I'm currently the person in charge of handling data driven reporting publications and media requests. Without disclosing my niche job title, I'm essentially a senior data analyst which my company has put within our product teams since we are a data driven company that sells reporting solutions, etc. as a product. Our marketing team as well as our PR team is owned by our parent company but we have a dedicated liaison for each business unit. The marketing liaison is a true marketing generalist who has no ability to pull data for these publications, social media engagements, PR, etc. and also barely understands the contents of these metrics when they are pulled since they are intended for industry professionals.

My company wants to be putting more data into the industry and media circuits which I have the capacity to do but am running into a bottleneck with marketing since they deal with many other areas of my business unit than just mine. Additionally, there's so much more we could be doing from a social media standpoint and our marketing team doesn't seem to take any initiative which I don't necessarily blame them for. I know they're stretched thin but also, it can be hard to come up with content that you have no concept of yourself. I feel like these are things I could be doing or managing but will never be allowed to do because they're the marketing departments job.

I have essentially no experience at other companies to know how they handle this. Would a person with my job responsibilities usually sit under the marketing department? I know they're considering expanding my role to be a team lead with more people creating data driven content under me but I see that making the problem worse not better because of the marketing bottleneck. I'm considering pushing to move my position out of product and into marketing to possibly gain some autonomy with what I'm producing so that it's not all having to go through my liaison and he can focus on the other people in my business unit he works with but I'm not sure if that makes sense from both a functional sense as well as (selfishly) looking at job titles and strength of resume/career paths, etc. Overall, I'd really appreciate any insight as to how other companies structure and coordinate these types of positions.

Idk if it's new or not but it's new to me. Was super surprised how good it is. Probably the best margarita mixer I've ever tried.

Aside from Cheryl, I wouldn’t say any of the characters names are common in the US which made me wonder if they’re common names in New Zealand or if they’re intentionally quirky?

The bands been around for a long time and it seems like their sound has evolved over the years. Is there a time period that people consider the “real” NIN?

I’m slowly working my way through their discography because if I like a song, I’m fucking obsessed with it (like Sunspots for example) but then the majority of their other songs almost put me in a trance and I’m not actively listening to them so then I get to the end of an album and can’t remember whether it resonated with me.

I’m sure the hardcore fans listen to every second of every song and love every moment, but for me, I always like what I’m hearing but only have moments of “holy fuck.” I think the presence of some sort of vocals is a big factor for me. Is that common experience? Do “real” NIN fans have playlists of just vocalist songs or is that considered not being a real fan cause it’s only a part of their work?

I acknowledge that there’s no such thing as a real fan and people can listen however they want. But I’m specifically asking for the sort of stereotypical experience/perception here. Like, can we put ourselves back in the 90’s headspace of calling people posers and shit so I can better understand what really makes up NIN, the fans and the experience?

I’m watching the show for the first time and when I tell you I’m FLOORED by the full GoPro sequence. I’m literally giddy and in awe and have no one to talk about it with. Holy mother fuck that’s the coolest thing I’ve ever seen on TV. Jesus.

(No spoilers please.)

And that's why it looks like shit. I probably should have caught on sooner with Soldier Boy's kindergarten ashtray joke but I thought he was just insulting it in general and not Homelander's craftsmanship specifically. On my first rewatch it definitely struck me as odd cause obviously Vought has the resources to just make a new shield from scratch but I just figured it was symbolic or nostalgic.

That's SO fucking funny that the guy with enough control over his powers to heat milk in a plastic bottle without melting it couldn't manage to properly weld steel back together. I suppose it's also meant to be symbolic that his powers could be used to build but he's only ever been taught or practiced how to destroy.

I feel like there's only 2 options and both of them are "no." Either "no" he doesn't have one because his skin is too impervious for them to do it, or "no" because even if they maybe gave him one as a child or he lasered his own skin open so they could do it, his skin would be impervious enough that the chip signal couldn't get out. The only issue with that is that these arguments also apply to Translucent whose chip was shown to work.

