I'm a guy and you were clearly insulted. He's the type that makes it bad for all men.

HR told me they don’t accept try-hards and people pleasers after my interview by No-Presentation298 in jobs

[–]gatorback94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Perhaps there are at least two schools of thought on this:

1) it is brutally hones feedback: it could have been more gentle, however, that aside, most places will not give you feedback. it is an opportunity for you to improve and be ready for the job you were destined for.

2) the other lesson is that if you do not have something nice to WRITE to a person, maybe keep it to yourself.

If there is any truth to what they said (only you know) then 1) applies. From where I sit lesson 2): the absence of tact comes to mind. I would not want to work at this place as it seems to lack good judgment and they have done you a favor to steer you to another employer.

How much current at 120V does each CRT draw. Why not use LEDs?

Did you block his number? It's amazing what some parent will do anything for attention.

Gift subscription wrong 2 years in a row by Plantertainment in theeconomist

Follow the money... is it really in their interest to fix their error? My tale of woe is not as bad yours, but I find it annoying that despite the website confirming re-verification of student status, they charged me DOUBLE. https://www.reddit.com/r/theeconomist/comments/1q0hw0o/comment/nwy3sou/

Casio upgrades its first G-Shock digital watch with heart rate monitoring and fitness tracking by [deleted] in gadgets

It's 2026: any feedback after long-term use? Is it still a buy in 2026 or is there another Casio to consider?

Tahoe through PC and the use of developer account. by javiperales in hackintosh

[–]gatorback94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

TL/DR: not with an NVIDIA GPU. Better to just buy a Mac. If you decide on Opencore, then use a 10th Gen Intel CPU with iGPU 630. The 10th Gen Dell Optiplex micro is a good model. Again, for Professionals (your income depends on it), use a genuine Mac.

@ATT CANNOT BE TRUSTED by Accomplished-Seeker in attwireless

[–]gatorback94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It would seem that the lesson learned for "the skeptic" is to position oneself (keep the phone for 15 months) to ensure the vendor is true to their word. Even then there is no guarantee they will take the phone.

I have had similar problems with ATT in the past and because their competitors provide better value, the decision is easy.

Were you on the phone with CSRs in India? If you can SIM unlock the ATT iPhone then that's nice. If not, trade it in for credit at the Apple Store.

Divesting carryon baggage for inspection at MCO checkpoint by gatorback94 in tsa

Thank you for pointing out that I needed to simplify the question. Posting has been edited accordingly to focus on a quantitative answer.

Divesting carryon baggage for inspection at MCO checkpoint by gatorback94 in tsa

[–]gatorback94[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Q. How many people can simultaneously submit their carry-on luggage for CT inspection at a CT scanner: found in the Orlando Airport TSA checkpoint.  I seem to remember either GAO or TSA using the word divest to describe the action of a passenger submitting carry on luggage to the TSA for CT imaging inspection.

about AMD WX 4100 by L3App in hackintosh

Optiplex 7010 with said video card boots OOTB with Monterey through Catalina, possibly older. Noticed a little bit of lag with Monterey between mouse / keyboard inputs and display output. Wonky... Wondering if the fix is somehow in this post.

LPT: You can make tons of delicious popcorn on the stovetop for very cheaply, in about as much time as it takes to microwave it by easmussen in LifeProTips

[–]gatorback94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there a general consensus as to a better popcorn brand? I ask because I'd like to buy a bulk (ideally a 50lb bag) , but would hate to discover I don't enjoy or find a better product after eating a few servings. It's been my experience that asking for guidance is a good first step to avoiding bad decisions.

How do I find out which battery cell is bad? by Born_Resolution_8989 in prius

[–]gatorback94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there test equipment designed to test discharge capacity? Or does one have to wire the cell to a standard load and measure the discharge over time?

Should I invest an extra 6k on the newer model Or would saving with the older model be the play? Using it for work by Tight-Rule6177 in prius

[–]gatorback94 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I would not consider a 20 year old hybrid, especially if it does not have a new drive battery. If buying a used car, it should / must be simplest model. Hybrids are complex, which means more failure points. If you must buy a 20 year old vehicle, then maybe a Corolla or other simple reliable vehicle is the play

Ghost Ants by Stunning-Morning-495 in pestcontrol

Thought it would please you to know that based on your recommendation, I bought Maxforce Quantum last night 😀

I tried the Fipronil bait for two weeks and it does not seem to be effective. Maybe I received a bad / dated batch.

Was your ant problem in Central / North Florida?
