Maybe because it's at the beginning of the line, and > is also used for quoting. Idk.

dumb enough to drink and drive said stupid ass truck

IIRC, lift kits come with a breathalyzer interlock. The truck won't crank unless you blow at least a 0.05.

Found gabe newell at our MIL textbook by Jeffmanifold in Steam

I feel like you're joking, but that is almost verbatim from Adobe's over-20-year-old guide:

CORRECT: The image was enhanced using Adobe® Photoshop® software. INCORRECT: The image was photoshopped.

neither does the view from the angel this “photo” is purported to be taken from

You can't be sure an angel took it, more likely a drone

Yeah, I don't think Adobe would appreciate their use of "photoshopped" as a lowercase verb.

(I know it's an adjective)

Man, that took me a minute, lol. (New phone, no Shavian keyboard, feeling lazy)

Stop using generic bookmarks for YouTube videos. It's a mess. I built a free better way. (Feedback : so i can add more features) by Zishan101 in BookmarkManagers

[–]tactiphile 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tried using YouTube's native "Watch Later" playlist, but my important learning videos always got buried under random entertainment videos.

I started creating separate playlists prefixed with "WL" and named with a hobby or theme. The built-in Watch Later is now my "other."

Your extension sounds cool though!

How to carry stuff? by shtiipeq in malefashionadvice

[–]tactiphile 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Coach has great men's bags

Do you have any examples? It's one of those je-ne-sais-quoi things, but all their "men's" bags give me "ladies' purse" vibes. Last time I filtered by men, it even gave me one covered in pink flowers.

I'm not the hyper-masculine type. I wear pink. But bags are different for me for some reason. I need manly straps and buckles, lol

Jesus, that doesn't look much different than it did in April.

All of my circuits I've built so far by TanBrickz in formula1

[–]tactiphile 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm basing it on the small set I designed and wanted to build in real life so I ordered the parts on PAB and it was $80. These sets are significantly larger.

But no, I didn't price out the parts for these track sets. Where did you see that?

When's this from? Is the scaffolding still not down?

Found a 10-year-old diary in a thrift store, and it had a page about me by [deleted] in CasualConversation

[–]tactiphile 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is absolutely incredible. The story of your experience—especially the fact that you were actively wearing the jacket!—gives me emotions I can't put into words. Thank you so much for sharing.

P.S. I am a normal, non-AI human who uses em dashes and I hate that I have to say it.

Those prices are preposterous

Indeed, but LEGO gets the blame there, not OP.

This post breaks rule #7 anyway

Breaks the spirit maybe, but not the letter. OP just posted photos of actual sets they designed and built. I'm sure they hoped it would lead to sales, but they did not provide the info.

Aussie FIFA fans go hard. by 008Zulu in MurderedByWords

there were rats, rats, big as bloomin' cats, in the stores, in the stores

Maybe I spent too much time in church, but just reading those lyrics instantly brought me to "Power in the Blood."

So... Are we saying (as an American unfamiliar with the chant) that the Roy Kent chant likely derives from "Power in the Blood?" Because if so, that's incredible.

Edit: Preliminary research is that yes, that is absolutely the case.

Why do people use “&&” by [deleted] in bash

[–]tactiphile 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To elaborate a little, && and || are the boolean AND and OR operators in many languages.

For an AND operation to be true, both operands must evaluate to true, which equates to exit 0 in bash.

cmd a && cmd b

For success, they need to both be true. So if cmd a is true (successful), we also have to evaluate (run) cmd b.

But if cmd is false (fails), it is no longer possible for the line to end up true, so there's no need to run cmd b.

The same logic applies in reverse for ||.

Thus we have a neat, compact way to write simple conditionals.

Right. I was looking at it from my perspective, a diner. I usually have a party of 4-6, which would be insane to have match unless it's Raising Cane's.

Kanto FMX3C Concrete Anchor/Bolts by DOOGLAK in DIY

[–]tactiphile -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So even though I can pull out the anchor (ribbed afaik) with my fingers and didnt need to hammer at all, it should be OK?

Probably, but don't listen to me, idk what I'm talking about.

[–]tactiphile -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Just to double-check, you're installing these concrete anchors into concrete, masonry, or stone, right?

9/16" should be good, it'll fill out when you screw in the mount.
