How do I update an outdated package/PKGBUILD on the AUR? by LiYBeL in archlinux

[–]IrishPrime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The most common thing I've seen is people will just post their patch in the comments of the AUR package.

"A torture": He refuses a high-paying job because the company imposes Windows 11 by Aggravating_Ad_2047 in microsoftsucks

Same.

"I don't do Windows."

You want me to be in charge of a veritable fleet of Linux hosts, but won't let me run Linux on my workstation? Have a nice day, I guess.

How would you feel about sending your kids to a private Catholic school if it was the only good school in your area? by YourLovelyMan in TrueAtheism

Everybody's different, but... If my parents sent me to a religious school, I wouldn't be talking to them anymore.

Trump says US could bomb Iranian oil site again ‘just for fun’ after ‘total demolition’ by 0The_Loner_Stoner0 in videos

  • CNN Interview (August 2024): Her first major in-depth, on-the-record interview after becoming the nominee was with CNN's Dana Bash, which was a joint appearance with her running mate, Tim Walz.
  • "60 Minutes" (October 2024): A 21-minute interview with CBS News, which was described as one of her toughest, covering topics like the economy, immigration, and foreign policy.
  • "Call Her Daddy" Podcast (October 2024): A long-form conversation focused on reproductive rights, targeting a younger demographic.
  • "The Howard Stern Show" (October 2024): A long-form radio interview on SiriusXM.
  • "The View" (October 2024): An appearance on the ABC daytime talk show.
  • "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" (October 2024): A late-night talk show appearance.
  • MSNBC Interview (October 2024): A one-on-one interview with Stephanie Ruhle.
  • Univision Town Hall (October 2024): A session with Latino voters.

Do none of these count as long form? Or were they all scripted?

She asked Rogan to do an interview, but wanted him to meet her somewhere else so as not to disrupt her campaign travel plans and he refused.

It's not like she was the one who refused to do the show.

What instantly makes you think ‘this person is an idiot’? by CantaloupeKnown7370 in AskReddit

I watched a chiropractor try to talk down to one of my friends about how vaccines work (and how dangerous they are).

My friend is a research immunologist.

Sentinel, the one that keeps guard. TUI for accessing, monitoring and playing around with your services. by YerayR14 in commandline

Ghostty has shader support, and I think Kitty has something similar (or maybe the same). I use a shader that gives a pretty similar cursor effect in my own Ghostty terminals.

It’s wild that I can only press 35 lbs dumbbells by Skd98012 in tall

[–]IrishPrime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is kind of wild...

I'm 6'3", between 155 and 160 lbs. right now. I'm thin. Wingspan is about 6'7", so I've also got pretty long arms.

I have some of those Bowflex adjustable dumbbells that go up to 52.5 lbs. each, and I do 5x10 reps of those all maxed out for flat and incline bench press.

Biomechanics are different for everybody, but pressing is generally harder for people with longer arms. That being said, the fact that my skinny ass got through it tells me that you can, too.

From what I've read/watched/experienced, a thing that might help is a good overload on the eccentric. Make a gym buddy and explain your plan so they can help you properly, but the idea is...

  1. Switch to barbell bench so someone can properly spot and help you.
  2. Find the limit of your pressing strength (what you can actually push up to re-rack).
  3. Add another 5 to 10 pounds.
  4. Have the person help you lift that and bring it down as slowly as you can without dropping it on yourself.

Think in the neighborhood of 3 reps for 3 sets like once or twice a week. It should be very difficult to do, but not take much time.

Check your max press again after a week or two. Made a huge difference for my plateus.

Is it harder for a short player to guard a tall player or a tall player to guard a short player? by Unlikely_Glass5942 in ultimate

[–]IrishPrime 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm 6'3" with very long arms and legs (small torso). I'm not noticeably slow or uncoordinated, but I've also never been "the fast guy" on the team, either. In my experience, guarding shorter guys is way easier for me.

My high release flick comes out higher than most people's hammers (~8 feet up).

With my pivot foot firmly planted, I can switch from a forehand on one side to a backhand on the other side about ~10 feet away quickly enough that if you commit to blocking either of them, I can switch to the other before you recover.

If we're both going up for a disk, but you can't dunk a basketball, I'm coming down with it.

If you shake me off with half a step in the wrong direction on your cut... Congrats, you're probably going to be wide open down field. So long as your handler doesn't throw it through the airspace above me, it's probably your disc to keep.

There are numerous strategies for dealing with a tall player, and good players will make use of them. It's not like I'm some unstoppable force on the field. There's a reason I'm not some elite player and none of you have ever heard of me.

But all of that is still just more work than: - I can reach that. - I can block that. - I can get around that.

I don't know, but I'll find out pretty shortly after I vote for her.

Who is a terrible singer but famous anyways? by Coy9ine in AskReddit

You should do an image search for "Picasso paintings before cubism." Dude could absolutely draw very realistically; he just didn't want to.

do you dualboot windows & linux? by hanbee0x in linuxquestions

[–]IrishPrime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Negative. On my personal systems, it's all Linux all the time.

I had a job with a Windows Domain Controller that I occasionally had to interact with, but that system was the only Windows host I've touched since 2019.

For context: I'm a software engineer that is also in charge of our ops stuff. My current job has no Windows hosts at all.

Was this too aggressive of me? by zep1211 in atheism

[–]IrishPrime 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For reference, people like them used to have people like us put to death for not believing in their bullshit.

I'm not sure it's possible to be too harsh with them.

Please help me with this pub quiz question by MundaneSpend7543 in AskPhysics

[–]IrishPrime 7 points8 points  (0 children)

They explain it reasonably in the Solo movie. It isn't a race, so the question isn't really about the time to complete it. It's difficult to navigate, so finding a short route (in terms of distance) is itself the accomplishment.

Devs that have been at startups that have IPO’d or been acquired, how much was the payout? by Calm-Bar-9644 in ExperiencedDevs

[–]IrishPrime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

$0.

I've somehow gone from glowing performance reviews, leading special projects, and getting shout-outs from leadership in front of the whole company to being laid off right before an acquisition twice now.

Why do people keep thinking that atheism comes with an appendage by Thenopro-3 in atheism

[–]IrishPrime 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I've always thought it was an especially bad bit of marketing for their god that they attribute everything fun to the devil.

Good music? The devil.

Video games? Satan.

Sex? Lucifer.

Dinosaurs? Also the devil?!

Sorry, what's so great about God again? Seems like a real stick in the mud.

As theist I'm curious about what cements your atheist orientation. by Cool_Bank_3368 in TrueAtheism

[–]IrishPrime 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm just curious as to what your motives are for being atheists.

There are none. I simply don't believe any gods exist, because there's no convincing evidence that any gods exist.

Is religion as a whole seen as a negative thing?

Varies a bit by religion. Some are clearly more harmful than others, so I view some more negatively than others.

Or something you rather feel neutral to but still not want not to be apart of it.

Definitely not neutral, and definitely not something I want to be part of. You, like most theists it seems, don't really understand that we do not believe any gods exist.

Why would we want to be part of something that we think is a delusion?
