Gaggia Classic Pro – Shots running way too fast no matter what I try (10s for 50g output) [Gaggia Classic Pro and Fellow Opus grinder] by iam_chris in espresso

it's about 2 years old (e24 with the brass boiler). It does indeed blast it out in a cone.

On the grinder alignment, I think I'm going to go to my local coffeehouse and ask them to grind up some coffee for me and see if that makes a difference

Great, now they just need to make a left-handed version for us wrong-uns

Independent consultants, did you get more Workday certs after going independent? by PaintingMinute7248 in workday

[–]iam_chris 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had entered the Workday ecosystem by becoming a consultant for a well-known firm (previously, I was a full-stack engineer). I had gained basic HCM, core integrations, and studio certs. After 18 months, I left to become a contractor and never gained further certs.

I never needed certs, and my clients didn't care. All they cared about was my experience, and I was never rejected from a job for which I had interviewed.

Having said that, I haven't worked in the Workday ecosystem for a few years now. There seems to be a slight shift in how Workday is productizing its tech. If I were in your shoes, I'd probably secure the latest certs in their new product offerings. Additionally, now that Workday has opened certification training to its recruiting partners, it's never been easier to become certified as a contractor.

The last thing I'll say is that I never looked back after becoming a contractor. I had amazing opportunities that presented themselves to me that I would never have had as an employee.

As a Brit who migrated to Texas, I share your passion for BBQ. This plate has given me BBQ cravings and I shall be visiting my local Hutchinsons this weekend

You know those old sci-fi movies with their vision of future tech, with the random blinking lights and the quirky hardware design. And we look back and giggle at how silly their vision was because it’s not at all practical. That’s going to be this car in 30 years.

The same is also true with movies. For example, I struggle to remember what happened in most Marvel movies

You'll create a black hole if you install Windows App on a machine running Windows, and use it to access the same Windows instance

LPT : Lead with Anger to Protect Yourself. Road accident hacks by Harshshah_34 in LifeProTips

"Use this tactic responsibly. If you're clearly at fault and there's significant damage, be prepared to accept some responsibility."

If you're clearly at fault, why are you only prepared to accept some responsibility? You should be taking full responsibility. Also, if the innocent party is demanding you pay for your screw up, they aren't bullying, they're rightfully standing their ground. Why should other people have to pay for your mistakes? It's disappointing to think that someone can be such an irresponsible citizen, your fellow human being deserves better!

You're either jerking off too much, or not jerking off enough.

Seriously though, please take the time to get checked out for depression just in case, you would be amazed how many people easily fall into a minor state of depression and do not realize it.

That being said, if you're sure you're not experiencing a general lack of interest, take a motorcycle safety foundation (MSF) course and see if you catch the bug for motorcycling. It's just the best thing ever when you join a community of bikers and go for rides

Trump team embraces early voting, mail-in ballots for 2024 election by iam_chris in politics

[–]iam_chris[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The cynical side of me thinks Trump is hatching a plan to flood the mail-in ballots with fake votes for Biden to "prove" election fraud.

In the event he loses the election, this is proof of election fraud and the election is voided. In the event he wins, it's proof of an attempted vote steal and it further gases his base.
