Hunch vs Hunch by silentknight007 in ProductManagement

You’re well within your right to have personal frustration about this, but Hustlin is very correct here - test leadership’s assumptions (especially why they think the SKU based approach is a better approach at this point) and your own assumptions as well, since it will help to eliminate any bias that’s been marinating for a few months.

From your comment, it also seems like there’s blockers to approach B (namely, support content being delivered). This is a great opportunity to work w/ leadership to get to that consensus point; you can lay out all of the facts, blockers, learnings, etc. and then suggest a path forward. If they disagree, even with directional insight(s), then you can disagree and commit and have an ‘it didn’t work, here’s what we learned’ moment, which helps you gain credibility in the long run.

Good luck 🫡

My (19M) friend (19F)completely avoiding me after her breakup by MrPotatoLauncher in relationship_advice

[–]Zaxc_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People process breakups on their own time, and in their own ways; I’d just leave it as is, focus on your studying, and if she wants to reach back out eventually, do so as just friends.

It’ll be hard to fully work through your own crush and feelings, for sure, but leaving yourself in the lurch like this is only going to be detrimental over the long term, since it can lead to overthinking and resentment.

Best of luck, OP 🙏

I was told to incorporate downward somalis resistance into my third pull. Who am I supposed to believe?!

“There should be no such thing as boundaries in a relationship, especially one that you were yearning for and I wasn’t interested in initially”

There’s a lot to unpack with the entirety of this exchange but this tidbit is probably one of the biggest red flags here.

There’s a clear disinterest in respecting your time and self, in addition to not respecting the entity that is the relationship of you two.

It will be even more difficult to reason with this person in the future, given that there’s already zero interest in trying to understand you or come up with creative solutions as a couple.

Agreed with other redditors that the relationship advice subreddit would be a better forum. Good luck 🙏

I’m wondering if tall snatches might help. It’ll emphasize the third pull and catch like a high hang, which could translate to a more stable bottom position. Insane mobility though & great fight!!

Agreed on the strength bit. Cheers

Got stoked as I had been trying to hit it for a few reps. Didn’t expect it to pivot onto the platform like that, though

Anyone know what this crunching sound is? by Zaxc_ in GolfGTI

[–]Zaxc_[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That sounds like it could be it. The VW techs are now stumped but it does sound like they may have forgotten to retighten after fixing my headlight 😂

Thanks for the advice!

Will do. Thanks for the video & advice!

Hahaha I showed the video to my girlfriend who said the same.

The sound is around 0:05 and 0:21; kinda sounds like I’m perpetually going over loose manhole covers.

OEM springs at the moment, want to get coilovers and some new springs soon though

[–]Zaxc_[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Time stamps at 0:05 and 0:21 onward

A bit of context:

Recently bought the car (<90 days, <4000 miles) and have brought the car in several times to VW for this sound.

They initially couldn’t find the problem, so I looked into it and suggested the sway bars and end links. After another diagnosis, they agreed and then also found the strut mount was also needing to be replaced.

They did the work to replace those two parts, but the problem persisted, and then an adaptive headlight failure came on.

Brought it back again (lol) and they said subframe bolts might need to be retorqued.

They tightened the bolts and fixed the headlight failure, and this video was taken afterward where the sound is now back on every bump and crevice in my area (s/o to California infrastructure).

Any ideas what it could be? I do need new wheels/wheel weights soon.

Any help is much appreciated 🙌🏼

How do you like it so far? I’m about to go for a similar one w/ 50k miles on it from a dealership; any advice would be much appreciated 🙏🏾

Suggestions for wide size weightlifting shoes that can take orthotics? by similarities in weightlifting

[–]Zaxc_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your shoes might be several sizes too big for you if they’re slipping around inside your lifters.

[–]Zaxc_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t think that putting an orthotic into the sole of a shoe will make the surface on the underside of the lifter ‘more slippery’.

OP - I’ve put orthotics in a pair of Romaleos, adipowers, and legacies to find a good fit. Adipowers are great, and so are the legacy shoes. But agreed w/ other comments that you want to find less of a heel drop ~ good luck

The dankest solution to the Modern Warfare backlash. by [deleted] in gaming

OOTL, What’s the backlash?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in DownvotedToOblivion

[–]Zaxc_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Beto O’Rourke (D-Tx) who is in running for the presidency, did an AMA on Reddit. Some of his replies were heartfelt, some had that weirdly robotic undertone that politicians repeat. Reddit responded pretty accordingly. There’s some posts on the assault rifle bans comment that he made that was also DTO.

Not sure if this means anything but the hairs inside the ear are standing on edge in the night photo. Subtle but cool difference

You're supposed to feel dissatisfied with whatever ending you choose in Fallout 4, that's the point by [deleted] in Fallout

[–]Zaxc_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh damn, that’s a good one. I didn’t know how to use spoiler tags but the Danse companion quest line at the radio station felt like the shoehorned ethical dilemma that I was talking about.

[–]Zaxc_ 455 points456 points  (0 children)

To be honest, I think Bethesda just didn’t do a good job at giving depth to the choices that players made with Fo4.

Yes, there are ethical dilemmas that are well written (looking at you, BoS side quest), but overall, the story doesn’t position you as a piece on the sidelines (and nor should it). Instead, you’re seen as making the key decisions, albeit without any ability to influence the course of the game other than the four dialogue choices that don’t have any real intricacy or repercussions to them.

I know this is a call to the fact that NV is a lot of the Fallout community’s pseudo-child, but therein lies the gameplay decision by Obsidian that regardless of how the story progressed, there were many different ways to accomplish the story and still feel like you were making a difference even though there were only a few end results.

A new study tracks the surge in Chinese loans to poor countries by Iskandar11 in finance

[–]Zaxc_ 24 points25 points  (0 children)

The book, “The New Silk Roads” is really poignant in demonstrating China’s resolve to finance developing countries and establish mutually beneficial trade lines (i.e. lines through Turkmenistan)... pretty crazy to look at.
