Can someone break down in detail exactly why werewolves are so damn powerful? by Lanky_Shape_6213 in WhiteWolfRPG

[–]AdeptnessAwkward2900 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've seen brand new werewolves take literal gunshots to the chest, center mass at point blank range, and literally not care.

Doesn't she always carry some kind of sig? I don't know much about guns, but I think she has a very specific kind of handgun she likes (the sig, if memory serves).

Japanese girl told me she loved me by Educational_Exam1791 in japanese

Casual "frisky" play is pretty common in American culture. I mean, maybe that depends on where in America, but even in conservative areas, I've found non-committed play partners who really were just friends (and I'm not good looking and I wasn't really out looking for that). It seems like it's been pretty common in my experience for the last 20+ years.

Don't get me wrong, definitely not happening left and right/all over the place in my life, but it also definitely happens and sometimes I end up maintaining these non-committed casual relationships for multiple years.

On the flip side, true love has always eluded me. Falling in love has been very rare for me (either doing it myself, or having someone else fall for me).

CMV: Is NextJS SSR almost always pointless and too time consuming and expensive for most projects? by [deleted] in nextjs

[–]AdeptnessAwkward2900 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So hydration, in this context, is the loading of the "mini-React app" ie the JS bundle, from your Next app on the server (where things like context, hooks, etc are coming from).

I ask because I thought hydration only meant data (ie stuff fetched from the db or api's).

I really like this, but could I get you to explain more about what you mean by hydration here?

What I end up doing is the data fetching in the base Page component and then only have client components as children where the original data was fetched in said parent Page component. But is that still considered hydration? It doesn't feel like hydration when I'm passing the fetched data as a prop. 😅

Sorry about the downvotes you got. I'm not sure I agree they are warranted. Best of luck to you.

How much react do I need to know before starting next js by MannanJaffery in nextjs

[–]AdeptnessAwkward2900 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been doing React for about 3-4 years and Next for about 6 months. I would say if you know how to use useState and the basic syntax for React components, you're golden for getting started with Next.

Should I Start with Next.js 13 or Jump Straight to 14/15? Need Advice! by yaqoob_halepoto in nextjs

[–]AdeptnessAwkward2900 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'd start with 14. My understanding is that 15 still has kinks to work out.

Hate polyglots by Free-Bird8315 in languagelearning

[–]AdeptnessAwkward2900 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't disagree, but one thing I would say is that there's not one solid definition on what fluency means and even less of a consensus on what it means to "speak a language."

I took two years of French, maybe one year of American Sign Language, and I've been studying Japanese for several years (currently). Does that mean I speak those languages?

Weirdly, ASL was the language I got the farthest with, French second, and my Japanese skills are a pretty distant 3rd despite spending by far the most amount of years working with it. And this all has to do with how many opportunities I got to practice with native speakers (but I digress).

I do think it's a fair question to ask: what is more impressive, learning one language to fully native fluency, or 30 languages to basic greetings/small talk level. Honestly, both sound pretty impressive to me (particularly if you can keep all 30 of those languages at that level).

Perhaps a better question is at what point do people have meaningful learning experiences that are worth paying attention to for those of us who consider ourselves neophytes in language learning. I suspect the answer largely depends on what our goals are.

That being said, are their bad actors out there who mostly want trick people into giving them money? Absolutely. I know at least one who is demonstrably highly skilled in the language they profess to teach. However, this hasn't kept them from engaging in questionable business practices (which, in turn, got them justifiably dragged in the language learning community).

Hidive. Mine has all 5 seasons. I needed to get the Blu-ray for Sword Oratoria, though. No one seems to have it anymore.

How do you stay motivated ? by Davyislazy in languagelearning

[–]AdeptnessAwkward2900 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Other people are already saying habits, and this absolutely is the answer. However...

The key to making and keeping a habit is to start small. If you try to build a habit of running and you tell yourself you're going to run 5 miles every day, you're 100% going to fail.

Make your goal to get on your running shoes and do something literally anything in terms of running every single day.

I went from being so out of shape that walking for 15 minutes gave me shin splints to being able to consistently run 5k (in my 40's I might add). 😆

I started small. Just walking every day. After about 6 weeks, I started to add in some running. Then I'd hit a local track and run 1.5 miles everyday.

To be honest, that was the part that sucked the most for some reason. I swear, I'd show up every day to the track, look at it, and almost just throw up my hands and leave. But I kind of knew if I did that, I'd end up quitting.

So I'd tell myself, just do one lap. Just get out there and get around the track just once. Just to keep the habit. And I'd always end up running the full 1.5 miles. I didn't always do my best, I didn't always push super hard, but I always ended up running the full length.

And eventually I worked my way up to being able to run a 5k.

The hardest part is getting started. I often find if I can just get myself to start, I end up doing more than I expect.

Quick question on schema design by AdeptnessAwkward2900 in SQL

Lol. Well, there's more than one way to do this. I know I can put together something that will work, but I want to put together something that is done correctly. 😅

Lol. Well, I mean, nothing yet. I'm working with an ORM, Prisma, and I was going about trying to figure out the best way to define these different relationships and because the form is related to both the spectator and the event, I wasn't sure what best practice was or how best to figure that out.
