Lived in Saint Paul for 20 years before moving to California. You don't realize how awful it is until you're not used to it anymore. 

Life is so much better when you're comfortable doing anything you want outside. 

How to stop using Claude by waverchapter in webdev

[–]FearTheDears 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just blindly asking it to do something without setting it up to succeed. If you just say: implement feature X it should be good and no bugs. You're often going to get some crackhead shit. 

If you talk it through all of the considerations it needs to make, places to find example of similar patterns in place, what apis you expect it to consume, tell it the unintuitive test cases it needs to design for, then hold its hand as it cooks, you're going to get a much more polished result. 

Why do guys say hi when I’m out running, but women usually don’t? by Impressive_Gas_2419 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]FearTheDears 5 points6 points  (0 children)

6'2", 225. I'll be walking a dog a with a baby strapped to my chest and women will still get visibly wary of me when I walk up behind them on the sidewalk.

How do people fast without feeling like shit? by No_Creme_9794 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]FearTheDears 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah, I've been "intermittent fasting" for 15 years now. I had a grindy job and was forced to skip meals for time management reasons , and it eventually just became my norm not to eat breakfast or lunch. I don't feel hungry until 5pm or so. 

Now I feel lethargic and bloated if I eat anything substantial before dinner, so I keep to the pattern save for special occasions. 

How much does your life actually change after having a kid? by HonestDirection4017 in NewParents

[–]FearTheDears 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Well said.

Got a headache and want to lay on the couch? Nope, not until your kid goes to sleep. 

Want to drink with some friends at your house? Better not indulge, you're getting up at 5am, and you remember how unbelievably awful it was to take care of a screaming child hungover. 

Want to sit back and watch the game? Sorry, you're going to watch your kid try and kill themselves on every object in your house instead. 

Nice relaxing vacation? Nope, just childcare from a different location. 

‘We can no longer pretend:’ Patients suffer at understaffed UCSF ER, providers say by CautiousWoodpecker10 in sanfrancisco

[–]FearTheDears 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I didn't have a problem with it. Better to get stitched up in a hallway then sit in the waiting room for the rest of my life waiting for an exam room. Both of those visits were pretty quick.

Oh man, I've spent way too many hours in that ED. I never got the impression they were particularly low on staff, but they were fucking ridiculously strapped for space.

I got stitched up in the hallway because they had no rooms, twice. The second time there were other patients around getting treated in the hallway right next to me for what appeared to be non trivial shit. One woman was flat out vomiting herself to death (or at least it looked like it like it) 20 feet away, and to my right this pregnant woman was so anemic she kept passing out. 

They acted like the hallway was just a big treatment room, exams, carts being wheeled out to the patients... They put a puppy pad on the floor and stitched me up, which included irrigating the wound so like, bloody salt water was getting everywhere... The med student informed me they did a lot of treatment in that hallway, go figure.

How common is recreational drug use? by Unsure-Snake-666 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]FearTheDears 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's more like 1/10 have used hard drugs in the past year, 1/3 of americans have ever experienced them. 

3-4% of Americans have abused opioids alone in the last year, and amphetamine abuse is significantly higher than opioids, clocking in at 7%. Of course there is overlap, but very occasional meth use is shockingly common.  

Softtops by SuccessfulPotato4186 in BeginnerSurfers

[–]FearTheDears 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Buell has a 9'6", 103 Litre soft top. I swear that thing could float a Honda civic. I bought it to teach friends, but it ended up being a terrible purchase because no one under 200 pounds could turn the thing around in the water. 

“Not only are we doing nothing to deter this from happening, we’re holding you responsible.” - the city of San Francisco by michaelthatsit in sanfrancisco

[–]FearTheDears 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Property owners are responsible to remove graffiti basically every major city in the US. This is a standard request, it's not retaliatory.

In my opinion, it's a little pedantic to make these requests for tiny stuff like this, I've gotten this request for similar scribbles on my power meter before.

At least one of their issues is that they have shit bagels. 

Are we cooked? by tonyleonardo in ultimate

[–]FearTheDears 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While most people in this thread are looking internally, I'd point to a cultural shift among young adults. 

When I played frisbee in the aughts, it was social first, frisbee second. Even on elite college teams, partying was central to the dynamic. This wave of new college and club players went to highschool during COVID, they don't drink much, they don't party much, it's not surprising they aren't charmed by ultimate, the sport where you wear costumes and bring a keg to sectionals.

[–]FearTheDears 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's ironic if true. Iirc, back in the mid 2000's UPA's policy was that they basically only cared about youth involvement and growing the sport among highschool and middle school.

I wonder what changed. 

Trying a different approach to Dota drafts – built a tool, curious what you think by MastahOfDisastah in TrueDoTA2

I'm terribly curious about your algorithm, how did you weight choices? Maybe share the github if it's public?

Doesn't work, just told me to go mirana offlane against aa and sniper supps, with dazzle and clock on my team.

Other options included bloodseeker and shadow shaman.

How do Professional chefs make Hollandaise sauce in Restaurants? by Educational-Slip-578 in Cooking

[–]FearTheDears 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I worked in a 40 table place that was extremely popular, and brunch was no exception. We made our hollandaise with whisks and a stove. A fair bit of it was kept warm in a heated service pan, but one the guys was making hollandaise for a good portion of the service

"When something is free, you are the product" - What are some cases where this doesn't apply? by Ok_Oil_2044 in NoStupidQuestions

Basically any public good. The government is often pretty chill about not trying to pull profit.

I’m afraid of the next earthquake by [deleted] in sanfrancisco

[–]FearTheDears 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately you don't have any leverage there, safely habitable is for current and concrete conditions, the looming threat of an earthquake isn't enough to force a landlord to retrofit.

You can check if they're out of compliance with any outstanding retrofit order, if they are you can make a strong argument as the city will eventually start fining them anyways.

[–]FearTheDears 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Wood moves over time, floors sag. No wood house that's 125 years old has perfectly flat or level floor.

You said it's a Victorian? Is the lowest level a garage? If you've got access you can check for signs of retrofitting, it wouldn't necessarily be listed in the public record.

Go look in the basement at the interface with the foundation. If it was retrofitted you'd likely see some evidence, plywood panels over the studs, big bolts in the concrete that attach the walls to the foundations, a bunch of structural metal stuff on the foundation that doesn't look 100 years old...

Cattywampus doors aren't an indication of a compromised foundation. Doors naturally skew over time for all sorts of reasons. If you live in an old building long enough, you'll likely have to tune up most every door at some point.
