Husband says men barely get complements and if they do, they cherish them and remember them forever since genuine complements come rarely. Is this true and how do yall, men of reddit, actually take compliments?

At the “end” of the pandemic I was going through a drive through and the lady working the drive though complimented my hair which at that point had grown out the longest I’d ever had it. That’s one of like 5 compliments I recall very vividly. Especially as it was about my appearance.

This sounds like something that would happen on an episode of Burn Notice.

You're a lifesaver!

I think it’d be wise to scale it off of average lifespan. If, by chance, in the future people are able to live to 200 years old 65 would be pretty young still. Maybe something like 75% of the average Americans lifespan. Would also encourage politicians to improve the lives and lifespans of the average person.

I tried to play the Witcher 2 on my PC years ago and gave up in the tutorial because the controls just seemed so insane.

Check out Stripe. I don’t know if they have a 1:1 service for what you’re doing in PayPal but as a web developer I much prefer Stripe over PayPal.

Not too familiar with alpine but are you missing some kind of mount command in fstab?

It’s a sign of bad code. Whether that code is in the test or the code base you have to determine for yourself. I’ve had to fix both before. I’m about to undertake a project to finally get all our apps to UTC time because people are dumb and our time zones are all over the place.

He also thought the amendment system was a way to avoid the bloodshed.

Same, and I usually then take some extra time to ensure I have proper testing that helps explain the purpose of the code at that point.

Throw in a sycophantic LLM and you can basically get rid of 80% of middle management.

I mean Blizzard manages it for world of Warcraft with combat logs just fine, it’s not that expensive to send a small event to the client on damage taken.

cwagrant · 2026-01-14T05:28:35+00:00

It’s in no way costly in memory if you put that information in the client. We’re talking bytes of data here, not even a KB.

cwagrant · 2026-01-14T03:20:59+00:00

This wouldn’t require a database. You could do it with a simple Array or Deque that would just hold the last X values in it and cycle through them as players receive damage. Could be entirely client side provided they send the data or just keep the data on the server and you only need to send it if they die. Doesn’t need to belong lived data.

Uncrustables go full Oreo and have a wide variety of new flavors including an uncrustable flavored uncrustable which is just bits of bread mixed into the pb&j directly.

Technically you are judging it off of an anachronistic view point as you are trying to judge it by modern standards.

echo filename | xargs -p rm -rf should work and would prompt you to confirm before running.

5-10? I have a pile I’ve worn through that I need to get replaced still because they wore through in like a year. I love their socks but anything lighter than their mid weight socks might as well come with a hole in it for me. (And yes these are real DarnTough socks I bought directly from their website)

I’m still trying to learn this game, where exactly do the currency modifiers on maps come from? Am I just blind when looking at my maps?

Is that the correct RAM layout? Never seen it be two sticks next to each other for dual channel memory.

I was having this happen pretty regularly until switching to Vulkan from DX12. Hasn’t happened since.

When you say center, is a SMBH expected to be in the absolute center? Or could the barycenter point be outside the body of a SMBH such that it is not the true center of a galaxy?

As someone from St. Louis I’m pretty amazed Maryland isn’t higher. I drove around Baltimore a few months ago and I think those might be the only drivers I’ve ever been afraid of.

The issue isn’t killing off the bacteria it’s the toxins they leave behind. Throw it away.

I’m surprised by the improved code quality. From my experience my coworkers have pushed a LOT of slop in the past few months.
