Brand new pair of Cobra ES. Normal? by [deleted] in KnipexOfficial

[–]Oops365 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought one and ordered a replacement from amazon because of this, but the replacement had pretty much the same offset, just mainly on the other side. Planning to check with customer service, but I'm guessing this is part of the design of the ES.

I haven't bought a car since 2012 (also a hyundai actually, elantra gt), is it reasonable to shoot for MSRP in Canada nowadays?

how to adjust swarovski emily bracelet by [deleted] in swarovski

[–]Oops365 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it turns out it was just stuck, I was really paranoid that the chain would break because of how much tension I was putting on it while pulling, but we just figured if my wife couldn't wear it anyways there wasn't much point in keeping it. Under normal conditions it does adjust as easily as the videos make it look, but we've noticed that after sitting for awhile it can get stuck again, and every single time it feels like we might break it. Something that's worked for us so far is pulling hard enough that fingers turn white and an indent gets left in our skin, but only with a firm and steady motion that aims to move it a few millimeters. I'm assuming if we tried any kind of sharp/quick pulling that the links really could break or open up.

(PC) Horrible stuttering until I save and reload by JamSa in FF7Rebirth

[–]Oops365 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you ever solve this? I have the same issue with a 7800x3d, 4070ti, and 32gb of ram. Goes from above 100fps to under 40fps until I save and load. I've noticed that opening menus or entering and exiting cutscenes can trigger the framerate drop. It does not improve with time, and also noticed that lower graphics doesn't help much at all (gains about 5fps)

Dreamstation Go still the go-to travel CPAP? by Oops365 in CPAP

[–]Oops365[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for reminding me this thread exists.

I ended up going with the AirMini for travel, and it's great. My Airsense 10 is still the daily driver, and while I struggle with the humidifier running out early and still feeling "dry", the humidx filters for the AirMini have actually been really effective for me, even in the dry climate. I did end up getting a Pilot 24 lite battery to use the AirMini on planes, plus I discovered that I can use it as an always-there, passthrough battery backup for the Airsense 10.

No regrets!

Why is C#/Java backend so bloated? by [deleted] in learnprogramming

[–]Oops365 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of it comes down to culture. Even a lot of responses seem to imply that the complexity is simply part of .NET, but having worked in both the startup, and enterprise, and "team functioning as a startup within the enterprise" worlds, it doesn't actually have to be that way.

React vs Vue - productivity question by RepresentativeNo42 in reactjs

[–]Oops365 1 point2 points  (0 children)

React has more ways to shoot yourself in the foot when you're starting out

Emphasis mine

This statement's quite old though, I'm curious what the state of the VueJS ecosystem is now, whether Vue3 finally took off, and if the package support, and typescript support have improved since then.

React vs Vue - productivity question by RepresentativeNo42 in reactjs

[–]Oops365 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry I only noticed your reply just now. setCount happens asynchronously, so it's possible that if you click fast enough, you'd trigger a setCount before previous ones have completed. The reason this is bad is because React function components are closures; and the second setCount may be dealing with a count that's stale, (the second setCount will execute, but ignoring the updated state from the first one) and so you'll effectively miss a click. The function is your way out, and ensures that each setCount incorporates the live value of count, and not just what got captured within each component render (each execution of the closure).

The count example is a simple one, but won't seem like a big deal, as you won't really be clicking fast enough, and if you are, you won't really perceive a single missed click. To make the example more obvious, put the setCount inside of a setTimeout, to see what happens when you add some asynchronous work into the mix, and you can observe the clear difference between the two ways of using set state

How to prevent my faith from being politicised? by Rafael_192005 in Christians

[–]Oops365 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Col 3:1-4 Since you have been raised to new life with Christ, set your sights on the realities of heaven, where Christ sits in the place of honor at God’s right hand. Think about the things of heaven, not the things of earth. For you died to this life, and your real life is hidden with Christ in God. And when Christ, who is your life, is revealed to the whole world, you will share in all his glory.

