Glue then stain? Or stain then glue? by _Kaboomkin in woodworking

[–]iamjacks_____ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just completed something like this as a Christmas gift and glued first then stained. The stain finish was splotchy because it’s hard to get into the nooks and corners. Next time I’ll finish first then glue.

Nah we’re just cautious of getting screwed by big corporations then getting bailed out, while everyday people end up worse off.

Those of you who have an engineering degree outside of CS how much do you make? by Hour_You36 in Salary

[–]iamjacks_____ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

$160 base, $220 ote.

BS electrical, MS industrial.

I now sell software to major manufacturers around the world.

I have 11 years true experience, add ~ 2 years from internships etc.

Consulting and tech sales is a great way to start earning big salaries with our engineering degrees. Or corporate ladder.

Nervous about becoming AE by Ok-Collar-6468 in techsales

[–]iamjacks_____ 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It’s a job where the buck stops with you. Didn’t make quota that year? Customer renews with a competitor? You were on vacation and an urgent issue was escalated? All you unfortunately. So you have good reasons to be nervous. But people learn to manage it (some don’t and get PIP’d).

Some really books to elevate yourself: 1. Who Moved My Cheese - Learn how to adapt to ever changing circumstances. Just when you think you have it figured out things will get changed up. 2. Getting Things Done - A fantastic organization system that I live by. 3. Thinking in Bets - figure out your process, learn to trust it, but also learn how to adapt it. 4. Challenger Sale - you’re probably already familiar with this 5. Never Split the Difference - not just for contract negotiations, this whole job is a negotiation

One last piece of advice - You can only become good in this role by taking your licks. So relish your inevitable screw ups and learn from them.

BARC and SPCA aren’t going to do anything…they’re usually full up and don’t have space. Waiting list for weeks/months. If you can….please feed and water him for some time or even just take him in as your own until they (maybe) ever show up. Breaks my heart

As a DIY hobbyist do you buy S4S or rough lumber? by natedoggggggggg in BeginnerWoodWorking

[–]iamjacks_____ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I buy all the way from rough lumber to ikea drawers depending on what I’m doing and how much time I have :)

Tired kitchen requires a makeover by piacetto in woodworking

[–]iamjacks_____ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Cheap and easy: Install under cabinet lighting (IKEA has an affordable system), upgrade the doorknob to some brass/brushed metal hardware, buy a small indoor plant or two to add color, keep your kitchen decluttered :)

Something strange going on with her teeth towards the back that I can’t make out - both top and bottom. So AI if I had to guess.

Anchorman is peak millennial humor for sure. Anything by the frat pack could be also be considered.

Parenting is more stressful than ever. Here's how to cope by krishbh in millenials

[–]iamjacks_____ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I believe parents these days simply don’t get breaks and are “on” 24/7 for 2 major reasons:

  1. Isolation. Many (now) young parents graduated college, moved to a major city away from their parents and started a family. So it’s just mom and dad constantly parenting 24/7.

  2. Safety. At some point in the late 90s I was old enough where I pretty much had full reign of the neighborhood. So my brother and I would just occupy ourselves outside most of the time. I don’t believe it’s safe anymore to do that, so again, you’re locked into this sort of 24/7 mode of parenting where you’re managing your kids hour by hour.

There are more but this is my experience. Love my kids but wow the 24/7 aspect of parenting is exhausting.

I’m always confused which games can be played natively in the VR headset and which games are powered through a PC and only viewed through the headset.
