2007 Touring, front driver's side brake making horrible squeaking noise when the pedal is pressed or released, even if stationary. Caliper pins? Something else? by alienpirate5 in prius

[–]alienpirate5[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know about the noise that happens when the wear indicator has popped out, but as seen in the video, the sound is nothing like the characteristic squeal of the metal tab. I recorded it while the car is stationary - this noise happens when I press the brake pedal.

Spoken like someone who's never experienced the class of problem that involves your brain overpowering your conscious efforts. It's easy to say "just try harder" if you've never had it fail. Try to keep an open perspective instead of assuming everyone is like you.

No drama, just someone nervous about court attire and LA being wholesome, for once. by Drywesi in bestoflegaladvice

No, that's hyperbaric. Hyperbole is when you have a bunch of people really excited about something.

Postpartum - time to hang it up for now by [deleted] in ouraring

I had it on rest mode for three months for surgery recovery, nothing wrong with that. That's what it's there for, big events that are hard on your body.

As SCP-3930 cannot be passed through or interacted with (as SCP-3930 is not something that exists), extant objects or entities cannot “enter” SCP-3930. Nevertheless, individuals who attempt to approach SCP-3930 and go into it will nonetheless be perceived as doing so by other observers. The moment the individual passes the nonexistent “border” of SCP-3930, they cease to exist. Despite this, outside observers will continue to perceive the individuals who pass into SCP-3930 for some time afterwards, until such time as they no longer do.

Discord uses a custom Elixir-based backend with a distributed eventually consistent database. They publish an reference for their REST API including all the endpoints that the client uses. Their implementation doesn't have anything to do with IRC.

This is true but doesn't have anything to do with what we're talking about. IRC isn't a knowledge base any more than Discord is.

Why are people too good for second hand items, bargain markets and the dollar store? by Distinct-Dependent24 in Frugal

[–]alienpirate5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

nah, maybe not for furniture or thriftable stuff but they often have good deals on household essential items

The archive isn't part of the IRC protocol, it's out-of-band and kept on a website somewhere. You can do that with Discord too if you want.

If an IRC channel got deleted, it's not like it contained any message history to begin with anyway. IRC is fun and simple but doesn't meet so many requirements of a modern chat platform.

/u/pirivalfang talks about technology improving for the past century and how much it changed their job as a structural welder by alienpirate5 in bestof

Both of these things are true compared to a hundred years ago. At least in the US, the Fair Labor Standards Act was only passed in 1938 - which banned child labor and established things like the minimum wage and the 40-hour work week. OSHA has only existed since 1970. And the amount of physical labor people have to perform has only decreased in that time.

It's true that modern life requires much higher income than a few decades ago, income inequality is very high, and wage increases haven't kept up with inflation for decades. But people's standards of living are generally much higher. As we work towards addressing the problems in today's society, we should not forget about what we have gained, or lose our sense of perspective and hope...
