  1. Wow this thread popped out some serious CR.

    Back on point… yes I am LTC and used to carry every time I left the house. Lazily, I do it more-so based on probability and impact (who is with me) as of late.

    At all times I do carry something - a knife, pepper spray, or a my EDC CC. If I’m going to be in an area statistically higher likelihood for something bad (eg downtown), I will carry and take pepper spray. If I have reason to believe PS will be enough, I’d rather use that. If Im going jogging or walking, I will carry pepper spray, mostly for dogs.

    For all the gun haters here, just know that’s it’s a fucking pain to carry. It’s uncomfortable, you have to pay attention to the laws (where you can’t carry or posses) and be cognizant of where you may end up and if there is a chance alcohol my be involved, etc. Then you are also putting your ass on the line, if you do have to shoot someone. You will have serious legal problems even if your 100% in the right. You could also be mistaken for an aggressor and get your ass shot as well. In addition to the expenses of ammo, range time to stay proficient, you spend $200-$300 in carry insurance.

    At the end of the day, seconds matter and cops are always minutes away. Police response has gotten worse on top of that. It’s a burden to carry but I will defend human life if necessary, ironically even those who are anti gun.

  2. This helped my PF.  I used Dr. Scholes heel inserts as well.

    This, stretch your calves and to a lesser extent your hammies.

    If you have flat feet or high arches consider getting orthotics or special inserts like Super Feet. If you’re not sure if you’re flat footed , a litmus test is your Achilles. While standing barefooted, it should be straight and not deviated to either side.

    I fought it for years and it ended up being my calves that drove the PF.
  3. How long it soaks is based on a spring valve on the bottom of the cone, which is opened by the little bulb shaped area on top of the coffee pot lid.  Are you using that metal filter that came with it?  If so, switch to paper.  Otherwise, I don't know.  I've had coffee from a Mr. Coffee and from my 21 year old Cuisinart.  I prefer the Cuisinart because I'm familiar with it and it's my home, filtered water.  But I haven't done a side-by-side comparison to be able to tell whether the drip is better in one versus the other.

    Looks like flat-bottom setups have a shorter extraction time and tend to be less flavorful when you use the same amount of coffee grounds.

    Yeah I tried the paper filter…, never been a fan of the mesh.
  4. I got that Cusinart carafe coffee maker and couldn’t get a full flavor brew like my old ass Mr Coffee. The only thing I could think of was that the cone doesn’t give it enough time to soak.

    Does basket shape matter come VS flat? Given this is $150 maybe I got a defective one? I’m not opposed to the price of the Mocca Master but the lack of an auto brew feature would suck.

    What else?

  5. Yup.   I've been doing that (applying to Ops ones) as well.   I have a phone screen to schedule this week for something that looks interesting but not is probably not going pay what I want.  But the interview experience will be worth it.  
    And who knows, right?
     

    You’re right. Who knows.

    The job market is very odd. We have remaining affects of the great resignation and yet we are in the early stages of a recession. Depending on the health of the company and how long and badly they’ve needed this role, they could be hungry to fill it.
  6. Couple of other questions...
    1.  If the job is listed on some place like LinkedIn or The Ladders what's the opinion on applying there vs. going to the company website and applying.
    2.  If the app site only has a place to upload your resume should I include the cover letter as part of the upload by combining the two or just shoot off the resume. 
    It's been 10+ years since I applied for a job outside my company.  Every job I've applied for in those 10 years internally, I've known the hiring director or VP.
     

    Sorry to hear. I know you’ve been with them for a while.

    #1 My recommendation is to apply to all of them. It’s hard to say how recruiters are divided. You may have one for the entire job class or it could be divided. I’ve seen some horrible things in recruiting and hope they gotten better as a result of the Great Resignation. Spray and Pray.


    #2 just follow directions on the site. If it just says resume, then only resume.

    The other thing is to apply for Ops jobs as well. I know you’d rather stay in LD but it’s not bad to cast a wider net in case. It will also help with interview reps and possibly with negotiations if you get Ops offers too. Like others have said, you should be networking and letting people know you’re looking.


    Good luck.

  7. 3. What else should I know?


    You need to seriously learn about/hire web app security…. It’s seriously gotten out of hand.

    If you go Wordpress hosted, pay for wordfence. Regardless of hosting, have them do the patching and maintenance. Ensure they are doing all three:
    - static code scans
    - secure composition analysis
    - dynamic scans
    Put in the contract to patch all zero days within 12 hours and all criticals within 48.

    Have then do a 3rd party pen test.

    Security is a pain in the ass and it’s expensive but shit has seriously gotten out of hand.
