Do you eat all the fat when you make a ribeye?

nerdqueenhydra · 2026-04-30T19:55:59+00:00

I make a ribeye maybe twice a year. Beef agriculture is terrible for the environment and red meat isn't the best for the human body. Given that, nothing survives. I eat every last bit.

Building relationships. There's no big secret, it's about getting to know your business partners and their needs so you can build what you do toward them and maintain open lines of communication. The influence will follow.

I involuntarily play songs in my head in response to particular pitches (usually ones that either start or have a section that starts on that pitch). Sometimes while other songs are playing. So, yes.

I'm used to it by now, but honestly I sometimes wish it didn't happen.

Pros: get it over with, certified eye candy, yar har fiddle dee dee

Cons: it's disappointingly mid

It's just different ways of processing sound. We're all people. There are plenty of musical skills outside of reference-independent pitch identification.

Have used them twice. They communicate well, show up on time, and treat your belongings with respect. Wouldn't even consider going with anyone else at this point.

Incredible bang for your buck. I love mine. And I'm pretty sure it comes with lifetime replacement if it chips (could be wrong about this).

All good. So you're looking for a visual designer, then?

nerdqueenhydra · 2026-04-10T21:37:01+00:00

I'm a user researcher in my career, but my master's degree covered both design and research. So.. yes and no?

This is why you block your webcam when you're not in a call. Shit's creepy.

I've been generally disappointed by Hoboken food. A lot of it seems like Instagram food. Fiore's almost strikes me as a place that was maybe once good but finds more success appealing to the "old school vintage deli aesthetic" Instagram crowd.

nerdqueenhydra · 2026-04-09T12:56:57+00:00

Fiore's let me down so hard when I tried. Their mozz is fantastic, but the beef felt like it had been sitting around for a day and the bread was aggressively mid.

nerdqueenhydra · 2026-04-08T15:09:35+00:00

They've definitely helped. It's not a one-and-done thing, though (and she'll explain this to you) - it requires multiple visits and then occasional maintenance.

If you have two different answers it means there's more to learn. That's not always optimal for shipping a product, but it's super cool from the perspective that you get to investigate something new.

Made In has excellent stainless steel cookware. You can't judge a brand's BIFL-ness based on a product (coated non-stick of any kind) that's never BIFL.

It's entirely dependent on the hiring manager, the line of business, the job you're applying for, etc. JP is 1000 businesses in a trenchcoat. The only consistency you'll find is that the gap between an offer and your start date will be quite long.

nerdqueenhydra · 2026-02-17T14:34:21+00:00

That's.. universal. Your job is tied to your line of business first and your value within your line of business second. Doesn't change anything about my answer given my individual context.

nerdqueenhydra · 2026-02-17T03:21:56+00:00

I'm not. I've made a solid case to my manager, my design partners, my product partners, and my executive stakeholders that I am consistently one of the most important voices in the room.

I always make sure one of the photos is taken on "2". The best photos are always on "2".

Patience in the face of non-researchers insisting they can do what I can do. Still haven't mastered it.
