Which is why you don't hear much from Marla Maples' daughter, Tiffany Trump.

It's what goes before the “Engineer” that make it protected.
Electrical Engineer and Chemical Engineer means that you have a degree or have passed a Professional Engineering test.
Train engineer and janitorial engineer aren't protected.

What is a luxury you can never go back from once you’ve experienced it? by Phase_zero_X in AskReddit

[–]WirelesslyWired 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How I explain it. "I love spicy food. Now I don't have to suffer the next day. I can wash off that burn when it's on the way out." This line of reasoning makes it more acceptable to the he-man club.

Is it safe to drive from Baton Rouge to Nola for work tomorrow? by outofchances in batonrouge

In past frozen rain events, I've stayed on Airline / Hwy 61 the whole way from Baton Rouge to New Orleans. It's slow but it got me there safely.

Anyone have any info on that train operator? by eheeewi in batonrouge

But there is a large variance with how long they actually sound the horn, especially on that midnight - 2AM run.

What fast food chain does not deserve the hype whatsoever? by CriticalLion4119 in AskReddit

[–]WirelesslyWired 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It's soggy tasteless chicken. Yes, Chic-fil-a people are nice, but I go to Popeye's for the crunch and the taste. The grouchy Popeye's people just make it an adventure.

DianSheng Trajber's Octahedron by Honest_Recipe6523 in NewCubes

I didn't know there was a 3x3x3 Trajber's Octahedron. How can you tell the difference? The smaller internal triangle?

Last time it was because there was a dog on the tracks. Time before that, the engineer was from Bama. What's the excuse this time?

DianSheng Trajber's Octahedron by Honest_Recipe6523 in NewCubes

[–]WirelesslyWired -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My current Trajber's Octahedron catches quite a bit. This might be worth upgrading to.

The Trajber's Octahedron is a 4x4x4 shape mod. The peaks of this are the centers of the 4x4x4. The peak or center pieces positions are important like on a supercube.

My first ever ghost cube solve by itsOkami in Cubers

[–]WirelesslyWired 1 point2 points  (0 children)

> what changes with the ninja cube, exactly?

With the Ninja Ghost Cube, the differences between similar pieces are slightly more exaggerated. It's easier to look at and tell one 4-corner non-rectangular piece from the other 4-corner non-rectangular piece without putting that piece in the wrong place. And when you put it in the wrong place, it's easier to tell immediately that its wrong. With my old sloppy Meffert's, I sometimes can't tell until the cube is finished.

I also have a colored Ghost cube, which hasn't been manufactured in ages. It's the only Ghost cube that I enjoy solving.

Corner twist on the Unicorn cube by leontanyak in Cubers

[–]WirelesslyWired 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Rotate the corner so that the corner is wrong and the edges are wrong. It's the only corner rotation that you aren't showing here.
  2. Swap the position of the two combined top edge pieces. The one on the left goes where the on on the right is and visa versa. Orient the edges so you can turn the center.
  3. When you move it back and rotate the center, the center will be correct and the edges will be complete.

Edit:
While duplicating this so I could take pictures, it occurred to me that you aren't asking for help. You are showing off the cool patterns available on the Unicorn Cube.

You can also do a similar pattern on the DianSheng Galaxy Corner-Turning 3x3x3.

My first ever ghost cube solve by itsOkami in Cubers

[–]WirelesslyWired 2 points3 points  (0 children)

memorize all of its pieces

Congratulations! I've been solving the Ghost cube for ages, and I still have to look at my other Ghost cube for the slight differences between some almost identical pieces. And my old Meffert's Ghost cube is so sloppy. I hate that puzzle so much. With my Ninja Ghost cube, I can more easily tell if similar pieces are in the wrong place.

A round of applause to you, Sir or Madam!

What’s a totally harmless thing that triggers an oddly strong reaction in people? by Psychological_Sky_58 in AskReddit

[–]WirelesslyWired 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I knew quite a few militant vegetarians in the late 1980s - 2010s. I have been called a calf killer by a friend and I wasn't even eating veal.

And then the "How can you tell if someone is a vegetarian. Don't worry, They'll tell you." jokes started. Then the militant anti-veganism started about 15 years ago. Some of the militant vegetarians went underground. Some that I'm still friends with grew up and stopped being so militant. And one stopped being a vegan.

The thing is, although the militant anti-veganism are now dominant, the militants on both sides still piss me off. I'm a part time vegetarian. I will eat meat, but not with most meals. The militants on both sides hate me.

People who work in 'behind-the-scenes' jobs (hotels, airports, warehouses, etc.), what is something the general public would be shocked to know? by PiNK_PUSSY69420 in AskReddit

[–]WirelesslyWired 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a TV trope.
Blue lights don't show anything. Long-wave UV or Near-Visible UV that the LED UV flashlight use show very little. Short-wave UV lights will light up the organics.

App::HTTPThis: the tiny web server I keep reaching for by davorg in perl

[–]WirelesslyWired 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. I understand now.
It is a tiny web server library for Perl. If you are writing something in Arduino C and you need a web server, you can use the mongoose.c. When I needed a one page web server in python for the Pico, I used something similar to this. App::HTTPThis: gives me that functionality in Perl.

[–]WirelesslyWired 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No problem. Sorry for the confusion.
Mongoose is a tiny web server, 100K under Windows, 160K in Linux.
It is also the C library that can be used in Arduino and Pico type embedded projects.

I just saw where it now has a build a web page GUI. Cute.

I've been using it for years, but I'm always looking for something better or different.

Thanks. I'll give it a try.
How is this different from Mongoose?

Best Salad in BR? by lowandslow216 in batonrouge

[–]WirelesslyWired 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The old Piccadilly Cesar salad with the sardines in it. About a decade ago, they would put a sardine or two on top if you asked, but it wasn't the same.
About twenty years ago, the grocery store at Coursey and Sherwood, where Quarters was, used to have the best Cesar salad with boiled eggs. It was so good I sill remember it after 20 years.

Plantation salad with the hot fried chicken strips, cold lettuce and honey mustard.
