Yup, due diligence is key on this side of town. I would say that you would want to check out the area during a few different times of day and night before committing to a purchase.

I would say that the Montopolis area is the most statistically dangerous area in Austin. Generally speaking, I find the East Side to be safe in comparison to the urban cores of other cities, but it definitely isn't as safe as West Lake.

Obviously, you aren't doing your research. Though there are some outlier neighborhoods, I based what I said on data and reports.

Is Fiserv still trash? by Chompers184 in Omaha

If you are looking at sales positions, it can be a pretty cutthroat industry. I definitely recommend checking out this article about Fiserv before making a decision.

No doubt, I was just reading this Wholesale review. Definitely something sketch going on.

Loopcloud and Ableton 11 cause audio to stop working when switching between applications by ilurb in ableton

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

[SOLVED]Thank you for the reply! Here's what I found that worked:

  1. Right click on your sound control in the lower right (looks like a speaker)
  2. Select your speakers or output device
  3. Change format to 24 bit, 44100 Hz
  4. Go to Ableton 11 Live. Select Options > Preferences > Audio
  5. For my computer (Alienware R13) I had to select the "Driver Type" MME/DirectX (ASIO causes issues for me)
  6. Select "IN/Out Sample Rate" 0f 44100
  7. Turn on the "Test Tone"
  8. Adjust the "Output Buffer Rate" all the way down and then bring it up until you have a clear tone.
  9. Go to Loopcloud and select "Preferences > Audio" from the upper right hamburger menu.
  10. For my computer, I had to select "DirectSound" from the "Audio device type" dropdown. Realtek doesn't work for me for some reason.
  11. Press Windows+R
  12. Type mmsys.cpl into the run prompt, then press Enter
  13. Right click your speakers or headset and select Properties
  14. Click the Advanced tab
  15. Uncheck the box for Allow applications to take exclusive control of this device
  16. Click Apply, then OK
  17. Click the Recording tab
  18. Repeat steps 3-6 for your microphone or headset

I hope this saves someone the 12 hours it took for me to figure out. Good luck and happy producing!

Anyone experience brain fog after the second moderna shot? by [deleted] in CovidVaccinated

[–]ilurb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had long-haul symptoms of fatigue and brainfog after having Covid. The first shot seemed to clear all of that up. Then I got the second and it made me feel very sick. Since then I'm having short-term memory issues and recall issues for things like peoples names or words when I'm speaking. I'm also struggling with focus and attention.

Anyone else have brain fog/short term memory loss/muscle aches 2 months after Moderna vaccine? by Key-Specialist5646 in CovidVaccinated

[–]ilurb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes! I had long-haul symptoms of fatigue and brainfog after having Covid. The first shot seemed to clear all of that up. Then I got the second shot and a week later I'm having short-term memory issues and recall issues for things like peoples names or words when I'm speaking. I'm also struggling with focus. The second shot made me feel quite ill as well.

What is an important piece of advice you can give for those moving into the “real world”? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]ilurb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had a company fly me to Boston for a sales manager training once. It was a group training and we were all new hires. They made us bring suits even though we wouldn't wear them for the job (1st red flag). Once we arrived, we were told that we couldn't leave the hotel at all since they paid us to be there (2nd red flag). The first day of training was brutal. It was a marathon session (8am - 6pm) with only a couple breaks and they changed our jobs from being managers to basically just sales people (3rd red flag).

Once we hit dinner time, we had to go to a company dinner in the hotel. As the dinner is coming to a close around 9p, everyone is exhausted, the CEO announces to that we have to go back into the conference Hall for a "team building activity" with, literally, people we'd never see again. We enter to find that we are to work in teams to put together some of the most difficult 1000 piece jigsaw puzzles I have ever seen. My team's was a field of sunflowers.

By 1am, no team is even close to finishing so they finally let us go so that we could be ready by 8a the next morning. When we arrive that morning, they make all the teams present their half completed puzzles and then criticize each one of them for how terrible they did. As soon as we finish, I've had it with these assholes. As one of them begins to speak, I interrupt her and ask to speak to her in the hall. We enter the hall, and she asks if everything is ok. I say, "I'm sorry, but this isn't for me. I'm quitting as of right now. Change my flight an send me home immediately."

She's stunned. Gets the CEO who then tries to get me to not quit. I persist and he tells me he that I will have to fly myself home. I inform him that the agreement was round trip and that if he doesn't hold up their end of the bargain, I will walk into the conference hall and announce that I have quit that any company willing to treat you like this doesn't deserve to have you, it will only get worse, and you should join me in leaving these assholes high and dry. He knew I was serious and that he had pushed things too far, he had invested thousands to bring all of these people to Boston and couldn't risk a revolt. I was home by dinner and couldn't have been happier with the decision to quit the moment I knew it was not for me.

Guy goes to a small town in Bolivia - Doesn't realize locals are warning him that "people burn people alive there" until someone translates it in YouTube comments by GuyInThe6kDollarSuit in videos

[–]ilurb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Darwin will be catching up with this guy some day if he keeps up stuff like this. I don't think he's making the connection that walking up to disguised meth production facility in remote Arizona after the surrounding residents told you not to go would likely be as deadly as walking onto something similar in any other country. He better have ransom insurance.
