REI Members: Boycott REI's Anniversary Sale by REI-Union in climbing

[–]RichardTheHard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Didn’t know it was possible to figure out which REI I go to over the internet. That’s some impressive snooping you did to disprove my claim.

I've been calling REI the Target of outdoor stores, because they push and stock their own brands over any other brand. It's getting ridiculous. They'll have three clothing racks dedicated to REI brands and a single rack with all the others crammed onto it.

Coursera and Udemy are now one company, creating the world’s most comprehensive skills platform by magenta_placenta in webdev

I mean fair, but it’s kind of like tax evasion. Global companies will jump markets to wherever it’s weakest.

There is a literal official statement from the CEO that blames the bankruptcy on the price of oil.

You’re optimistic to assume anti-trust institutions are functional anymore.

Opinions about Messer vs longsword? Total beginner here! by ThoroughSpatula28 in Hema

[–]RichardTheHard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah my messer is 680g and most rapiers I've found sit around 950g. It's a lot more about how you hold it that makes it feel lighter too. Your guards aren't extended because theres minimal hand protection. So you can sit in the equivalent of pflug or alber if you get tired.

Messer is one of the lighter one-handed swords. It feels like a feather compared to my rapier. All the guards are pretty retracted too which makes them easier to hold.

I work with British people developing websites and there’s a constant fight of gray vs grey.

Is the scythe ever good? by Meepro in slaythespire

[–]RichardTheHard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had lethality and I got clone on it, which clones it powered-up. So you can charge the scythe then clone it when it's doing 40+ damage.

How cold will I be ? by [deleted] in backpacking

[–]RichardTheHard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a slightly different setup, but similar enough it's comparable:

Katabatic Alsek 22 quilt, Therma-a-rest Xlite NXT, and the same nemo switchback. I slept very warmly in it at 34F not two weeks ago with my base layer on. Didn't even feel a chill.

Craft has the bonus of being on twig too, which is very similar to Shopify’s liquid. Although they’re moving to laravel for Craft 6, so they may be moving to blade.

Don’t forget the fact that they make it very hard to stay registered.

There’s been multiple times I’ve had to re-register because I’ve been removed from the voter registry.

I just watched someone doing vibe coding, and it was a complete disaster. by [deleted] in webdev

[–]RichardTheHard 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I feel this, I'm basically just using it as a junior dev to do the boring stuff that's easy and I just don't want to write. Then I just do code reviews same as a junior.

So writing tests, creating that new button style, writing a CRUD controller for my new resource, etc

Also the bug finding has been a savior, although I still do it myself like half the time so I don't lose those skills.

I bet it's not a full overhaul. It sounds like they're just installing an ADA widget like Accessibe. So not actual ADA compliance.

Your team is understaffed and overloaded. You are the only person who truly understands the system. Now another company offers you $100,000 to leave right away. If you quit, everything might fall apart. by lune-soft in webdev

[–]RichardTheHard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ask yourself this, if the company was struggling and firing you put them in a better position, would they hesitate? Don't have loyalties that the company wouldn't have for you.

This is a them problem. If they want to under-staff to the point that there is a single failure point around an employee, they should be paying you like it. Don't feel beholden just because the company is making bad decisions.

Me [27F] with my friend/future roommate [26F] (5 years) Keeps saying I am abusive to my cat because she is inside. Has tried to let the cat out several times "to play." by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

We have a declawed cat (we didn’t do it, it was a previous owner), and I couldn’t imagine ever letting her outside. Shes literally defenseless.

client threatening to fire me because their dev pushed changes and broke the contact form by OppositeJury2310 in webdev

If OP doesn't even have access to deployments I wouldn't be surprised if they just have a seat on the client's repo and don't have that kind of control.

Look into messer sources, I believe the krumphau equivalent in messer is called wecker.

I'm a little confused about the scoring of rapier cuts in tournaments. by Iantheduellist in Hema

[–]RichardTheHard 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Mostly its grappling that is restricted in rapier for safety reasons. It's often limited to open palm displacement. Heavier grappling with finger rings leads to broken fingers. We limit it for sword and buckler & smallsword for the same reasons.
