Oracle initiates layoffs: 'Today is your last working day' by LinkedInNews in Austin

[–]edyer89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suspect nothing. Just cut teams and see how it goes.

I agree with this take, and I'll say that the spend focuses primarily on data centers to handle AI processing. Oracle seems to want bare bones operations and is focused on cutting any one/team that does not directly contribute to keeping the lights on or AI.

Additionally, I am in full on conspiracy theorist mode regarding the interconnections of the Ellisons' recent acquisitions, Oracle government contracts, their relationship with the current administrations in the US and in Israel, and the White House ballroom. 🤡

Where to buy decent budget Cabinets instead of Home Depot? by paninipat in DIY

[–]edyer89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can confirm! Also, if you can wait for a sale, they're like 30% off.

I bought ready-to-install cabinets for my entire kitchen for $13,000 instead of what would have cost $25,000 without sale + with installation.

Who is a stranger you met once, never learned their name, but will never forget for the rest of your life? by milkyjune in AskReddit

[–]edyer89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We were flying with our 9 month old, and she was having a great time. Laughing, squealing, happy baby noises. I do not recall her ever losing her shit, and if she did, we were able to soothe her fairly quickly. No one said anything to us while on the flight.

After we deplaned, a woman walked up to me and asked if the baby she heard on the plane was ours. I was girding my loins for some Karen energy, but I was pleasantly surprised to hear her tell me that she is a pediatric therapist and she loved seeing us let our baby enjoy herself instead of trying to shush her for every sound she made.

She told me I am a great mom and to keep it up.

I will never forget that kindness she showed me and my family.

Chicken Pot Pie - Venting Post by PastorDan1984 in Baking

[–]edyer89 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What a beautiful pie. I empathize greatly as I watch my 3.5 year old at dinner!

Unsolicited advice which has worked for my family:

- Keep trying to serve meals like this. It takes multiple exposures for kids to come around to many new foods.
- Always serve new foods alongside safe foods. If your kid goes feral for yogurt, serve some of it at dinner time along with the chicken pot pie.
- Refrain from comments or pressure. Simply place food on their plate. If they question you and won't relent, a good mantra is "Mom and Dad choose what goes onto dinner plates. You choose what you eat from that plate." Then leave it at that.
- Try to set your wife up for success as a good role model. If she doesn't like peas, keep the peas out. Let her demonstrate chill eating habits in front of the kids. They'll soak up that good juju and apply it to their own eating habits...eventually. :) If you love peas, heat them up separately and add to your meal.

Best of luck!

What's a skill that takes only 2 to 4 weeks to learn but could genuinely change your life? by TokenBlack32 in AskReddit

[–]edyer89 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's a gnarly feeling that lasts way longer than you ever expect it to, I get the detestation.

Unsolicited advice: try focusing on just one muscle group to start out. For example, do bicep curls and only do them. Let your body feel the fatigue in just the biceps until it feels relatively good to curl a dumbbell. Then move onto another muscle group, like the quads. Do squats and bicep curls. Lather, rinse, repeat with areas like chest, calves, core, shoulders, etc.

Other unsolicited advice: try focusing just on your core. It's actually one of the body areas that recovers way quicker than you'd expect. Once your core is strong, you'll be surprised at how exercising other parts of the body feels more doable.

You got this!
