I largely analyze data and create software to automate business tasks. This allows people in my company to make informed decisions about the business, how money is or should be spent, who & where to hire, helping non-techical people automate repetitive tasks. I also present/interpret data and influence decision-making.

This might mean creating forecasts. Automating data analysis with reports. Building data sources (gathering and manipulating data from different places and compiling it). Building interactive software or excel sheets for non-technical users. Creating white papers or presentations on analysis I've done. Etc.

I use excel, google sheets, google app script (basically javascript), tableau, python, and SQL.

The existence of publishers for scientific literature is completely unnecessary in the modern era. They exist only to make profits to continue their existence. They don't actually provide value anymore when research institutions can just conduct peer review and then let researchers self-publish.

They create negative value (a bottleneck) by limiting who can access research for just... aggregating and hosting articles.

If I wasn't so sure Trump actually thinks the tariffs are great and popular, I'd say he's trying to sabotage Vance's presidential aspirations in the event Trump can't hold office. That'd be pretty smart.

It was just a joke. But deleted since it was in bad taste.

Some of the early episodes really show their age. It's definitely still worth watching in 2025, but it is an old show at this point.

Wait you mean Tow Glhvartz didn't write it? Next you're going to tell me it isn't "Domale's inside look at his lime of fomim sun thant the om curayer"

You're going to be way overdressed pretty much everywhere. Imo a big part of dressing well is dressing for the occasion. Standing out it a good way is fine, but looking out of place is not usually a good look.

Idaho is surprisingly really pretty though, that's the one stand-out thing about it imo, otherwise pretty mid.

I'd have to be basic and say Ohio. It isn't ugly, but it isn't pretty. The weather is average. Schools/universities are pretty average. Economy is pretty average. Politics are average. There is nothing really special or noteworthy about Ohio. They do tons of market research in Ohio because of how average it is for the US.

I agree about windows maintenance. Mint has been easier and more stable than windows for me. The biggest hurdles were getting it set up - partitioning, mounting drives, etc. In windows that just happens.

But, actual day-to-day operation? Much easier in Mint.

I want a NAS solution to back up my PC and host media files, but prebuilt NAS solutions are incredibly expensive and underwhelming and so I'm planning to build one. Does anyone have recommendations for a NAS interface?

I'm brand new to server management and would prefer something user friendly. I have used linux mint, but currently use windows as my daily driver (planning to switch to mint soon). I'd be fine with a dedicated NAS OS or with something I could run on mint since I'm already familiar with that distro.

 

Pretty much the title. I've been training for 5 months, injured for 4 weeks in there - just came off of a 2wk recovery from a knee injury. I'm relatively young, 6ft 175lbs, in pretty decent shape.

But I overexert myself to the point of vomiting nearly every class. It's frustrating and embarassing.

I've started doing more cardio and have improved a lot in that regard, but it doesn't seem to help at all on the mats. Do I just need to do more cardio? Is there something nutrition-wise that could help? Open to any and all suggestions.

Edit: Thanks everyone for the advice. I will try 1) not try so hard and ask partners to help me with that, 2) advice to talk to my doctor - I have in the past and he wasn't much help - but it got me to do some research... some medication I'm on can cause hyponatremia, which can cause nausea and vomiting especially after exercise... so I'm going to try a saline solution before/during class and may report back if it works.

Edit 2: took a 3% hypertonic salt solution to class today and it seems to have worked. I asked a higher belt to really push me in a difficult roll after class to test it. Not certain yet, but seems to have fixed the vomiting
