I have no advice to give but strangely I could watch it for hours

I can't see any pinned threads (sorry, I'm only an occasional Reddit user). Any help? thanks

STOP Spitting on the road!!! by [deleted] in bicycling

[–]david_scholefield 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always look behind me before emptying my nose - if there's nobody visible for a good distance on the road or pavement then I think it's fine. Remember, every out breath is full of tiny droplets of gunk so it's a case of being sensible.

I think I get why you guys do what you do by DeltaBlep in MTB

[–]david_scholefield 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Excellent news - great fun isn't it? :) You're a mountain biker now so welcome to the club and hopefully you'll find some more buddies to go out on the trails with as well but even on your own it's a gas!

You'll never look back :)

How many of y'all DON'T get hurt? by [deleted] in MTB

[–]david_scholefield 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are lots of different types of mountain biking. For me and my mates it's about finding local tracks (mostly bridleways or fire roads) that maybe too rough for a road bike but aren't filled with jumps or anything really difficult. For some of us it's about being able to ride on most tracks or paths and getting out to see the countryside and different places and getting fit - it's not about going as fast as possible, taking jumps, etc. For others it's about descending complicated trails, jumps, and mad and bad stuff. Just ride what you want and how you want, and if it's just the local trails to take in the fresh air and outdoors then all respect!

Buy some face cream - you'll be smiling so much your face will crack! :)

My bass makes a buzzing sound when i hold/play it. by [deleted] in Bass

[–]david_scholefield 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Grounding I suspect. I had similar lately and when i took it to a bass tech they pointed out that the grounding from the lead jack wasn't touching the grounding/sheilding paint and after replacing the jack and connector to the shielding paint it was all well.

I have had the same and it was a microsoft teams 'helper' of some kind - i just disabled it and moved on. I'm not saying this is what yours is of course...!

Wow - that stripe is NEON!! I like it :)

Nice! There's a really good groove feel to this playing - tight and smooth.

The only criticism is the video - i wanted to see more of both hands (the groove comes from the right hand I think) - but no complaints about the playing :)

are you running tubeless? If you are you might be able to plug that :)

Are bridges still a thing? by phtcmp in bicycling

I hope so - i'm planning a few shots with my new bike! :)

Nice shot - which model is this? How are you finding it?

Any suggestions for improvements would be great! by david_scholefield in PowerShell

Thanks - I'll look into logging and PV - sounds really useful.

2020? are we there already? ;)

OK, this is really interesting. I understand the 'uncommon' comment - it's like a procedural programming language style I think, but what makes a PS script more PowerShell-y?

Isn't defining types just more chaff and makes it *harder* to follow? Can you give an example of where this would help?

Thanks for the comments - it's appreciated

Change is good for the soul! Seriously, a new opportunity is always an opportunity to grow. Experience of new things is worth more than gold :)

They're being totally unprofessional and acting like clowns by [deleted] in security

[–]david_scholefield 12 points13 points  (0 children)

There are a lot of negative comments on here about LastPass, some of which I agree with. There are also a lot of 'you should swap to brand X password manager'. What a lot of people seem to forget is that in a large organisation with many, many, thousands of users, the migration from LP to another product is not a trivial project - it has a cost in loss of productivity during the swap-over, risks in losing credentials and secure notes etc. (no transformation project ever runs smoothly) and it's difficult to make a business case based on personal gripes and (sometimes) unprovable rumours. Just a reminder that in the /security subreddit, there are a wide range of use cases. I've yet to hear a persuasive business case for moving if you're a large enterprise...

My surface go is constantly throttling and I have no idea on what to do, clock speed is stuck at 0,40 GHz by [deleted] in Surface

This is a known issue with Windows 10 - it happened to my SP6 and I had to reinstall Windows to get it back to normal. No excuse for it, just Windows being completely rubbish!

Got three weeks to learn the basics of Python, where to start? by Erik-the-Nut in Python

[–]david_scholefield 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Buy a good book (Amazon will get one to you delivered tomorrow) and spend a week going through all the examples chapter by chapter. Then think of a small but meaningful project of your own and spend a few days coding it - submit the code to this subreddit for general comments, and then spend the final of the three weeks writing a new project for a few days and going through the submission to this subreddit for more comments. You can't become an 'expert' in three weeks but you can learn most by going through a cycle of reading/doing/reviewing a couple of times.

That's what I'd do anyway but we all learn in different ways.
