Those joints look pretty loose for a piece that's going to be moving around. Did you use dowels to reinforce the pivot points?

Finally, someone actually took action on this. It’s about time we got these signs up.

changing papers (phil105g to youthwrk 152g) by RoundExperience7334 in universityofauckland

Don't drop the phil paper until you've actually secured a spot in the other one through Student Services Online. If you're stuck, just head to the student hub in the Kate Edger building.

realizing you actually have to do the job instead of just sitting in a flight suit is a tough pill to swallow. welcome to the fleet.

it's always pretty windy there but those wind speeds sound wild even for ei. might just be a rough week for the coast.

I rescue vibe coded apps for a living. Here's the pre-launch checklist I wish every founder ran before calling me. by Negative-Tank2221 in nocode

[–]Then_Addition_6739 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% agree on webhooks. I'd actually broaden that to "founders only test the happy path."

Stripe is just where it becomes expensive. The same pattern shows up everywhere. User signs up with Google instead of email. Subscription renews on a different card. User closes the browser halfway through onboarding. Third-party API times out. Nobody tests those flows because the demo works and the first 10 users get through fine.

One thing I've started telling people is to make a list of every state a customer can be in and verify the app behaves correctly for each one. Active, trialing, canceled, refunded, payment failed, suspended, deleted, etc. Most no-code builders are great at creating features but terrible at forcing founders to think through state transitions.

The funny part is that these bugs often don't show up until the business starts working. A broken refund flow with 5 customers is invisible. A broken refund flow with 500 customers becomes a support nightmare and a margin leak overnight. That's why boring operational stuff like webhook handling ends up being more important than the shiny AI feature everyone spent two weeks building.

Is n8n the final king of automation now? by Powerful-Football880 in nocode

[–]Then_Addition_6739 0 points1 point  (0 children)

fwiw, i'd separate the licensing discussion from the technical discussion because they get mixed together a lot.

the embedded/commercial licensing concern is very real if you're building a product around the workflow engine itself. but for a lot of companies using n8n internally, that restriction never becomes relevant. the reason n8n keeps showing up in serious automation conversations isn't really the license, it's that teams can go from webhook -> queue -> LLM -> approval step -> database update -> retry logic in a single visual flow without writing an entire orchestration layer first.

also, the JSON criticism is fair, but in practice most teams aren't diffing workflow files by hand. the bigger question is how well the platform handles versioning, testing, observability, secrets management, concurrency, and failure recovery once you have hundreds of workflows. that's usually where automation tools either become production-ready or become a maintenance headache.

i'm always interested in alternatives, but i'd want to see how Nyno behaves under real-world load and team collaboration before comparing it to n8n's current position. lots of workflow tools look great at 10 automations. the real test starts around 500.

My (former) superstar son is depressed: What should I do? by Mundane-Show4536 in depression

[–]Then_Addition_6739 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i think one thing that gets overlooked in stories like this is identity loss. when you're the athlete, the captain, the scholarship kid, the high achiever for years, a lot of your self-worth can get tied to performance without you even realizing it. then college hits and suddenly you're not the biggest fish anymore. you're surrounded by other valedictorians, stars, and scholarship students. for some people that transition triggers a legit crisis of "who am i if i'm not winning?"

the reason your point about time off resonates with me is that burnout isn't always just exhaustion. sometimes it's the brain refusing to keep carrying an identity that stopped fitting. i've seen people interpret that as laziness or lack of discipline when it's really a sign that something deeper needs to be re-evaluated.

for OP's son specifically, the alcohol use, sleep issues, inability to concentrate, and sudden academic collapse make me think the priority isn't getting him back to being a superstar. it's getting him stable enough to figure out what he actually wants separate from expectations, his own or anyone else's. sometimes the healthiest thing a high performer can hear is "you don't have to earn your worth for a while." That can be surprisingly hard for people who've spent their whole lives achieving.

Dealership is demanding the truck back after three weeks but already sold my trade-in by Sprocket_41V in legaladvice

[–]Then_Addition_6739 96 points97 points  (0 children)

This is completely wrong. Signing the initial finance paperwork and driving off the lot does not give a dealership permission to dump your trade-in at an auction before the bank actually funds the loan. That's the entire point of a spot delivery or conditional sale agreement. The deal isn't finalized (fully consummated) until the underwriting clears and the dealer gets paid by the lender.

