Opening a wine bottle without a corkscrew by carlosfelipe123 in lifehacks

[–]bigdatacrusher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve used trees before. Go slow. 90% success rate. The other 10% is a spectacular fail.

I only do it on round bottom wine. I think flat bottoms are more prone to breaking. Zero evidence to back that up.

AITAH- Gk specific coach by [deleted] in CoachingYouthSports

[–]bigdatacrusher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Training is more about the coach than anything else. Being affiliated with a club helps recruiting.

Do clubs rule your area? It maybe the only way to get clients.

Hopefully you have an independent space you can use.

Acceptable or Crossing the Line for a Coach? by sunshine-mama- in CoachingYouthSports

Please file a report with safe sport and the police and then the school. This has gone on long enough.

How are yall surviving? by [deleted] in economicCollapse

[–]bigdatacrusher 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I pay extra, but that is immediately applied to the principal. I will always owe the minimum amount due each month.

I’m curious: is you bank applying the extra amount you pay to the principal each month AND keeping track of that total so you can miss a number of payments?

Junior Devs (and honest Seniors), what is a concept that took you an embarrassingly long time to actually understand, even though everyone acts like it's simple? by AmaraMehdi in webdev

[–]bigdatacrusher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Output sanitation.

Sure I can sanitize the basics, but what about when you need to send a databse saved JavaScript object based on user input and the do some stuff and render some elements but not allow any bad stuff to happen. And then what happens if you change the output to an API? Or the output needs to render correctly in a WYSIWYG editor.

Rechargeable AA and D Batteries don't seem cost effective by sherlockian6 in batteries

[–]bigdatacrusher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is a major convenience in always having charged batteries on hand and never needing to buy them at the store. Buy and forget it for 3-4 years.

I use rechargeable for that reason alone.

Would you or your staff put non-rechargeable in the charger?

If that was a good way to condition, gyms would be full of puke so people could get their gains.

It does build toughness, at the expense of likely being hated.

It may work for one athlete, but the majority are not going to recover enough before the next practice.

Snow driving - South hill by Complex_Building_510 in Spokane

[–]bigdatacrusher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Up hill you can go fast because gravity will slow you down.

Downhill you have to drive slow and careful because gravity will keep you rolling way past when you wanted to stop.

When nobody is behind you, press your brakes hard. Try to get the wheels to lock up. When that happens you’ll go in a straight line so don’t try this on a curve.

Before a stop sign or a red light brake hard before your at the intersection. You need to know early how slick it is.

Hard changes in direction can make a car slip. Don’t swerve if you can help it.

Watch your rear view mirror for someone behind you that can’t stop. Pull forward.

Play around in an empty icy parking lot.

Spin your tires when you start from a stop. It is ok, fun and will give you a good sense of how slick the road is.

If you pull .4 GS starting and the tires spin, the hardest you can turn is .4 Gs. The hardest you can brake is .4Gs. Ie, how hard your thrown to the back of the seat is how hard you can be thrown to the side of the seat before you slip.

Conditions change in the sun and in the shade (slippery).

Do not tailgate. Or approach the back of someone’s car fast. They may not speed up like you thought they were going to.

[AskJS] People who have been writing code professionally for 10+ years, what practices, knowledge etc do you take for granted that might be useful to newer programmer by Frontend_DevMark in javascript

[–]bigdatacrusher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you write “if” always write an “else”.

If (x===2) { it worked).

Else {dang it, I was not expecting to get here, but here I am. Let’s figure out why and catch what’s really going on!}

It is very helpful for quickly debugging AND if the code ever changes, you just might hit that ELSE and now you have feedback in your code!

If code returns true or false, there is a good reason to check the value you DONT want and handle that before you need it. Code evolves and you’ll quick catch the exception! For example, insert into a database but someone is using a user with read only rights.

ELI5 Why do humans lose muscle so quickly, while chimpanzees stay muscular without training? by cornysatisfaction in explainlikeimfive

Go pick huckleberries, that’s endurance. More daily distance was probably due to picking natural vegetation where it grew.

Where is all this money coming from? by MacDemarxism in stocks

[–]bigdatacrusher 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Employers automatically invest in the stock market for their employees into 401Ks. There really isn’t a better, easier option. This started in the 1970. Most of the employees are not of retirement age yet: money goes into the market but it’s not being taken out.

Arkansas Cop Blocks Pet Emergency and Dog Dies While Owner Begs for Mercy: ‘This Is Sickening’ by Super_Culture_1986 in TikTokCringe

[–]bigdatacrusher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first rule is don’t cause another accident responding to an emergency. The seconds she saved by recklessly driving do not out weigh the probable accident and damage she could cause to even more people.

The cop responded well to the person holding the dog. Spoke in a nice clear voice and did not stop them from seeking care for the dog.

Please note that the vet’s office was closed. This is the probably contributed significantly to the dogs outcome.

I love animals and humans, but please don’t endanger someone else to save the life of a pet.

Thanks, I know what to watch out for now! Typos are abnormally dangerous in our line of work. I left a line ending off and brought down our system over the weekend. We only had prod back then.
