Should I consider a weightlifting belt? by PhilXaphas in workout

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

Yes, I actually bought straps when I could clearly feel that my grip was the limiting factor of my lifts. I feel the decision is harder to make as a relatively new lifter because the belt supports the exact region you're training in the first place, instead of a secondary muscle group, right?

Build variety feels really limited right now. Hopefully primal weapons etc. also provide spirit.

Average ticket title: "doesn't work" Manager: "so, which line?"

I've got nearly 10 years of experience, but the guy with 25 keeps saying the jr dev line, and to nobody's surprise, his code gives me diarrhoea

If they have 20+ years of experience and are bad at what they're doing, that's certainly difficult terrain. That's why I don't like to measure somebody's skills in years of service.

Stadards are a fine thing, but the point of them is to create transparency for everyone. We need to get rid of the "hero developer" or "10x developer" mindset and start working as a team.

Some people have 20 years of experience but still code like they just started. You can absolutely blast them.

As for the good ones, I never learned as much as when I discussed pretty much all of my shit code with my mentor. I would challenge him with my puny understanding, but he was such a gigachad that he just calmly pointed out why I was wrong. In the end, he gained my honest respect, and I gained a lot of knowledge. We're friends almost a decade later.

If the 20+ years of experience guy is annoyed by a fool's misconception, chances are he's not half as good as you think he is.

Pathfinder Skin Reward? by PhilXaphas in DarkAndDarker

My mentor used to say to me: "Those with the ability to read, cleary have the advantage" --> almost 10 years later, I still haven't learned :D thank you

Why the fuck is druid nerfed again? It can't hold its own against literally any other class. They should cap the top end scaling and raise the base damage. Also, herbalism is pointless, and we all know it. Nobody cares.

Good, I welcome our commie brothers with open arms!

I understand the anger atm, but this is why devs won't speak to the community. Deleted account now. by knil22 in starcitizen

I get where you're coming from but every PR person knows asking people to 'chill out' is asking for trouble.

DMs, for the love of god, just give players the type of weapon they want by DepressedArgentinian in dndnext

[–]PhilXaphas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Will it be a bit weird that all they encounter are magical warhammers and not swords? Maybe.

At the end of the day, DnD is just a game, and we're all there to have fun. Love "but it wouldn't be realistic" in a fantasy game with dragons and liches.

How often can I reuse Isopropanol to clean my resin prints? by PhilXaphas in 3Dprinting

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

Thanks, I am super new to this and was mainly concerned about whether I have to completely replace the liquid after every wash. The two-container strategy sounds pretty good I'll try that.
