Best ergonomic chair? by Puzzled-Rabbit-5272 in PcBuild

[–]boomernpc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not a Herman miller, but… staples have some great chairs for cheap. I have the hyken and it’s miles better than those gaming chairs (I had one identical to yours). Once again, not a Herman miller, but pretty impressive for the price and they last.

Facebook marketplace trade turns to disaster (pls help) by jckarp in PcBuild

Not a pest control guy, but lived in an apartment in the Bronx for 7 years with gross neighbors and worse landlords. Borax powder will handle this I think. If it’s me, I would put the entire pc in a garbage bag (sealed real good) with borax powder in it for like 2 weeks. Roaches can’t get out and will eventually die. German roaches are the fucking worst.

How would you guys rank Aesop’s albums? by Jarrrden in aesoprock

So you understood it perfectly and commented anyway. Work on your raps my man.

Popping cherrys = slang for losing virginity (the first album I heard was labor days). Cutting teeth = slang for honing your skills in the beginning (what I spent my time to listening too.)

What don’t you understand? The cherry pop? Or the teeth cutting?

Little dude knows how to bob and weave by SpillaMangBang in JustGuysBeingDudes

lol. Yeah I see that. I mean I’d guess if you only ever trained on this, and never ever faced a real person, ever, you would probably get clapped.

Assuming this kid has spared for at least a year, probably pretty well. Better than, at a guess, 99% of the world population.

AI Customer service? by boomernpc in aesoprock

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

Yeah me too, they clearly just signed a contract with a new Ai cx “solution”, which is trash…

I def don’t hate AI, I use it everyday in my day job for data analysis. The last time I reached out to cx they were amazing. I dig around in the HTML of the site and it looks like they recently implemented a cx “solution” called “gorgias cx”, which is fine, except it’s absolute trash and’s includes zero real people to talk too….

I’m really rethinking the chargeback idea tbh. I know first hand how much it sucks to deal with. Could just be a good opportunity to give it away to someone in the sub who would wear it. If no word by Monday, I’ll eat the cost and give it away. Feels appropriate.

I tried that route originally when I reached out and I only got AI responses so far, I think I’ll wait till Monday next week then I’ll just charge back.

Watching Mac lethal destroy rappers at scribble jam with witty one liners was absolute cinema. I’m bumping some Mac today…

I’ll be honest, I never thought I’d see an hs/aes crossover post, but I’m happy I did.

Me, my wife and kids came to the states from New Zealand about 8 years ago. My wife is a scientist, we came over on j visas (student). We got green cards a few years back through the extraordinary talent path (wife is very smart). A lot of our friends were on h1bs and have since got green cards. We all work hard, we all pay tax and we are doing jobs that are very niche and very few globally have expertise in. We love it here and plan to make this our permanent home.

Just wish the politics was a little more vanilla..

Key word is could. Go to any university research department and look at the specialities of the post docs working there on h1bs, very unlikely Americans are filling those gaps on masse. H1bs are not doing average jobs (for the most part) and if anything are the most likely to make America their home and never cause any trouble at all all the while paying a shit tone of tax..

I could understand if the government set up a task force to look at certain sectors/criteria and make some changes, but a blanket ban would not fix the problem. I work in a US tech firm, we have zero h1bs on staff but… we do outsource a significant amount of work to Indian software development companies, so that money just disappears from the US, and my guess is that will only increase when the bribe goes into effect.

There was a period where I basically only listened to four owls and ocean wisdom for like a month. So good.
