How To Make 5k Quickly

[Firman Lamarre]

Likemany young leaders, early in my career, I thought a great decision was one that attracted widespread approval. When my colleagues smiled and nodded their collective heads, it reinforced (in my mind, at least) that I was an excellent decision maker.

Starting a couple of weeks ago, I suddenly lost the ability to access the Dropbox desktop app "Quick Actions". I used to be able to select a file within the Dropbox app, right-click the asset(s) and have a variety of options made available. For example, here are some screen captures:

However, I am able to do a workaround and drag the file(s) to my actual desktop, thus forcing the sync. Then when I'm finished with the asset, I put it back into the Dropbox app and use the Dropbox icon available on the taskbar at the top of my screen to "manage hard drive space" and make the assets "online only" again.

Thanks for getting back to me! Here is a screencap of the Dropbox app in my menu bar as it appears at the top of my screen. I had to black out the file names as I work with a company's assets and want to keep the file names private:

Here is a screencap of a folder on the Dropbox containing files that I'm normally able to sync to my machine - you will see there are no icons indicating the cloud status or the green check. Right clicking any of these just gives me normal Mac "Quick Actions" no official Dropbox options. I also had to black out some information here as well to keep the properties private. All of the folders within this Dropbox are behaving the same way.

Did this post not resolve your issue? If so please give us some more information so we can try and help - please remember we cannot see over your shoulder so be as descriptive as possible!

Same, reinstall didnt work. Also signed out and back into my account, this has made the problem worse and now non of my files are syncing on my computer, they are all online only even though ive selected certain folders to sync and i cant seem to get them to be available offline!

My work around for this has been to literally drag the files themselves directly from the Dropbox app to my desktop - this forces the files to "sync" to my computer and from there I can review the files, rename, etc.

When I draw a line to close the perimeter and the face is automatically generated, but al the studs are visible through the face. I know that I can build out from the wall to resolve, but is there a quicker way as I have a large number of walls and angles which would make it a very large task.

I have also considered drawing a 1" line out from each corner on in order to create the raised surface. This is a solution, but hoping for a simpler one because I would still have a tremendous amount of work due to all of the angled surface on the roofline, etc.

Box, for future reference, I will use this method, but suppose I have a stud wall that runs up to a rafter that is on a pitch. Is there a best practice for trimming each stud at the top where it meets the rafter? Would I use the subtract tool if all objects are solid?

To save back peddling:

If you spend some time at The Learning Center, you will learn how to use the tools to get what you want. (interactive tutorials) Also, go to The SketchUp YouTube Channel and pay attention to the Square One series. Both are sponsored by the SketchUp Crew and well worth the time spent there.

Thank you all for the great insight and for helping me identify where I started out wrong and suggesting what I might do to resolve my issue in such a late stage. On the next model, I will now know better how to leverage components early on and where useful. Again, thanks to all the experience and resources you have provided.

Since this particular model is in such a late stage, I have determined that my quickest solution is to select ALL framing members in just a couple grabs, make it a group, then build faces outside of that group. This allows me to give the material some thickness without bleed-through. So far, it is working well and I am making each surface as a group or component, respectively.

My goal is to have a method of being able to obtain a cold beverage from the fountain, bottle, or can and be able to consume the beverage without the fizz or the gas once it hits my system within 20 minutes at most... of course doing so without greatly obscuring / fouling the taste of the beverage.

I despise carbonated beverages so I often flatten my drinks. In order to meet all your acceptance criteria (namely, portable and works for cans) the solution I suggest is simple. Carry around a plastic sports bottle... must be strong enough to handle pressure but have an easy to operate lid.

This process usually only takes a few minutes. With beverages in plastic bottles you can just use the bottle itself. With glass bottles (and clean hands) you can form a seal with your finger or thumb and do the same process. But for cans the easiest way would be a separate bottle.

Not certain about the practicality of this solution, but as a child I discovered that putting the chewed end of a stick of liquorice [the real stuff, made of 'wood'] into a fizzy drink would flatten it in seconds.

Adding surface area will help too. I've done this by inserting a teaspoon, but that's too slow. I haven't tried this, but maybe using a tea infuser (an egg-shaped strainer made to contain tea leaves) is better (more surface area): stir your drink with the (empty) tea infuser.

The sudden jolt will immediately drive the gas from the liquid. Start with a light tap so the soft drink will remain in the container without overflowing. Repeat, gradually increasing the force of the "taps." After a few knocks, the drink will be nearly flat.

Use a milk frother, 1-3 pumps. Just beware the liquid will increase in volume substantially initially but die down very quickly so use a bigger cup than you would think. My college student carries one with her to parties cause she hates carbonated drinks.

As soon as practical after you get your beverage home, loosen the cap to relieve the pressure. Let it go flat. It won't take long. Solubility of a gas is the inverse of the temperature. Store it at room temperature. Then, chill the flat beverage for consumption when desired.

Here's the thing: Carbonated drinks are stored in specially designed containers to preserve carbonization. This is not practical for your needs so you must reverse engineer (hack) the traditional design. (Besides, what's your rush?)

Maybe you hadn't noticed but a carbonated drink will go flat quite quickly unless great care is taken to preserve the drink under pressure. I find that if I don't consume the contents of a bottle, it will go flat even when stored tightly-sealed in the refrigerator.

Add salt. Upon adding salt, the beverage will fizz furiously. So make sure that the container is not full. I used to add little salt and it would reduce the gas in beverage. I know that adding too much salt -- to completely decarbonate -- will change the taste of beverage, but once try it by adding little amount of salt.

You may consider ultrasonic degassing, a technique used e.g., in chemistry to remove air from solvents. Get a ultrasound bath -- a small one as to clean a pair of glasses and jewellery already works fine -- and fill it with water. Place the open container into the bath's basket, and switch the device on. Beverages with plenty of polysaccharides (e.g., beer) tend to yield more foam, than just carbonated water, so keep the can/flask/glass containing your beverage large enough (example youtube video) while flatten the beverage.

The screen photo depicts a bath for the chemistry lab (used to accelerate e.g., reactions) and machine shops (e.g., to degrease carburators) with timer and heater of the bath. But for degassing a beverage of a pint or so, you do not need these extras; one to clean your pair of glasses or/and small jewellery may suffice. So the cost of suitable baths already starts around US$ 30.

A clean paper towel, loosely folded and pushed down like a big straw into the beverage, works by creating nucleation sites (like a Mentos does but not as insane). All you lose is what soaks into the paper towel.

These mental blindspots lead to disastrous consequences in our professional and personal lives. Fortunately, recent decision science scholarship has shown how simple yet effective strategies will enable you to recognize where you and/or others on your team are vulnerable to cognitive biases. You can also use research-based techniques to protect yourself from these dangerous judgment errors and make the wisest and most profitable decisions, whether in business, in relationships, and in other life areas.

These and many more everyday decisions can really hurt us if we make the wrong choices repeatedly and consistently. Since the essence of cognitive biases involves predictable and systematic errors, they lead to us making regular wrong choices in daily decisions.
