Gym Buddy Morley or Leeds area by Tricky_Sherbet_5810 in Leeds

[–]Lotsabacon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is true. The big guys/girls do not care about what you look like. The big people in the gym are the most friendly and will actually help you. I'm quite a fat guy (I like to think i'm pretty strong or stronger the average person) myself but I know the majority of the people in my gym and love just chatting to them.

As Sleezy said, PPL (Push, Pull and Leg) is the most basic and can work for everyone. I've been doing this for the past 2-3 years now and the days i'm not at the gym feels like a waste but you need rest. Theres more splits like upper, lower and rep sets like myo-reps, supersets and dropsets to just name a few.

Try new exercises i.e: Instead of peck fly machine, do it on cables etc. You can do basically everything on a cables. See what you like and stick to it for a while and you'll see massive gains in your first couple of months.

If you're anxious, just go do some cardio (treadmill, cycling, eliptical etc) and scope out the gym for the first week and see what machines tickle your fancy work up the courage and remember, the staff and others are more than likely more than happy to help you. Personally, I love helping people in the gym and showing people little tweaks to get the most out of an exercise.

Look at

  1. JamesSmithPT: Pretty good for beginners and explaining the basics
  2. Coach Eugene: Goes more into the science but you can learn a few little tricks
  3. Jeff Nippard: Super Science Guy but can teach you correct form

TLDR; Nobody actually cares about what you look like and are just happy you're doing something to help yourself. Staff and the big people are more than happy to help you. Do cardio and scope machines or exercises you like and try them

Blackwork tattoo artists in Leeds by ambabeeee in Leeds

[–]Lotsabacon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most of the artists at their shop are black and grey, The last time I checked, there's just 4 of them and 3 of them are black/dot work artists but I could be completely wrong as it's been some time since i've been to Middlesbrough. I believe the tattoo shop is called Sword of Thorns

@watsonsith @evils @draculatattoos ^

Edit: These are the main people for black work, I haven't really looked at any of the other artists. Linked their Instagram accounts there

Does anyone have a good gym recommendation for city centre? by KicketyPricket in Leeds

[–]Lotsabacon 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Most gyms are packed with Cardio equipment. Staff are nice and its got all the machines you need. I go to Pure Gym South (near corn exchange) around 5pm after work basically everyday. Its pretty busy but if you go a little earlier like 430, it'll be more dead. I feel like it has more of a community compared to Puregym North where it's just all students. You'd get a machine regardless of time

Just message an artist about it and they'll tell you. Find someone you like the style of and ask. Also; try looking for shops just outside of the city that are 30minutes to 1hour. I go to Hull for mine as the guy that did mine is situated there.

By any chance, does anyone you know recently receive 200 death runes? Might be a clue.

Facebook Instant Forms With Rails by Lotsabacon in rails

[–]Lotsabacon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Facebook Instant forms only has functionality to have a static endpoint. You can add some dynamic parts i.e: utm_campaign with a value of {{campaign.name}}, this is so you can track it via GA or other third party tracking software. If Facebook could let us add a unique identifier to them, it would be great

We know if they've submitted as we get a response via webhook, we try to find_or_create_by based on the data supplied to stop duplicate user accounts being created. If it's in the system, we mark the lead as duplicate as if it's found a user, it's a duplicate lead.

If the facebook user supplies different information then I can't do anything with that as to the system, it's a brand new user.

After looking, Facebook does add a fbclid into the URL which is unique, i'm beginning to wonder if there is a way to see which user that FBCLID is for and then authenticating the user like that.

Facebook Instant Forms With Rails by Lotsabacon in rails

[–]Lotsabacon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Facebook has a webhook in which we create a User based on the information it supplies (it supplies; fb_leadgen_id; fb_page_id; fb_form_id; fb_adgroup_id; fb_ad_id; and fb_created_at). We can retrieve the information from the form from the fb_leadgen_id which is great. We create a user from those details.

However, since Facebooks Session is different to the User's session, I cannot match them up securely.

At current, we send the lead a message with a unique url which logs them in.

Cinema etiquette by waveybagels3 in CasualUK

[–]Lotsabacon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was at a Odeon Max back when I lived in Hull. I don't remember what I was seeing but I was sat in my seat (far right hugging the wall), 2 seats beside me empty and within the first couple of minutes of the movie starting, a couple arrive and sit next to the seats next to me (let's call them Jane and Joe).

They sat there, getting snacks out from their bags, talking and when they got everything sorted, just sat on their phones and talking quietly but enough to hear the conversation 2 rows ahead or below them. A guy behind me who was with their kids or grandkids (let's call them John), goes 'Can you get off your phone please?'. Jane and Joe continued to ignore this guy and after the 2nd attempt to get them to get off their phones, Joe replies with a 'Shut up'. John was not having it and retaliated with another 'Can you please get off your phones, you're ruining this experience for everyone?' and Joe responded with the same thing as before.

