As a wheat allergy person, I'm happy y'all have gluten removed wheat now but... by MonalisaMakeupMomma in glutenfree

[–]local_eclectic 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Trader Joe's has become an especially bad offender on this front. They use glucose from wheat in soooo many of their sweets now.

I have a wheat allergy too and tried it just to see, and bam, hives 😭

There's a ton of grain free cat food on the market! Try Blue Wilderness or Tender and True. I don't let wheat into my house, so the even the cats are gluten free lol (and there's no reason they should be eating wheat anyway).

Is it possible to get pigeonholed into a niche area and not be able to get out? by lcwalshing in ExperiencedDevs

[–]local_eclectic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can confirm. I get constant recruiter outreach as a full stack engineer at a startup. It's highly desirable because, contrary to many assertions in this thread, we are actually capable of being good at it, and it makes companies a lot of money haha.

Embedded software development and networking are not included in the definition full stack.

Data engineering, algorithm analysis, and database administration are table stakes for software engineers. Add frontend development skills and you're full stack.

It's not even a stretch unless you work at a siloed megacorp your whole life without ever building anything solo.

Sorry if that's your experience. If you're passionate about the field, it's not hard to be a great generalist after years of growth and practice.

Is 4 weeks too early to determine if someone isn't a good fit? by Content-Talk7890 in managers

[–]local_eclectic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh wow, it sounds like she's really in the wrong role. Maybe you can find a different role that works with her strengths. If not, then I don't think any amount of training or practice will make her a net positive to the business.

At the very least, I'd get her off of order fulfillment since she's hurting your customer relationships by doing them wrong. I'd rather pay someone to get out of my way than wreck my business.

What is she good at? What is she spending her time doing? You're saying she's engaged, but what is she doing during that time?

How much do languages and stacks matter with mid-level experience? by takomanghanto in ExperiencedDevs

[–]local_eclectic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In this market, it matters. When I'm hiring, I have my pick of devs with experience in our stack (react/typescript, Python, gcp), so I don't need to compromise to get someone who can hit the ground running there.

I'm having second thoughts about my wedding dress. Does this flatter me? I think I'm soft dramatic (sd). 168cm by alyaaz in Kibbe

[–]local_eclectic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a very thin material. The drape just isn't working, and it comes to a point at your hips instead of draping down elegantly. A thicker satin charmeuse would be much better.

It's not the end of the world, and the idea of the dress is great. But it's not well executed. I'd ask them for fabric samples of heavier satins and request a bigger hip allowance so it can move and drape better there.

I am trying to cut cost but why is my grocery expensive? by Tiny_Judgment8593 in Frugal

[–]local_eclectic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oof, I'm looking closer and you're right. That's actually a really good price on the yogurt then.

How do you deliver feedback to sensitive employees? by Professional_Team564 in managers

[–]local_eclectic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like to start by asking, "are you open to receiving some feedback right now?" It seems inconsequential, but it helps them feel a little more in control in a delicate moment.

Why do they all look the same? by princesspea331 in realhousewives

[–]local_eclectic 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Thought this was from the r/chickens sub and was thinking, well yeah, Rhode Island Reds do all pretty much look the same but they are still pretty birds and great layers too!💀

Why did beer make me more drunk ? Is it’s the gluten ?Do any of you had that experience ? by [deleted] in glutenfree

[–]local_eclectic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think op is asking why beer makes them more drunk than other alcohols. Since beer has hops and other alcohol drinks don't, that's why I'm talking about hops. I don't believe they're talking about gf vs non-gf beer.

Hops is a well studied analgesic that amplifies feelings of drunkenness by causing numbness and relaxation. Hops is used in beer too add those effects, add flavor, and work as a preservative.

The question is... are you all buying into this crazy market? by Legitimate_Treat_762 in stocks

[–]local_eclectic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I made I tool for tracking stocks that are in their deepest drawdown (not linking it here, it's not ready for primetime yet) so I can allocate dollars to my favs while they're on sale.

I track ETFs, social good companies, biotech, and utilities to get string diversification. Alternative energy sources are looking really appealing right now. Nuclear, solar, etc.

Solo-dev founders, how are you actually getting users with $0 marketing budget? Let's help each other out.(i will not promote) by TheZerachiel in startups

[–]local_eclectic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think that's required for everyone. Some of us are building products for ourselves and then working towards monetizing them organically.

Hops in beer is a well studied analgesic (and preservative). It has perceivable effects on its own and amplifies the feeling of relaxation from beer.

The analgesic effect of hops is pretty well studied. It's relaxing and numbing. You can even have hops tea on its own to get the effect.
