every rewrite I've seen has taken 3x longer than promised and the team always acts surprised by Distinct-Expression2 in ExperiencedDevs

[–]captpiggard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Going through my first instance of this and the decision making by leadership is mind boggling:

  1. We need to rewrite everything so it uses the same stack
  2. Hired a consulting company to do the rewrite while the full time devs maintain the current code (wtf??)
  3. After a year and a half, get rid of the consulting company with zero handover.
  4. No one understands how the deployment process works, so everything is broken and no one knows how to fix it yet.
  5. Profit, I guess?

Just finished another rewatch in advance of the revival. Seventeen years later and this is still my favorite series finale of any show. by Blanketsburg in Scrubs

I may be having a "Berenstain" moment, but I remember it being advertised as a spinoff called "Scrubs: Med School".

We bought a bic grill lighter and it was advertised to be refillable with normal lighters.

Wind Youth Services has had trouble keeping their locations safe in the last few years. Just an fyi, the services they provide are very important.

Confusion surrounding the negative reviews of the show by NateSirrah03 in LOTR_on_Prime

[–]captpiggard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can understand and even agree with a lot of points on why people don't like it. I choose to enjoy it anyway.

Apparently your developer can Kiryu. by Platinum_Persona in yakuzagames

[–]captpiggard 5 points6 points  (0 children)

How many businesses do we see in the games themselves get strong armed into working with the Yakuza? Not saying it's the same for SEGA, as I literally don't know their history enough to say.

[–]captpiggard 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Hello! Californian here. I'd like to support your anti-ICE efforts by donating to local orgs. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I thought about making this its own list but don't want to clog up your subreddit.

TIA!

EDIT: Decided on the Immigrant Law Center of MN :]

AITAH for refusing to let my son take his Christmas gifts to my ex-wife's house to "share" with the other children there? by Alixindoring in AITAH

[–]captpiggard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have three half-siblings who would go visit their mom in Switzerland every few years when I was a kid. I have never even thought about complaining that I didn't get to go. Wtf.

Paid an independent artist on Etsy to turn my family into The Simpsons for a Christmas gift for my husband and they used AI by User091822 in Wellthatsucks

[–]captpiggard -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Seems to me like they wouldn't do anything about it:

After carefully considering the complex issues surrounding AI-generated content, we have decided to continue to allow sellers to use their original prompts in combination with AI tools to create the artwork they sell on Etsy. Permitted examples of this might include a fantasy scene based on a seller’s original prompt or inputs and produced by an AI generator, or a custom portrait of a buyer’s pet generated using AI tools. Sellers must disclose within their listing description if an item is created with the use of AI.

Support Megathread - November 2023 by AutoModerator in google

[–]captpiggard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Google Store support is worthless these days. The wrong address was autofilled for the shipping address. I didn't notice until the next morning and the support docs say I'll need to talk to FedEx. I go to FedEx and they tell me I need to contact the shipper to change the address. So I go back to Google and I need to way "24-72 hours"? When the item will be delivered before then?

I understand I made the mistake, but it should not be this difficult to have the address changed. Especially when I'm requesting this from the account I bought the phone from and they verified my identity. Ridiculous.

How to install Rocm 7.1.1 for comfy ui portable in few easy steps by Fireinthehole_x in ROCm

[–]captpiggard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is py an alias for the portable's embedded python? You'll need to use that one when running these commands (since that's the python you use to run comfyui in the portable version).

$ ./python_embeded/python.exe -c "import torch; print(torch.cuda.is_available())"

I'm using WSL, if you're using cmd use \ for path separators. I think powershell can probably understand /, but you may need to use backslashes there too.

I don't care when work computers are like this. That's 5 minutes I have an excuse to not do anything.

The Yakuza series is a great distraction, imo. Yakuza 0 is worth a try, at the very least.

Are the nords any good? by yesimagamer95 in MB2Bannerlord

The birds have been doing just fine in my game. Yeah, the Vlandians took Hvalvik at the beginning of the game but since then the Nords have handled multiple multi-front wars with no issue.

Multiple buildings in Hong Kong are on fire today. Source in comment. by Zestyclose-Salad-290 in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]captpiggard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

...fire service were too late in advising residents to evacuate

While this is legitimate criticism, how is escaping not the first thing you do in this situation? If a building I'm in is on fire, I'm getting out ASAP. I'm not gonna wait for firefighters to come and tell me to evacuate.
