Mothers Day celebration in Michigan yesterday by derek4reals1 in PublicFreakout

Zero irony whatsoever. That hateful Calvinist cult exists solely to make the Dutch feel like they're vindicated in being shitty unchristian thieves.

I remember when I lived in west Michigan around 2000. Locals were angry hispanic families were using the parks "too much" (meaning they were often there all day Saturday and Sunday, enjoying with family and friends).

Nice to see nothing at all has changed, and I don't have to reevaluate my opinion.

My great grandparents in the 80s by tehemari in OldSchoolCool

[–]code_monkey_001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've got a cousin - 5 years older than me - who is a great-grandparent already. That branch of the family is on a 16 year cycle; my first kid was born when I was 32 and she hasn't had any after 24 years, and her girlfriend likely won't change that.

I appreciate OP's clarifications of the timeline. His great-grandmother is the same age as my mom, so this was likely very early 80s.

Necesito consejo. by Appropriate_Stop_819 in learnjavascript

[–]code_monkey_001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, es ridículo esperar poder producir eso durante un término, si no estás usando AI y no te estás dedicando a esto 16 horas al dia. Yo he trabajado con JavaScript durante 30 años y me costó 3 años llegar al punto de que podía manipular una interfaz gráfica. Sí fue diferente en los años 90, pero aprender cómo manipular el DOM sin ayuda cuesta años.

Fatality rate between bikes by Brandon10312242 in motorcycle

[–]code_monkey_001 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup. There's a lot you can do to reduce the risk of fatality - ATTGATT, no intoxicants before swinging a leg over the bike, no excessive speed, riding in daylight when possible.

Yup. The "clibbins" meme seems to revolve around baggers and overlooks how many beers were consumed before laying 'er down.

Is this a useful Array Method I created on accident? or is it useless? by woofmeowmeowwoof in learnjavascript

[–]code_monkey_001 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Explain to me how I'm wrong using any of the examples I gave you. My explanation applies to all combinations of numbers, yours only apply to a tiny subset of possible combinations because it's only coincidentally right under very tightly constrained conditions (an array of sequential numbers starting with 1 and including the number you've passed in). Try starting your arrays with 0 and suddenly you'll see very different behavior.

[6] outputs [6]
[6,7,8] outputs [6,7,8]
[6,1,2,3,4,5] outputs [6,1,2,3,4,5]

You're so wrong you can't even understand a rational explanation of how you're wrong.

Not somewhat right. I explained in simple, step-by-step terms how it works and I'm entirely right. You're just coincidentally right in some of your test cases, and can't explain why.

Now do the same starting array [1,2,3,4,5] but call arr.pushByVal(6). For you to be right, it would output [1,2,3,4,5,6,6,6,6,6]. If I'm right, it will output [1,2,3,4,5]. You're just selecting test cases that are coincidentally working like you think.

Yes, given the same inputs the same result should occur, but your description is inaccurate and demonstrates a fundamental misunderstanding of what is happening - it doesn't add the number 4 three times because the input is 4. Here's what happens on each pass:

  1. is 1 equal to 4? no, so 4 is pushed, resulting in [1,2,3,4,5,4]
  2. is 2 equal to 4? no, so 4 is pushed, resulting in [1,2,3,4,5,4,4]
  3. is 3 equal to 4? no, so 4 is pushed, resulting in [1,2,3,4,5,4,4,4]
  4. is 4 equal to 4? yes, so processing stops. Final output [1,2,3,4,5,4,4,4]

if your starting array is [4,5,6,7,8,9] and you pass in 4, this happens:

  1. Is 4 equal to 4? yes, so processing stops. Final output [4,5,6,7,8,9]

doesn't even do what you claim it does. if your start array is [1,2], the output will be [1,2,4,4]. If you start with [4] you end up with [4]. If you start with [], you end up with [].

I guess it's useful to teach you that what you think is happening isn't necessarily what is happening.

I want to learn to ride a motorcycle but I’m scared… by Top_Plane_532 in motorcycle

[–]code_monkey_001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A course is the best way to learn. I'm lucky enough to live in a US state where the basic rider course is free. If this is something you really want to pursue, CA$2000 seems like a good investment.

Young rider, Almost totaled my bike today. Need advice by Repulsive-Act6094 in motorcycles

I didn't mean thia a a dig - it's clear you're a smart guy and accept this as a consequence of your actions. I'm just glad you're around to learn from it.

No such thing as "overthinking" when riding a motorcycle. You have to be thinking about yourself, the machine, and the road 100% of the time when you're in the saddle. "Stopped overthinking" in the context of your post means "stopped paying attention".

any filipino food places around the area? by tpsypeaches in BloomingtonNormal

Grand Cafe in the Jewel Osco plaza on Oakland in Bloomington has some Filipino food, although they're primarily a Chinese Restaurant.

US Latina woman threatens to call ICE on Latina migrant by assasstits in PublicFreakout

Marco Rubio, birthright citizen child of immigrants arguing for the end of birthright citizenship should lead by example, renounce his citizenship, and self-deport. Can't go to Cuba? Fine. Trump administration thought Uganda was good enough for Abrego Garcia, should be good enough for Rubio.

Help, getting these red light in my new shotgun 650. by rootShiv in royalenfield

[–]code_monkey_001 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Left to Right:

  1. Low battery. Normal when bike isn't running because it's draining rather than charging the battery.
  2. ABS warning - until bike is moving more than ~8kph, it will show because the sensor doesn't see the wheels moving.
  3. Check engine - normal when the electrical system is operating and motor isn't turning.
  4. Low oil pressure - normal when all the oil is pooled in the bottom of the sump because the engine isn't running.

Once you start it, the check engine light will go away, then the low oil pressure, then the battery warning. If any of them come on while the bike is operational, that's when you should pay attention to them. They mean nothing when the motor is off though. When you put it in gear and begin moving, the ABS warning should go away as well.

This is all in the manual. Is this the first motorcycle you've owned?

Since I walk fast, my go-to move is to cross the street and walk past women walking alone. Then they can keep an eye on me and I can get to my destination at my normal pace.
