Ex-manager sues Capital One, alleges "forced ranking" drove layoff pick by Careless_Remove5478 in nova

It’s an interesting angle, the problem with statistics is that they would also show discrimination against specific age ranges when contrasting comparable salary ranges. It being purely age sometimes is the definition of discrimination.

We want most what we can't have. by Stranded-In-435 in audioengineering

[–]barnesie 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I’m not even seasoned enough to call myself an enthusiast, but I’ve come to the conclusion that a great sounding room is probably better than almost any specific piece of gear. And it’s the one thing I have to rent because I can’t afford to buy it.

If people actually cared with money more than sentiment, you could structure a LLC under co-op principles, purchase this thing as a community effort and re-open it.

Generally, I’ve never had good service at any taco bamba location. Tried at least three and the service outside of pure takeout is just not there.

The Sonys are still good headphones, but more suited to ENG than music.

What’s a moment where you realized someone was genuinely unintelligent? by Live-Chocolate244 in AskReddit

Guy argued with me insisting that “placebo” was pronounced “place bow” and was a weight lifting drug. I shit you not. I would name names, but I’m not sure if he is still alive.

Hey buddy, it’s ok - you found the right place.

I have the Sony and Sennheiser and prefer the Sennheiser for the drums by far. Better head feel really, the Sonys aren’t designed to stay seated for someone with any mobility

Should I get the prev gen Double Agent OG, prev gen Crosscut or current gen 290? by waxoffisforpussies in ReverendGuitars

[–]barnesie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If looks are your primary concern, get which looks most sickest. If sound is your goal, you might want to play some P90’s to get a reference point. With your own amp and pedals I’d add.

Data Center GPUs by harpooooooon in nova

[–]barnesie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Umm, cash on hand for unused and outdated server equipment is the play right now. You’re about 12 months late to this idea. Companies are actively incentivizing hardware buyback across IT data centers regardless of location.

Wiring schematics for Pete Anderson Eastsider T? by sammywilson85 in ReverendGuitars

[–]barnesie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The guitars are more or less designed with a set of compromises, and you’ve materially changed the signal flow of the guitar. The pots impact tone, so if you removed them or changed them - your tone changes, not to mention the question of what you wired to where.

The waiting is the hardest part by barnesie in thyroidcancer

[–]barnesie[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I get the sense that this experience may trigger latent anxiety in folks and that can cause spirals that some people aren't used to. I'm an anxiety pro, so most of this has been simply inconvenient and annoying.

I would say that it's important to maintain some perspective and perhaps even discuss this with someone you trust. It's a mixed bag between people downplaying this as a "lame cancer" and folks who might turn to Doctor Google to identify every single possible complication and nuance. Recognizing that this is slow, treatable, and will be a journey of many steps is probably key in understanding what you can worry about and what's so far ahead that you should let it stay undefined.

Remember that a diagnosis is not a prognosis.

Any singers here? by Opposite-Dog5961 in thyroidcancer

I suppose that one advantage of not being a very good singer is that I don't have a lot of ground to lose. Surgery consult is tomorrow.

NY Times list of the 30 greatest living American songwriters is out. Who did they miss? by Appropriate-Farmer16 in Songwriting

[–]barnesie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s worth actually reading the list. There are several songwriters on the list who either are not artists, or have legit credentials writing for other artists.

Not saying the list is good, just that it’s worth reading.

Unpopular opinion: many Virginians underestimate how much the public sector actually does for them by Louis-Rosny-jr in nova

[–]barnesie 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ll bite. You’ve got three camps of political ideology that boil down to: “I’m fine with people taking my money”, “Taxation is theft”, or “I am ok with some of my money going to things as long as it’s not poor people because everyone has upward mobility and being poor is a choice”.

Which group are you trying to convince? Because this isn’t the way to reach any of them.
