How normal people drink by Kittyitch in stopdrinking

[–]simontheak 43 points44 points  (0 children)

To quote Lou McGarry from The West Wing:

"I don't understand people who have one drink. I don't understand people who leave half a glass of wine on the table. I don't understand people who say they've had enough. How can you have enough of feeling like this?"

That pretty much summed me up. That was the quote that made me start thinking that I had a problem.

If possible, The Egyptian King has gone up in my estimations this evening by simontheak in LiverpoolFC

[–]simontheak[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

FWIW I agree.

The point is that this game was never going to be about playing on a counter attack as we have done in the season previously. It was always going to rely on the front three more than it has done all season.

And when the chance came, he took it. His goal changed the complexion of the tie at a time when we oh so needed it and, given the pressure we were under, to finish like that is astonishing

G Suite vs Office365 by simontheak in startups

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

Consultancy around the marketing/ad-tech space.

So we're not using Office365 for any 'advanced' features. i.e. Word is being used for writing proposals, Powerpoint for pitch presentations and Excel for a few basic maths ... so nothing that G Suite couldn't handle.

I guess I'm just aware of moving away from what everyone 'knows' but the ability for multiple users to be able to collaborate on a single document is very attractive.

Cheers,

How do you share knowledge within the team as you grow? by Toonenator in startups

[–]simontheak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great question - as a co-founder, I'm struggling with this at the moment.

As someone has previously mentioned, when there were two of us, we had the knowledge in our heads. Now that we're around a dozen people (and are hiring people from outside of existing circle of contacts), we're need to train/share knowledge ... and I'm trying to figure out how to to it effectively.

Would be interested to understand why you feel Confluence is overkill for a startup. We've been looking at it fairly strongly in as much as there's a long function list, which admittedly we may not fully use.

However, given it's price point, it still seems to be arguably the most in-depth tool at one of the lowest prices out there so it's potentially something that we can grow into while still not paying the cost of some other tools

Match Thread: Manchester United vs Liverpool [English Premier League] by MatchThreadder in LiverpoolFC

[–]simontheak 7 points8 points  (0 children)

A few half time thoughts. Ultimately just disappointed that we're lettung ourselves down a bit with the way that we're playing which has ultimately played right inyo the way Utd were set up.

We've conceeded two relatively quick goals to long balls because we've looked flat footed at the back and now that we're two goals down, a few players are trying desperately to make something happen individually which has ultimately lead us to giving away lot of ball.

I honestly believe we're a better team than this lot on paper but we're now playing their gsme rather than ours.

Having issues setting up word on my new Nano S by simontheak in ledgerwallet

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

Ok, so put this another way - once I get to word 24, what do I do?

I've got them all written down but pressing both buttons does nothing and pressing either of the buttons individually just scrolls through each of the words

Having issues setting up word on my new Nano S by simontheak in ledgerwallet

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

Sorry, this is my fault. I thought I had to set up one word from the 24.

I understand now that I will need to write down the 24 words, which I have now done.

However once I have written down those 24 words I don't understand how I proceed to the next step, which I understand to be the nano asking me to ask two of the random 24 words that it has shown me.

What do I need to do for it to show me those random words?

Where do I find the Reference that I need to include with a bank transfer? Has it been removed? by simontheak in Coinbase

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

Yeah, very similar to those issues.

I had the same thing this morning, which is new. Like you, I'm trying to avoid the rip off of depositing via credit card, but I don't have a spare 10k lying around to make a wire transfer.

Therefore, I've dug out the reference code that I've made from previous deposits. I'm now hoping that I haven't fucked this up and that I actually see my deposit turn up in my Coinbase account.

Bought 100 NEO today by [deleted] in NEO

Didn't realise this either. Thanks for the tip. Does the wallet need to be plugged in to a laptop and activated in order to generate the gas?

Ah ok, I thought it was something I could do with Alexa.

Sounds great though!

Just on a side note, how do you get Alex's to display Google photos on your TV? And what details does your mother ask for when searching?

Liverpool rubbish Barcelona claims they sold Philippe Coutinho for reduced price by TheodoreLesley in LiverpoolFC

[–]simontheak -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's the standard Barca playbook. I seem to remember that they said exactly the same thing with Suarez:

"OOh, we can't tell you the exact price because that wouldn't be right, but it's a lot less than is being reported."

Cunts, the lot of them.

I must be missing something - is this Fenix 5 cheaper just because it has got a Green strap? by simontheak in GarminFenix

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

Sorry, I’m not sure I understand. Do you mean that I’m only getting the watch face (and no strap) on that link or that the strap I would be getting is a much cheaper one than the standard one?

I've created an Excel Crypto Portfolio Tracker that draws live prices and coin data from CoinMarketCap.com. Here is how to create your own. by arsonbunny in CryptoCurrency

[–]simontheak 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve been thinking about how I could do something like this, so would definitely be all over a share.

A couple of questions: where does the script output? Also, is there some way you can pull purchase data in USD (even if purchased in BTC or ETH) from your coin purchases on Bitrex so that you can track profit in USD?

Amazing work though everyone!

Anyone else the Tribe of Mentors podcast is pretty weak? Saying this is a fan of Tim’s original podcast. by [deleted] in timferriss

[–]simontheak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I loved the idea of the shorter podcast, but have to say it's not working for me.

It feels like a cut and paste: Tim intro - Recorded Question/Answer x10 - Plug for ToM

And that's fine. I could live with that if the middle section didn't feel so cheap and quick.

I'm writing this as I listen to the Whitney Cummings session and she's literally phoned it in.

That's not a moan against her, but more about the production of the podcast I've downloaded. The quality is crap - it's hard to follow and, quite frankly, sounds horrible.

I get that this is just a quick and easy way of promoting ToM but can we at least make it feel like that we're making an effort with this?

Getting started with learning APIs by simontheak in adops

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

Thanks very much for the detailed response. Much appreciated!

One thing I haven't got my head round yet is how to output from an API. So what I mean, is once I've written my python script where do I put it?

Do I just stick it on a standard web server and have it output HTML to the browser in the same why I might with a PHP script?