I can't imagine someone like Homelander feeling ok with Vought knowing everywhere he's going nor do I think he would go to places he feels are special like the cabin if he knew Vought would be able to find their location through his chip. So I think his actions also support the idea that he's not chipped. Also, his hearing is so good he could probably hear the signal from the chip so I don't think it's possible that he's chipped and doesn't know it.

Finally, of course Vought would want him to be chipped ideally but I think up until the point where the show starts, Homelander is so under control with all his psychological manipulation that they probably feel somewhat confident in him not having one.

Homelander goes from Maeve to Stormfront to Starlight within the few years of the show and both Stormfront and Starlight seem to be only a few months before Stormfront is outed and Starlight goes rogue. Not only that, but in between there, Starlight is accused of being a mole which Homelander has to take back. I just think it's funny to think about seeing all of those 180's from an in-world perspective and having all the dude-bro's thinking it makes him such an alpha male while everyone else is probably wondering wtf is wrong with him.

Anything goes for me but I’d prefer a long fic if any exist. 🙏🏼

I'm sure that the answer will be that daily flossing and brushing is best but I just can't seem to manage that no matter how hard I try. It's been a problem all my life and I probably inherited it from my mom cause she also rarely remembers/gets up the motivation to brush. On the flip side, I have no problem making and keeping my hygienist appointments. I'm not someone who will call and cancel if I don't feel like it. So I was wondering, costs/insurance aside, is there some sort of a regular hygienist cadence that would be realistic that would help preserve my dental hygiene? Every 6 month like I'm doing now is definitely too far apart, I'm wondering if monthly would be too frequent. Maybe quarterly would be a happy medium? Do you guys have patients like this? I assume that, so long as it's being paid for you'd schedule a cleaning for someone every day if they asked?

So I think I have everything installed and configured correctly between ZimaOS, my phone, Jellyfin, etc to be able to access Jellyfin remotely. I added a new server to the Jellyfin app using the Tailscale IP address and the Jellyfin port and everything works fine. I'm not on my wifi and I can access my Jellyfin library, watch shows, etc. It seems much slower so I would like to keep both servers on the app so that I can use the local server at home and just switch to the Tailscale server when I'm away. There's nothing really stopping me from doing this but the servers look almost identical in the app except for the IP address and so I could see myself forgetting which is which. To solve this issue I figured I'd just use the DNS address since it would show up in the app as that instead of the IP address however when I copy in the DNS address just like I did the IP address from the Tailscale admin page and add the port after (using a colon instead of a slash), it cannot connect to server. I'm really not very technical so this has totally stumped me. Shouldn't they both be doing the exact same thing? They're copied from the same dropdown menu. I can paste the route DNS into a browser (with no http or https even though i enabled https) and it works but when I add the port it stops working.

Like your own personal IMDB or Letterboxd?

I want one case that holds my interchangeable set, Tunisian crochet set, full set of crochet hooks, circular sock needles, DPN sock needles and the handful of other misc jumbo needle sizer I have plus notions, all in one place. I know it sounds like a lot but I don’t think it’s too crazy because a lot of sets have spaces for both 4” and 5” needles so the 5” slot could fit crochet hooks. I really want needles and hooks stored individually and not together in a zipper pouch.

I really like the idea of the leather Knitpicks binder but I don’t have $500 to spend on organization once you buy the binder and all the pages I need. Does anyone else have a “store everything together in one place” philosophy and has found a good solution?

If you've ever looked in those bins, you know that people just treat them like regular garbage cans. Everything is disgusting in them and definitely getting thrown away. On top of that, is there even any sort of collection infrastructure for them? Does someone drive around to all the stores and gather the 04 plastic or is it up to each store to bale it up and ship it off somewhere? I just cannot imagine anything is actually happening to that plastic.

Is there somewhere we can take them directly to bypass the stores and ensure it has a higher chance of being recycled? I know I cannot take it with my regular recycling to the transfer station. I have several roll packed mattresses worth of plastic and I feel bad just throwing it away.

I just love how it's almost stringy. I'm sure that that descriptor is unappealing but truely I've never had tofu with that mouthfeel before. Unfortunately the sauce is too spicy for me so I never get to have it but if I could buy that kind of tofu alone somewhere, that would be amazing.
