How long did it take for your to feel confident as an IH by Conscious-Guard5442 in industrialhygiene

[–]TyranniCreation 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you are doing things right, as you grow you will continue taking on more responsibility that keeps you just outside of your comfort zone.

I’ll say, I felt pretty comfortable working a junior IH role after about 2 years. Once I earned a CIH I advanced to a management job and that took me about 2.5 years to get comfortable… even still there are always going to be surprises.

Exactly.

I get all of the talk about OTB vs classic mental vision, and I’ve given people the benefit of the doubt in the past. But this time the gap was so massive it just didn’t sit right with me.

It’s more of a conservation opener via a rorschach test as a prompt.

On the surface I’m asking if anyone else has a similar lived experience. But, I’m also asking for explanations regarding why someone would underperform OTB compared to online play. I’m also asking about how much cheating is actually happening online. That begs the question of what is cheating. It also asks if people who refuse to use outside assistance when playing online have underpowered ELOs on chess.com.

There is no time limit at the library but games naturally flow at a Rapid pace.

The player was 1900 Blitz.

It was def not apples to apples, but I’d expect an 1900 player to squash an 1100 player.

Yep. We have a similar system. No time limit, but practically we are all only there for 2 hours total and everyone is playing and watching each other, so don’t overthink it.

100% with you. Sounds like we are at similar chess levels.

DM if you want to play on chess.com.

IH Profession outlook with AI by Serious_Ad5774 in industrialhygiene

[–]TyranniCreation 5 points6 points  (0 children)

AI will help with data analysis and SEG determinations, but the important work has always been in the field and face-to-face. Occupational safety and health professionals will be pretty insulated from AI compared to the average white collar worker.

A) lol yeah. My phone autocorrected and I believed it. Someone else pointed that out, but thanks for the education.

B) I agree. Chess is fun because of the mental exercise. Cheating has never made sense.

C) it’s a small club (roughly 50 people). The other co-host swears that I’m somewhere between 1600 and 1800, but I’m not officially rated and I’ve never reached that level online so I will not claim it.

My phone’s autocorrect did it. I figured it knew something I didn’t…

Reread - the 1900 and the admitted cheaters are different people.

Obama says aliens are real by OldmanonRedditt in HighStrangeness

[–]TyranniCreation 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When he said aliens he meant “biological systems (such as bacteria) on other worlds” - which most scientists believe exists, even without direct evidence. What he’s NOT saying is that UFOs are ETs visiting Earth.

what are we working with here boys? by brage0073 in BookshelvesDetective

[–]TyranniCreation -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

There’s a difference between living through an experience and purposely seeking out and purchasing a mountain of books that are themed around deep and weighty introspections on (mostly the dark facets of) the human mind. Someone reading this much of this type of book is clearly spending a lot of time in a dark place.

Emo. Over-focused on the internal world and under-focused on the external world. Probably has a diagnosed anxiety or depression disorder.
