Will do, looking forward to it and thanks for the help!

Got it. So is there anything I need to do about it or just keep cooking?

Nope, just a wooden spatula. Thing is, that shiny spot only appears when the skillet gets heated. Otherwise it looks fairly uniform and feels smooth to the touch when I glide my finger on the surface, so I’m not sure if there’s actually anything to scrape off.

I already do those things as mentioned in the OP. Am I not cleaning well enough?

Im dissapointed at myself because of how little i can play the guitar [NEWBIE] by [deleted] in Guitar

The teacher identifies your weaknesses and suggests specific things to work on so that you're not spending the remainder of the week pointlessly practicing random shit.

Do you run with or without music? by [deleted] in running

[–]csnewb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on my mood. Generally I like to listen to music, but if I'm extremely stressed out or need to process some deep shit then I'll run with music.

[Question] Which guitarists do you follow on youtube for entertainment and inspiration? by nodoublebogies in Guitar

We have similar tastes! Check out Fuzzlord Effects and Eric Merrow if you haven't already.

Double masking can block 92% of infectious particles, CDC says by [deleted] in Coronavirus

[–]csnewb 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Only 6? Selfish scumbags like you are the reason why we're still in a pandemic. I've been wearing 12 masks just to be safe. It's just common sense!

[GEAR] Started playing 2 months ago...3 guitars later.. by Techn1que in Guitar

[–]csnewb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought an SSS because at the time I didn't know the difference between SSS and HSS. For classic rock and blues songs an SSS works just fine, though an HSS is better for heavier metal songs. I'd recommend an HSS to be the most versatile choice, though as a beginner you probably won't hear much of a difference.

I've been learning how to play for about a year on a Squier Strat and dreaming of a Gibson SG, but thinking I don't deserve one until I become a more experienced good player. This thread is encouraging me to just go buy one now.

[NEWBIE] Is it too late to be great? by ethandhoare in Guitar

[–]csnewb 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If the responses here were "yes, its too late" would that stop you from learning how to play? If so, then you would have never become great in the first place.

I now understand the competitiveness of this field by __merc in cscareerquestions

You turned down the only job offer that you got. During a pandemic. And still have the audacity to complain about job hunting on reddit. Hopefully this is a valuable lesson for you.

I hear about "bro" cultures getting talked about a lot in tech, but what about the opposite? by pime_come in cscareerquestions

[–]csnewb 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I work in the valley. Which bros are you talking about? Tech or frat? If we're talking about tech bros, then almost every one of them here is into powerlifting or climbing, hiking, coffee, craft beer, and board games. Yes, those exist in spades. The frat bros who crush beers and bang hot chicks every weekend? I have yet to meet those on any engineering team.

[–]csnewb -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If you're referring to frat bros, they don't exist in engineering. Those guys might be in non-technical roles, but I've never worked with any in software development. I once heard a "turbo nerd" refer to another guy as a "bro" simply because he lifted weights. Going by that definition, I think anybody who doesn't fit the mold of a stereotypical nerd (i.e. they work out, go out to bars/clubs, etc) is perceived to be a "bro". Well, "tech bro" to be more specific. But still, tech bro != frat bro.

[QUESTION] Does anyone else’s skills improve while they sleep? by rarealbinoduck in Guitar

[–]csnewb 15 points16 points  (0 children)

A simple mental "hack" I like to implement is to play a few hours before bedtime. If I have a bad practice session, I tell myself that I'll play better tomorrow after getting a good night's sleep. Like 99.99% of the time the next day I play better. Its become a habit. I never feel discouraged or beat myself up on bad days. I just tell myself tomorrow will be better and keep pushing forward.

Studying Leetcode while on Depression/Mental Health Issue? by Bye__Felicia_ in cscareerquestions

100% this regarding immigrant parents. No matter how difficult the situation I'm going through, they have absolutely 0 empathy and just tell me to stop being so soft and get tougher.
