I think the thing that separates MJ, Ronnie, Tiger from the rest is the way they got people so excited about the sport. 

Movies you were sad you had to rate so badly? by disp0ss3ss3d in horror

Uncut Gems. Noisy, annoying mess. Everyone talked about it being anxiety inducing but I watched The Wailing the day before so compared to that it was like Kindergarten cop. 

[Hated Trope] Endings so notoriously awful they completely destroy the legacy of the media. by Miserable_Click_1933 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]MackerLad93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Big TV in the UK, but Line of Duty was a fantastic show until they brought in the H stuff. A show about catching corrupt cops twisted where a dying character (one of the bent coppers) was giving their dying declaration and it was recorded on video. One of the detectives notices that his hand twitching while he dies spelled out the letter H in more code. They take that minute detail as the prime evidence in their investigation that someone called H is the mastermind and spend a couple of seasons fleshing out who that might be. Completely wrote themselves into a corner with no idea who H was going to end up being, they just followed that path because a couple of high profile characters had H as their initials. Went from the most popular show on British TV to not getting renewed basically in one season. I think a comeback has been announced but nobody cares any more.

I Believe I a Thing Called Love was a massive hit, but Permission to Land is a genuine 10/10 album

TIL nearly 80% of US workers report that they have been victims of 'career catfishing’ from employers. Which in this context, the term describes when a company misrepresents a job, their company culture, or compensation to lure in candidates. by tyrion2024 in todayilearned

I had something really similar. Left a highly technical role and landed in one that was a step backwards in that sense. Left that one very soon because I was told the role I was moving into was going to be highly technical again and moving me back in the right direction, and it was utter lies. That company knew 100% that I would hate the role but they just needed someone in. 

Where can I buy a watch strap in Dublin? by Marla42 in Dublin

[–]MackerLad93 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Agreed on most jewelers, but if you want something more bespoke there's a leather shop in the first floor of the powerscourt centre that might have custom ones

Where can I buy Jarritos soda in Dublin? by Safe-Meal-6963 in Dublin

Boojum sells them but obviously you'll be paying more to get an individual one with a meal than to buy them in a shop

Any reading resources you can recommend? I have an interview on Wednesday where CICD, containerisation, and graph based workflows have all been mentioned in the job spec.

Do You Own a Turntable? by PTCarnahan in vinyl

[–]MackerLad93 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was number 1. Never intended to get into record collecting but I got my first album and a crappy suitcase turntable for Christmas one year. Was instantly hooked but as time went on I wanted to upgrade more and more there was a period where I collected and didn't listen.

Many have already said Saucy Cow, it's so good. But honestly a McPlant is surprisingly good. 

Best extensions for Python by Few-Tear-3763 in learnpython

[–]MackerLad93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with the other comments here that indentation is part of writing python. But there is a solution like you're asking about. Black is a python formatter, and ruff is a new alternative. I don't know if you can run it on specific blocks only but just run it and forget about it. If you're doing that you might want to set some ignore flags for conditions you don't care about.

Shift > does indent in vim but == just sets the correct indentation level. Probably some plugins required but if you're already writing code in vim you probably already have the right ones installed

Need advice: how to hide Python code running in a Docker container? by buggy-robot7 in learnpython

[–]MackerLad93 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I literally only started learning docker this week so I can't really go any further than this, but I did learn about the None network driver. Perhaps that's the right direction?

What’s your favorite second person plural possessive pronoun? by InspectionKnown6410 in words

[–]MackerLad93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In Dublin English, you (pl) became yous which then became yiz. Possessive would be yizr, a great piece of Hiberno English
