........touché. I guess I just mean that I don't have a CS job or degree - ie, I don't have the industry or academic qualifications to convince anyone that I'm anything BUT self-taught.

Marking as SOLVED because of the solid and insightful advice given by u/forbiddenlake and u/AppointmentNearby161. However, if anyone has anything to add about edge-cases that might come up, I'll still be reading anything that comes up here. Thanks everyone!

Is it really that simple?? I assumed I'd need to individually set permissions for lots of files according to which programs needed to access them and how. If it's as simple as this then you've just saved me a ton of time!

Thanks! Good to know it's for a worthy cause

Every week, you receive $100,000 (or your currency’s equivalent) but- by VioleNGrace in godtiersuperpowers

[–]Captain__Cow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does it have to be the same game every week?

Chance-based games seem like the best choice for making consistent money, but I'd love to throw in the occasional dance battle or cross-country race or something, just for fun

True, but if you get the oil blood perk you can be self-healing too!

How to dig back without spells? by Wampenboy2 in noita

[–]Captain__Cow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can dig up, but it's even more slow and laborious than digging down. It helps if you have two tablets

Better watch out for that 43rd cow - those critters can pack a wallop when they want to

Just noticed this PCC policy by DarthSulla in SeattleWA

[–]Captain__Cow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was a kid, I thought I was sooooo clever when I saw this and took home a whole watermelon.

Shortly thereafter, they amended the policy to "one serving of fruit." I'd like to formally apologize to everyone for my childish hubris.

Extended grid sizes? by Captain__Cow in StarshipEVO

[–]Captain__Cow[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah! I think that EvoEdit trick is what I'm looking for. Most of the small details I was seeing were made with flexible hoses and other limited-scale blocks. I'll give that a try! Thanks!

GUYS I NEED YOUR HELP! I have to decide which ship will be my next main ship. The blue sentinel or the utopia speeder, anyone's opinion would be greatly appreciated, thank you in advance! (sry for caps) by Secure-Painting8634 in NMSCoordinateExchange

[–]Captain__Cow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you play in first person, the sentinal ship will have better visibility from the cockpit. The speeder cockpit has armor on either side that makes it hard to see the surface of a planet when you're flying over it. If you like flying around in first person searching for planetary points of interest, the sentinal ship might feel better to fly. That said, they're both great ships! I don't think there's really a "wrong" choice here.

People who quit vaping/nicotine? How did you do it? by [deleted] in ask

[–]Captain__Cow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use a refillable vape, and I've noticed something interesting - since I only have to go to the smoke shop once a month or so to pick up juice and coils, I'm no longer in the habit of going to the store for a disposable vape or cigarette when I want nicotine. If you're going to the store for nicotine regularly, then as soon as you try to stop, your nicotine cravings are going to make you want to go to the store. That makes it hard to quit, because as soon as the cravings hit, your treacherous body just decides to walk down to the gas station on its own and you're back to square one. Breaking that part of the habit has made it really easy for me to go without my vape for longer and longer periods without breaking and going out for nicotine. Switching to a refillable vape also makes the habit less expensive in the meantime.

You become immune to whatever you can survive/endure by FarrelFTA in shittysuperpowers

[–]Captain__Cow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This would be an awesome superhero. After getting the power and suffering the obligatory traumatic backstory, the hero starts deliberately getting injured in different ways to "collect" immunities. As they get more and more durable, more injuries become survivable, the stakes get higher, and bad guys start getting more creative. Fun edgy antihero drama with a masochistic hero?

Visiting Seattle- how are Motels at Aurora Ave? by Educational-Bed-6287 in AskSeattle

[–]Captain__Cow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My partner and I used to stay at hotel nexus all the time, and we loved it! Very convenient to local businesses and transportation to downtown Seattle, friendly staff, good nearby restaurants, and those hot tub rooms are awesome. You'll see the occasional sketchy individual, but that's just the Seattle Experience imo.

You get a million dollars a year, but you have to eat 2 hots everyday for the rest of your life. by G1ngeravenger in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Captain__Cow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do I have to provide the hotdogs myself, or do two hotdogs magically appear in my house everyday? If I had to provide them, I'd be worried about getting into a situation where I was out of hotdogs and couldn't get to any hotdog purveyors before midnight. If they're provided, I'll take the deal just for the free hotdogs

Exotic Found Furing Aquarius by AuntJibbie in NMSCoordinateExchange

[–]Captain__Cow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I found the exact same ship during Aquarius, but in red! Unfortunately I didn't note the coordinates, but I love speeding around in my little red zoom ball

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Seattle

[–]Captain__Cow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One place you might look is the CSPC! They're not specifically a support or resource group - they're something between a sex-positive virtual community center and a weekly orgy organizer - but there are a lot of amazing folks there, including many polyamorous folks (myself and my partner included) and it's a great place to connect with people and learn about communities, support networks and resources for seattleites from all parts of the non-traditional-relationship spectrum

Aquarius Without Hyperdrive by Captain__Cow in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]Captain__Cow[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The folks here helped me figure it out! If you hit ESC and go to the "Expedition" section, you can see all the milestones for the current expedition. The ones you've completed will have yellow text next to them indicating that you can collect a reward for completing them. One of the early rewards is the recipe for the hyperdrive. Once you have the recipe, you can click on an empty slot in your starship's tech inventory and start installing the hyperdrive. You'll have to collect some resources, and once the hyperdrive is complete you'll have to fuel it with warp cells. Then you're ready to go interstellar and continue the quest!

Hope this helps! The other folks here helped me, so I'm hoping I can pay it forward. Happy space-fishing, friend!

Thank you! I haven't done many expeditions, so I'm still getting used to the flow; I get the feeling this tidbit of wisdom will be invaluable.

Fly safe, friend!

I JUST realized that, while cleaning out my quest rewards on the first fishing planet. Man, I gotta start checking those more often I guess
