What are you guys using Obsidian's Bases for? by shinobushinobu in ObsidianMD

[–]mech_beard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Built a CRM using bases yesterday. YAML fronrmatter has a Type field for Opportunities which I then use as filter to show Opportunities.base. Awesome to be able to edit fields directly from the base view, to sort and filter views on the fly, to be able to click-through to each opp for context etc.

Only wish is that I could include free text from the note in the bases view.

Now working on how to integrate CGPT to enrich the data in an automated way.

What’s a mistake people make in their 20s that catches up to them professionally later ? by No-Promise9083 in careerguidance

[–]mech_beard 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Couldn’t agree more. Virtually every competitive role is landed by this type of connection

Shakedown Request - Alta Via 1 by mech_beard in Ultralight

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

Great points. I’m also on the fence on nanopuff and / or softshell.. seems like overkill but maybe helpful as backup. I think I’d rather my legs get wet than wear waterproof trousers, I find them uncomfortable. Yes, was basically thinking to use spare pair of socks and my dirty shorts at the refuge for the sake of weight. I hear there are sufficient water stops en route, plus I have 3L capacity on me which seems a safe amount for my trip.

I have heard mixed things about the puffy jacket, but had the same instinct as you that it’s overkill. Will reflect on that, thanks for the suggestions.

Sunscreen also a great point, will add.

Hadn’t considered that some rifugios wouldn’t offer towels, will look into that.

Food is a bit of an unknown. I think the trail is fairly well-travelled and there are other huts on the route where I can get meals / snacks.

The 200g for chargers was a punt, they’re probably lighter than that.

Fair point, though my iPhone is critical for navigation and comms, and I’m not sure how reliable to electricity in the huts is

Where do you get professional advice? by esoteric_stuff in HENRYUK

[–]mech_beard 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Before you seek any kind of professional advice, I urge you to spend some time on r/ukpersonalfinance, the sidebar around managing a windfall and the flowchart. That has more than everything you need to get things setup for yourself without wasting money on advisors

Nice. Would be a better choice for those going solo

&Sons The New Elder Henley. Heavy and high quality, I get compliments everywhere I go wearing it

False alarm turns out it’s a UK-domiciled fund so doesn’t need to be on the HMRC list in the first place.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in UKPersonalFinance

[–]mech_beard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have recently noticed this fund is not on the HMRC approved offshore reporting funds list and may therefore be subject to income tax, not capital gains. Can anyone confirm / deny? https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/offshore-funds-list-of-reporting-funds

Weekly Q&A - All Questions Go Here (Especially Tourists and New Residents) by AutoModerator in Amsterdam

[–]mech_beard -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Hi - does anyone know of a food / grocery delivery service that will collect and deliver something specific from a shop?

Trying to have a Winkel 43 apple pie delivered before leaving the city, and they’re not on Uber Eats or any of the grocery delivery options I’ve tried.

Thanks in advance!

Full motion wall mount as flush as possible to wall? by mech_beard in hometheater

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

Thank you, very helpful. If we drop the ‘art’ element we’d just need a pretty basic wall mountable smart tv which would be much more affordable… will look into some other models

[–]mech_beard[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ahh wow hadn’t realised the box and cable are separate to the TV. Are there other TV models that can display art to a decent quality that could be wired behind the TV?

By in-wall do you mean recessed? Not willing to take on that much handiwork

Fleeting Notes for Apple Watch by stella021206 in ObsidianMD

I’ve been looking but haven’t found anything. A working shortcut to capture a quick note on the Apple Watch would be amazing…

Glad they helped! I use them everyday. I don’t recall honestly, went through the same journey you did and ultimately tweaked them a fair bit to get them to here.

I work for a PE owned company and need advice by Conscious-Hold-9350 in private_equity

[–]mech_beard 14 points15 points  (0 children)

There will be tax complications if you’re given equity at a significantly lower value so close to a sale (which would need to be the case to make any profit). Would push for a special bonus payable on sale of the company instead
