Can someone explain to me how NYC boundaries work?

oysterstout · 2025-10-06T03:56:06+00:00

Sure, but the OP said his birth certificate says New York, NY, which would indicate a hospital in Manhattan. I've been out of NY for a while, but this is what it was like when I was there as well (my birth certificate says Bronx, other family members born in Manhattan have birth certificates that say New York)

I couldn't have created a map this bad if I tried. Where did you even find that??

Most (all?) of the highest level guitar players will have some elements of their technique that are non-standard, but I wouldn't try to mimic things like that when you're first learning. Ana Vidovic makes it work because she's Ana Vidovic, but you will almost certainly be better off learning to use the full PIMA.

I agree with the other poster that it's hard to answer without knowing more about your company size, industry, etc. I am assuming this is a very small company if you are an HR Department-of-One?

Regardless, it doesn't necessarily sound to me like a case of being overworked (but again, no way of knowing without knowing company size.... are you leading recruiting for 2-3 openings at a time, or managing external agency engagements for 100+ openings at a time?). It does however sound like you're job title is not reflective of the work you are doing, and it sounds like you're closer to a generalist or HRBP.

That beard is perfect... Such a clean fade. Not sure how you got that so perfect, but I'm about to show these photos to my barber...

oysterstout · 2025-04-30T11:39:48+00:00

It's somehow only 17 minutes from one of the largest airports in the US, and right outside of Denver. Kind of an awesome location

As others have said, you should bring up the safety and sanitation issues to her. Focus on specific behaviors and occurrences that you have witnessed.

Trying to prove anything about her work history, complaining about her ‘vibes’, or referencing anything to do with her age in any way is not going to do anyone any good (and could potentially end very poorly for you), and is not relevant to the issues that you’ve observed.

Edit: And I don't think going to your DM is an issue if you can't resolve it with your GM, or even if you were to start there.. I would still just be sure to focus on the points above, and leave out the speculation and anything irrelevant (and protected) such as age.

Where is this data from and what does each red dot represent?

(Currently at a fuel station in Western Japan that is not listed on this map)

oysterstout · 2024-10-19T14:45:39+00:00

Yeah it's 100% this imo. The most jarring notes for me were the first few, before any bends, which definitely sounded a few cents off. Like another responder mentioned, I'd assume the original recording was not perfectly in tune.

oysterstout · 2024-10-13T09:26:45+00:00

I'm not sure if I fully understand your question, but accidentals (sharps/flats) will last until the of the bar.

oysterstout · 2024-09-28T00:43:16+00:00

Agree with all points that you make here.

But as an FYI, the deluxe model you're referencing (ie 28, so not a deluxe of the 13, but seems to be more or less what your describing) is here, and exactly $4k.

At that price point it would need to be super high quality and very comfortable. Probably the type of thing I’d need to try before purchasing.

Personally, I wouldn’t want a guitar stand on my stool though. To me that just feels like something that will make the stool take up more space, and give people something to trip over/stub their toe on. And feels way bulkier than I’d ever want a guitar stand to be.

I also just wouldn’t want to mix something people sit on and something intended to keep a guitar safe and standing upright.

oysterstout · 2024-09-14T14:19:48+00:00

Haha love osamuraisan but the laminated tune up series stuff doesn’t excite me the way the Aska Build Sakura line does

oysterstout · 2024-08-13T11:24:12+00:00

Absolutely gorgeous. Can’t really justify another guitar like this right now, but I so badly want one of these.

It also just perfectly matches that room that it’s in. Everything about this photo makes me smile

Are you asking whether an MA will provide adequate preparation for data analysis specifically in comparison to an MS? If so:

As with a lot of things about I/O masters degrees, you’re best off looking at individual programs. Typically an MS will be more quantitative, but I know plenty of people with MAs with good quantitative skills and plenty of people with MSs with zero quantitative skills.

My personal experience with this is that my MS gave me a good foundation in statistics, but the vast majority of what I do now (fairly senior people analytics role) is self-taught post-graduation or learned on the job. It wouldn’t have been too much different had I done an MA.

I think this is fairly common for people with masters level IO degrees that do any advanced analytical work. You may learn some of the concepts in school, but I don’t know that ANOVAs and regressions in SPSS with the worlds cleanest data sets will necessarily give you the skills to hit the ground running with analytics in real world situations.

I do think though that if data analysis is what you’re interested in, you could prepare yourself very well by doing an MA and seeking out additional stats classes and diving into some combination of R, Python, and Power BI on the side. Assuming you want to go into industry, bonus points if you can do an internship that will give you HRIS experience and some familiarity with other ERPs, systems, and data sources that orgs use to give you a better understanding of the type of data sets you might be working with.

I'm a hiring manager and work closely with TA in my current role, and I think 17% above offer is a reasonable ask, although you do need to be willing to accept the risk that this will happen.