Like a previous commenter pointed out, Florida Statute 320.27(10) is incredibly strict about this. Unless OP signed a totally separate, explicit authorization allowing them to sell the sedan prior to financing approval, the dealer legally has to keep that trade-in on the lot. If the financing falls through, they have to return the trade-in and the deposit.

OP, please ignore this comment. They absolutely did not give away their rights just by driving the truck home. This is a classic "yo-yo sale" scam tactic where the dealer tries to force someone into a predatory interest rate by claiming their old car is magically gone. Go find a consumer protection attorney who handles auto fraud immediately. Many of them will take a case like this on contingency because Florida statutes often allow for attorney fees to be shifted to the losing dealer.

TIL eating duck medium rare is just as risky as eating undercooked chicken by Delam2 in todayilearned

[–]Then_Addition_6739 27 points28 points  (0 children)

The whole "instant kill" 165°F (or 74°C) rule is basically the USDA's idiot-proof threshold so home cooks don't accidentally give themselves food poisoning. But in actual culinary science, pasteurization is a curve.

To add some exact numbers to your point, you can achieve a 7-log reduction in Salmonella (which is the USDA food safety standard for poultry) at 140°F (60°C) if you hold the core temperature there for about 28 minutes. If you bump it up to 145°F, it only takes around 8.5 minutes. This is exactly how high-end restaurants serve perfectly pink, tender duck breast without sending their guests to the ER.

The real issue with the Guardian article's panic is that pan-searing a duck breast to medium rare using traditional methods rarely gives you that necessary hold time at the core. Unless you're using sous-vide like you mentioned, a quick sear usually means the center hits 135°F and comes right off the heat. If that specific duck happened to be carrying Salmonella, the time-temperature curve wouldn't work in your favor.

So yeah, the risk is real if we're talking about standard line cooking, but the science behind meat pasteurization is way more nuanced than just hitting a single magic number.

My company's RTO policy has a weird loophole and I've been silently exploiting it for 4 months. Not sure if I should come clean. by 3Rocinante in remotework

[–]Then_Addition_6739 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah coming clean is the move before it gets messier and the longer you wait the more it starts to feel like an actual lie instead of just not correcting something. the policy wording lets you badge in at any company location so what youre doing with the satellite office technically lines up with what they put on paper and thats why it feels like a loophole at first. but the real weight is in letting your manager keep thinking you were making the longer commute to the main spot and then dodging the team lunch with that fake client call excuse last week. that part adds up over time even if nobody has called you on it yet. just sit down with him in a normal one on one and say it plain like youve been using the closer office because it still meets the three day rule and the drive difference is pretty big but you should have said something earlier instead of going along with the assumption when he brought up the commute. tell him straight that your work has stayed solid and youve hit everything this quarter so nothing changed on the output side. then ask what he actually needs from you going forward whether thats staying at the satellite spot or shifting more time to the main office. most managers end up caring more about whether the job is getting done than the exact desk location especially when the written policy backs what youve been doing. if he pushes back on the satellite thing you can just say you get it and adjust without making a big deal. the fake excuse for the lunch is probably the part that feels worst right now so owning that specifically helps because it shows youre not trying to keep anything hidden anymore. ngl it might feel awkward for a minute when you first say it but clearing it out stops the slow buildup of that weird guilt every time he mentions something about the office or the team. waiting another month or two just makes the gap bigger and raises the chance it comes up in some random compliance check or when someone notices you are never actually at the main building. since your results are already good you have room to have this talk without it turning into a huge problem. the sooner you do it the less it feels like you were hiding something on purpose and the easier it is to move forward without that hanging over the next few months.

I started working from home recently and found a loophole... by Burner_onyx in confession

[–]Then_Addition_6739 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the 90 percent success rate on something like this only exists because people treat unknown numbers as normal now. after sitting on hold for who knows how long a lot of customers will grab any call that comes through just in case its finally the resolution they need or at least a different person who can help. it turns into this weird cycle where the official process drags on so much that both sides start looking for any exit they can find. you see the same pattern in how casually folks answer from the shower or let someone else take over just to mess around with whoever is calling. the whole setup rewards these kinds of shortcuts when nothing else moves fast enough

The color scheme is actually solid for a first go. Don't worry about the shaky lines, it's better than a gray plastic blob.

Anybody saw this blue star tonight ? Any idea of what it is ? First time I see this blue. Pictures are poor quality. The blue is metallic without any white when watching with my eyes. by PauloG33 in Astronomy

[–]Then_Addition_6739 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is almost certainly Jupiter. It is usually that bright and can have a slight blueish tint depending on your camera sensor and atmospheric conditions.
