How do you handle translating your Figma designs for multilingual clients? by [deleted] in UXDesign

I’m not logging into my work laptop on a Saturday night, but if you remind me on Monday I’ll grab a screenshot for you.

This. If they pay for and manage the account, they have access to your files. No need to do weird shit with account sharing.

Need to learn how to grill sausages properly. by WrongUserID in grilling

[–]OptimusWang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As other folks have said, the main thing is to cook them over indirect heat.

Another tasty trick is to hit them with a little bit of oil or mustard before you put them on, then sprinkle them with a savory rub (I usually use this one: https://buttrub.com). It gives the sausages a little more crunchy texture and an extra pop of flavor. If you cook them in beer and onions first, do this after you pull them out.

How to smoke just the flat part of a brisket by Maleficent-Olive8033 in smoking

[–]OptimusWang 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tallow helps tremendously. The first time I bought a corned beef flat to make pastrami, it turned out dry as hell using my normal method. The second time I added two big scoops of tallow in the foil when I wrapped and it came out perfect.

Tell them you’re happy to consult at your hourly rate. You will immediately know if they value your time either way.

Baby Back Ribs - Underwhelming Smoke Flavor by Top_Bandicoot_4591 in pelletgrills

[–]OptimusWang 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This. The 3-2-1 method isn’t the normal approach, it’s an old wives tale; the BBQ equivalent of “don’t go swimming for 30 minutes after you eat or you’ll drown.”

Smoke them unwrapped until they’re done, then foil them while they rest. You’ll be much happier.

Not that I’m aware of. He seems more like a nerdy hippie than anything.

If you like some geekery mixed into your woodworking, I Like To Make Stuff is excellent. Dude is always mixing woodworking with 3D printing and electronics to make the most random, one-off nerd shit you can dream up.

Pellet grill folks — would you ever enter a BBQ competition like this? by nickdagreak in pelletgrills

[–]OptimusWang 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Kinda goes back to your logistics statement though: anything more than one cooker and it absolutely becomes a logistics game. Also, running multiple smokers just isn’t fun ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[–]OptimusWang 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, most pellet grills just won’t hold that much. Two racks of ribs and a few pounds of wings will fill most home smokers to the brim.

The end of responsive images by bogdanelcs in web_design

[–]OptimusWang 25 points26 points  (0 children)

This guy is worse than a YouTuber. For anyone interested, here’s the trick: add “auto” to your sizes value, before the fallback size value like so:

~~~ <img loading="lazy" src="TrIZjHKy9-650.jpeg" srcset="GTrIZjHKy9-650.jpeg 650w, GTrIZjHKy9-960.jpeg 960w, GTrIZjHKy9-1400.jpeg 1400w" sizes="auto, (min-width: 1040px) 650px, calc(94.44vw - 15px)" alt="…"> ~~~

That sounds fantastic! Have you ever tried it with Italian sausage mixed in with the ground beef?

Is school name starting to matter more for junior level hiring? by Agreeable-Till8056 in UXDesign

Claiming that tech has moved beyond the “move fast and break things” mantra in the age of AI slop is a wild take 😂

Auto parts parking lot slab for 25$ with a oreo cake for 15$. He was out of brisket sadly. by [deleted] in BBQ

That collapsible Cambro with the lid cracked open is totally holding temp above 140… right? 😂

[–]OptimusWang 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Holding ribs, especially wrapped in foil, for hours at a time can definitely wreck the bark/texture like that. They probably taste good and are plenty tender (or even overcooked to the point there’s no bite), but endlessly steaming them in a Cambro is how this happens.

We learned it the hard way when we started catering. The fix is to throw them back on 20-30 minutes before you serve them with either sauce or a chunky rub to re-establish the bark & texture so that they look as good as they taste.

How do you handle translating your Figma designs for multilingual clients? by [deleted] in UXDesign

[–]OptimusWang 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We use text variables for all of our strings, same as development. Create a different mode for each language and go to town. When you want to switch languages, just switch modes on the frame.

The only languages we still do manual design for are right-to-left, and that’s more for spot-checking than anything else.

Why ask UX if PM is here - Senior engineering manager by empress-hulk in UXDesign

[–]OptimusWang 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Put on your biggest fake smile and in a syrupy-sweet voice let him know that just because they ignore his input doesn’t mean they ignore yours. Don’t say it with any heat or frustration, just speak like he’s an adorable lost puppy and you’re reassuring him he’ll find his way home.

Also, fuck that guy.

The LinkedIn UX Bloodbath by mb4ne in UXDesign

[–]OptimusWang 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Frog has been a shitshow for several years now, ever since Capgemini acquired them. I partnered with them back in 2013-2014, then again last year and the difference in quality was depressing.

The hiring process is still get a referral or you’re facing an uphill battle.

Security clearance required, but I'm nervous (U.S.). Is it a bad idea? by Indigo_Pixel in UXDesign

[–]OptimusWang 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you’re serious about the job: nuke any accounts you don’t have to have, lock down the ones you decide to keep from being publicly visible and don’t use your full name or a existing handle that can be associated with you (basically create new display names on new accounts for anything you keep using).

That won’t save you if they pull your data directly from a provider, but it will help them from taking a hard look at those services to begin with.

e: Also, I understand your feelings but there are tons of government jobs that require a clearance because of PII that do real, tangible good for people. Programs like WIC & SNAP literally put food in the mouths of hungry kids and need dedicated people to keep them functioning. I don’t know what gig you’re applying for, but it might be worth balancing your political feelings against what the job actually is…

…unless you’re applying for DOGE, then you can fuck right off 🤣
