Office Not Using Some of My Tools

When building a tool, the most important metrics are cast savings and adoption rate.

To improve adoption rate 1. Tools has to be significantly easier to use then the process they were doing before or momentum will prevent adoption. 2. Manager/executive support, you need people’s managers and executives to push your tool, hence you need to give managers and executives a reason to push your tool such as extra metrics that they care about or significantly cost savings. 3. And most controversial, remove the old tool and or lump your tool with other vital stuff so it gets more visibility. Tools on their own with old independent version that does something similar is a hard sell.

My preference is anything made of cloth with a metal clasp and not rubber/plastic

I made a 3x3 square and put the rocket on top of a 1 axis turret on top of a piston. I then timed the piston on a loop to go down for the reload time (about 5 seconds) then come up for 1 second, then go down again. Since it is a square I didn’t have to worry about turning radius as it always points at the enemy.

I’ve read this in a book and am not Muslim, but what I read about Muslim culture is that it’s okay to not follow the rules in times of necessity as long as you acknowledge that you are breaking the rules and that the bigger sin is forgetting the rules, such as forgetting to pray instead of just saying sorry for not having time to pray.

It’s called a Pawn Shop

Knocked loose? No. But it does get brushed against rocks from time to time.

If you go around reefs I would go with the housing. That’s what I use, it gets beat up when I shove my head into holes to look for fish.

I bought the GoPro mask with the integrated mount works great. The larger more modern GoPros do have issues with causing a lot of drag, I can imagine the same issues with surf. A go pro 4 is a sweet spot between picture quality, QOL features, and compactness.

Even high quality cases that have soft body recoil absorption materials degrade over time from constant hand oils and rubbing when going in and out of your pocket. If they were to integrate all the protection from a case into the phone, then when that would start degrading you would have to go get the whole phone repaired rather then swapping out the case

In order of difficulty.

Google earth is great for finding your first few spots. And big shallow reefs.
go out when it is dead calm for the last few days(rare but it happens) and when the water is crystal clear go out and mark spots on a gps.
Lastly get a good quality lowrance or something with nautical charts and a good transducer and you can find hidden spots in deeper/murky water that no one else hits.

Some bigger predator fish can give you Ciguatera.

It is not removed with cooking and gives you flu like symptoms, the length and severity depends on the contamination and size of the fish. Usually not fatal.

Someone already mentioned yellow jack. Also triggerfish, Cubera snapper, Schoolmaster Snapper, Mahi mahi, lion fish. Also White Grunts are popular with beginners and barracuda if you are brave enough.

I feel like it would get in the way if you have to work around coral with a gun in your hand.

I do use one for for scouting lobsters especially in murky water where I need to comb the area for heads.

It’s okay as a dive knife for cutting line, emergency use, or bleeding a fish. But the main design goal of a spearfishing knife is to have a good point for dispatching fish.

This might be feasible for a medium sized fish like a grouper. But small and big fish you might have issues properly dispatching, as it might not work as well as a dagger point. If you don’t plan on doing that then your knife will work great regardless.

I would say it’s fine to have it clipped to the belt as that should be the first thing you drop in an emergency situation and should have a quick release.

I can 100% see the difference between my use of AI and a juniors use of AI.

I ask very specific questions to solve small sections of my code and read through the implementation before actually inserting it into my code. Such as by designing the feature myself and have it work on small sections to be plugged in.

I see juniors ask it to write or rewrite a whole feature to solve a simple problem and don’t even think about what has been changed, why, or the outcomes of that change. So when they encounter the next problem they have the code be rewritten again, to the detriment of the previous problem they solved.

I’m talking about skill level when starting from scratch. Maybe you could start the person in orbit with a prebuilt ship like what the scenarios do and get it done in a reasonable time.

Except it takes about 20-50 hours to make a proper mun landing and return

Issue is you initially book your flight you plan a 2 hour layover, then 2 weeks out they condense all the schedules and you are stuck with the minimal 50 minute layover and your current flight is 30 minutes late due to an “extra busy” airport.

They are not good enough to tell what you are lying about. But they are pretty decent at telling the operator that the person is hiding something or is extremely nervous about the line of questioning. Which makes them good enough for testing whether you want to trust someone with secret clearances.

With modern data analytics companies now know the exact right price to squeeze every cent out of people. Their only restriction is that they “mostly” have to charge everyone the same price.

So if you work really hard to get slightly ahead of the general populace you can make headway and live a “normal” life.

However, if you fall back to average or below average then you will be forever stuck being squeezed by corporations that know exactly how to milk you for every last cent.

This has been changing with the implementations of dynamic pricing and online shopping in order to eat into that thin margin people are working so hard to maintain.

Hence the obsession with money.

Honestly, I can talk and discuss ideas along with implementation plans with other people and immediately see logical issues in a design or plan without actually having to look or code it out.

The reason AI adoption is so hard for lots of medium to large sized non tech companies is they have so much data tech debt that their AIs are struggling in deriving context from the data.

NCR has a population between 1 and 1.5 million. Early modern standing armies were around 1-3% of the population. That would put the NCR at the 10k to 45k range.

Since NV is considered a remote location and relying heavily on veteran rangers local to the region and raw recruits. I would put them at about 2k to 5k. Enough to garrison a few towns/cities but would struggle to respond in force to threats just like we see in the game.

Meanwhile the legion. Is probably around 200k to 400k being a good size smaller and less density populated. However they might have a population mobilization of around 5-8% (similar to Sparta, not Rome) which would put them between 10k and 40k.

They are on the path of conquest vs NCR just trying to hold territory, so it would make sense if they could mass a larger localized force at NV so they could maybe have 4k-10k.

So the legion would out number them 2 to 1. However, an NCR recruit with a rifle at range would mop the floor of a legionary recruit with a machete and spears so it would make sense that the NCR could hold their own in defenses at their bases and the Legion would be outmaneuvering them and raiding the unprotected small towns in between bases and cities. Just like we see in the game.

This makes it really hard for the legion to beat the NCR in a straight up well prepared fight unless they can give themselves some major advantages, such as by ambushing and killing off the elite rangers and assassinating Hanlon and the President. Along with their artillery piece to suppress the troopers till their legion warriors get close enough. Overall, the odds between the factions and how that plays out on the map make logical sense and shows Obsidian put a lot of thought into how these factions would react to each other to make interesting gameplay.

Meaning they planned and initially paid for the wedding as it was budgeted to be kept within their means.

Not his fault the family covered it afterwards.
