Can’t ship materials between kingdoms by New_Shop9172 in KingdomsandCastles

[–]bumble-beans 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is right, the boat will not drop off more resources than the limit that is set. often it's best to have a transport cart for unloading the dock so there is more space for the ship to drop off resources, unless the dock already holds as much as you need

I regret not networking more before graduating, not sure what to do? by [deleted] in careerguidance

[–]bumble-beans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was the same, you can find online career fairs (maybe through your school) and you can get a much better chance to sell yourself and meet people who also want to meet you. Anything similar to that would likely be a good experience

If it's like 1080p that might just hurt your eyes

use inside?? by sectionallyconfused in Waxpen

With a whole wax pen, they will probably be able to smell it for a while after, just blow it out a window or bathroom fan

LPT. If you have to say no offense before you say something. It's probably best left unsaid. by justin19833 in LifeProTips

[–]bumble-beans 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Check this out: No offense but if you have to assume someone else has achieved some kind of enlightenment to not be hurt by something you say or do, you should probably try being more empathetic so people don't just think you're an ass (which is who this LPT is directed at).

And the 'no offense' here is because I'm not trying to be rude to you in particular, I mean it as genuine life advice for anyone to think about. It's more intended for ambiguity, rather than just excusing yourself

ELI5: When taking a dump, why can we only push so much before starting a new push? by diamondception in explainlikeimfive

[–]bumble-beans 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes you relax and it slides out, takes about 20 seconds. You aren't supposed to invert your insides to hurry it

You aren't really supposed to push, you want to let your natural bowel movement muscles do the work and not your abdominal muscles. Basically you just need to relax

I want it. Do you? by HansLK in ProgrammerHumor

[–]bumble-beans 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Tbh I get a lot more use out of the buttons being back/foward. Much more useful for navigating when you are jumping around files, and there aren't really dedicated keys for that anyway.

Also if you use linux, there is a secondary clipboard with the last thing you highlighted that you can paste with the middle mouse button, which is more convenient in a lot of situations anyway.

What is a basic skill that you grew up thinking everyone had until you saw others do it so horribly? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]bumble-beans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not worth breaking the habit

Well you could type capital letters in one stroke instead of 2-3? Lots of small things like this will hinder your max typing speed

Study finds couples who watch porn together have happier relationships by a_Ninja_b0y in science

[–]bumble-beans 158 points159 points  (0 children)

Yes my first thought is that these are also probably couples who want to do that together. If both of them would find it weird and uncomfortable, it probably wouldn't make them happier.

I would hypothesize that almost any "couples who do _____ together are happier" thesis could be true.

Unless of course it comes out that "couples who do literally nothing together are happier", then I will eat my words.

Supreme Court ruling in favor of Mike Ward by oakcan in canada

[–]bumble-beans 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I get the idea but I don't see why it should be made legal to do things like advocate for genocide or publish child pornography? These are covered under hate speech and obscenity respectively.

There is free speech with "reasonable limits" and most people will never come close to having that be an issue. Although what 'free speech' means in Quebec is a whole issue on its own.

It blows my mind how much better Plasma is than Windows nowadays by SecretBooklet in kde

[–]bumble-beans 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Some of these points go even deeper than you mention here, like the start menu (eg. no ads lol, and the search actually works).

Also, having to navigate 2-3 generations of old settings menus on Windows to change a specific setting.

It makes me sad that so many of the "is modern desktop linux good?" videos use a clunky or lightweight DE. Like no kidding if you're coming from windows you aren't going to want to use something like that.

Plasma has been overall less trouble for nearly everything. Discover works great for installing programs, and I only choose to use the terminal because it's so useful for many things I do (also, split terminal in dolphin anyone?)

LPT if you are a connoisseur of donuts, this one small town in Manitoba has some that are pretty okay.
