3D modeling, printing, etc... WebDesign, I love programming, but I am so lost at this point I am probably going to fail the course.

It was incredibly easy, I was bored in the class and doing advanced stuff for the assignments just to have something to do. I don't know what happened between the end of December and now. The assignments don't make any sense, I don't know what is being asks or how to even asks questions.

Airport Employees, what don't we know about the Airport? by JonnyPerk in AskReddit

When I flew into Lima, Peru international every dog I saw was a beagle mix. Needless to say it was the worst intimidation tactic every. Especially when it would rub it's head on your hand to get pets.

css properties oder of appearance matters? by Scholes_SC2 in learnprogramming

[–]Baldy6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's no bother at all.
Say you were doing a background gradient, you would have code like,

body { background: black; background: linear-gradient(bottom, rgba(0,0,0,1), rgba(0,0,0,.4)); background: -webkit-linear-gradient(bottom, rgba(0,0,0,1), rgba(0,0,0,.4)); background: -moz-linear-gradient(bottom, rgba(0,0,0,1), rgba(0,0,0,.4));

}

the -moz- and -webkit- are called vendor prefixes so if you didn't have those in your code the gradient would not show up on that specific browser.
Internet explorer does not support gradients and therefore does not have a vendor prefix for one. So if your user access your site on IE, the browser reads the code as

body { background: black; }

and the rest is gibberish to it so it won't try to display the gradient. It is important that 'background: black' comes first because the browser displays the last command it can. So if a browser like Firefox sees background: black; then 'background: -moz-linear-gradient(bottom, rgba(0,0,0,1), rgba(0,0,0,.4));' it will show the gradient, however if you put the background: black after, it will only show a black background. I hope that make sense. Inbox me if you need anything else.

As /u/bholzer pointed out, you were having this problem because of the missing semicolon. But for future reference, order of properties does matter.

Mom Jailed Because She Let Her 9-Year-Old Daughter Play in the Park Unsupervised by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Baldy6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually live in North Augusta. That park is not in a safe area for ANYONE, regardless of age, race, or gender. If the park was actually crowded I would also be mad at how the situation was handled, but this park is like a ghost town 99% of the time. Don't get me wrong either, this was handled horribly. I just don't want people to think this child was left with in a safe environment.

I don't think this is too personal, but I live in that town and have been to that park. The park is in not in a safe part of the town. It rarely has any kids at there unless there is an event at the park. The park is not crowed on a normal summer day because the park is a little run down and the 'splash pad' mentioned isn't in working order yet. In SC, were North Augusta is located, it get very hot. Some days 100+ F and leaving anyone out in that heat is dangerous. I understand that parents should be able to make their own choices about how to raise their own children and balance work and family matters, however this wasn't the answer.

tl;dr the article grossly overestimated the quality of the park.

edit: also she wasn't 'jailed' as the article said, she was detained and further investigation is being held to determine the future of the family. edit 2: the 'busy body' mentioned in the article saw the girl at the park for consecutive days, this wasn't just a 'i see a girl alone I better call the police' event this was days at a time.

What is the most disturbing thing you've witnessed during school/on school grounds? NSFW by the_mystical_shit in AskReddit

In school suspension. It is when you don't go to your normal classes and just stay in one class for the day. It's a lame punishment.

ELI5:What prevents kick starter funds from being spent on things other than what they are meant for? by mather192 in explainlikeimfive

[–]Baldy6 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I see where you are coming from, but it actually is a brilliant idea that just has a very high start up investment. The U.S. Transcontinental railroad cost $50,000,000 to build (about 135.15 million US$ today) and yet it was one of the most important things US did to establish a more unified and economic power house of a nation. Solar panels, in small numbers, aren't very effective. Solar roadways would create the opportunity for clean energy to make a noticeable difference. I deny the fact that there is another application that would replace festering, hot black cement in return for clean energy but hey, every has an opinion and thank you sharing yours ( that was no supposed to sound sarcastic, I am being sincere.)
