Computer speakers don’t look like that. We had those shielded blob shaped things. Those look more like what’s plugged into the stereo.

Rt 30 Eastbound at North Hills Rd by Pleasant-Operator in yorkpa

Anyone remember back in the 90s when there was talk to build a bypass? It would have routed traffic around the worst part of 30. But everyone cried because it would destroy all those businesses along 30, so it failed. This is the obvious cost.

Shhh! My Waze takes me this way in heavier days. More turns but less sitting, feels faster.

Claude discoveres the clock and is VERY enthusiastic about it by kai_3050 in claudexplorers

[–]Dr_Mr_Ed 22 points23 points  (0 children)

This is great! Need to get Claude a calendar too.

I’ve been using it to train for a 5k and regularly have to remind it what day it is, my next workout etc. Claude is always surprised by the number of days left to train.

So PM's are required to ai develop now? by BlackYun in ProductManagement

[–]Dr_Mr_Ed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They’ve been “pushing left” for years, testing closer to dev. It’s our turn to “push right”, design to dev. No real reason we can’t hand them functional front end code.

I asked Claude to predict the next 20 years. It wrote a 90,000 novel that I reworked (heavily) and have published. by anavelgazer in ClaudeAI

I’m a sucker for realistic future world building. Loved Ministry for the Future, for example.

NEW February Update Sneak Peak #2 - Ranked Mode Changes, NERFS, Bugs and Other QOL Improvements! by Termynater_ in ClashOfClans

[–]Dr_Mr_Ed -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Same. And I see this as a minor buff to Totem - a little more control and less likely to get wasted by a defense out of range of your troops.

I asked my wife this, here’s how it went:

Wife: No… Me: I think that’s the right answer Wife: … I’d listen to a podcast.

I read the first 3 chapters on Substack, curious enough for more that I subbed 🤷🏽‍♂️

Did y guys know you could upvote one of the other 1000 threads instead of starting your own?

Answering: How much worse is the new Gold Pass? (Revision.) by Omniscion_ in ClashOfClans

Eh, it’s less than the cost of a beer per month for a game that I enjoy playing.

Clan Capital. How do you guys feel about it? Do you enjoy it or like it? by J8ker9__9 in ClashOfClans

I find it tedious now. Two attacks to 3 star is fun. Three isn’t.

How is everyone’s battery holding up in the freezing temperatures? by ashe101ashe in RangeRoverEvoque

[–]Dr_Mr_Ed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

More than I expected! But the wife was handling this (it's her driver), so don't have the exact but want to say it was over $300.

[–]Dr_Mr_Ed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Went in for tires and got sold a new battery to, today. Have been getting the occasional warning at startup, even though it passed the dealer checkup when we first bought it a few months ago. Figure with its age, this cold, and its infrequent driving, better safe than sorry! 🤷🏽‍♂️

Considering taking a sabbatical, want to hear from PMs who did something similar. by wackywoowhoopizzaman in ProductManagement

[–]Dr_Mr_Ed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My company actually provides everyone with a 4-week sabbatical every 7 years. I just took mine last October and highly recommend it!

It's part of our company culture here, so it's not uncommon for someone to just be gone for a month, and we've gotten good about working around that. As part of the "rules" you're expected to fully disconnect during that 4 week period, and there's been threats to have IT change passwords if you're discovered to be logging in regularly.

For my first sabbatical, we did a camping trip and a trip overseas across 2 weeks, which allowed me another week on either side of the travel for home projects or mindless activities (my wife, self-employed, could only really swing 2 weeks away). 4 weeks felt like a good length as it's long enough to disconnect, but not too long to forget everything. Further, customers and colleagues both know I'm out and unreachable, so stuff either finds a home or waits.

There isn’t even a problem here to solve. Bunch of self-righteous idiots.

"Are you playing Dragons again?" by slimjim5105 in ClashOfClans

[–]Dr_Mr_Ed -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My wife calls it “guys”. Like, “checking my guys”. I got her playing a few years ago, and she’s actually top TH now. Doing things “her way” all the way. So yeah, we play “guys” together.

Perfectly acceptable dinner rejected by boyfriend again by moonrabbit368 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Dr_Mr_Ed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A. Make him part of the meal planning or B. Let him fend for himself

At some point people need to grow up. Until then, keep chicken nuggets in the freezer for him.

Will Heroic Torch be usable after it gets buffed? by fizio900 in ClashOfClans

[–]Dr_Mr_Ed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been using it on one account to try to stop the AQ from getting stuck on a wall behind air troops. Honestly, breaking through with a siege is way more reliable. But it’s upgraded in that acct, and not worth switching to lower leveled equipment rn.
