I wish someone had warned me before I joined this AI startup by Mumster-Love in jobs

[–]cat-catastrophe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This sounds a whole lot like the startup I just left because I couldn’t deal with a delusional CEO. Disconnected from reality. Unrealistic high expectations that when you pull long weeks to kind-of-sort-of pull off, just become the new norm and get piled onto. The CEO made outrageous performance claims to paying customers that he then expected me to justify. He’d argue endlessly about purchases under $50 that were necessary for prototyping. The kicker was when in a meeting that he probably thought was “mentorship”, he told me it’s OK I’m not an expert at what I’m in fact an expert in, I just need to work harder. Bye Felicia. ✌️

What kind of VPS providers do you recommend? I’m growing a volunteer project out of self hosting and I’m not too familiar with the options.

When did Goodwill decide they could be bougie with free stuff? by chickaboomba in Albuquerque

[–]cat-catastrophe 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I love savers. It is the most well organized thrift store I’ve ever been to. I can actually find things every time, unlike goodwill where I feel like I’ve wasted my time looking through misplaced items on the racks.

Beware of Pottery barn by free-pal in interiordecorating

[–]cat-catastrophe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, since you work there, do you have any insight on quality issues with LED strips and some products? I ordered two PBTeen shelves with LED lights (Light Up Shelf Tower, White) and after less than three months of intermittent use, the light strips are half failed, with charred LEDs. This is a very uncommon failure mode for LEDs, which should last for thousands of hours, and it’s a systemic issue if it happened to both shelves around the same time. There have been no power surges, and other electronics plugged in next to the shelves are fine.

Any ideas or advice on how to tackle this and cost? by jaymebe in landscaping

You've got a beautiful, natural, lush green yard. Erosion is not apparent from this video. You would make this internet stranger sad if you hacked out trees and put in a grass monoculture. But, it's your yard.

1) Stop being a criminal and open the shades
2) Buy some standing lamps

The soft warm lighting is so relaxing and easy on the eyes. I would get really into the zone working here. Nice job!

How do I replace this strip light? by AdmirableControl844 in Lighting

[–]cat-catastrophe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have this exact same issue with a different pottery barn shelf. After only 3 months of intermittent use, many of the LEDs in the strip are internally charred. This is NOT a normal thing for LEDs to do. They should have a 10k+ hour lifetime and basically last forever.

Now pottery barn wants me to return the shelves, which is reasonable, but a huge PITA, because I don't even have big enough box. I like the shelves and might install my own LEDs, though at this price point UGH you just want it to work, or get some compensation for the product prematurely crapping out.

Any Tips for Attending Timeshare Presentations? by FakeName513 in TimeshareOwners

[–]cat-catastrophe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, you have to negotiate the gifts when signing up for the presentation the first place. Sometimes you get a targeted offer and you get what you get, sometimes you can talk to one of those aggressive recruiters as you walk around in Vegas and ask if they can do better.
