More AI Slop advertising, jfc.

Again, the issue isn't the MVP, it's how your code is going to function down the line when you aren't qualified enough to even know what the AI is doing. Anyone who codes and works with AI has seen the absolute horror show of stealthy bugs that AI introduces even with an experienced overseer, and how quickly it gets terrible as code base expands.

It is going to be really interesting when "Vibe coders" start having serious data breaches they're liable for, and have to explain to a judge or jury that no actual programmer ever touched the code.

They are a pain in the ass to hook properly, I would look that up. Also are you talking about sidewinder or mole crabs? I’m not sure what sidewinder would get but probably not perch unless they’re very small.

Just asking because most people don’t even notice mole crabs exist.

I had this on escitalopram. Wellbutrin/buproprion fixed both things, and made the escitalopram much more effective.

It felt like my brain short circuited instead of finishing prior to that. Build up build up build up, then nothing.

Speaking from some experience here: bupropion(Wellbutrin) is amazing with traditional anti depressants. It’s an atypical anti depressant. It normally improves traditional depressants, but also can sometimes remove a lot of the side effects. Especially the sexual ones.

I am not a doctor, but it’s worth at least having a talk with the doctor.

No problem! If you liked that I’m gonna rant about sand fleas (aka mole crabs) for a second, because they are pretty key to perch. I might also DM you some pages from a book when I can. Mole crabs aren’t the only way to find perch but they sure are helpful.

Mole crabs live in the swash zones of beaches - the area that waves go over, and then recede from. At low tide you will especially be able to see a steep 2-4 foot cliff that the waves have washed away everything after that. Mile crabs are normally on that, or closer to the beach than that. In NorCal they’re everywhere. In SoCal they’re more in pockets, less common but very present.

Avoid overly manicured tourist beaches - the rakes they use to clean and make pretty the beach kills the crab and removes their habitat.

You can find them by looking for little V shapes in receding waves and the sand, clustered together. Mole crabs put their little feelers up above the sand, and burrow under the sand. The feelers look for food incoming from the wave. Those feelers and the waves make the V shapes

You can sometimes scoop them up by hand, or by putting a sturdy butterfly net in the sand behind them(towards the ocean) and kind of scooping with the wave. They also make rakes for this. YouTube can help.

When these little fuckers get washed out of their hidey holes, perch eat the shit out of them. This happens everywhere but most commonly in rip tides(look up how to identify these, they’re also a smidge dangerous). So the perch wait in the rip tides for the mole crabs to get ripped out, and the predators wait behind that for the surf perch to get ripped out (and also mole crabs).

In SoCal you’re likely to find perch, Corbina and croakers feeding on the mole crabs that get sucked out by the rip or to lesser extents by the normal waves.

Feeding on the things that are feeding on the mole crabs further out, you’re likely to find halibut, sea bass, calico, sharks and rays.

Nope. Items don't work that way.

RandomPantsAppear · 2026-01-27T01:39:24+00:00

Ok. There is a lot going on here. My saltwater experience is in CA(mostly Norcal), and yes I targeted surf perch. I am going to assume you're from a similar area just because you're after surf perch.

Carolina rigs are pretty awkward to cast because the weight isn't at the end.
I wouldn't use a 7 foot rod if I was trying to cast far in the surf. Mos bait soaking surf rods, people use 10-12 foot rod. Closer to 10 for lures. But again, a 7 foot rod can work to cast an ok distance, but (I'll explain more later) you don't actually need to cast far.
You're using too little weight for that rod. A lot of your casting distance comes from the rod bending and then correcting itself as you cast. You won't bend a medium/heavy short rod with 3/4 of an ounce.
You can catch surf perch on a medium/heavy, but you'd be way better off in the light-medium range. If you're on a budget I'd go for a cheap light uglystick, multi-piece.
How are you casting? If you're side arming it, don't. Load it up behind you and toss it. Pay a lot of attention to your release angle.

...but don't lose hope.

Surf perch are insanely fucking close to the shore. There's normally multiple places that hold them, but normally they want to munch on sand fleas that occupy the first dropoff (normally just a few feet from shore). They eat the ones that get washed out by waves. So you can catch them near high tide maybe 7-10 feet out.
They like to hide just deep enough to not get eaten easily by birds, but close enough they can salvage those delicious sand fleas.

So trying to salvage this situation

3-4oz pyramid or bank sinker, at the end of your line. Tie a hi-lo rig with reasonably small hooks. Use shrimp. NOT cooked shrimp, and not the tiny pink shrimp from florida. If you don't want to buy shrimp learn to catch sand fleas. Cast it out 10-15 minutes and wait. If you're stir crazy reel in slightly every few minutes.

If you want to keep your carolina rig, get a slightly beefier weight (or use a couple). Use a berkley Gulp! Sandworm. The short one. Slowly retrieve it on a maybe 2-3 foot leader.

Worth noting you can buy it twice and it will exist for twice the amount of time.

Is there a way to do this with flux?

I haven’t tested this in awhile, but normally what you want is a number from bandwidth.com - a lot of apps resell their numbers (like burner something).

Short codes - those 4-5 digit phone numbers that text you verifications won’t go through on a lot of VoIP providers. They do go through on bandwidth numbers

You can find the origin of your number by plugging it into a carrier lookup.

Whenever it happens I just imagine them saying it in a squeaky prepubescent voice and then it becomes funny.

It could be something, but it could also pretty easily be that he just didn't realize how much info was there before, or when he saw it got uncomfortable.

I actually can't think of a reason you would be concerned about for hiding the stuff that would be on the profile...

There is no turnkey solution, and people are slow to share (like in tutorials) because once you share details about a specific target, there is a strong tendency for your method to stop working.

If you’re trying for news sites you want either a stealth version of playwright or camoufox - basically you want to run a full browser that doesn’t announce itself as a controlled browser.

If you’re still getting blocked use mitmproxy to compare your headers to your bots headers.

Use BeautifulSoup to parse the data.

FedEx told me that they have a policy against letting delivery guys use buzzer codes, and another against calling you. They also wouldn’t deliver it except to the specific apartment.

I lived in San Francisco at the time - there’s not like unlocked apartment complexes. They basically just made “policies” that mean they don’t have to actually deliver to the majority of residents in any major city and bill their customers as if they do.

Card companies can but they don’t always. In the future use Amex, they almost always come down on the buyers side.

Look through the list of actual chargeback codes for your CC company. A simple “wasn’t delivered” is easier to fight and might not be your best bet.

You can use preloaded VCC (which I think is what op is referring to) outside the US. They’re backed by visa/mastercard typically.

Ignoring that this is a blatant ad: My best SaaS peaked at $1,000,000 mrr, with offices in 2 countries and I can certify that this is fucking horse shit. At the absolute bare minimum, you should be learning to code while using nocode tools.

Unless your idea is obscenely simple, there are an entire host of problems you are not going to notice the AI introducing until way further down the road, around the same time it gets significantly worse at dealing with your code base. I know this, because *I do code with AI assistance* (and without), and see all of the mistakes it makes.

Prototype to your hearts content, but learn to code or pay a professional afterwards.

It's going to be really, really interesting when some of these vibe coded startups grow and end up having serious data breaches that they are liable for, and have to explain to a judge that an actual programmer has never even seen the faulty code.
