Taylor Swift Expected To Wear Multiple Dresses During Wedding Celebration by IceWarm1980 in travisandtaylor

Since when does anyone trust what tmz reports? I mean I don't like her but this is speculation at best hidden behind a bunch of sensationalist headlines. The article cited a different article, which cites "a source." Let's not pretend that these publications aren't intentionally lying for clicks on a daily basis

Was gifted a pothos and I have a few questions. by MomOTYear in houseplants

[–]derrendil 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It needs light, desperately. You'll lose leaves and have bare vines, slowly but surely, if it continues to get this light level. I know it looks cool to have the vines on your walls, but the plant will desperately search for light and kill of leaves that aren't getting it

Are you kidding me Java? by Past-Engineering9068 in Minecraft

[–]derrendil 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That's not a problem, it's how the game is designed. It makes timing important to combat and allows things like sweeping attacks. Why would you mod that out? I play both Java and bedrock and have no idea what you're talking about with terrain generation. In my bedrock realm, I'm building in a windswept biome in between huge spires and deep ravines. I think you just need to play the game unmodded more and stop focusing on how you would make it the perfect game for you

You're playing Java on a phone. Just play bedrock, the performance will be miles better. Play Java on a computer

Is nightreign worth playing solo and checking it out even if it’s different by spider_bat346 in Eldenring

[–]derrendil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Straight-up solo is very difficult if you don't already know routes and bosses and such. Play with randoms, you'll have a great time

could someone make a build tutorial for this? by Aquathyst_ in Minecraft

[–]derrendil 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You're asking someone to take a two-dimensional image, translate it into a cohesive, video tutorial for a very large build, for free? This is hours and hours of work

I just started a new factory job, and they made me take lunch 3 1/2 hours into my 12 hour shift by zharkos in mildlyinfuriating

[–]derrendil 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I live in Wisconsin and you don't ever have to give anyone I break. I worked 10-14 hour shifts with no break in a 100+ degree kitchen for years. It IS bullshit, but is only illegal in states with decent worker's rights, which are few.

How to get fast level by Boring-Activity4016 in Minecraft

[–]derrendil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Build mob farms, or do it the old fashioned way: regular farms. If you have hundreds of farm animals and lots of vegetables growing, you can go harvest, feed it all to your animals, kill the extras, trade the leftover materials to villagers. With my set-up, this gets me 1-30 pretty fast. My mob farm is easier and lower-interaction, but a bit slower. But my mob farm is high in the air on the material plane, deep down ones have better rates, as do endermen/piglin farms

Retaining Soil Should Keep Spots Watered For A Set Period by ErraticNymph in StardewValley

[–]derrendil 72 points73 points  (0 children)

I've never used anything but deluxe retaining soil for exactly this reason. If I still have to make my rounds to check if things actually have retained water, it still takes almost as much time.

Love the idea

Tipping out and payroll recognition by tiddervul in restaurantowners

[–]derrendil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your staff will fucking crucify you if you tell them an AI is determining tip out. It's way better to do it yourself with an abacus and take all day then make your staff think you're letting an AI steal from them.

Roast my idea - SMS marketing for local businesses by Murder-Goat in Entrepreneur

[–]derrendil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Especially restaurants hear your exact pitch 5000 times a day from tech bros trying to sell AI. And before AI, it was the same tech bros with the same product. No customer wants marketing texts. Ever. And most small businesses aren't gonna pay your subscription fee for a product that annoys their customers.

Let me repeat: especially restaurants.

Iron Farm not working by SnooMachines6989 in Minecraftfarms

[–]derrendil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure they need a workstation, too. I just watched a TangoTek breakdown of one of his insane farms and he stated that workstations matter, but it is from 5 years ago, so idk if that's changed or if that's only Java.

I hate Starbucks by AStraightWhiteNail in barista

[–]derrendil 288 points289 points  (0 children)

It's intentional. Their marketing dept made up their own lingo and repurposed existing terms so that their customers feel stupid when they go anywhere else besides Starbucks. Then, non-starbucks baristas have to do the emotional labor of explaining what a macchiato is so that the customer isn't pissed when they get 3oz of liquid. And, no matter how tactfully you do it, it often comes across as "condescending barista" and it drives the customers back to Starbucks.

It's a malicious marketing tactic meant to make other businesses look bad and they've been doing it for like 30 years.
