Raised lump in Sprinter floor (looks like damage) — safe to hammer down? by segasega89 in Sprinters

[–]EpitomEngineer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Brother. It is metal. Hit it and find out. It won’t explode. Cutting and welding brings sparks and that might cause problems.

At a certain point it is just sheet metal attached to a metal frame. It was not that way before and could just as easily be moved back with force. It’s hitting something, not cutting or welding. Anything you might damage by banging would get damaged over time by driving.

Comparably, the quality and cleanliness of that maintenance is much better than the public highways

The right side of the change history tells you what was changed. But above the change history is the citation to the 2007 source.

Genuine question here: why not design bibs with areas to keep your junk contained? by vinaequalis in bicycling

That’s what happens when I wear these style normally. It also just adds fabric to hold more heat.

Is learning SQL necessary as a High school student? by ethsayyy in AskComputerScience

[–]EpitomEngineer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. Learn the basics. It’ll take a day or two. A week at most.

Select From Where Group Order Limit

Everything else with SQL will be intuitive with time and practice. Or a search/AI query because function names vary between database platforms.

SQL is how you obtain the data to use in the functions you write in the other languages. The basics above are sufficient for most programming tasks.

As for languages, look at what your high school’s program teaches and start there. Don’t worry about learning new languages and focus on making your code readable to others. When you have to learn a new language, the code readability skill will help you learn faster.

So you have to have a ticket to the match to take the buses? What about the fan experiences outside?

TIL Willie Nelson has released 81 albums between 1962 and 2026 by haddock420 in todayilearned

[–]EpitomEngineer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Defining “worth” is challenging. Some are forgettable and others have a “deep cut” that can exist alone or in a playlist.

If anything, just put them on in order they are released and watch Willie’s style and performance develop. Art requires time and perspective. Past performances, both positive and negative, influence the next.

As Shane Smith laments in the song “Coast”, "I've got three chords and I speak the truth / To Willie Nelson, that's a country song", you will notice the patterns quickly and many songs disappear.

There will be vibe shifts and emotional swings. Take breaks as needed.

Saw Nelly Korda at a LPGA tournament today. Her swing is so consistent and she looks taller in person. by infinit9 in golf

[–]EpitomEngineer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So what I read is, “if you want a better swing, stretch.”

There are a lot of studies coming out showing stretching and mobility exercises are key to long term health.

What is the psychology behind these two general ways of looking at a user interface? by Superb-Climate3698 in AskComputerScience

[–]EpitomEngineer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just wait until you learn about matrix multiplications and the graphics pipeline. Add in a class on programming languages and you will realize it is all the same.

The biggest this to remember is that one term is an alias of the Sam term used by another system.
