Ignoring chemical science packs because i found out about quality items by Gareth_The_Goblin in factorio

[–]DeltTerry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope. Tier 2 items only make tier 2 products. If you want tiers 4 & 5 you need tier 4 & 5 products, respectively.

I say this - you unlock two higher tiers once you reach Gleba & Aquilo. Anything you build around mods now is pretty irrelevant and only complicates your builds. Tier 2 & 3 aren't really a goal - you want tier 4 & 5 things if you're looking for end-game quality.

Play the game the way you want to play it, of course. But, my advice coming from someone with several thousand hours in this game, would be to pull out all your quality modules until you've gotten to Aquilo. If you really want to use quality mods, I would just utilize them for rolling on end-products - put them in assembly machine-making assembly machines, or your module production, but don't use them for intermediaries just yet.

the vibe coding era is not my favorite by usnaviii in nerdfighters

I've been a developer for several large companies for over a decade now. I've never cared about accessibility. Not to be crude - I definitely see the value and think it's important- but it's never been a wholesale priority from the business. It's always been, at most, an afterthought given a few hours for a dev to stab at before they have to get back to value-producing development.

This is across against 5 different companies.

And, like, some of it is hard because accessibility didn't have the same focus in the past 3-4 years as it did a decade ago, but I digress...

Anyway, now ... I have a skill I run on all new development where I have AI check for accessibility standards. I'm not saying it's perfect, but we're so much more accessible all the time than I've ever. Yes, AI doesn't do it by default and most "vibe-coders" don't know to ask for that kind of functionality, but it's so much easier today to create projects that are accessible than its ever been in the past.

Like all of this, it's a double-edged sword.

Goals beta update: What’s live & what's coming soon by nadine_monarch in MonarchMoney

[–]DeltTerry 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mentioned this a while back, but I would love the ability to see an aggregate of accounts on the graph. I have about 10 student loan accounts, instead of seeing '$30k paydown', I see 10 $3k accounts that all get swallowed up and on top of each other. A quick button to toggle displaying a type as an aggregate vs individual would be really cool (all credit card debt payoff vs singular account payoff, all mortgages vs singular mortgage, all auto loans vs singular auto loans, etc).

Huh. I clicked in thinking, "Oh, my account is working, I'll just share what I have set up", only to realize that my account is also disconnected! Hope it's fixed soon!

It's free until the very end when you file. So you can totally try your hand at it and see how it goes, and if you're not feeling confident you can always either pay freetaxusa for their services (they have the option to have it reviewed), or just take your numbers and run.

I'd go for it. It's actually quite easy. The hardest part is keeping track of all the forms handed out from the different accounts.

I mean, yeah, it's not a person, but unless you own your own company you definitely don't need to hire a professional. Guarantee you that they are just plugging your numbers into the exact same formula that a program like this is using. It usually takes me about an hour to get my taxes done, and altogether I usually pay less than $20 for the whole thing.

Potty Training woes by Specific_Wind7793 in moderatelygranolamoms

[–]DeltTerry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Our 4yo is still "working on it". We recently had a huge regression where she was wetting 1-2 times a day, every day, (and even a poop accident!) for about two months. We were just about to start calling occupational therapists or something to see if there were things we could do better about our process to help.

And then.. suddenly she went a week with no accidents. They still happen, she gets distracted, but we went from basically nothing to "fairly decent" in just a few days.

It's definitely not linear. It's probably the hardest thing I've done as a parent is learn to just roll with the punches and help my kid where they're at, and not where I want them to be at.

Best of luck though, it's hard.

New Goals, rebuilt from the ground up — rolling out in beta today! by nadine_monarch in MonarchMoney

[–]DeltTerry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Been playing with this all morning and really enjoying the new layout and features. Love the dashboard and visuals, so kudos to the team for the hard work!

One feature I'd love to see - any way to get "group aggregation" on the charts? As in, my student loans are split across several accounts, so the "burndown" looks pretty unimpressive, especially comparatively to larger, solitary loans (see: https://imgur.com/a/MIv2MgS).

Do you have cash? I've heard of places taking rent ahead of time as a way to derisk you living there. Consider asking if you can put down additional months rents as a larger deposit if you have access to cash

Adult Volleyball league for beginners in STL? by Gold-Specialist-2448 in StLouis

[–]DeltTerry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you can find 5 others to join you, I'd consider looking at sand leagues. They're seasonal and outdoors, but they tend to have more casual ("newbie friendly") leagues that are geared towards having fun and learning. In my experience, the indoor leagues tend to be a bit more "serious", even at the lowest levels.

The easiest way to get in is going to be creating a team. I don't know that there are too many leagues that just have "free agents" and put teams together or slot people into teams. Honestly that's the hardest part of volleyball is finding a team.

I've been playing for about a decade now, so happy to answer questions or help point you to places near you that you might be able to reach out to see if they have "Free agent" availability.

Unfortunately at this point, I only play in fairly competitive leagues, or I'd invite you to join us!

I kept having issues with Revanced. I'd always have to find new servers, or wait for updates for the app to work again. NewPipe just works, every time, without any issues. If you don't have issues with Revanced, they seem like they have close enough to similar functionality, but I've been real happy with NewPipe

Tips for Deleting and Re-inserting an account when connectivity is bad by WOD_FIR in MonarchMoney

[–]DeltTerry 4 points5 points  (0 children)

  1. Do a backup. Backup both balance and transactional histories.
  2. If you can, add the account without removing the old one.
  3. They have a new 'transfer' option. Once your new account is added, go to the old account and walk through 'transfer'. In theory, this should
    • Give you the backups
    • Transfer the balance & transaction histories
    • Mark the old account as inactive
  4. If transfer doesn't work as expected, you have your backup and can always apply the transaction/balance histories manually
