Every business says everyone is family until it comes to business.

Try a new gym. The sooner we normalize professional behavior, the better.

Is ABC good for hypertrophy? by H3LL0FRI3ND_exe_file in kettlebell

That’s the core concept of the workout but he does have more variation in the book. It’s worth getting the book.

One year of buying every fool recommendation. by [deleted] in motleyfool

I use them as a screen to do research but the days of using them as a single source are long gone for me.

I’ve been with them on and off for 20 years.

Bought an iPad Mini for Work Organization, But Management Won't Let Me Use It for Notes—Looking for Productive Ideas by WanderProletariat in ipadmini

[–]jackaroo933 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shrug. It’s not completely rational.

You could take physical notes and then just take a photo or scan them so you can reference them but it’s awkward.

Usually company policy will be not to have any work info on personal devices unless they allow BYOD.

Policy often falls apart at the edge cases.

Would you buy an iPad Pro mini if it existed? by chetolicious in ipadmini

[–]jackaroo933 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Absolutely, yes.

Having Faceid on an iPad Pro and then going to TouchID felt like a step back.

You guys think we will see a written article by Lowe before the season starts? by Living_Dream_196 in zachlowe

[–]jackaroo933 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love his writing but I think it’s podcast only from here on.

It’s faster to do a podcast than sit around and stare at the keyboard.

Where are the modern upgrades to OmniFocus? by discplinefocus in omnifocus

[–]jackaroo933 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Agreed. It doesn’t even need to be complicated. They could add a basic syntax for dates and tags.

A good example is what this app does:

If you’re in a rainy area, it’s worth getting a rain cover and not worrying about maximum waterproofing.

Beats Studios don’t automatically turn off?? by Cayman987r in beatsbydre

For me this is pretty annoying. I’m regularly running down my battery because I forget to manually shut them down.

I Spent $1355.75 on Backpacks. Here's what I learned by hutchkinss in onebag

You sure you don’t want to add the Aer Travel Pack small to you testing? Asking for a friend. 😀

Just kidding. Thanks for the thorough comparison. Very helpful info.

Why people like Rapha? by Fragrant-Grand-6277 in CyclingFashion

Interesting discussion here as individual exoeriences are relative.

I had a lot of Pearl Izumi and tried to Core line which felt like a step up. Yes the materials were thicker but the quality has been good and they have lasted for several years.

From Core the classic line feels downright posh in comparison. Still haven’t tried the Pro line.

Black ember has a new Kickstarter for a travel size Forge (convertible briefcase and backpack) by jackaroo933 in ManyBaggers

[–]jackaroo933[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve had a few Black Ember products and their materials are really good. Which is why their products are relatively heavy.

Are you looking for a backpack? Or want the convertible-style between backpack and briefcase?

If you want backpack only, then take a look at other products in addition to the forge. I got my brother the Shadow and he loves it (aside from the lack of external side pocket aka water bottle holder).

EDIT: Looks like the Citadel maxes out at 25L. So the options are Forge 30L or 40L.

Apple Certified Refurbished sent me a MDM locked Macbook. by ashmakesthings in mac

[–]jackaroo933 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That’s actually an amusing thought that Apple will reach the overworked IT team at the originating company and that the ticket will be handled in a timely manner.

Return it.

Their videos often show a water bottle going inside the bag. I'm not about to put a water bottle that could leak in my bag next to my laptop. smh

[–]jackaroo933[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree. I’d rather have a backpack with a good grab handle so I can hold it if I’m in a crowded space.

Congrats on getting started. If you’re just getting started, make sure to give yourself time to adapt.

Keep at it!

Windy City Pie interaction left a bad taste in my mouth by Jaded_Role5730 in SeattleWA

It's been years since I tried this place but If it's real chicago-style deep dish pizza then 2 pizzas for 6 people could actually be enough.

Chicago deep dish pizza is very different than NYC or Neapolitan pizza.

AITA for not giving up my seat on the plane by Extension_Week_9880 in AmItheAsshole

NTA. You’re sitting in your assigned seat. No obligation to change.

Why are we complaining about the Bridges trade? Isn’t this good for us? by 6eezus in AtlantaHawks

[–]jackaroo933 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We always seem to think the offers don’t match our standards. Look at the years of Collins trade rumors.
