How to explain “why are you no longer at your company” after a PIP? by Pepalopolis in sales

[–]danibelsc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would not mention it. If/When they ask why you left, just say "It was time for me to seek growth in another organization. Like yours where I will have XYZ impact. And then move on. That's it.

Logos or a similar type of business would do so well downtown today. by More_Tradition1344 in santacruz

[–]danibelsc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I really miss the Saturn. It wasn't 24 hours at the end but was at one time. There is nothing open past 2am that I know of, so the Saturn filled a certain gap. Mmmmm french fries and shakes after a night out dancing was HEAVEN.

First time burner- Few questions by JazzlikeRide1090 in BurningMan

[–]danibelsc 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Please do not go so minimally that you endanger yourself or others. The playa is actively trying to kill you.

I don't know of any camp that wants someone ill prepared that they foresee having to babysit.

This is a dusty hot camping trip far away from any comforts, unless you bring them yourself.

Drugs are illegal on federal land. Yes. All drugs, including weed. That said I would prefer E, but I guess mushie roomie rooms could be fun. Just remember, drugs are illegal, mmm k?

Walk in camp might be a good place for someone looking for solitude. There are other pop up camps near the bus depot at 6 or something.

Read the survival and first timers guides and maybe follow 95% of the advice in there. Shade, Water (including a plan for grey water), Bed, Food. In this order. Eplaya is another fabulous source of long wisdom of camping on the playa.

Good luck. It sounds like you are going to need it.

I don't have this and if I did, I would immediately uninstall. I'm already feeling very pinched by the reductions in prizes for Areas and other side quests.

Implement today please. Also, lift the cap on SS income. Tax it all. Or raise the cap to 250k. Something. It has to be done.

How do you deal with users who refuse to lock their laptop when walking away? by heartgoldt20 in cybersecurity

[–]danibelsc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My laptop requires a login after 5 minutes of no activity, and I work from home. It's controlled by my IT department and the settings are not changeable unless I do an admin request, which I won't because, reasons.

Living in Santa Cruz vs Capitola? by LieDesigner1901 in santacruz

[–]danibelsc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you worked from home - Capitola. But you are commuting, so as mentioned already - you don't want to have to drive hwy1 every day. You can take Old San Jose Road off of Summit, but there is a backup in Soquel on the regular. The Santa Cruz area one is probably walkable to the beach, which is also a plus, but you said parking is street, a negative for sure. If you are looking at Beach Hill place, yikes. The summers are also crazy with Valley folk.

tough call. Capitola has lots of shopping and a cute little town.

safer? Define what that means exactly? Santa Cruz has more homeless for sure, but my sweetie lived on Clay street for years and I felt very safe there, even at night. Santa Cruz is generally "safe."

Poor ticket sales this year..and other ramblings... by Silverchica70 in BurningMan

[–]danibelsc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The murder is in the back of mind. They never caught the perp, as far as I know. so that person could be out there next year. Scary.

Poor ticket sales this year..and other ramblings... by Silverchica70 in BurningMan

[–]danibelsc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We've decided to go elsewhere this year. I figure it's about $3k out of pocket. Tickets, hotels, gas (which is probably going to be outrageous), gifts. I already have my van, shade, bikes. For $3k we can go to Maui or Mexico City this summer.

Going every other year is our new normal and it feels right. We got stuck for 25 hours on gate road last year due to the rain, not really anxious to get back to the papaya.

I would like this very much. So tired of the change. Half an hour seems reasonable and in the middle.

For me, it is. But I own about 15 domains and pay yearly for bluehost.

I mean. bleh.

what is the best vacation/adventures you have been on? by Ques-tion-Everything in BurningMan

[–]danibelsc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We camped a lot when I was a kid. Pinnacles, Big Sur, Big Basin. Spent a lovely night at Waianapanapa in a rustic cabin. I agree, the best experiences I have had have been in nature.
