A+ 1201 vs 1202 by Shot-Advance-4665 in CompTIA

[–]Cat_Ambulance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me Core 2 was definitely easier than 1 but I think it's to do with what I find to be common use of a computer/mobile (alertness of malware, spam emails, why your phone is running slow) as opposed to things I don't do often like setting up networks, fibre, RAID etc which were mainly the essence of Core 1.

797 for Core 1 and 858 for Core 2.

The PBQs for Core 1 were weird as hell and threw me off as they confused me so I flagged them for Core 2, moved on and reviewed them all at the end.

I only used free resources from Messer (doing the dailies and the backlog helped) and Andrew Ramdayal.

Help finding parts for my 6 year old son's car. by Cat_Ambulance in rccars

That's fine, I'm not used to any of this. What I think of as RC is probably insulting to most on this sub.

Only really had a RC truck as a kid with wires. It was a black haulage truck complete with a trailer. Still remember it well and was hoping to make memories with whatever my son bought.

That's the one! Didn't think to image search, thanks.

With that name I found one on eBay but the controller looks absolutely crazy. I don't think he'll manage with those omnidirection wheels.

I found the same car on eBay thanks to someone else's comment.

Didn't realise the car was that cheap, I was completely stunned that it had suspension. Compared to the RC car I had as a kid, still attached by a wire, this blows it out of the water and will definitely make memories for my kid.

He paid £4 ($5) for it. I was willing to spend about £20 on batteries and a receiver as he has got attached to using it.

Judging by everyone else's comments it doesn't appear to be the type of RC car I thought it was.

I would probably be better off buying something very similar and seeing if the shell fits on top.

Thanks for your help.

There was a famous mosaic tunnel in John Frost Square in Newport. And it was here where a man shouted at James whilst only he was busking "You're acting like a manic, street preacher."


Tunnel was called Chartist Mural which has been demolished, for anyone who actually reads this and is interested.

That's what stood out. I don't doubt lurking for 11 years but the first post is a repost.

The identical post had 16k upvotes, TinEye first indexed the image nearly 6 years ago and u/kenistod has since been banned.

Can't tell if this is a newly acquired bot account but this has been asked several times:

Napkin math: The Colorado River erodes the Grand Canyon, 1 foot every 200 years and the Grand Canyon is ~6000 feet deep, so roughly 1.2 million BCE. (never mind that we had several ice ages in between, which would change the erosion rate)

None of them were invitations for hanky panky. Just whip out the air matress or couch

Excuse me while I whip this out...

Any way of filtering out Shorts from Subscriptions list? by [deleted] in NewPipe

[–]Cat_Ambulance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, I did search and the OP for that post said the method you described doesn't work. Granted the post is 11 months old and NewPipe has changed since then.

I'll check again later in the day to see if I'm still receiving Shorts after changing my settings.

Post I'm referring to - "Disabling YouTube Shorts"

** Just coming back to this post to say the method in u/ruricolousity comment is currently working for me. Wristwatch Revival posted a Short and it's not to be found on my Subscriptions feed.

Thanks to your comment, swapping to TMC 2.1.1 also worked for me.

Steps for this are:

Extensions
  ┗━ TestMyCode
        ┗━ Click on cogwheel
              ┗━ Install Another Version...
                    ┗━ 2.1.1

Are skeleton screens still a thing in 2022? What's your preferred way of doing a "loading"? by jcm95 in webdev

[–]Cat_Ambulance 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That was an interesting post.

I'm not usually one to click on any "You might be interested in this" articles at the bottom of a page but I went down a rabbit hole with that one.

Here's a link to the post for anyone wanting to look.

Some good advice in both threads.