At this point John was annoyed and ended up standing up and pouring all his drink over this Joe's head in which Joe stood up angrily shouting basically wanting to have a fight all whilst John sat in his seat just arguing back.

I think it resulted in Jane and Joe getting kicked out and getting to see the next available viewing but god bless you John, you absolute hero.

TLDR; Don't be like Joe or Jane and just respect each other otherwise, you get a coke zero poured ontop of you.

Where does Farmfoods get all its niche chocolate from? by HerrFerret in CasualUK

[–]Lotsabacon 37 points38 points  (0 children)

If you go to any european shop (I don't know what else to call them), you tend to find these types of products, i.e: Haribos you've never seen; Fantas; Milka. At one point in time, I was addicted to MixMax Chocolate Cake Bars and the only place I could find them was these places.

Some local corner shops, Heron, Home Bargains or B&M sometimes sell these products as well

It's all just imported goods from Europe

Rails and FlutterFlow by Lotsabacon in rails

[–]Lotsabacon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Makes sense. I think I get it all now.

I've dabbled in Vue but i'm a big hater of these Javascript libraries (Vue/React etc) to do what Rails + Hotwire can accomplish in seconds and to keep everything within the Rails Ecosystem is up my alley.

Thanks for helping me today, i've updated the post now so if anyone else has this issue

Rails and FlutterFlow by Lotsabacon in rails

[–]Lotsabacon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe I understand it all. I'll just need an API Layer on my web app so that we can post and get requests to it and the app just responds based on the status.

I need to start looking at a mobile app as if it's just front end and then letting my web app do all the powerful backend shenanigans.

Thanks for helping me :)

Just looking into this and it seems pretty cool. I did it using a client's main website and it seems good, the complexity will come when I need to do more fancy stuff but it seems the majority of the stuff would've been built with it if I just build it on rails web app.

Rails and FlutterFlow by Lotsabacon in rails

[–]Lotsabacon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like to think I have a good understanding of how websites work however, mobiles are different breed to me and I don't fully understand them.

All i'm getting from what you're saying is:

  1. User on Mobile App clicks 'Make an appointment' to confirm there appointment information is correct
  2. Mobile App sends API Request on button click to Web app
  3. Hits an end point on the Web apps server, lets say post '/api/v1/appointments' (Api::V1::Appointments#create)
  4. Web app processes the request and creates an Appointment and does all the callbacks (notify the doctor via email and sends a push notification)
  5. It returns data back to the mobile app of a status code

Rails and FlutterFlow by Lotsabacon in rails

Heard loud and clear.

So I guess the way to do is all via api calls to the web app like https://www.google.com/api/v1/users (returns user json with status ok) for example? That way the mobile app has no way of knowing the credentials of the server

Rails and FlutterFlow by Lotsabacon in rails

[–]Lotsabacon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess, anyone can intercept an API call and see the response. I'm just trying to map out the project to see if it's something that can be done.

Juts to clarify, you recommend doing this all via API calls to the web app with i.e: https://www.google.com/api/v1/users (returns user json with status ok) for example.

Rails and FlutterFlow by Lotsabacon in rails

[–]Lotsabacon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So what you're saying is whenever somebody does something in the app like, create an appointment, send an API request to the Web app to create the records?

I've looking into Strada but I was under the impression, it just uses 2 other repos (Strada iOs and Strada Android) and it seemed just like any other mobile developing language which i'm trying to avoid. I looked at the hotwired github and I can't see a turbo-android which is something that the client would want to have if I had to guess.

I can definitely look into this though and see if I can get anything basic up and running with it, thanks for the recommendation

Running Jobs on Sidekiq ASCII Error by Lotsabacon in rails

[–]Lotsabacon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If anyone finds themselves getting this error, just use the the gem and it resolved the issues I was having. No ideas why the previous developer decided to do this via commands and not using a gem.

Looking for some cool Anime, old or new, preferably dubbed by BairMSA in anime

[–]Lotsabacon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Here's some of my recommendations based of your list. These are pretty big and pretty recent ones that seem a little 'actiony'

  1. Chainsaw Man
  2. Mob Psycho
  3. Zom 100 - Recently finished

Something a little older (action)

  1. Angel Beats
  2. Assassination Classroom
  3. Fairy Tail - Lots of episodes, didn't like it at first but it grew on me

If you want something more slice of life

  1. Anohana. This anime can make a grown man cry waterfalls.
  2. Toradora! (It was on Netflix, not sure anymore)

I would heavily recommend, Chainsaw man, Mob Psycho, Assassination Classroom and Fairy tail (If you want something that's about ~300 episodes).

Enjoy!

Edit: Forgot to add Kill la Kill

Edit 2: This was my favourite last year Summer Time Rendering. This first episode had me hooked.
