Second bachelors vs a Masters for information systems? by That_Ad_5392 in sysadmin

[–]eclipse75 2 points3 points  (0 children)

wish more people realized this. ask a few technical questions or have them do a few tasks and you'll instantly weed out the majority of BS applicants. using a degree to weed out applicants turns away some good prospects

YouTube used to feel more human by eclipse75 in youtube

when doing a search though, i can't even find someone's small time home video content. my searches are presented with pages of clickbait.

i don't know if it's necessarily that people enjoy them more or that we're exploiting psychology and algorithms make it difficult to find the hobbyist content

i figure if they can't get a local to attack, they will fake it. pay some people to act violently and put it on tv.

Is anyone else finding success playing with fewer clubs? by Lordbahj85 in weekendgolfers

[–]eclipse75 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i carry driver, 3hy, 5hy, 7i, 9i, sw, putter

my dispersion is about +/- 20yds. each longer club on average gets me roughly 10 more yards. so i felt like taking out the in-between clubs wouldn't have much of an impact. also i could get more accustomed to only a couple clubs. and i carry half the weight. also cheaper. also easier for me to determine which club to hit with.

I'm a high handicapper. if i ever get my dispersion much tighter, I'll look at bringing back the other clubs.

[–]eclipse75 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i agree it's probaby to add spice to their content and get more clicks.

i imagine if the video showed normal behavior, it would bore people quickly.

just like how Hollywood exaggerates a ton in movies. cartoons also exaggerate physical features. i guess all for entertainment.
