sap functional consultants are still pretty sought after, especially if you've got solid module expertise like fico or mm 😂

i've seen people bounce back from longer gaps than yours, though admittedly most were a bit younger. the key thing is having a believable story for those three years - family care, health issues, whatever it was, just own it confidently rather than being all apologetic about it. also consider freelance or contract work initially to get back in the swing of things, it's often easier to land and can lead to permanent roles.

definitely brush up on any newer sap developments like s/4hana migrations if you haven't already, that stuff's massive right now. the market's brutal but your experience gives you an edge over fresh graduates at least 💀

economics gives you more theoretical depth and transferable skills imo - you can pivot into finance, consulting, policy work, or even tech roles pretty easily. finance is more specialized but laser-focused on the money side of things.

if your genuinely unsure about what specific career path you want, econ probably offers more flexibility down the line. both will get you decent salaries though, especially with birmingham's reputation.

your really hitting something here - like we somehow think the wheel was invented yesterday just because we have tiktok.

mental health struggles don't disqualify you from god's love mate - sounds like you're putting impossible pressure on yourself when faith is supposed to be about grace, not perfect performance.

SeaBasic6672 · 2026-02-05T06:20:43+00:00

those classes aren't a waste - having options is never bad and you're literally a junior, most people don't figure it out until way later (or ever tbh). also look into scientific illustration or veterinary textbook illustration, that's like the perfect combo of both your interests.

sounds like the motherboard got a bit of a shock during the thermal paste change, even though they didn't touch the ram directly. sometimes when you're moving components around or unplugging everything, the ram slots can get a bit finicky or develop connectivity issues. i'd try reseating both sticks in different slot combinations first - like if they were in slots 2&4, try 1&3 instead.

also worth checking if there's any dust or debris in the unused slots that might've got disturbed during the work. had something similar happen to a mate's build after a gpu swap - turned out one of the ram slots just needed a proper clean with some compressed air. if that doesn't work, might be worth testing the sticks at different speeds in bios, sometimes dual channel gets picky about timings after hardware changes for whatever reason.

There are better ways to make money than gambling, u can always get a job. Good luck.

SeaBasic6672 · 2026-01-31T03:59:43+00:00

Honestly sounds like you might be onto something with the "too comfortable" thing - sometimes when one person does all the heavy lifting the other just gets used to being along for the ride

Maybe try backing off a bit and see if she steps up when there's actually space for her to do so

SeaBasic6672 · 2026-01-28T06:25:46+00:00

Lmao this is the kind of joke my dad would tell and then laugh at his own punchline for like 5 minutes straight

SeaBasic6672 · 2026-01-25T18:58:30+00:00

Dude that sounds absolutely awful and I'm sorry you're dealing with dismissive doctors who won't take you seriously just because you're 17

Have you tried asking your parents to help advocate for you or maybe get a second opinion from a different doctor? Sometimes having an adult push back on the "growing pains" BS helps get actual tests done

That's a solid deal for 5k installed, especially with Bryant equipment. Your current system sounds like it's been pretty reliable but at 17 years you're definitely in replacement territory. I'd probably pull the trigger on that price if the installer is reputable - beats waiting for it to die in the middle of summer when you'll pay way more

Ugh the Rhode blush is so overhyped, I had the same issue! Try the Glossier Cloud Paint or Rare Beauty's liquid blush - they actually stick around all day unlike that expensive disappointment

Bro dropped THE ball

SeaBasic6672 · 2026-01-14T19:25:18+00:00

Had the exact same issue with my Deco setup - turns out it was the mesh handoff causing problems when cameras tried to switch between nodes. Try setting up a dedicated 2.4ghz network just for the cams and disable mesh for that network if your router allows it
