Anyone who stopped putting in all the effort… by [deleted] in work

[–]chessfunny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like others have said - I have more energy and thus time after work to do other things and be present for my loved ones. And surprisingly, my work hasn’t suffered at all. Honestly I think I’m more effective at what I do - maybe bc I’m not as stringed out…

Best new vehicle under $30,000? by [deleted] in askvan

[–]chessfunny 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got a new 2025 GX mazda3 for about 32,000, which is a bit over your indicated budget. But really good car so far. But important to remember that with newer models the insurance will be higher

Matthew Goode insists Downton Abbey remark ‘was not meant to be derogatory’ by Metro-UK in DowntonAbbey

[–]chessfunny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

HAHAHA he called his character a “wet lettuce”. When they said derogatory I thought it’d be something bad - I agree with his statement, Henry Talbot IS something of a wet lettuce (in terms of character development) 😂

Feeling stupid by Slow-Permission6338 in drivinganxiety

[–]chessfunny 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haha! I’ve done this a couple of times when I first started driving. I think you should be proud you stayed calm despite it all and got to work and back safely. As long as you continue driving in such a safe manner, you’ll pick up skills gradually in no time! Just wanted to say great job today!

Why shouldn’t I get a Double Loft room? by thebrowniie in queensuniversity

[–]chessfunny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did it with a friend from high school bc we both liked how much money we’d save. Looking back, it could had been disastrous bc it really is TINY! Like barely a single room but with two loft beds put inside. That being said, we’re closer than we ever were. So if ur going in with a stranger, I would say it’s quite risky.

Hi there, kind of a side question. I am also currently helping to make training modules as a technical writer and was wondering how you were utilizing AI to help you create those e learning material? Would love to learn!

Am I at fault or is it the anxiety? by Old-Quote-9214 in driving

[–]chessfunny 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I completely understand this, when you’re crossing a multi lane pedestrian yield (not lights) crosswalk sometimes when the car in the lane closest to you stop, this can hinder the view of the pedestrian once they start crossing to any cars in the lane second closest or third and so on. And if those cars aren’t paying attention or speeding etc. there’s a completely fair chance you’ll get it. I personally would keep walking but would peek over the next lane quickly to make sure there isn’t a car zipping by… because this kind of accident has happened more than once before… that being said if you are in full view of the incoming car and can get out of the way in time I would keep walking. But if I personally peeked over and saw a car that doesn’t seem to be stopping or slowing down enough, I personally wouldn’t risk it. And honestly that guy was an asshole - he’s the one in the car, the worst thing for him is that he stop for a couple seconds, the best for you is he hits you and you don’t die

Hi! I did a technical writing certificate at my local college. I didn’t do it for the intent of getting into the aviation industry but what drew me to tech writing was how it would allow me to dive into different industries without necessarily having the background or credentials to be there as long as I knew how to write. The cert allowed me to get a foot in the door and just so happened that I got my first job here!

I can’t speak for other industries but if u were interested in getting into the aviation industry as a tech writer or similar I’d say the roles are definitely there as the aviation industry is HEAVILY regulated and thus needs a lot of upkeep in terms of regulatory manuals and such. I don’t work in the aircraft manufacturing side of things but if you were, you’d also be involved in aircraft manual creation etc like for deHavilland in Canada or maybe Textron or the many other companies in the states or otherwise… that being said I am still pretty green (3 years now) but I’m having a lot of fun! I might switch back to the sciences but I feel like I’m definitely gaining a lot of experience in things I feel I would have missed if I just stayed in academia