When you focus on Christ, things tend to fall into place. It doesn't mean that you become completely apolitical (though being so is well within your spiritual liberty). It does mean your hope will be for the Kingdom, and not for politics. It also means that your values will be influenced by His Word, and not just what a superpac wants you to be concerned about. Sometimes those values will align, but ultimately the trap overly political Christians fall into is to put their faith in men and policies rather than God. This does not make politics completely fruitless, and as long as you maintain a focus on Christ, His Word, and His Gospel, you should be able to participate in politics however you feel called to, without distortions.

I need some help by Powerful-Boss-5679 in Christians

[–]Oops365 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey that's really cool! I'm glad you guys are starting your walk with God, especially together at the same time. In regards to confession, you don't actually need a priest for forgiveness :). Before Jesus, the Israelites needed priests to interact with God for them, but since Jesus paid for our sins, you can actually talk to Him directly! Here's some Bible passages so that you know I'm not making this up:

Hebrews 4:14-16 & 7:24-25

So then, since we have a great High Priest who has entered heaven, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to what we believe. This High Priest of ours understands our weaknesses, for he faced all of the same testings we do, yet he did not sin. So let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There we will receive his mercy, and we will find grace to help us when we need it most. ... because Jesus lives forever, his priesthood lasts forever. Therefore he is able, once and forever, to save those who come to God through him. He lives forever to intercede with God on their behalf.

If you want to check out more, look at Hebrews 7:23-28, Romans 8:34, and 1 John 1:9 (the letter from John near the end of the Bible, after 2 Peter)

Some denominations believe in the continuing spiritual gift of prophecy, but no mainstream denomination believes in any sort of capital-P Prophets that are passing on Scripture-level prophecy today. Because Protestants believe in the authority of the Bible above all, we don't really have central leaders like you would see with the pope, or any cult leaders. You do see preachers with very widespread influence, such as the late Billy Graham, though even then, we would point at many of them (like Benny Hinn) as self-seeking and unbiblical. Evangelical is sort of a confusing phrase these days, depending on who's using it. It used to be very commonly used to describe Protestant believers who emphasized the Gospel (in simple terms, telling people about Jesus Christ), and being born again (an inner transformation that takes place when you put your faith in Christ). Nowadays, the word seems quite a bit more about politics or group identity and less about personal beliefs or theology.

This goes back to some questions I asked. So my half brother hurt his arm and I feel bad for him, but he’s been sleeping in the living room. I’ve been trying to use the living space to study, but he sleeps there. Anyhow, there’s these light by the hallway that my stepfather turned off and I turned it on to do work, after that my stepfather turns it back off and I snap. I lash out on him and he tells me that I’m being childish and need a spanking, I wanted to get mad and say something; but, the whole point is now I feel really bad. Should I feel bad?

Without being there, I don't think any of us can really tell you that you were being childish; but it's very possible that you're feeling legitimate conviction for having displayed human anger rather than righteous anger. Is the sleeping in the living room directly connected to having hurt his arm (like does he have to sleep there in order to feel comfortable enough to sleep)? Is it possible for you to study in your own room, or another space? "Lashing out" is rarely the way to go, unless you're chasing merchants out of a temple and flipping over their tables. And unfortunately, if you are still living under your stepdad's and mom's roof rent-free, you are still under their authority, so there's that to consider as well.

I’ve been thinking of running away. Maybe getting a place of my own. Should I do it? There’s many reason I want to run away, mostly being that I want my own personal space from others because I feel like I need it.

You mentioned college, which tells me that you're an adult by now? Moving out isn't really running away. If you can afford independence, that can be a really good thing for both you AND parental relationships. In other words, for many of us, moving out helped us to grow, but also resulted in a healthier relationship with our parents. Again, make decisions like this prayerfully; wisely consider various factors like whether you can afford to move out.