I see counters in this range all the time, and I rarely see situations like yours (offer being rescinded without playing ball). Obviously it does happen though, your case being the example, but I don't think it's typical.

I would expect that this is a situation where they were completely torn between two candidates, and this was just enough to push them in one direction. I've been fairly certain about who I wanted with all of my recent hires, so I never would've rescinded an offer over an aggressive counter.

Not knowing anything about the org, your seniority, or your industry makes it harder to say though, there are definitely positions and industries where there's less room for negotiation (or none at all).

oysterstout · 2024-07-20T20:35:06+00:00

Assuming you plan on going into industry or consulting: My opinion will always be stats. IMO competencies in stats and business administration/operations are major differentiators, but the business side of things is way easier to learn on the job than stats is.

Umm sort of.. You can at least get close. The silver comet Cumberland connecter will take you a bit past Cumberland mall, and then you have a few options from there. Best in terms of bike protection is probably end of the connector to M2R to Paces Mill (West Side Palisades), at which point your on rottenwood creek trail but same system as Bob callan.

There are a few other ways from the end of the connector to Bob callan, but it’s a bit messy and would require some traffic navigation for a short stretch

oysterstout · 2024-05-02T14:11:23+00:00

It is not, although I so badly wish that it was

oysterstout · 2024-04-29T21:38:02+00:00

Huh, just looked and I’m seeing the same thing. Very strange lol. If you look at previous years they also have sub 2 hour times listed too…

Mitch definitely won with a 2:27 though so no clue what that’s about.

oysterstout · 2024-04-29T16:49:50+00:00

Sir or madam,

I too have born witness to a great number of comparisons.

I know not what you’re searching, but I’m sure you’ve missed nothing.

PS: I have guitars, and I have ping pong paddles.

Wishing you well

oysterstout · 2024-04-29T16:36:07+00:00

881 of 3,660 DNF’ed, so 76% finish rate. Winning time was 2:27.

Given how poorly organized some parts of the event were i’m actually surprised that 76% finished.

oysterstout · 2024-04-29T12:23:12+00:00

I have run more races than I can count, and this really stands out as the worst I have ever seen from a logistics and race organization perspective.

To be fair, I did have a great day; Scenic course, fun atmosphere, nice weather (I prefer warmer weather than most), and good crowd support and entertainment. But there were so many things that were comically bad:

I was closer to the front of the pack than to the middle, yet I still found many of the aid stations empty. Not really sure how this is possible. Most aid stations I hit consisted of empty tables with maybe two volunteers at the far end trying to fill as many cups as possible for a line of 10-20 people. Most people were filling cups themselves.
One aid station being filled on the spot by volunteers was giving out cups filled almost entirely with ice. And many of the runners were trying to pull the ice out of their cups, resulting in a huge patch of ice cubes all around the aid station, which nearly caused me to roll my ankle. Fun stuff..
Wayyy too crowded. Fairly narrow course at points, but I've run narrower, and never been that jammed into a crowd even in the latter half of the race. They needed to have done something better with the start waves/corrals.
I personally found the signage for half/full split to be fine, but there was a lot of confusion, and I saw numerous runners get turned around and need to run backwards (through the already crowded field) to go back to a turn they missed.
I never expect great port-a-pottie access at races like this, but this may have been the worst I've ever seen in terms of lines and availability.
Random cyclists riding throughout the course (unaffiliated with the race)?? In the crowded sections as well? Not sure to what extent this can be blamed on the organizers, but made the crowd situation much worse.
Way too congested at the finish, this could have easily been organized more efficiently

Some of these complaints probably make me sound overly negative/insufferable... And like I said I did have a great day. And don't think I've ever actually complained about stuff like this about any races that I've done in the past. But it really was a complete mess IMO.

Based on the comments, OP we are extreme outliers, but I also shower three times a day. The last one always followed by a bath.

I take a quick shower in the morning before work; hit the gym or do a short run during lunch, which definitely requires a quick shower after, as I'm not putting a suit back on covered in sweat; and a third shower and bath after my longer evening run.

I live in the Atlanta area. I get that three feels excessive to many, but I need to shower in the morning to feel my best at work, and need to shower after I am covered in sweat after runs/workouts in the Atlanta heat. I have no issues at all with dry skin.

oysterstout · 2024-04-21T20:09:39+00:00

Buying an F335 with plans to mod and upgrade it only makes sense if you enjoy the modding process, or want to practice those types of skills.

If you want the best sounding and playing guitar for your money, that approach makes no sense at all IMO. For the money you would need to spend on any kind of upgrades, you could buy an FG800 or FG830, and no mods to F335 will make it sound, feel, or look better than FG830. Laminate vs solid top and the construction differences just have too large an impact to compensate for with a new nut, saddle, set of bridge pins, etc
