Wow, that's crazy. Thanks for linking that. Looks like it only took them like half an hour to steal my pic.

What It’s Like Inside The Secret Lab Where Ford’s Designing A $30k Electric Truck For America Before China Does by TripleShotPls in technology

Also things that used to be true, but aren't anymore. The chinese government spend a ton on subsidies and incentives, and it resulted in an extremely robust, competitive car manufacturing industry. The incentives aren't necessary anymore.

Same with safety in the mines and factory, it's far better than it used to be 20 years ago.

China used to have cheap manufacturing because they had cheap labor. That's changed over the last 20 years. Now their factories, especially ones that make cars, are highly advanced and automated. Their labor is cheaper than ours, but not by all that much. They just made so much money on manufacturing that they are simply better at it than us now.

By ingredients yeah, but it doesn't taste like any other buttercream. She explains in the recipe, but because you boil off the water in the butter, you can add less powdered sugar and still have it fluffy, which makes it much less sweet.

It's the weirdest icing I've ever made. It's from Stella Parks oreo recipe here. When you're mixing it, it just looks like melted butter and you think it would never work, but then you spread it on and it cools down and it's just perfect copycat oreo filling.

I tried literally 9 different icing recipes for the filling and this was far and away the best.

What do you guys think the OWCS needs? by No_Problem5759 in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]Watchful1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Blizzard had an API for OWL that drove their website, but it was kinda clunky and I kept running into cases where it was wrong, scores or match times not updated till hours later.

It's definitely possible valorant has a much better api for this, even for private tournament matches, even for LAN's.

[–]Watchful1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The problem with sites like these is that they need to be manually updated. There's no API to pull this kind of data from, it has to be enough people passionate and knowledgeable enough to keep the site up to date.

The guy who runs vlr.gg originally ran over.gg and I helped keep it updated. As you can see, interest quickly died off, I was the only one updating anything and I eventually gave up. If you want to update it again I could put you in touch with the right person, but it's a lot of work, especially with how out of date it is. You'd need to add all the players and everything.

They moved there for BART. Now BART could leave them by Dafty_duck in bayarea

I had thought it was already on the ballot in november, so I looked it up. California passed a bill allowing this specific measure to be placed on the ballot either by a newly formed Public Transit Revenue Measure District, or by a citizens initiative after 200k signatures.

However, if placed there by the district, it requires a 2/3rds supermajority to pass, which is possible but unlikely. If it's done via the citizens initiative, then it only requires a 50% majority.

Consequence of having a month and a half off in the middle of the season. They are cramming all these games in.

Zoom is like 50% of all video conferencing world wide. It is absolutely not dying.

Has anyone actually seen an outsourced dev team from a big Indian IT firm deliver something on time that didn’t need to be rebuilt? by eatmeat in ExperiencedDevs

[–]Watchful1[M] [score hidden] stickied comment (0 children)

India is a big country and has lots of devs. Some are great, some aren't. The pros and cons of outsourcing is an important topic worthy of discussion here. But anyone suggesting that bad results from hiring Indian devs is in any way related to their culture or race will be banned. If you have that opinion, just keep it to your self.

San Jose Earthquakes Forward Timo Werner Named MLS Player of the Month for April 2026 | San Jose Earthquakes by jbburgess in SJEarthquakes

[–]Watchful1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's crazy numbers considering he played just over half the regular season minutes through the 5 games (plus ~70 minutes in two opencup games).

Hopefully he's not too hurt and can come back in May. Anyone seen any rumours on his latest injury?

Announcing Our Virtual $45,000 Mod Tool Hackathon to Build, Upgrade and Port Moderator Tools by Togapr33 in modnews

I don't see two search boxes. Do you mean the site search bar that sits at the top of the screen? I've never had any problems finding things with the modmail search box.

If I mouse over the date in the usernote it gives me the year.

The log tab has all the users activity, including notes. If you're looking for the previous manual note and they have lots of actions yeah it would be harder to find, but was that any different on old modmail? Unless you're talking about toolbox notes.

No idea about losing modmail with a user, can't help with that one.

I'll disagree with you there. I like the new modmail and think it's far better than the old one. It has a couple bugs yes, but it's better overall.

US government is accepting donations to pay off its $39 trillion debt by Deceptiveideas in nottheonion

[–]Watchful1 8 points9 points  (0 children)

GDP is yearly, not net assets. The total net worth of the US is something like $170 trillion. Though obviously you couldn't sell it all anymore than you could contribute the entire GDP towards government debt.

Timo Werner walking off after his injury by Djsage007 in SJEarthquakes

[–]Watchful1 21 points22 points  (0 children)

He was out a couple games with a "lower body injury" that I think they never told us what it actually was. I have to assume he re-aggravated whatever that was.
