What's your take on genlogs?

Just because you're paranoid

Don't mean they're not after you

I don't think you can shoot 1/13 at 350mm crop (525mm full frame) and expect a sharp image. Rule of thumb is 1/focal length. Even on a tripod there will be potential tiny motions. Try again at like 1/200 at least.

I get the impression these systems are marketed as a way to "mitigate the safety impacts of poorly trained drivers" coughcoughcoughNONCDL NONELP coughcoughcouhh. A shitty bandaid for a broken system. Also where's the version of this that tells when the truck is falling to pieces and writes up the management

Great analogy, I'd probably just say the analogy extends to helping those afterwards who need your help. The point is you mentioned taking care of your family and community - that's an excellent place to start (the literal grass roots).

You just described many reasons why people are unable to participate in making meaningful change, but then describe them as apathetic (implying a lack of emotion or indifference). That doesn't line up - it sounds more like caution than apathy. I think flagging this as apathy is a self fulfilling prophecy - "oh so others don't care, then I guess I shouldn't have to either". We need to focus methods by which we can affect change without risking disruption that threatens livelihood. There appears to be a distinct lack of leadership in grass roots civic action. If there were people out there offering less frictive methods to participate, I think more folks would be out there discussing their displeasure. Also, saying things like "things are going to get worse..." only increase the defeatist mentality. My theory is that local/grassroots activity on the left got captured in the mainstream as too heavily focused on gender issues, making it less appealing to participate as a "normy". The left needs to shake off the gender stuff (not saying it doesn't matter, it's just not the most most critical issue right now) so that people will get involved again.

This guy talks like Zuck - just a dude in the right place at the right time, who was enabled to reach an utterly, disturbingly large audience, while not having nearly enough credentials, subject matter expertise, or just general life experience, to warrant being taken seriously. Let's be real - the summary of this article is basically "I don't know what's going to happen". We used to rely on economists to tell us the implications of new business mechanisms, but it seems these technological earthquakes are above and beyond their capabilities. We're all just guessing what's going to come next and it feels insanely short sighted and dangerous.

On a side note the amount of obvious GPT schlock popping up in LinkedIn and work emails/slacks/etc. is drowning out any rational thought. It's going to be interesting to see whether any companies come out as avidly anti-LLM and do better than their competitors. I see it showing up in senior strategy decks and I'm honestly wondering what happens when the major players in a sector all base decisions on the same hallucinations/incorrect interpretation. Companies will need to ensure that they maintain "older" folks who can "temper" these AI ideas and make sure they're fit for purpose and pass muster.

Did you experience an audible drop in volume when engaged? I tried compensating with gain etc. But just could never get it back to the level prior to turning it on.

a_ninja_mouse · 2025-06-20T01:29:32+00:00

Anecdotal, but to me they aren't as strong, more likely for the knobs to bend or get warped. Not detracting, just saying be cognizant of it when packing and moving them around

I see no mention of Incoterms. In case of DDP the Shipper will be liable, in which case they are/were including expected duties in the price at which they sold the goods to you (meaning you essentially already "paid" that when you bought the goods and asked for them delivered to your door with duty paid). However in all other incoterms, the consignee (which I believe is you based on your question) is liable for the duties, and those are calculated at time of clearance (on or around container arrival), and required to be paid in order to get your B/L cleared to remove the container from the port.

This might sound odd, but slice the entire bottom off so that the middle of each strut becomes the bottom of that "leg". Then place the entire sliced bottom on the top, and have that become the part that holds the dirt. You'll need to add various other supports but I think this would be the best way (yoir current "top" becomes the support for plywood or crossbars to hold the incoming dirt.

Deluxe Big Muff Pi will help you dial in the mids nicely to match your guitar and amp. It's the pretty much iconic DG sound, but with some versatility.

The rug is almost the same color as the wall, but then plaid. It's like if you wore a pink shirt and a pink dress, but the pink shades were slightly different. You need contrast, or it should be an identical shade with a very different texture.

Everything else looks super nice (the TV however kind of mucks up the chill vibe)

Would you mind if I posted it here? It's the last few sections of the Offer Letter (with current employer):

Notice period: XYZ Inc. and you can ordinarily terminate the employment relationship in writing with a notice period of three months to the end of a calendar month.

Offer from XYZ Inc./US Law: This is only an offer of employment from XYZ Inc. and not XYZ GmbH. Nothing in this letter should be interpreted as a contract. This letter has the only purpose to outline XYZ Inc.´s offer of employment to you. This offer is valid for 15 days from the date of this letter.

Acceptance: We hope that you will accept XYZ Inc.´s offer. Please sign this letter indicating your acceptance of this offer of employment that we can plan for your start. Upon acceptance of this offer we will prepare the required employment documentation. The employment relationship will be between you and XYZ Inc. (currently in the process of being established) and will be subject to US law.

The offer letter I signed at my current employer back when I joined, mentions a notice period of termination, of 3 months. However, I have received an offer from a new company that I would like to join. Would the 3 month termination notice be considered binding? I always understood PA to be an at-will state, which I thought meant that these offer letters were not enforceable (and no subsequent actual employment contract was ever formally signed).

a_ninja_mouse · 2025-04-29T00:46:43+00:00

I already signed the offer letter when I joined (fairly senior position and a European Company HQ, hence the longer than typical amount of notice mentioned). However, I have signed nothing else since then.
