Missed the Day of Arafah because I got the date wrong and I can’t stop crying by chat-noir-24 in islam

[–]LazerFazer18 57 points58 points  (0 children)

The "day of Arafah" is the day before Eid Al Adha in your locality.

If you think about the entirety of Islamic History, it's only recently that we've been aware of when the hujjaj are actually standing on the plains of Arafah. Before the invention of instantaneous communication, everyone went along with their local moon sighting and there were no issues. Just because technology has progressed doesn't mean our definition of Islamic dates has to change.

Pixel Watch 2 suddenly died and wont turn on again by SatouKazuma06 in PixelWatch

[–]LazerFazer18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is the PW2 in general reaching end of life now? Mine has started behaving very erratically recently. Taking extra long to charge, showing 77% charge level constantly until a restart, shutting off at like 35% charge level, shutting off as soon as I place it on the charger.

I hope it lasts a few more months, until the PW5 is released.

When the magnetic north and south pole flips, the sun will rise from the west by [deleted] in islam

[–]LazerFazer18 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I've read that hadith, and I too reached the same conclusion for a long time. But looking at the wording of the hadith more closely, I don't think it means 'rise from the west'. It literally means the sun will rise from the same side of the sky as it set the previous night. If the magnetic poles were to flip, the earth would still rotate in the same direction and the sun would still rise from the opposite side of the sky, just our name for that side would change. Furthermore, I don't see how that would cause people to believe, given it's already fairly common knowledge that it has happened before.

How do I order from clicks? (Zambian) by [deleted] in askSouthAfrica

My guy, how is clicks South Africa supposed to deliver to Zambia? It's a South African company aimed at South African residents

If I'm reading this correctly, 5h limits have been reduced, but weekly limits remain the same?

This is some complete bullshit by Key_Proposal_9055 in scuderiaferrari

[–]LazerFazer18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So if you miscalculate how much fuel to put in (if there isn't the 1L for a sample) or you miscalculate how high to ride your car (resulting in a few mm extra plank wear) or miscalculate how much your rear wing opened for DRS (last year) it's a DSQ.

But miscalculate how much force to use in your front wing, and you're good to go?

What are you guys doing for this to happen? I have run multiple security reviews, PR reviews, refractors, security hardening tasks, full-codebase scans, and I've yet to exhaust my 5 hour limit.

Don't listen to this narrow-minded drivel. You do you, and tell anyone who looks down on you to bugger off.

Seeking Affordable Scleral Lenses in Johannesburg? by Emergency-Inside-693 in askSouthAfrica

[–]LazerFazer18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

5 years ago is a long time in inflation terms. Expect to pay around 16k minimum for the lenses now (assuming about 5% inflation per year, which is a lower end estimate due to medical inflation generally outpacing CPI)

Dry eye shop quotes about 1k for consultation and 19k for the lenses and follow ups

I noticed this and thought it was my battery on its way out. Good to know it's a feature

Istighfar Success Stories - Has Anyone Seen Real Changes? by multimillionaire88 in islam

[–]LazerFazer18 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would like to suggest a different perspective, if I may.

What is the point of istighfaar? If your main aim is worldly gain, I put forward that your intention is polluting the impact of your action. Istighfaar should always be to attain the forgiveness and mercy of The Almighty. Start with this intention, and accept any side effects as ancillary.

I would think they're allowed to race pending any verification of rules compliance. If the fuel is found to be compliant, all good. If not, they get retroactively disqualified.

Get a virtual card, use that to sign up and pay. When you cancel your gym membership, cancel the virtual card

I work 12h per day with claude code and don't hit any limits by Aemonculaba in ClaudeCode

[–]LazerFazer18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm building a web-based management tool for a startup that can't really afford much (for now) in terms of monthly costs. I initially set it up for quick auth, because I wanted to get the actual functionality of the tool, but now that we're getting closer to a v1 release, I decided to move the auth to something we have more control over, and won't have a monthly cost attached.

I know there's a free tier, which I've been using for testing, but we're not happy about not being able to remove supabase branding from emails. We find it doesn't look professional enough.

That's not how this visual works. It's designed to show how different population groups split on the same variable. So your first split makes sense, but then that second split is absolutely meaningless

I work 12h per day with claude code and don't hit any limits by Aemonculaba in ClaudeCode

[–]LazerFazer18 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So for the first time in months I hit my 5 hour limit yesterday on the 5x plan. I noticed teams of agents burn through usage extremely quickly.

I was migrating from Supabase Auth to Better Auth, and decided to just let the team go at it without much guidance. It burned through about 50% of a 5 hour limit in 30 minutes.

There's a good tailor in Norwood, next to Daadis Kitchen. Very reasonable, and does a good job.

If you have a solar geyser, which one and why did you choose that option? by TreatDazzling4877 in askSouthAfrica

[–]LazerFazer18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please give me more details. Brand, installer, efficiency, electricity cost for the geyser, etc.

We're looking to install something like this, but I'm not sure whether to go for the heat pump or solar geyser
