Re: Watercooler Talk
I just read the article @matt posted on his blog: https://dezignstuff.com/is-a-data-addic ... ly-useful/. I agree that quite a bit of the information and data being gathered isn't used to anyone's advantage, or just leads people to make the wrong decisions. For one example, when listening to Pandora I occasionally get ads in Spanish. I don't speak Spanish, but I have a Johnny Rodriguez station, and have done the thumbs up on a few Freddy Fender songs. I assume some algorithm somewhere says "if he likes Johnny Rodriguez and Freddy Fender he probably speaks Spanish".

Without dwelving too deep into the subject, data collection is something we rely upon around here a lot in order to determine a GO/NO-GO decision. As Matt adresses in his article, you can collect all sort of data, some are useful, some are useless, some cause confusion, some do not pertain to specific subjects, etc.. What's important, is defining what you have, what you need and what you expect, and then extrapoling whatever correlative data that comes out of these and make it as least subjective as possible. Keeping things simple is not always easy.
Which, somewhat reminds me of an old meme

Re: Watercooler Talk
There is never too much data.
There is always not enough.
How many times you measure something you need to model and don't have enough dimension?
Never measure just enough. Always get a few more so you can double check other measurements.
3 points make a circle but 30 points make a more accurate circle.

Turns out it hit where my Dad lives pretty hard. Luckily the house is up is on a hill and hasn't flooded since we moved there in 1980. Though he says that this was worse than the 95 flood, I'm not sure if it was worse than the 83 or 84 flood that I remember (that's where they set all the elevations for flood insurance where everyone was SOL 8/16)...Of course there's all the development to consider and it's hard to tell anything over time because we keep blocking pathways off of the water...But the important takeaway that I liked to point out in the old forum is that we should always PANIC! PANIC! PANIC!...

Re: Watercooler Talk
Hello all! A couple of you have messaged me over the last month or so asking about why I am not on the forum so much (thank you for checking in!!), so I figured I would post here explaining:
My life has changed significantly in the last year, which has kept me away for a bit.
My wife divorced me and it was final last July, and I fought for, and received 50% custody of our 3 children. So, 50% of the time, I am a single dad now. So, I made a deal with my boss that I could work short hours the weeks I have the kids, and make up the hours on the weeks I don't have the kids. This has left very little time for the forums. I try to jump on when I can, but it is isn't like it used to be.
Anyway, I am doing ok, and life is slowly getting back to whatever "normal" is supposed to be.
So, TL/DR: My priorities have changed....

Re: Watercooler Talk
I didn't like the post because I thought it kind of sucked that you got divorced, but I'm glad to hear that you got 50% custody. The schedule will settle down in place eventually and you will figure out a way to fit things accordingly, wish you the best Dan!dpihlaja wrote: ↑Tue Jun 22, 2021 8:21 am Hello all!

Just came back from a 4 day weekend where I went to pick up my brother in Montreal so he could come visit our parents and family. The rest of the weekend was rather casual, as I'm still having pains from my 3 displaced vertebraes. Things are slowly coming back though, so that's the good news on that!
Hope everyone has a great week.

I once joined a friend's very large family for their thanksgiving (holiday) dinner. Most of the older men were bald, and I was mostly bald back in my 30's. I value their wizened perspective.

I could talk about this article, but I should have spoken the whole thing because every word was true.
Nowadays, because people prefer to be desired rather than themselves, what they type and click is only for their desires.
The right people have always been few in number, less today and less tomorrow.
Knowledge (merit); is what I lost. I'll take it no matter who has it or wherever it is.

I got in some serious trouble with that one, but I guess I carried it away a bit more...
My message was....
"Hello, hello, HELLO, this stupid phone, hello, can you hear me?, hello and then the phone did the Beeeep."
Where I got in trouble was with 3 of my sister-in-laws and... My Wife - The one was trying to make plans for getting together for a day and it ended up that they all wanted to call my wife, they thought it was me on the phone and actually hung up before the beep, so the plans were thwarted for that day, but later my wife called one of her sisters and then they asked, "what's wrong with your phone", lesson learned, don't interfere with the plans of 4 ladies, for sure. Yeah I had to remove it with an official "Cease And Desist Order"

July 4th Weekend is our "Black Friday" - we basically smashed the Martin's Roast A Pig's all time record, in orders. Our 22 orders bested 18 from about 5 years ago, we actually had a total of 24 pigs go through our facility last week. I needed to clean grills so we could send them right back out.

Re: Watercooler Talk
I'm a little excited to share with you guys a little video of a new innovation a few of my co-workers have developped.
It's a trailer made to carry crushed cars. Truck drivers always had long time injuries from the endless strapping and unstrapping, swinging of the strap across and back. This adresses so many needs, you can hear the excitement in our client's voice upon demonstrating the trailer. There's even competitors of our client that took flights from across the country to come and see the trailer with their own eyes!
It's always fun to hear these types of comments.

As far as I understand, his friends' method is healthier and more aesthetic.

For the most part, it is generally something similar to this(This is our old model on the picture, but competitors for the most part did something very similar)Ömür Tokman wrote: ↑Sat Jul 10, 2021 7:34 am I was wondering what kind of application it normally carries and I came across something like this.

There's a side with a netting that you can open, but with this, it requires the driver to strap his entire load, do the strap swinging and all. People would end up getting long-term injuries. With the new model, the trailer straps itself as it closes. You just need to strap the "pac-man" door down.

Is this tongue-in-cheek?
I'm scared to post in it because I'm afraid @matt hooked it up to an auto-account-nuker.

Re: Watercooler Talk
Well, a little bit, but it's maybe cynically honest is the way I look at it. That's exactly what students come to professional forums for, so why not just call it like it is?? It's not bait.

Re: Watercooler Talk
There were some at the old forum that genuinely wanted help learning, but sadly they were in the minority . . . or maybe the ones that did want help were just more memorable. I don't think I'll ever forget the one who asked for help designing a phone holder for a car, and said after getting the initial design from someone he'd improve on it.
