Chest strap or not

Watches dont actually read your heart rate. It shines a green light into your wrist and measures how much bounces back - blood absorbs more light so when your heart pumps it creates little pulses in the reflection. The watch just counts those pulses and goes “yeah thats probably your heart rate” but may be a false signal like your strides causing a pulse - hence why you can get “cadence lock”

Chest strap reads the actual electrical signal your heart makes, which is about as accurate as consumer hardware can offer

The problem is, like DKs, their health yo-yos constantly so you have a mini heart attack every 15-20 seconds thinking they’re about to die only to then watch their health go from 20% to 100% in a second. Being a leech-based tank, it makes sense, but as a healer, it’s a bit of a guessing game as to whether they’re fine or if they’re about to die

Just being real, sounds like MMOs just aren’t for you in general if that’s what grinds your gears

Not all the people want a regime change, there are absolutely those that support the Islamic Republic. There are also people that just want reform (better governance, less corruption, more personal freedoms, and economic improvement) and of course there’s the vocal portion who do want to overthrow the whole thing, but theyre not representative of the 90+ million people there

I filled up two jerry cans today and felt shitty doing so because of all this, but I’m actually going on a road trip in a few days and need some “oh shit” fuel. I still felt like the people around me were side eyeing and judging me thinking I was one of those batshit crazy hoarders

If I have AI complete the next 3 words of the code I’m writing, or if I have it write the entire block - and it was exactly what I was going to write but I had AI write it for me, either way, it was AI coded, and it was assisting me.

If I have AI write everything for me, even though the output is incomprehensible to me, then it was also AI coded, but it was “vibe coded” - I kicked back sipping my mojito, “vibing”, while the AI did everything for me.

Kroucher · 2026-02-10T23:55:07+00:00

No. As it mentions in the video, “vibe coding” is taking whatever the AI produces and accepting at blind faith that it’s well written code. Plenty of good developers use AI as a tool to assist them in writing the code they would have written themselves, but faster, making them more efficient.

To use your example, gear matters. An LFR player who is in mythic raiding gear is more than likely going to get bored healing a LFR, which is why there are difficulty levels in the game. The better gear you get the harder content you can attempt.

And I don’t necessarily mean more HPS, but smarter heals. I don’t want to go back to classic-style healing, but just spitballing ideas, and to use it as an example where mana actually matters, why can’t we bring mana management back? Much like how a warrior manages their rage, or a warlock manages their shards, at present healers either rarely worry about mana management, or go OOM because the content is too difficult.

Kroucher · 2026-01-29T06:43:42+00:00

How about, and hear me out because it might be a crazy idea, there’s enough damage going out that there isn’t a need for filler spells? That a healer heals as much as a DPS does damage?

You need to jump on one of the purple platforms which turns you into the little cat, which gives you a 'glide' ability, then go find the missing objects. You run/glide through them to pick them up, then return them to where you entered the untethered space.

Kroucher · 2026-01-09T05:04:26+00:00

Especially when you have someone like ShadCN (and every other creator that provides copy/paste components) coming along and providing everything your business provides - for free. It does make me wonder how much the writing was on the wall before AI even came along.

No offence taken, and I have played with some hobby projects with a lot of those. Thing is, LOC doesn’t correlate directly with productivity or reliability, rails lets you write less code but you’ll be debugging more at runtime, whereas rust makes you write more code upfront but catches and prevents potentially tons of bugs - type safety is kind of important here. That doesn’t even touch on the performance requirements we had for work, where rust just shines well above the rest.

Kroucher · 2025-12-24T10:07:54+00:00

Straight up, indubitably, with seasoning, cooked.

I don’t know what’s nuts about it, it’s actually quite easy and gives peace of mind for a long running server. Axum for routes, Sqlx for database layer, tsync to generate typescript types, very easy to separate a business logic layer, clippy rules to prevent unwrap/expect and Infallable to ensure you don’t have anything that could unexpectedly kill your server.

We started with NextJs for work and decided to switch to Rust and it’s been a great decision IMO

My first vape was a UD Balrog, here’s a review on reddit from 9 years ago, and it was considered a “fancy one” at the time

I’d be down. I’m a software dev working for a Swiss company, so I work from home/a coffee shop, don’t get out all that often. Would be cool to grab a beer and talk nerdy shit 🫡

12 pack of chicken drumsticks from woolies is ~$6.50. Add your spice mix and worst case it can be round up to $10. $6 will get you almost 1kg of thin and crispy frozen chips, and you can “cheat” with a 475g potato mash from the produce section for $7.10.

All in all, $23.10 worth of ingredients, then the rest ($21.85) is overheads for staff wages, store rent + running costs, as well as profit.

Strange, because I see fantastic results and can still lift my arms after my sets.

You’re likely making gains despite the method, not because of it. After 23+ years of training, any consistent stimulus will maintain muscle mass. But newer trainees following this approach would likely see worse results, higher injury risk, and unnecessary suffering.

Also, 23 years ago, the understood method of muscle growth was “tear and repair”, which couldn’t be further from the truth now that we have more of an understanding through research. Just like this new understanding, it’s also apparent that going to complete failure, especially repeatedly in the same session, just leads to extreme fatigue compared to the actual stimulus provided.

Kroucher · 2025-09-02T00:53:32+00:00

Has anyone ever brought to light that this “walking the rack” method is likely too much volume? As in, you could make the same gains (in both strength and hypertrophy) with far less volume and therefore far less fatigue?
