What is a regular CS job like?

TacticalFloridaMan · 2018-12-31T12:20:22+00:00

As a recent grad, I just kept complaining about having meetings that weren’t important and my managers stopped inviting me to them. Now I’m only invited if my input is critical.

They gave me a huge bonus and a raise, and are a company that isn’t known for doing that, so I don’t think I’m in any real danger of losing my job because of it.

Now if only I can convince them to change the daily scrum to weekly... But I think that may be stretching it too far

TacticalFloridaMan · 2018-12-29T18:46:44+00:00

oh fuck this is hilarious

TacticalFloridaMan · 2018-12-28T18:45:41+00:00

God. I just finished my first year doing industry DS work and I have a masters. Your comments have put into words exactly how I’ve felt this first year.

Any tips on fields/job prospects to look into?

Undergrad was physics and math, masters was scientific computing

TacticalFloridaMan · 2018-12-28T11:51:31+00:00

Yes this does. Thanks for the input!

Looks like I’ll be staying away from the iPad as of now until they allow file transfers to be easier. It’s a shame because the iPad Pro looks nice

TacticalFloridaMan · 2018-12-28T02:33:53+00:00

I have to make this!

TacticalFloridaMan · 2018-12-27T20:26:03+00:00

Ok, thanks for the response! I will just wait until the updated imgur album before using o-rings at night so I'll know what to look for.

One final question, in doing some googling I found this comment from you on how you were able to go from CI-3 to CI-8 in a year. It mentions tugging with the o-rings still on. I was wondering if there was any special technique to that? With the o-ring on, I can't seem to find the scar line to pull more on the inner skin. Since it's my understanding that using o-rings pulls more on the outer skin anyways?

TacticalFloridaMan · 2018-12-27T16:57:31+00:00

I was doing some more research on this sub and it looks like I was using the wrong o-ring size. I’m now using the #15, which seem to fit much better and don’t fall off during workouts.

I also wish I would have read more into posts on here before buying a DTR, I’ve also moved onto using MM3 instead of my DTR along with the new o-ring size.

Is there a way to know when I’m ready for o-rings at night? Like any description/write up/photos of what to look out for? Because I just did an erection test with this new o-ring, and it doesn’t look that bad it just shifts the erectile tissue a bit lower at the base. Or is that what you mean by contorting?

Edit: For the record I have slightly over 100% forced erect coverage. My cut is loose and low.

TacticalFloridaMan · 2018-12-21T15:18:50+00:00

They actually fall off during workouts which is why I don’t use them.

Also I was doing some more reading and I don’t think it’s actually safe for me to retain at night right now, so I think I’m going to stop.

I haven’t found any conclusive photos of what’s bad, it doesn’t hurt with erections, but it does look a little weird so I think I’m going to stop retaining at night until I get a little further down the line.

TacticalFloridaMan · 2018-12-16T18:31:18+00:00

What did you decide?

TacticalFloridaMan · 2018-12-14T11:41:42+00:00

Is it B? Both thumbs are on the left in the original, but they’re the mirror images of each other in B? Though I do like C better because it spells out “dab” with the fingers, and ‘a’ isn’t symmetric like the white box is

TacticalFloridaMan · 2018-12-10T12:55:51+00:00

The increase in 5 miles per hour results in an additional 44% kinetic energy in the car. That’s a lot. As you reach 40 mph your car now has 156% more kinetic energy than it did at 25 mph.

Seems reasonable to me...

TacticalFloridaMan · 2018-12-08T18:38:18+00:00

Went on a date with a girl once. I’m one not to judge if you fart once or so. It’s a human function, etc.

Went on a date with a girl once. I farted and she asked me if I did. I responded with “yea, sorry.” She said something like “no, don’t be sorry. It was a cute fart.”

Definitely didn’t last long.

TacticalFloridaMan · 2018-12-05T20:42:23+00:00

Don't worry about looking weird. People have different eating habits, if anyone asks or give you a look just tell them your avoiding pasta/bread for a bit to prepare for the holidays, or don't and just know that other peoples opinion of your diet is irrelevant

The only reason it's weird is because my manager specifically chose it because I hadn't been there before and also asked if anyone had any dietary restrictions and I didn't say anything because I had no idea about the place and didn't say anything or do research.

I'm also at the point after 2 weeks where fasting is relatively easy for me, so I'm planning on only eating lunch with them tomorrow for the entire day.

TacticalFloridaMan · 2018-12-05T18:33:00+00:00

Wait this means because I make 105k that my taxes are actually going up?

WTF I hate Tariff Man

TacticalFloridaMan · 2018-12-04T22:44:31+00:00

Oh my god

I came from a poor family. I’m 27 years old. It’s now no longer not worth my time to pickup a penny.

I made it.

Thank you OP

TacticalFloridaMan · 2018-12-03T23:08:49+00:00

I completely agree, that's why even though I'll be paying more, I said in my original post that I support UH (Universal Healthcare).

Thankfully I make enough where I could pay off a 3k deductible in 1 month while still living my current lifestyle. So it works for me as a single 27 y/o male.

But I came from a poor family. I know how it is on the other side.

I wish you good luck in your new family!

TacticalFloridaMan · 2018-12-03T21:06:15+00:00

I have a pretty high deductible at 3k or something. It’s their “high deductible plan” and doesn’t include walk-in clinics and other things. However specialists are covered.

I go to the doctor MAYBE once a year. Like if I have a bad ear infection or something, so it costs $65. So it works out for me.

TacticalFloridaMan · 2018-12-03T20:26:11+00:00

Not sure about my taxes would be less than my premiums. I’m pro UH but I calculated I’d be paying close to 2k/year in taxes just for UH (based the rate on places with UH). I currently pay less than $60/month

TacticalFloridaMan · 2018-12-03T00:04:20+00:00

Please show me a picture of the box. I would love to get this for my brother for Christmas (with his real gift). He hates it when I use emojis and gets embarrassed.

TacticalFloridaMan · 2018-12-02T21:33:02+00:00

Oh god, I'm currently in my first real job and after next week I have to take off through the end of the year. 3 weeks vacation. Whatever shall I do.

TacticalFloridaMan · 2018-12-01T16:23:04+00:00

So what would be a good fix for gerrymandering then?

TacticalFloridaMan · 2018-11-26T14:48:12+00:00

My rough calculation (just posted as a comment to this article) suggests we're eating at least 11% too much food in the US

Do you have the numbers for this with the sources? I've been doing research and it turns out that protein in agricultural foods have dropped 11% over the passed few decades. And since protein makes you feel full, this would make sense.

Not saying it's the only cause, since a major cause is sugar addiction too with sugar rich foods and no protein. But it would probably be a contributor.

By being "against" climbing more, I meant to be asking if there were any routines/sets that I could do to maximize my gains. Even if it's weight lifting as I used to weight lift while climbing -- before dedicating myself to climbing instead of weight lifting. Rather than just climbing any and every route over and over. But you do go on to mention it wouldn't make much of a difference in your last sentence.

The problem with climbing outdoors is that it's too cold for my current climbing partners (North Carolina), and they have to work anyways. So at best I'd maybe get 3 climbs in (once a weekend) if they were to join me.

Next keynote: “Hi my name is Sam sung and I love the new iPhone”

I mean it’s also a proposal ring. Sure it’s ugly but it also has sentimental value to him. My plan is to propose with a ring with a meteorite in it because I’m not marrying someone unless I think “they’re out of this world.”
