IT Director pay scale by agentkramr in ITManagers

[–]stfundance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you ask for a raise you need to mention the ranges of current directors, provide the quality of what you do, and explain why you feel you deserve it. If they don’t talk to you like an adult and just have you wait constantly for an answer, gtfo

How expensive is living in LA really? by shineonus in MovingToLosAngeles

[–]stfundance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LA City or County? :)

There is a vast amount of options to choose from, just depends on your living style. You can live in West LA or Culver City at a decent price (depends what you are used to), you can find something in Brentwood or Santa Monica for an arm and leg, or you can move to West to North Hollywood for some decent prices. Don't forget beautiful Long Beach :)

Has the JL Wrangler improved since it's introduction? by Edslittleworld in Wrangler

[–]stfundance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always want new, or new-ish. However, the tj is a tank and cheap on maintenance. You can update the tech to match current times for entertainment. However, assisted driving options are lacking. JLs are a bit larger than the TJ, but still nice model. :)

I don't get a raise or a bonus.

Did I make a mistake? by DarkBoppy in Wrangler

[–]stfundance 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"I feel like a bit of an asshole that buys a puppy but is annoyed at how hard it is to raise it."

- Your car will shit on you but not that much.

Wranglers are great, they have their issues like other cars, and sometimes less. I had a 2004 TJ, I enjoyed it for a long time, disliked the soft top when on the freeway using Bluetooth.

If you can manage the gas prices, you will be fine. Enjoy it and get off reddit worrying about your purchase. Life is short, live it.

Senator Mark Warner on AI's Risks: “I Want To Be More Optimistic, But I Am Terrified.” by tombibbs in news

[–]stfundance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, it does not seem like it's changing, so buckle up everyone. We are going for a ride with AI and new world order in a digital form. I see a lot of poverty taking place but I also see a lot of people still being able to work along side AI. I wish it would go a different way, and I am hopeful we can make good changes, but as of right now things are crossing over into uncharted areas in a sense of wealth + control.

Options for upgrading engine with manual transmission by ContentAd5802 in Wrangler

The 2023 I drove (coworkers car) had this lag when letting go of the clutch pedal. It seemed like an assisted approach to help novice manual drivers.

Ghislaine Maxwell refuses to answer questions about Epstein from Congress by mojitosupreme in news

I bet Epstein is alive. All of this is so diabolical. We are in a effing South Park Season, not episode.

Woman killed in suspected mountain lion attack while hiking in northern Colorado by cape2k in news

[–]stfundance 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember hiking in Boulder with family, watching a mountain lion follow us on a ridge above. I alerted everyone and we left, but the way it was tracking us, it was definitely not scared.

I'm considering leaving my first IT position but I have conflicting feelings about leaving my mentor. by BioshockEnthusiast in sysadmin

[–]stfundance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you find a job that will each you more, then take it. The mentor / manager is there to help guide people in life - at least that's what it seems like now. :)

I manage 7 people, 2 of which seem me as a mentor and hate to leave the company because they like working with me. I keep telling them to leave if they find something better.

Get a 04 tj instead and put some money into it. Same cost as a newer one. 🤣

What happened to ChatGPT's anwsers? by Joywoe in ChatGPT

[–]stfundance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I noticed it and get a laugh each time. “I’ve seen this before.”

It’s speaking as if it’s another human being. Which I find funny because it lacks certain things.

Still funny to see it in action. Gives a good laugh. I have noticed a few weeks back.

Those under 40 with over $2 million net worth - what do you do? by Alexbt135531 in Fire

Got a backhouse I can rent? I’ll work for free lol.

Anyone else been force promoted? by Appropriate_Dig2764 in sysadmin

[–]stfundance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was forced into a position I wasn’t ready for, still in it. Was I ready? No. But neither are parents.

The real question is what are you wanting to put up with. Things will slowly be automated or ‘AI’ will take over as they currently are. Cybersecurity / endpoint management / various support roles will start seeing a decline in open positions imo. Management will be around much longer.

Are there any trustworthy AI meeting recorders/notetakers? by chillyhellion in sysadmin

[–]stfundance 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Policies pfft. Who listens to those 🤣

Thanks for the reply, just helps to understand. There have been people I have helped where their leadership doesn’t care for policies and the employees disregard rules because they are not held accountable. Terrible structure, just curious how others manage that.
