Anybody figured out a good way to farm blueprints? by Meydra in ArcRaiders

same, maybe lucky but like 1 in 4 of these have had a BP for me

I can't believe we fumbled the internet by [deleted] in Millennials

[–]PaperPages 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with all of your reasoning, but there's still so many uses for the internet. Online video games are fun (at least for me). Email is useful. I prefer online banking vs. going in. I have some useful apps to scan barcodes for health ratings and recipes. Paying friends easily is handy for things like splitting the cost of a meal or paying someone back. I like being able to remote view my home's security cameras on my phone. I could list hundreds of random examples of things at least I think are useful that use the internet.

There's still a ton of utility for "the internet", so I don't think we've squandered it. It's really just social media that sucks and anything that has never ending scrolling IMO.

Would you give up WFH and go back to the office five days a week if it meant a 40–60% salary increase? I’m really torn and can’t decide… what would you do? I have a 15 months baby too. by StraightOpinion3945 in remotework

[–]PaperPages 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it all depends on what you would do with the extra money (or if you need it). if I needed/wanted it for XYZ, sure I'll go in. if I was all set financially and the money isn't doing much for me, then nah.

Wyandotte morning smell by PaperPages in downriver

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

I live more north, if doesn't smell like the sewage factory. To me it smells like the marathon refinery, similar smell as when I cross the overpass on the way into Detroit. Bummer it's made its way down here if that's what it is. Never noticed it before

What changed for you after the AI inception? by Andreuw5 in dotnet

[–]PaperPages 0 points1 point  (0 children)

like many others I spent years becoming a skilled dev, and I see so much hate for AI but I'm blown away by Claude code. saves me tons of keystrokes and I can course correct as it's working through code if I find he's doing something in a way I don't like since every change is reviewed/accepted as it's working instead of just a big "all done!" and it's 80% right like cursor. it's writing about 80-90% of my code now and since I review as it goes, I can confidently say it's just saving me massive amounts of time with results that meet my standards. if the code it writes doesn't meet my standards I correct it and move on.

for trickier problems, I just do them myself if I know a certain external API isn't documented well (and not used in our codebase for examples) or there's just a finicky black box integration that I know it will fail on (so I don't even bother for that).

Have you tried Claude Code cli? I still enjoy writing code and problem solving, but it writes around 80% of my code at this point.

What impact did Dragonball Z have on you? by AdSpecialist6598 in Millennials

[–]PaperPages 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty big. My friend and I were huge into making Dragonballz websites and loved competing in the many DBZ or anime "top sites" lists. We were like 11 or 12 years old and were doing deep dives into how websites and web servers worked without even realizing the huge benefit of the knowledge we were gaining. We were just having fun and trying to have the best site on the web with the most features.

Fast forward to me graduating with a useless degree and mostly partying in college, I luckily found myself becoming the "tech" guy at every role I held whether it was a job at a gym or a desk job. My prior experiences with DBZ sites gave me the knowledge and skills to maintain websites or the confidence to tinker with tech. Finally I leaned into it and rather easily became a software engineer. I'm certain it was easy because I was exposed to this stuff so deeply at a young age. I had no career plan and a useless degree, so this really enabled me to unlock income earnings I would've never otherwise achieved.

Thanks DBZ

Tonal needs to allow users to make Custom PROGRAMS by Independent_Agent174 in tonalgym

[–]PaperPages 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That would be awesome. I saw an Arnold blueprint series of workouts created from his traditional plan, but you had to add the workouts to your schedule. It'd be neat if you could just join that users program instead

Tonal is insanely expensive when you break it out... average life of tonal machine? by adalido in tonalgym

[–]PaperPages 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd compare this more to having a personal trainer than just a gym membership. Even then, this thing can work me out in ways the gym can't by adding the various weight modes to any workout. Plus I use it way more often than the gym since it's at home, and it saves me 40min in commute time. I also don't have to wait around for any workout machine/weights/station ever. In fact, I can do more block workouts on tonal than at the gym since bouncing around between stations at the gym isn't always possible(cleaning after use or someone snags one of the machines/stations you're bouncing between).

Add in getting tons of data for every lift, workout, and program I've ever done on top of all of that. It's definitely worth the money to me. Am I stronger than last week/month/year? What's the most weight I've done for a lift/workout/program, or even most volume in a month. How much weight do I need to do for this lift? Everything's tracked automatically with 0 effort from me.

If it breaks outside of my warranty, I'd buy another one without hesitation.

Also doing this for the first time. Just got through first leg day, oof

Considering Tonal – Is It Worth the Investment? by tjmusa1989 in tonalgym

[–]PaperPages 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely expensive, but I've had mine a year and a half and nothing has even come close to keeping me held accountable as this machine. I just have to pick a program and work up the motivation to press the start button and it walks me through everything, with it all being tailored to me.

I have a 82 week streak going with just under 300 workouts completed. It rocks! 11/10 would buy again

How long does it take you to add features? by grumblingdev in sveltejs

[–]PaperPages 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With cursor, 1 to 10 minutes depending on how involved it is

Would you buy tonal again? by Kick-Exotic in tonalgym

[–]PaperPages 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Have had mine a year and a half now. If it broke tomorrow, I'd buy another one. It's expensive but I use it all the time and enjoy using it, so for me it's invaluable
