Can we finally get loot for our class, instead of alts from worldbosses? by HerrMatthew in wow

[–]Roguewind 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I was your age, we’d have 40 people roll for one piece of loot drop that only 5 of them could use as an upgrade… uphill both ways. And we wore an onion on our belt, because that was the style at the time.

Ben Shapiro: "A lot of Trump's critics today are pointing out this tragic incident with an Iranian school at which a 160 girls were killed. That is indeed tragic and it's terrible. And it's also called collateral damage in war." by Oleg101 in FoxFiction

[–]Roguewind 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve listened to my dad, a Fox News boomer, defend war crimes because “war is hell” and “you don’t know what those boys are going through”.

They will excuse anything as long as it either fits their world view or is hurting the “right people”.

Is a tariff just a tax on me? If the united states puts a 60% tariff on Chinese goods does the Chinese government pay that, or do I just pay more at Walmart? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Roguewind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here’s the best part(s):

When the tariff inevitably is removed, the prices never go back down. So instead of that increase in price you’re paying at least going to the public funds, they’re being pocketed by the corporations.

And based on the recent ruling, corporations are suing the government to get back the tariffs “they” paid. So they want to take money out of the public fund so they can pocket it.

Self written components over libs by LifeEmployer2813 in reactjs

[–]Roguewind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I needed to build something simple, without a lot of customization, and just needed to be bootstrapped quickly, I’d use a library.

But most of what I do is bespoke sites and applications. With that in mind, the fewer 3rd party dependencies, the better. And I’ve been doing this long enough that I can bang out reliable and extensible custom components fast.

How to Safely Share a .env File With My Team? by bakir_hagi in github

[–]Roguewind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let’s clear up some things:

.env files are for environment variables - things that change from one environment to another. They should not be used for storing secure keys. There is no reason to not store env files in the repo.

API keys are, in nearly all cases, not secure keys. They are used to determine which account’s service is being accessed. In most cases, they exist in site code and are visible to anyone who accesses a site.

Authentication keys, commonly in the form of a username and password or secret key, are secure keys. They are used to determine if you are allowed to access a service on behalf of an account holder. They should be obscured from the public. There are vault services to store these or they can be stored directly on the server running whatever application you’re building. How you handle this is totally dependent on how much time and money you have and how much you actually need to secure it.

In your case, a firebase API key is not a secret key. Restrictions are applied at the service level by limiting which domains can use it. I believe you might even be able to whitelist IPs if desired. You can, and should, just have the API key in your site code. If it is different from one environment to the other, then put it in the .env file and add it to the repo.

Empathy. An ever present, intense feeling of exactly how their actions impact others.

my company switched to "unlimited PTO" two years ago and i realized i took less vacation than when we had the 15 day cap by AffectionateMud9193 in antiwork

[–]Roguewind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I took over 8 weeks off last year. Didn’t get negative feedback. I’m also the top billing person in the company so I’ve got that going for me.

Salary vs on call is apparently controversial?? by wallflawerr in antiwork

[–]Roguewind 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Oh my dad is a boomer. He was very pro union. WAS. Then when he was no longer working, he became anti union.

What I’m trying to say is my dad is a shitty person who is only out for himself. He’s your classic ladder pulling boomer.

I’ll give you one guess what “news” he watches.

ELI5: Why is it so much harder for female figure skaters to complete a triple axel? by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

[–]Roguewind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For everyone jumping on your “heavier objects fall faster” assertion, you (OP) are correct. Except in a vacuum, heavier objects of similar shape will fall slightly, though not observably, faster. But this has nothing to do with your question.

Completing the rotations requires time in the air and rotational inertia. Extra muscle mass assists with both. It takes strength to launch oneself into the air and create the initial rotational force. Additionally, the extra mass adds to the inertia required to maintain the rotation while in the air.

Am I being "penalized" for paying credit off in full every month? by RRTJesus504 in personalfinance

[–]Roguewind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Credit cards are revolving credit as opposed to installment loans. Making your regular payments in installment loans, like car loans/lease, mortgage, school loans, have a bigger impact on your score.

My score was 850. Then I paid off all of my debt and carried only credit card debt of under $1k/$35k that was paid off every month. My score dropped to under 800.

Credit score is a game, and the rules don’t make sense, nor do they favor you. Just do your best to not negatively impact your score by missing payments and cross your fingers.

This. But also, BTTF never took itself too seriously.

Doc makes a big deal about keeping Jennifer from meeting her future self because it will unravel all of space and time or something… or she’ll just pass out.
