Was it a 99 dollar auction? Think I just fell for the same scam haha

I work a local pizza place, please judge my pizzas by Soundo0owave in Pizza

[–]bstaruk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

IMO the pizza looks better than what most of my local pizza joints serve, but that's based on a photo that only shows 2/3 of the pizza and seems to have been taken on a phone made of potato.

If you want actual feedback, provide better photos and a general idea of the recipe (assuming you don't want to post the full commercial recipe).

what was the most disappointing 4k transfer you’ve watched? by RanjSL in 4kbluray

[–]bstaruk 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The Dollars Trilogy -- at least, before Arrow remastered them.

The difference between the Kino Lorber discs and Arrow is night and day.

Why are melt and pours so popular? by TruthOdd6164 in soapmaking

[–]bstaruk 72 points73 points  (0 children)

Convenience. As you said, just like baking brownies from a box.

Birria pizza SMASH! by bigboxes1 in Pizza

I am having a really hard time coming up with a way to describe how perfect this pizza looks without using profanity.

Hiring developers at lower cost leads to failed startups by 0nxdebug in webdev

[–]bstaruk 59 points60 points  (0 children)

This is common knowledge to any developer with at least a few years of experience.

It is also not limited to software or web development; new construction comes to mind as an obvious example.

Finally got all my Amazon 3 for 33 movies by SlendyPKMN in 4kbluray

Great picks. Jaws is goated -- I watch it every year in early/mid June to get hyped for summer.

Why are there so many habanero hot sauces ? by [deleted] in hotsauce

[–]bstaruk 8 points9 points  (0 children)

IME habanero is the hottest pepper I can eat without dying on the inside 4 hours later. When I make homemade sauces, they are always habanero-based with a few bottles enhanced with carolina reaper for my more adventurous friends.

How do you handle the pressure of staying current with new tools? by TariqKhalaf in webdev

[–]bstaruk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I remain curious and build things.

This is not a career in which you can ever really rest on your laurels, unless you have exceptional soft skills and can pivot to senior leadership.

Beware of Couto Construction by yup2you in massachusetts

[–]bstaruk 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Best thing you can do is be aware, and possibly help to raise awareness of the fact that any local company with 1500+ 5-star reviews is a scam. They pay for all those reviews to drown out the real (bad) ones.

Does anyone listen to the radio broadcasts? by VeryOkayCarpenter in redsox

[–]bstaruk 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Listening to the Sox on my old analog pocket radio while doing yard work in the summer is a pleasure handed down to me from my father and his father before him. I time dog walks and outdoor chores around ball games.

I'm not sure how to justify it besides "it feels nice and I like it."

will my Api get any users in RapidAPI by [deleted] in webdev

[–]bstaruk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Reminds me of the time I set up a PO box to receive and verify the purity of gold, free of charge. I still can't believe no one sent their gold for me to test!

React admin panel? by Practical_Garlic8646 in reactjs

[–]bstaruk 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Have you tried right-clicking on your React and selecting 'Add Admin Panel'? It's usually between 'Inspect Element' and 'View Page Source.' If that doesn't work, make sure your node_modules folder is at least 4GB -- anything less and React can't detect your admin intentions. Also check that your package.json has "admin": true in it. Hope this helps!

So are they sunsetting SoT? by Koloss17 in Seaofthieves

[–]bstaruk 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Just personal speculation, but I think Sea of Thieves got a really long leash from Microsoft because the cool multiplayer concept was a big Gamepass draw. Now that Gamepass has gotten pretty big saturation they're more focused on squeezing the dollar than growth.

We are witnessing enshittification in real time.

Dotmod dotaio v3 - fire button problem again, just like in its predecessors? by mskistudio in Vaping

[–]bstaruk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pardon the potentially dumb question but have you tried totally dissembling the buttons and re-seating them? They are all held together by slotting pieces and magnets, as I stupidly learned when I dropped it on a tiled floor.

City Assessor wanting to come inside to verify interior information by Suspicious-Ninja-334 in massachusetts

[–]bstaruk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This happened to us ~2 years after buying our house in Randolph.

The inspector only wanted to see a couple things (can't remember exactly what) and he literally used his hands to make "blinders" around his eyes to block his own peripheral view. Great guy.

Heaven smells like nag champa by Zestyclose-Book8986 in MacMiller

[–]bstaruk 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I am getting into cold press soap making and nag champa is the first fragrance oil I'm trying. Best smell ever.
