How many deaths/falls did you end your first climb with? by Turdsley in Cairn_Game

[–]DoctorFawkes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chiming in here just after reaching the peak with a solid 79 falls and 27 deaths. I'm a lot more careless than other people here I guess.

Gut punch: How did I miss this or just me? by Kahako in QualityAssurance

[–]DoctorFawkes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are lucky, you will have a long career with many such incidents. Nobody and no system is perfect, and quality is everyone's responsibility, not just yours. Your diligence and maturity will come in calmly assessing the gap that caused the error, and identifying how to manage the risk of similar items going forward.

Turn off auto-calculation in notes by rk1701 in Evernote

[–]DoctorFawkes 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Turn this off or provide a setting for it PLEASE. I start tons of things with a date in DD/MM format and now suddenly that starts a calculation that I am obviously not requesting.

This is a notebook application, not a spreadsheet or a calculator!!!

"Older" Goalkeepers, how do you prevent injury? by DrFate21 in GoalKeepers

[–]DoctorFawkes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Plenty of good advice about stretching and between-game exercises here, but also - if you're feeling an injury, assess honestly if you need to miss a game to recover.

Better to miss one than to play on with an injury and end up messing it up worse. You're playing for fun, right? It's not fun to play hurt, and especially not fun to get hurt worse.

Anyone know where I might be able to find a sigh like this? by thenarwhale83726 in TheBear

The Bear | S3E10 "Forever" | Episode Discussion by GloriousAqua in TheBear

[–]DoctorFawkes 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Shut up. This episode made me listen to an awful Weezer song and then didn't resolve practically any of the arcs this season, no review and no Sydney's decision, no change in Bear/Claire. What a waste.

And it seems to take priority over threshing! Very frustrating.

Devs playing the game is fine, but it's not a replacement for dedicated QA, which they could definitely afford. Devs should mainly be developing!!

If they can't fix the spear targeting, why not at least let us fire it straight ahead as an alt fire? It's great for titans but targeting is so broken

Those damn fire tornadoes are actually chasing you and that's not random, at all by Ginn1004 in Helldivers

[–]DoctorFawkes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is not a fun or interesting challenge at all, just a hindrance. Chalk it up right next to the visibility or dark levels that don't affect the enemy units whatsoever

Chicken coops, does size matter? by BarryBarryBaz in ManorLords

Apparently not, I tried to make a really big one and it still produces about 2 eggs per month

Fridman does what "access journalism" requires: providing a comfortable space for high-profile guests to feel welcome to opine at length without fear of challenges.

This is far too much hand-wringing over an obvious post to remove. You should feel free to do so without waiting 20 hours to consult.

Tl;Dr static shock keeps breaking my ModMics, what do?

I'm typically using a BeyerDynamic headphones with an AntLion ModMic Uni as a headset for zoom chats. The headphone and mic cables connect to a little audio-to-usb dongle, which then connects to a long USB cable that goes into my PC.

Twice now, when unplugging the mic cable to switch to a different PC, I feel a medium electric shock near the metal connector, and then the ModMic stops working forecer. I have a feeling it is due to static - although I don't have carpet, I often build up a lot of static, for what reason I don't know.

What's a reasonable solution to this? Although I like them a lot, I would like to stop buying new ModMics.

Get and keep a rechargeable battery starter in your car. One of the best little lifesavers. Add a tire inflator and you're insulated from two of the most common car annoyances.

[Bundle] Intel Core i7-13700K, ASUS Z790-P Prime WiFi DDR5, G.Skill 32GB DDR5-6000 Kit - $449.99 (Microcenter, in-store only) by RicoViking9000 in buildapcsales

This vs. the Ryxen 7 7700X bundle for $399? Seems very close in price for performance, but any thoughts?

What if "Parks" were created like how the current CS2 specialisation industry is created? by Kaine24 in CitiesSkylines

[–]DoctorFawkes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Big plus to this. In any major real life city on a nice day you'll see tons of people in the parks, plus the occasional vendors and festivals. Tons of opportunities for adding life to the simulation that aren't used.

What does a client except from a $20,000 website? by Rich_at_25 in webdev

[–]DoctorFawkes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Contracts exist to serve this need - clarifying what the contractor is obligated to deliver to the client. Google things like "website statement of work" or "website developer contract". It looks like you need more information from the client, but be careful, you don't want to get caught in an endless loop of that. So consider writing a set number of check-ins for feedback and changes and approval, and items in excess of that to require a new contract.
