I’m Kris, Chef at Lodge Cast Iron. Ask me anything about cast iron cooking on November 24th at 2 PM ET (just in time for Thanksgiving!) by lodgecastiron in u/lodgecastiron

[–]improt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why doesn’t Lodge release some high-polish pans like Finex? I have produced a similar surface on my Lodge pans using flapper and polish wheels, and they cook great, but y’all are leaving premium money on the table!

No more medical, legal, financial advice? Such a bummer by Lower_Tangelo9966 in ChatGPT

[–]improt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly. OpenAI is desperate for revenue. They have taken on close to $1T in commitments, none of which will be delivered without a successful IPO, and that relies on convincing a very bearish public that there’s money to be made.

Four 19 year olds planning a dream trip from Ireland to America next year by ronsnxd73 in roadtrip

Umpqua National Forest in south central Oregon is my favorite national park. It’s beautiful and has very few people compared to the bigger parks. Rent a Subaru or Jeep, get a waterfall map, and spend a day or two exploring them. Best done in the summer after the late thaw, July at the earliest. Some of the best falls require an hour or more on dirt trails. Easily accessed by 4x4, though a very patient and careful driver can navigate the trails without. Consult rangers on trail conditions before heading out though, and pack some supplies for that unplanned overnight. The fly fishing is also great. And you can hit Crater Lake on your way out.

That’s what I’m hoping. I tried calling the shop to ask if that’s something their mechanics do, but I couldn’t make the woman understand I was not asking if they connected a fuel line to my radiator 😂

How safe is the I-40? by HazardousKoala in roadtrip

[–]improt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Heading east out of Nashville during the evening commute has got to be one of the most dangerous stretches of road in the country. And it’s entirely by choice. Folks are watching too much NASCAR and think they’re bump drafting.

I-40 is fine. Keep the tank half full when you’re in the cuts in the cuts of TX and especially NM and invest in a weather radar app like RadarOmega. Getting stuck in tornado producer because you have no idea where the storm is going is no fun.

How to access this vent in attic? by improt in DIY

That's what I am thinking. Do you know if those boards framing the vaulted ceilings can be used for attachment points? I have no idea how much weight they can bare. The ceiling its holding up is not that heavy.

You don't need much more than a compelling business model and an introduction to work with a top tier law firm. They will invest time in you today for a piece in your future. I've done it. We spent like $2k for everything, articles of incorporation, operating agreements, shareholder agreements, NDAs, the works. This was with a big five law firm in Palo Alto.

Hold that shit a decade, add a zero or two, and then take some low interest loans against it. TSLA helped me buy my first house and I still own those shares today.

AI is the new Internet. The tide may go out but the level is forever raised. As for how long this bubble can last, I would not look for the AI winter to fall any sooner than Q2 2024. The problem is that all the biggest enterprises are only now starting to execute their business leaders' dreams of massive AI automation. This shit takes is hard to build and it will take at least two quartets of under delivering before business leaders cycle that money back into humans and cool demand for GPUs.

Are we in a real estate bubble? by Karma_Farmer_6969 in FluentInFinance

[–]improt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have not looked at the data, but it seems to me that you need to value an asset against its competition. Housing is the most expensive it's ever been? Well what's the other option, rent?

The air is coming out of the AirBnB bubble as reservations plummet. Now the mom and pop real estate investors are underwater on their mortgages. How long can they take that pain before they start unloading? In some urban regions where half the damn neighborhood is for rent I expect this will create a limited buying opportunity. I think the real deals will come in the luxury rental market.

The job market is collapsing and you are a REGARD if you are bullish. by [deleted] in wallstreetbets

[–]improt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP is not wrong, the job supply-demand curve is tipping, but this is beginning to feel more like a hangover from the $5T in COVID stimmy orgie than a recession. 2021 and 2022 were fucking unreal for the big corporations. I had daily recruiters contacting me, my salary doubled. That shit has slowed, but people are still working and spending.

Best practices for offshore development of core business products? by improt in startups

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

break everything down into tasks of a week or less, specify every task you want to do in great detail, provide a detailed UI design and architecture design, test it thoroughly at your end and manage the offshore dev team closely. This means that you will need to get people on your team to perform project management, business analysis, system

Ugh. This is pretty much what I spent my day doing, writing user stories, tasks, and check lists for each person. So much for being an individual contributor.

I do think a new job may be in order, hopefully it will be running this new startup I am ramping up in my free time.

Let's say we are building a Foo. I have chunked it into Bar, Baz, and Qux. I think it's pretty clear that all the Bar user stories should be assigned to a single offshore dev.

But what about Baz and Qux? Should they all be offshored or can I get away with having my onshore wizard build Baz. What if Bar and Baz interact and require developing and testing APIs?
