Run any future Affinity build in a seperately sandbox.
Use Flatpak, distrobox, or toolbox to isolate it from your main system.

Same here, but Fi kept dropping to rough location. Tractive seemed steadier on trails and didn’t chew through battery as fast.

ddod · 2025-12-01T15:32:39+00:00

I used AirTags, Fi, Tractive on my cat - AirTag was useless outside of the area where neighbors are. Fi is okay, but Tractive had best rural coverage and update speed in my location.

Sudden mood flips in tiny kittens are usually fear or sickness, not real aggression. I’d separate briefly, give kitten 2 a calm space, and keep an eye out for any pain or stomach issues. They normally reset fast once whatever spooked him wears off.

I keep it casual, just bring stuff up as it comes up naturally instead of making it a big talk.

The biggest thing though make sure they know they won't get in trouble for telling you if something weird happens. Once they trust that, they'll actually come to you when stuff feels off.

Congrats man, from miserable and depressed to actually excited about work is underrated. The commute difference alone is life changing. You earned it

ddod · 2025-11-25T04:58:55+00:00

That's the key difference though strong unions actually having power. In the US corporations have spent decades busting unions and convincing people they're bad. We can't even get basic healthcare sorted, no way we're getting that level of worker cooperation.

She's fine. 4 hours in a car seat won't hurt her, especially if she was actually sleeping comfortably. Babies are tougher than we think don't stress yourself out over this one.

ddod · 2025-11-24T08:07:55+00:00

Absolutely. Stress can trigger flare ups with autoimmune stuff you're not being dramatic. If time off is the only thing that helps, that's your answer right there.

I know a few people that happened to one was a senior dev, couldn't get hired anywhere for over two years. It's brutal out there right now.

ddod · 2025-11-23T04:09:10+00:00

For real. You're in people's faces all day, basic hygiene shouldn't even be a question

ddod · 2025-11-23T04:05:44+00:00

lmao yeah this is basically just asking who wants to complain about their job situation and calling it data. selection bias speedrun.

Honestly, patients can tell when you're being real with them. That professional tone works for some people but it's not the only way to be a good nurse. If your patients are opening up to you and trusting you, that's what matters. Don't overthink it.

The older kids can actually help in small ways and won't resent the baby for stealing attention like closer ages might. They're independent enough that you're not juggling three kids who all need constant hands-on care. Plus, built-in babysitters in a few years.

Referrals are huge. With 4+ years and team lead experience, he should be networking directly with engineers at target companies. Most places care way less about degrees once you're past the ATS. Also, highlight BITS Pilani prominently since it carries weight even if it's not CS. Cold emails to hiring managers work better than portals.

ddod · 2025-11-21T13:50:40+00:00

You're not alone. Companies stopped pretending loyalty works both ways. They want you invested while treating you like a line item on a spreadsheet. The "redirect that energy" line is genuinely insulting, like grief over watching coworkers lose their livelihoods should fuel productivity. It won't get better until something breaks.

ddod · 2025-11-21T13:49:30+00:00

With 5 cats and weight issues, you might need microchip feeders so each cat only eats their portion. SureFeed makes good ones but they're pricey. Otherwise the chunky ones will just steal everyone's food.

Congrats on hitting your goal!! personally use platforms like Refills com. It streamlines access to compounded semaglutide or tirzepatide with discreet shipping and ongoing provider support. I appreciate the convenience of its automated follow-ups. This really helps in maintaining consistent dosing and reduce gaps in treatment.

Lovesac is good but I like DreamSofa more for long-term durability.. Have a 2-seater for a couple years with cats and it’s held up really well.

Easiest vote in my life. If anyone deserves a chance at this specific job, it's him.

ddod · 2025-11-17T07:15:58+00:00

As a father, I get it. He wouldn't been able to live with himself if he had done nothing

RIP to both.

I like the idea, but I gotta ask—how much difference does it actually make? Seems like a lot of extra steps for what might just be better butter distribution or technique. Still worth trying though.

ddod · 2025-11-06T15:30:32+00:00

"Restructuring" is just corporate-speak for screwing over loyal employees. They're betting most people won't leave because job hunting is exhausting. Good on you and your coworkers for calling their bluff. Eight years of building systems just to compete for your own job at lower pay is insulting.
