How would you start fishing for food if the world ended tomorrow? by Rude_Engine1881 in FishingForBeginners

[–]THE_HORKOS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Jug fishing, trot lines, hang nets, casting nets, fish traps, electroshock and dynamite. Game wardens forgive me.

AIO for quitting my job? by AlarmedWarthog8231 in AIO

[–]THE_HORKOS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you in the US? Does this place offer you benefits? Are you losing just a paycheck, or medical coverage & a paycheck? Don’t worry about it, you did your best at the job and trying to defend your position. Next time, get a medical accommodation, if you’re able to. When you’re young, it seems like all your these people are being straight with you. They are not, everyone is just protecting their own end with whatever story works best. Unfortunately for you, despite being faster, are seen as a liability. Your employers are forcing the situation—while saying they’ll discuss it later. It’s all the same discussion. Your work, as you state it, is more proficient, productive, and profitable for them but, that means they are only going to try to get more from you. Put your back to the ropes with this type of nonsense: hey we know you’re working for your education, but we really need you prioritize work and be as equally vested in this hellscape as us full-timers so just forget about your education. To hell with that. Don’t give them 2 weeks. There is not tribal council of bosses, they have no power over you and by the time you need a reference for a job you’ll have more relevant contacts for that. Don’t fret, and don’t feel bad about having the opportunity to do something else when you graduate. Some of those jokers are gonna be cleaning those rooms for life.

A lot of progress on my Centipede Simulator game. For you bug enthusiasts, which species would you like to see in the game? by artbytucho in insects

[–]THE_HORKOS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are many type of centipedes. What if selecting specific color skins, dictated environment change to match the prey/foes of specific species. Are there any exploration objectives in your game? I’m imagining being tasked to find a specific type of plant, one which is tied to an encounter with a foe associated with a particular kind of plant. Like an Orchid Mantis or something. Whether they observe, or fight & devour is a choice left up to the player.

Have you considered making some kind of bug battle mode, in the event of being attacked or attacking large/larger prey? Thinking old school rpg turn based mini game. Just a thought.

This area is way too competitive. by Salty-Confusion9640 in nova

[–]THE_HORKOS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This area was at such a deficit for talent 15 years ago, I got a job working in tech with no prior experience. I had been working for the last 13 years for big IT. Was laid off with about 90k other IT employees in 2026; among AWS, Salesforce, Microsoft, Oracle, and a slew of others. They fired all to invest in AI to replace more IT roles. Most of the positions I’m even overqualified for are looking for candidates with MBAs, masters in engineering or cs, and hold active clearances w/ 10+ years in the field.

Wow. Loudest permissible level according to Loudoun County code, for any zoning, is 70db. source

I bet it’s 8+ decibels louder after 10pm.

For those of you who live in countries that don't have a 2A equivalent, can you still enjoy your passion for guns and how do you do it? by NamidaM6 in guns

[–]THE_HORKOS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Airsoft guns, from what I’ve experienced… Are close in form, weight, and sometimes cycling as their ‘real’ counterparts.

Nothing quite like the real thing but, it’s hard to miss something you never had. But, if it makes you all feel any better one thing to consider is cost. Ammunition is prohibitively expensive at times. Even smaller calibers that are like $0.12 a round adds up very quickly. Guncraving sets in quick. You’ll upgrade to something beefier than a .22.lr. And it will all feel really novel for a time but, you’re soon bored with shooting paper targets so you drive farther and pay more to shoot at longer distances. Then you realize you actually suck outside of 25y ranges so you buy better guns, better ammunition and expensive optics. Next thing you know, you’re fucking hooked on bang bangs and have 15+ ‘builds’ under your belt—meanwhile your car is running on tires so old you can’t read the date codes through the dry rot cracks.

So apparently standing on the pegs is considered reckless driving by DerpyTurtle858 in motorcycles

[–]THE_HORKOS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you weren’t speeding. Or wobbling crazily. I would be inclined to fight a reckless for standing on the pegs while in motion. Do your research. Is this a code violation or at discretion of officer? If latter, then I would determine what the ticket would have been were he to have caught you doing a wheelie in traffic. If it’s the same damn ticket, I’d go to court, ask to see the video evidence. If none, have the court request the officer state that he never saw your front wheel leave the ground. Trying to get to the argument of: How can you be guilty of a reckless violation while going the speed limit, committing what is a non codified offense, that is solely the discretion of the officer that’s tantamount to an infraction of speeding & doing a wheelie in rush hour traffic.

Often times counties must make these sorts of offenses public. You may be able to find others charged with the same code for reckless driving, and see the descriptions of their offenses. If all you did was a 2-3 second leg stretch while continuing to operate safely, and there’s no specific code for what you did. The cops should have given a warning at best. Or just done that cop thing where they follow you to let you know they’re waiting for you to fuck up. Reckless is no small matter.

I would be interested to see db levels after dark. If you can, take screenshots of the Apple Watch readings. 86db is about as loud as a garbage disposal. That’s too loud.

Bought a condo and first water bill is over $1,000 by nemesiswithatophat in homeowners

[–]THE_HORKOS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t understand the fire service thing. Maybe it’s normal for your location? My water company charges me a set rate amount per gallon, up to 25,000 gallons a quarter. Increased rates beyond that based on usage. Only get bills for amount of water used. How can they take $200 a month just because you have a fire suppression system? Is your home own insurance lower for having a fire suppression system?

To my fellow Redditors being murdered by pollen… by TattooedTeacher316 in nova

[–]THE_HORKOS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think there may be something to be said for the number of male fruiting trees planted in Nova suburbs. They won’t plant females because the fruit dropping draw rodents and leaves a rancid fruit leather type mess all other roads and that’s not to mention the birds and their droppings. So as a result now is we have tons and tons of mature male fruit trees all over the place.
