Nah.

The base thickness of the material is the same, it’s just pleated deeper. Same capture efficiency. Less resistance to airflow.

Oh ok i see. They have the same amount of fiber as smaller ones but just spread out? So they're for high flow rate situations

As somebody making some efforts to switch industries right now… it seems like recruiters aren’t yet willing to widen their net yet and probably can’t find anyone because they won’t interview candidates for mid and senior level roles that don’t check all of their boxes.

recruiter here: for those mid and senior level roles, my role in the hiring process is to get people and screen the obviously unqualified from the discussion i have with the hiring manager, then i go get them a pool of people that they interview and hire from.

for entry level positions (ie. the ones i have direct hiring capability over), a lot of my success vs my peers definitely hinges on the fact that i give people that don't check all the boxes constantly. however, for those mid & senior roles, it's absolutely management thinking we're still hiring in tyool 2014

So software QA has come up a couple of times ITT as a potential easy inroad for office work, and I know I'm genuinely curious about it as a possibility.

Would anyone be willing to post a brief 'here's the minimum you'd need on a resume to at least start making it to interviews' sort of thing? In terms of skillset and certifications and program familiarity, and I guess maybe any related experience that would get you over the 'must have 10 years in this exact role' hump?

i dont do qa but i do do software development and what i know of qa is mostly you have to do a lot of boring stuff with spreadsheets and test software and check to see if the changes assholes like me made broke anything. while you can certainly get better and more efficient at it, and developing light to moderate development skills of your own will get you places, entry level qa CAN be, depending on the place, a very "do you know what excel is" affair

this is anecdotal, but:

i've been dealing with (maybe post-covid) brain fog for a couple years now. i might have had covid in late 2019, definitely had it in december of 2020.

my cognition improved when i built a corsi cube and run it when i'm home. mine is on a smart plug that's programmed to turn on ~30 minutes before i get home and off ~30 minutes after i leave.

i'm not saying that everyone with long/post covid just needs to improve their indoor air quality to get well, but it wouldn't hurt anything to rule out other contributing factors.

build yourself a cube or stick a merv 14 on a box fan!

yeah I'm planning to go to Lowe's this afternoon and finally pull the trigger. I've been wanting another air purifier for my house and I think I'm just gonna build a fuckoff-huge Corsi

I view him kinda the way I view Chris Hayes for network news - the most correct that anyone is allowed to be and still have a mainstream voice which means they are gonna say some good stuff but also some really stupid stuff and you just kinda have to take what you can get. He's a good benchmark to know where the doomer edge of the overton window currently resides.

work with recruiters if you have any in your area, they'll get you probably a terrible job but once you're proven you'll never want for job offers again
stick with it for a year to 18 months and then jump ship to a better company for a 20-50% raise
do the same at the next one and then find a landing spot that requires the least work

Serious story, I worked in utility construction doing fiber splicing and other cable TV work from age 17 until the bottom fell out of that in 2002 when I was 21.

From there I worked a poo poo call center job until 2008

I left the call center job because I knew I was going to be there until I was sixty at that rate and went to a temp agency that got me a job at a labware/chemical distributor doing data entry stuff on a three month contract in 2008

I found ways to make myself useful until they gave me a job for $12/hr doing jack-of-all-trades computer poo poo like Excel data transformation and other dumb stuff, and I took advantage of access to their database stuff and other systems to teach myself SQL, PL/SQL, and a piece of BI software called Cognos.

I stuck a resume out in 2011 detailing my experience with PL/SQL, Cognos, and enterprise computer poo poo and the local Blue Cross Blue Shield affiliate had a need to replace a Cognos developer and contacted me, I lowballed and asked for $50K and they were cheap so they hired me and I've been working my way up in healthcare IT ever since.

I dropped out of high school when I was sixteen and didn't get a degree until 2015 when I got a two year tech school degree. I've just been insanely lucky and I was in the right place at the right time. I leave one keyword off that 2011 resume and my life is drastically different right now.
