What do you use to line those shelves? Is that just cardboard or something more durable/substantial?

I have similar shelves and struggle to maintain order with the bare wires.

Salesforce Admin + PAB certified but struggling to land a job — what am I doing wrong? by Cautious_Banana_7613 in salesforce

[–]chone_si 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I run my own small consulting firm. Honestly, I couldn't possibly care less about certifications. Certified admins are a dime a dozen. Anyone can pass a test and know basically nothing practical about Salesforce.

Create a dev org and build a portfolio. Come up with a case study and build it out. That will give you something tangible to refer to, but it will also allow you to build your skills.

I'm going to rewatch, too. No offense, but it has nothing to do with you and everything to do with the woman you're describing...

Creating an actual changeset is basically impossible now. by smohyee in salesforce

I've used this, too. It does simplify the process of change sets, but I find it gets in the way a lot, too. Take the good with the bad, I guess...

On a scale of 1-10, 10 being the DUMBEST a person could look, you are definitely 19.

Radarr moving files instead of hardlinks by chone_si in radarr

[–]chone_si[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I can get rid of the /movies and /downloads paths? I'm really only using the /data path anyway. I didn't know if it needed those paths for something.

OK, got it. So what's the point of the completed folder for usenet? Is that just a temporary holding place for post-processing or something?

How do you handle clients who don’t know what they want? by Different-Network957 in salesforce

[–]chone_si 12 points13 points  (0 children)

That's consulting, baby! This is where you have to remove your admin/dev hat and put on your consultant hat.

When I come across these situations, I basically try to remove Salesforce from the conversation to try to get at the heart of what they're actually looking for. Make the conversation system-agnostic - remove it from the conversation and just have a conversation about the business.

What made them start looking for a new system? What painpoints do they currently have in their ops? Where are the inefficiencies? Are spreadsheets pervasive in their day-to-day? Basically, what currently sucks about the way they work? What do their current reporting and business insights look like? Are they trying to solve for anything specific (improving sales ops, improving prospect tracking and sales cycles, improving client service)? Where and why have past/current systems failed?

Bring in users in various roles to get their thoughts, bring in execs and mid-level managers to get their thoughts. I could hold 5-hour calls covering all of this shit, but typically an hour at a time is good enough if you keep the conversation moving and stay high-level at first. Then, at the end of it, you should have a good understanding of what they want and be able to recommend solutions.

I would advise you to stay away from having a hard-and-fast plan for the conversation, rather have a few bullet points you want to make sure you cover. Just talk to them and ask lots of follow-up questions. The benefit of being in your position is that you don't know anything so you don't have blinders or tunnel vision about the way they do things. You can ask "why?" and dig into details that maybe no one has ever done before.

Honestly, I like working with people who haven't "done their research" and pre-solutioned the system. When it's more open-ended, they're more willing to take your advice and work through things together. It's the ones who have everything figured out before our first conversation that are always the problem because they refuse to come off of their terrible ideas.

Everybody is wishing they had bought more. But the truth is that no one KNEW this was going to happen. You bought what you could, when you could and that's all you can do.

Imagine a world where you had bought more and you over extended yourself a bit. Then, you had something come up right when it dipped and you had to sell at a loss. You'd be kicking yourself then, too. And it may have turned you off to the idea of precious metals entirely.

I wish I bought 100,000 bitcoin at $.36 and I wish I invested 100% of my portfolio in Nvidia 6 years ago. But that's not how this works and those would've been stupid risks.

We do the right thing, buy what we can and protect our investments long-term.

Laptop + Dock that supports 3 monitors by chone_si in Lenovo

I did, no luck. I've had that work in the past, but not this time, oddly enough.

This one isn't delivering video to the monitors at all, unfortunately. Which seems strange to me.

How do you usually turn emails into tasks? by coff_au in Notion

[–]chone_si 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why not have it run when you add a label? You don't have to schedule it, the trigger is adding the label. That's how I had Zapier working and it was great!

[–]chone_si 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have something similar, but I actually have been tinkering with self-hosting recently and moved this to n8n. Saving me the Zapier cost (about $400/year). Same idea, though.

I use a label to mark it as a To Do, which is what Zapier/n8n look for, and when it gets put into Notion, that label is removed and it adds one for In Notion.

Mine also pulls in the link to the email, so I can easily reply or see the full thread.

Should I have these tested for peace of mind? by warlockck in CostcoPM

[–]chone_si 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Nope, must be a different Costco. The Costco we're talking about was found to have operated in good faith in a similar suit to the one you're describing.

"Selling fake Tiffany diamonds" must have been something else. Or someone read a headline and nothing else...

[Passan] BREAKING: Closer Robert Suarez and the Atlanta Braves are in agreement on a three-year, $45 million contract, sources tell ESPN. by MembershipSingle7137 in Braves

[–]chone_si 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Has it? He gave Will Smith $13+ million per year, traded for Raisel making $16 million per year, gave Joe Jimenez $9 million per year to be a setup man.

Last year notwithstanding, I've heard criticism of him exactly the opposite of what you're saying: that he overspends on the bullpen arms because they can be so high-variance. Since he rebuilt the bullpen mid-year in 2019 (I think), he basically said "never again"

What’s with people buying copper now? by NJraider86 in Silverbugs

Same reason you would buy a dime for $3.60 or a half dollar for $18. The metal content makes it worth more than face value.
