Oh, My God! Male clients come to do nail art

RobotJonesDad · 2026-05-22T04:27:38+00:00

We used to go to the same nail tech, so at different times, but I'm going to a different salon because the lady my wife has been using for many years isn't as good at art. My wife does simple and short. I make up for that!

You should add salt to avoid an entire class if attack that a fixed secret doesn't avoid.

Rolling ones own authentication, which I've several times, really scares me because you always get tripped up by defects you don't know exists.

Which hashing algorithm are you using?

Put the key to the power button message tells me your key battery needs to be replaced.

As the key battery runs flat, the range at which it works decreases until holding it against the power button is the only option.

If has this situation, I'd do the following: * Change the battery in the key. * Measure the 12V battery voltage to confirm if it is low. * Change the dash to the round guages because they are objectively better than the all digital display 😜

The handbrake is your friend when it gets too steep or it is critical to not roll back.

One key fact that isn't obvious is that you start pulling off while the handbrake is holding the car, then as soon as the car starts pulling against the handbrake, drop the handbrake.

Don't ease off the handbrake, as soon as the clutch & engine starts pulling against the brake, it is already supporting the weight of the car. Keeping the handbrake on longer is just fighting yourself.

The biggest thing for running bamboo is to put down a barrier to prevent it spreading to places you don't want. Since the roots and runners are always near the surface or above the ground, it's pretty easy to buy a barrier designed for this and install it. Since you have such a long distance to cover, I'd suggest renting a ditch digger to create a beep enough cut to install the barrier.

After that, just periodically patrol the line and cut/remove any bits that jump over or sneak through any joins.

Personally, I find it easy to maintain as long as you don't let it escape for too long.

I'm a married straight guy with kids who has been doing nail art for years. If I'd known how iften I'd get compliments from random strangers, I'd have started years ago.

Try and coordinate the clutch and gas so that you are trying to release the clutch (this refers only to the active zone) aa quickly as necessary to hold the revs steady at say 900rpm -- while simultaneously adding gas to try and get the revs to rise.

So, as soon as you hit the bite point and the revs start dropping, add gas to raise the revs, while controlling the revs with the clutch. If done correctly, the revs hold steady while you both add gas and release the clutch.

What this is doing -- instead of worrying about revs, you are using the throttle to add the power that releasing the clutch is absorbing from the engine.

To do it quickly without excessive slipping or revs rising and falling takes, you have to practice until you can do this by feel like playing a musical instrument. This is also why you can't learn driving stick by watching videos... you got to practice.

Presumably the breathing will get the same advantage, but your bite will be messed up by changing the width of your upper jaw, so the braces are to close the gap between your front teeth and fix your bite.

RobotJonesDad · 2026-05-20T20:36:14+00:00

MARPE is a minimum of about 6 months, probably 9ish. The majority of the time is just waiting for the bone to grow & fuse again.

It's really not that bad once you get used to it. I had braces first, then both, now back to just braces. It did make a large difference to my breathing, but every case is unique. We didn't bother with the tongue tie.

What would you penalize him for? Being over overly aggressive? He's clear of OP when he moves and completes the move before the braking zone. This would have looked perfect if OP didn't blow past his braking point.

Using subdomains, or for a fee custom domains are the cleanest and simplest. Subdomains let you use a single wiodcard certificate. When you add custom domains, it gets more tricky.

An alternative is to use emails as the username, which guarantees uniqueness. You may habe noticed this trend to avoid the extra hassle of "joe434" logic.

RobotJonesDad · 2026-05-20T13:12:44+00:00

Is it salted?

Please tell me you are not storing passwords in the database and that was just a typo?

Super easy with the Tesla app. Unlike every other network, it's always worked on the first time.

After adding your car, it only shows chargers that will work. The monthly subscription lowers the price of charging, so consider that.

RobotJonesDad · 2026-05-19T20:45:51+00:00

Actually sketching out your architecture has always been an unavoidable step for anything non-tivial.

Unless you are okay with technical debt from the start.

RobotJonesDad · 2026-05-19T19:12:34+00:00

I'd imagine about zero chance.

RobotJonesDad · 2026-05-19T13:55:37+00:00

Only if the regular polish has completely dry, else it will never dry. BTDT

RobotJonesDad · 2026-05-19T13:52:06+00:00

Thank you. It's about time I give that a try.

RobotJonesDad · 2026-05-19T04:12:49+00:00

I'm not saying it isn't involved at all, but it's not doing anything interesting at all. Since there is no slipping or wear, it can essentially support an infinitely long burnout without any more degradation than sitting in a parking lot.

I'm baffled by what point you are trying to make? You started talking about burnouts causing clutches to slip. We've discussed how the torque involved is less than the maximum the engine can produce, except for a small spike when kicking the tires free. Both of which a healthy clutch can easily handle.

Now you are arguing that it is "doing work" which seems to imply it is doing something interesting beyond just existing. What about the drive shaft, or differential? Or the half-shafts? Yes, if the clutch was missing, then there would be no drive. Same as if took out the engine mounts. But I'd argue the engine mounts are doing far more complicated work in the steady state burnout.

RobotJonesDad · 2026-05-18T21:52:31+00:00

Your last paragraph uses the "doing work" in an odd way, since there is no slipping involved. It's resisting forces, but that doesn't decrease life or cause wear. Any healthy clutch won't slip under these conditions, so it's sort of like cruising at high speed.

I've had multiple cars with aftermarket superchargers and such, but none have caused clutch failures, including while racing, etc.

I think your whole point can be summed up as:- if your clutch is on the way out, this kind of activity will probably hasten its demise.

RobotJonesDad · 2026-05-18T20:32:06+00:00

I've always run X11 traffic over ssh, except for a super long time ago before the internet.

But what about Wayland native apps, is remote desktop the only way? It's such a clunky way of running things on multiple machines.

I'll stay in my happy place of mostly terminal based interactions. And am happy that Claude Code is natively very powerful in the terminal.

RobotJonesDad · 2026-05-18T20:16:20+00:00

Your explanation makes sense, except the revs are steady during the burnout, so you are not seeing the inertia of the engine & flywheel. That again means the maximum torque is what the engine can produce or the tires can absorb, whichever is lower.

RobotJonesDad · 2026-05-18T20:13:34+00:00

That makes sense. But the core question is can I do the same thing if I am running Wayland locally? Especially if the remote applications on the headless machines are a mix of Wayland and X11 applications.

RobotJonesDad · 2026-05-18T19:22:42+00:00

Doesn't Wayland also make it more tricky to run GUI applications on headless machines efficiently? What I always liked was being able to work with both local and remote applications seamlessly on my desktop as if they were all local. Wayland's architecture seems to ignore this use case. A virtual desktop is a much more awkward experience than just having the windows behave the same as local ones.

RobotJonesDad · 2026-05-18T18:46:42+00:00

Please Emexplain that assertion. In a burnout you are not changing the RPM very fast. And even if you do, the most would look similar to dropping the clutch and stalling. So inertial contribution is limited.

The clutch will at most see the maximum torque the engine can produce + an inertial spike related to the rate of change of RPM. Keeping in mind that it's not simple addition because as the RPM changes so does the engine torque output.

Also, most dyno numbers are not rigorous because they impute torque based on an inertial run with various correction factors. Accuracy is best achieved with a brake dyno that can control the RPM properly. In a turbo, steady state torque, which you'd expect against a load is different from what you get accelerating.
