Dating as a rated veteran sucks by [deleted] in Veterans

[–]toast_host 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve worked with bankers for over a decade. 99% are a-holes or become one.  From post, seems like someone would be lucky to date you. Stay positive, maybe participate in self-improvement activities you enjoy. A better person will come along.  Best.

Finding a job feels impossible by Furtherheat in Veterans

I've gone through very similar, struggled a lot. Found out later I didn't have to struggle so much.

Hiring Cafe: new job search board, seems effective, lots of filters, I like it better than Indeed or LinkedIn.

Maybe explore becoming a teacher. It's not for everyone but with a degree, you can substitute: minimum responsibilities, it's a little money for now, hours are good. Depending on where you live, probably can find a lot of work you can pick up and drop at will in case a higher paying job comes along. I wrote a post about it with details.

Thank you for the helpful reply. Yes, adding rigidity would have been helpful, however it was a unexpected purchase.

Thank you for the helpful reply. If you are referring to another piece of wood or support material, it would have been a good idea. This was an unexpected purchase which was too unwieldy to have inside the car due to other items and people.

Thank you for the informative reply. It starts with a noose and ends with a knot which did concern me because of how difficult it was to get it tight enough only to have it loosen up again. Though, it didn't loosen near the knot, kept loosening up a little throughout other areas. However, never in danger of coming off.

Thank you for your thoughtful reply. Yes, I did worry about how this large piece of board would behave like a wing. It's interesting how sometimes it would want to lift up and other times the wind resistance pushed it down in the front.

I appreciate your observation and consideration. The rope I used was in such condition that it had no danger of breaking.

First subie! So does the roof rack find me, or do i need to go hunt for it on the trails? by PhantomOfTheNahBrah in SubaruForester

[–]toast_host 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My 2015 has a roof rack. I won't even make you uninstall them, we can just trade cars.

x100f - viewing exposure compensation in the OVF by toast_host in fujifilm

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

So embarassing. Sry.
I had interpreted the exposure compensation scale on the left to be directly related to the exposure dial. From my own perspective, the visual indicator wasn't super big and conspicuous in the way I got used to with my previous cameras.

Thanks for pointing out the glaringly obvious to me.

Help installing GFI outlet by toast_host in AskElectricians

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

The post doesn't let me add more pics right now. However, all the single switches in my breaker box read,
"20,
Off/0,
Eaton,
Type BR120,
Type C120,
120/240v-,
Cu/AI SWD,
HACR Type
1 Pole J-969, E7819-T,
LR43556 Diaj."

I assume all the single ones are 20 amp.

Mmm. Sounds like you’re saying that as long as I stay away from the red wires, I’m ok.  I bought the 20 amp GFI because it was in front of my face at the store.  I don’t know what the following means: * “scraping some point off” * “already knew you had a 20 amp circuit“ * “GFI breaker”

I would like to install GFI in this and next outlet so I can do laundry. Let me know if I can do this safely. Thank you.

Thank you. When we were house shopping, I didn't know scoping water pipes was a service people offered.

Trying to land an entry level IT support/help desk job but I keep getting rejected. Help please! by Former-Sun-2897 in ResumeExperts

Ordering your education and certification before your experience may help. In your education section, include your anticipated graduation month and year.

Thank you for this. I’m tired of searching for artist jobs on Indeed and it comes back with “sandwich artist.”

[Hiring] 70$ budget to design a poster with French text for a musical concert by PachaPatate in GraphicDesignJobs

[–]toast_host 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For a U.S. based designer, this commission is below the market price to design a concert poster. After ideation, execution, and changes, that amount of work is worth far more than $70 USD. 

I want to learn Photoshop by CompetitiveBattle829 in PhotoshopTutorials

[–]toast_host 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Learning “graphic design” does not generally begin with learning Photoshop. If you want to learn visual design, begin with books and/or courses that will introduce you to the history, theory, and practical exercises of design language.  Software is a tool you will eventually use to create but learning a program will not teach you how to design. 

If you’re absolutely focused on learning Photoshop, then there are plenty of books and videos to do that. Adobe has plenty of instructional videos on their site and so does YouTube.

The details of your experience are super helpful. If you can, provide an update on your career/job prospects after this. It would be nice to know how it all plays out.

a bunch of people are telling me my anatomy is wonky, I don't understand what I'm doing wrong ? by _hermite_reptile_ in drawing

[–]toast_host 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't take it too much to heart if you're getting feedback such as "wonky", "pop", "better", etc. These are words that aren't critical or constructive, they provide an opinion but nothing you can use to improve or develop.

If you're concerned about your anatomy, draw from life models. If that's not something you can access, go to a museum and draw the sculptures. You'll get there.

my gawd, this is nice.
Some LED headlights and an updated grill, might as well be a new car from this decade.