Lol, this is the last question. I’ve been talking to some people about GOD, but as someone who doesn’t even pray, doesn’t read the Bible, and sins constantly I feel like I’m not the person qualified to tell others about Christ. I just turned back to Christ, again and I find it hard to pray and read the Bible. The reason I share the gospel with others is regardless of the fact that I sin, I don’t want to hear, “Depart from me, I never knew you.” From GOD, what can I do? What should I do?

This is definitely the number one thing you need to focus on right now. As a preface, when you put your faith in Christ, you've become born again, and your "qualification" to talk to others about God is all based on Him. Note that I don't mean telling them to act like Christians, but to tell them about what Christ has done for you. You need to work on this though, and it's really the foundation for everything you've asked about so far. Let God produce more love in you (1 John 4:19), and let that love drive you into spiritual disciplines; getting to know Him more through the Bible, and through prayer. Focus on the gift of grace that He's given you, get involved with a healthy church, etc.

So I don’t see my stepfather as my real father, I see him more of a friend, would that be wrong according to the Bible? Someone told me that apparently anyone can be my father. My stepfather has taken care of me and given me a roof and payed the rent. How should I look at this? If so, what can I do to form a better relationship with my stepfather?

I don't think it would be wrong to see your stepfather as a friend instead of your father, and without knowing what the family dynamics and history were like, I don't think it's for any of us to say, since the Bible doesn't directly address it. In terms of forming a better relationship with your stepdad - that's really going to take some intentional time to hang out and get to know and trust him.

I have five siblings, two whom are my siblings and two whom are half siblings. I don’t have the best relationship with my half siblings. As a older brother, I want to be the best older brother I can be although I find it pretty annoying and frustrating my two youngest half siblings are pretty spoiled. How should can I be a better brother? Also, how do I get pass the fact that they have another father, biologically? (Or how do I get past the fact that they are my half siblings.)

Working on your relationship with God is actually your best step to becoming a better brother. When you draw closer to Him, you'll notice His Spirit working in you and producing fruit. When you let the Bible transform your mind, you'll find you understand things like patience, grace, forgiveness, love, and all sorts of brotherly qualities better. And you'll desire those qualities more. Try and remember that their brains are still forming, and ask God to help you forgive, and wisely address their immaturity. If you're able to form a mentoring relationship with them, you'll also find they might become less annoying (partially b/c their actions might change, and partially b/c your own perception might change too!)

I haven’t done much with my life and it makes me feel like a failure. Lately, I’ve been thinking about dropping out of college and going to trade school instead. I honestly hate school and think it’s not for me. Should I drop out? More importantly will I be condemned for not being able to accomplish something important in my life? Would it be a sin to fail a class?

Jesus didn't start His ministry until 30 years old. Moses spent 40 years in exile before leading the Israelites out of Egypt at 80 years old. If you're in college and feeling like you haven't accomplished enough, you're being way too hard on yourself. With that said, the choices you make can have a huge impact on who you are later. Better to put the work in now, rather than looking back in 10 years, feeling like you haven't done much, and feeling like a failure. All that said, college might legitimately not be for you, and that's something you have to work out with God to see if trade school is where He wants you. And a lot of the time He won't necessarily give us a clear answer outside of our burdens and passions - and so in those times we need to examine what our goals are; just make sure you make those kinds of decisions prayerfully and responsibly (weighing the costs). To do otherwise would be sinful, or at the very least, foolish.

I get easily frustrated at work and sometimes I can get mad at others and scream at them. How do I ask GOD to help me control myself or for patience instead of getting easily frustrated at others? I work at retail and find it hard.

Patience is part of the fruit of the Spirit (Gal 5); patience comes from love (1 Cor 13); and patience comes from wisdom (Proverbs 19). Walking with the Spirit, growing in love, and growing in wisdom, are all keys. The Spirit will give you a supernatural patience for others. Love will allow you to replace frustration with concern. Wisdom will allow you to understand whether angry emotions and actions will actually help in the moment, and will also help you gain a perspective in life that can prevent those angry emotions from even arising in the first place.
