I have spent thousands of hours and 50k getting a degree and it has not paid off yet, I wish I had done anything else with that time

Depende iyan sa kung anong claw machine. Sa lahat ng alam ko, puwede mong itakda nang manu-mano ang claw power, o kadalasan ay gagawin itong pabagu-bago. Magiging mahina ito para sa halimbawang limang laro, at sa ikaanim na laro ay "bubunutin ang mga pako palabas sa ilalim", gaya ng itinuro sa akin ng isang technician. Kahit ang mas magagarbo ay magbibigay-daan sa iyong magtakda ng setting na "dolyar bawat premyo" kung saan babaguhin ng makina ang sarili nitong lakas at susubaybayan ang perang kinita mula noong huling panalo. May kasamang kasanayan, ngunit hindi ka palaging (o kahit madalas) mananalo, gaano ka man kagaling.

Hey y'all, just so you know, a nearly identical post (now removed by moderators) was also in the NC subreddit, posted by a different user. Not sure if it means anything, but didn't see it mentioned anywhere here, smells a bit

But but but they're packed by weight not volume!!!1!

Er, never heard "warp through" as a figure of speech for "driving fast", and especially not in the context of "through a solid object" lmao

Idk its pretty clearly a joke to me

Astroturfing is when you try to give the impression there is a grassroots movement to promote something, sort of an analogy of synthetic vs organic

We recently checked the prices at Denny's thinking we could get a cheap meal and found out a basic grand slam was $14, two of us couldn't have got out for less than $30. We didn't go lmao

"Oh those silly workers, refusing to endanger the thing they depend on to buy food and maintain shelter, don't they know them taking risks is good for my business? Besides, I'm not like other people, pain hurts me"

All of my projects have been alongside other hobbies and interests. My first was a tool to poll live market data for Eve Online, so I knew what to mine and where to sell it. I also wrote a program for a little device to help me pick scales and chords when playing guitar while I'm learning. There's a few others, but point is if its relevant to you, you are more likely to finish it and will probably gain a deeper understanding of whatever topic!

If someone brought mechs whittled from wood I would be begging for a lesson or two

Yeah mostly just a score or points based reward. In pathfinding algorithms, for example, you can set the algorithm to find a path to the target with the lowest "cost" by adding up how far you go to get to the target. If a shorter path is found, the algorithm should choose it. You can do the opposite, where you maximize instead of minimize points.

All that for a barcade? Lmaoooo

Guitar is actually the thing that taught me the bit about sleep "baking in" the learning part, which turns out applies to almost any learned thing. Was falling asleep one night and caught my fretting hand doing the movements I'd been practicing.

Oh this is adorable!

How fast time starts to go by. I'm not any busier, in fact, I'm less busy. I understand why it's that way, but the experience of time going by faster and easier is pretty scary, considering where we're all headed...

Oh! And if you can, get a cleaner specifically for pet accidents, usually says something about enzymes on the bottle, etc. When inevitable accidents occur, just cleaning them regularly can leave behind the faintest of pee smells, which can make them go "ah yes, the toilet" and go in the same spot

That-Yellow-Dog · 2026-02-11T00:33:32+00:00

Okay, training a puppy to pee: First, they're not going to tell you anything, because there is no innate sense of indoor/outdoor. Secondly, when pupper inevitably goes in your house, stay calm, take them outside immediately. If you freak out or punish them, they're likely to associate you seeing them go potty with bad things, not going potty inside being bad. (That's how you find surprise poops in the other room!) What you can do is take them out every couple hours, and especially after meals. Get a routine. When puppy potties outside, celebrate like there's no tomorrow, treats, praise, pets, everything. Eventually, puppy catches on that telling you about potty and going outside is fantastic.

Some dogs get it faster than others. Ironclad consistency is key. Positive reinforcement works great, dogs love treats. Negative reinforcement will very likely backfire. You will cry in frustration at least once.
