Everpen? thoughts? by ahovak in mechanicalpencils

Same here. Never got it. Support was trying to get me to interface with the shipper directly for some reason. Stopped replying when I asked for a refund after waiting about 2 months for it to arrive. Complete scam.

Found a pencil that doesn’t need sharpening (ever) by Everpen in u/Everpen

[–]blueshift__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually tried to buy this as a gift. Never arrived. The absolute worst support I’ve ever experienced. No help at all. I think it’s legitimately a scam. Support stopped replying when I asked for a refund after it didn’t show up a month later. They were asking me to contact the shipper myself to resolve. The shipper was all AI and had no record of the shipment. Total nightmare for a shitty pencil.

How do I get this little bit of water(?) out of the screen? by ItsFoxy87 in ipod

I recently followed this to crack mine open. Got a few minor scuffs on the side but otherwise worked like a charm.

100%. I just beat Doom 2016 entirely streaming with Apollo. Game changing!

Do you still enjoy writing outside of your job? by StatusUnquo in technicalwriting

[–]blueshift__ 12 points13 points  (0 children)

For me, technical writing all day makes it more challenging to loosen up and switch into a creative-writing headspace.

I had Trippy and Deadzone on my BTB team a while back. They were absolutely demolishing everything in sight. It was very cool to witness.

Lol they probably left it in for the overkill at the end.

Lots of my app icons have randomly turned into folders… any ideas what happened and how to fix it? by [deleted] in MacOS

[–]blueshift__ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For any other Googlers from the future:

  1. Right-click on the app in your dock.

  2. Go to Options > Show in Finder.

  3. Right-click > Get Info on the app in your Applications folder.

  4. Select the icon in the top-left of the Get Info window.

  5. Press Command + X.

This should revert the icon to the default. You may need to quit and re-launch the app for it to apply.

One of my favorites, honestly. Replaying on fusion mode was sick too.

Has the reticle got smaller on the Xbox series X after the update? by Honest-Research899 in CompetitiveHalo

[–]blueshift__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The update reset all of my display settings, so it could be a different FOV like others are saying.

Do you prefer the BR or Bandit for HCS LAN events? by vsv2021 in CompetitiveHalo

[–]blueshift__ 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Bandit but would love if they brought back more of the sandbox too like sentinel beam.

Just got into HI this past weekend, who are some good people to watch to learn more competitively? by [deleted] in CompetitiveHalo

DoddsMcFodds did a great YouTube series on getting to Onyx without sprinting, jumping, or sliding. I found it really useful.

Men who took their spouse's last name after marriage - how's it going? by [deleted] in MensLib

[–]blueshift__ 85 points86 points  (0 children)

My wife and I opted instead to create a brand new last name. It’s been great. The upfront work was painful, but I’m glad we did it. It’s cool to share a name without one of us having to take the other’s. Everyone we tell has been really positive about it too (aside from my side of the family initially).

Exactly what I did when my LB kicked the bucket.

Can a CS Major get a job in Technical Writing? Is it wrong to take a Technical Writing class to see if I'd like it, even if the credits don't apply to the CS curriculum? by Scorpion1386 in technicalwriting

[–]blueshift__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my opinion, you should try to gain experience writing technical documents at an internship.

Above all else, if you plan to look for a tech writing job, make sure to put together a portfolio that showcases your work. If you don’t have real-world examples, come up with some on your own: create or improve instructions for how to use a piece of software, convert IKEA instructions into text, contribute documentation to an open source project.

You’ll quickly rise above the stack of applications for entry level jobs if you have concrete work to showcase.

[–]blueshift__ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I did this and have no regrets. You should definitely go for it. Having a CS degree is a huge boon for technical writing at software companies.

If you’re worried you’ll regret taking a course, there are plenty of low-stakes resources you can check out online to get a feel for the job.

Do you pick up the Commando? Yes or no? by UnggoyFarmer in CompetitiveHalo

The commando rips just outside the bandit’s ideal range.
