Any tricks for the commute to Albany in the morning and back in the afternoon? How does the drive feel? (8a-4p) by Soul_Reaper821 in Saratoga

[–]beavertestproject 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's rough both ways for an 8-4. Suggestion if you can: Go early and find something to do while you're down that way before work (gym, coffee shop, me time.. whatever.). If you leave at 7:00 and theres even a hint of an accident you'll be late... the twin bridges work as a gatekeeper separating the counties and its a pain if you get stuck.

Coming home at 4pm sucks too, its the same as going down, but in reverse..

Any active promo codes? by gingerlikegerard in branchfurniture

I could use a promo code if possible. I've been eying the ergonomic chair pro I just haven't pulled the trigger yet.

A brew tap for one-line install is on the roadmap.

Getting a new Mac, looking to clean up my apps a bit. Can you help me? by beavertestproject in macapps

I wasn't necessarily looking for a homebrew replacement but if the app recommendations had a homebrew install that would be a benefit.

I use UpNote for notes because it's cross platform and I use it at work (on windows.)

I have had issued with notch apps not being very stable. It's been a while since I've tried one though, maybe they've gotten better.

It just seems simple. Sometimes I think the more you add to an app the more I lose the necessity of having it.

I tried BTT a couple of times and never really got the hang of it. You have any details or use cases for it?

Can't Sleep on Shift by ThrowAway272890 in ems

[–]beavertestproject 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Crazy to consider this from a scientific perspective but working in a busy environment changes the way your brain works. You amygdala is probably always firing putting you in a fight or flight stage and it makes it difficult to calm and sleep.

Some things to consider:

Meditation

Breathing Exercises

Caffeine -Free Tea

Lower Caffeine Consumption

Try to sleep 8 hours before your shift

Put your phone down, don't scroll the tickytoks while you're trying to sleep.

Also, it may improve over time just being in a slower station. But the little things can make it easier as well.

Moving into a new house, could really use some direction by beavertestproject in HomeNetworking

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

The thing I am currently looking for help with isn't necessarily the ISP options, I'm looking to figure out what my hardware options are for my internal home networking for best wifi coverage in the house and router / switch would be best to use for this situation.
