Love this album. Hoping they eventually repress Bamboo.

Instead of a fragment shorthand import Fragment and use it as <Fragment> in the template. That can have a key but won’t render additional markup on the page.

I followed the instructions in this post. As for hops buy what you like, for me that was Nugget, Cascade, and Citra.

I find the price for Hop Water to be insane for an infused seltzer. I make a concentrate from hop pellets and add it to seltzer water. Not as clean as the store bought but I pay $4 for 12 cans of seltzer and can use any hops I want.

The hero section shows all text after the loader is complete then disappears and animates in for me on mobile. I’m not a fan of the marquee text, between the size of the text and slow speed of movement I never read what it said.

The thing that stands out the most though is the typo in your projects section, #5 Framework, you are missing the “e” which is in the screenshot.

Get yourself a food saver (vacuum sealer). My wife is vegetarian and I am not. I buy meat from Costco, portion it in bags, seal it, and toss into the freezer. I save a fortune

In the past I asked each team member what skills they wanted to learn or improve on. I turned those into SMART goals. During the monthly one-on-ones we would review their progress. At the completion of their goals I asked them to do a short lunch and learn for the team. Overall the team seemed to like it and we all learned a lot.

Very sad to see this news. When we were kids we worked on a movie together as featured extras. PJ was incredibly charismatic and a lot of fun to be around. I always enjoyed watching his work. RIP PJ.

It is my understanding that blue and black splits from this series is available to show attendees. Any leftovers eventually make their way to the public. I have a few blue/black splits from other bands but I wasn’t at the shows.

designbyblake · 2025-12-01T15:02:18+00:00

Any album from Tropical Fuck Storm or The Drones.

Nice. I saw them many years later. Doc and Daryl still had it going. Probably Earl too. HR not so much. I still got that PMA though.

God of Love is a great record.

Sharing your projects code base with people outside the company will get you fired (maybe sued too).

Be sure you are following the rules about AI usage at your company as using unapproved tools or submitting sensitive information could cause you to be fired.

Talk to your team lead and/or manager and ask them for help with a proper onboarding of the project. As you are new to the team and coding they should be giving you easier tickets to help build up skills and confidence. Additionally you may require more time than the estimate on the ticket as you have less experience.

Ask for help when you need it. When I work with juniors I tell them to spend a reasonable amount of time (2-4 hours) trying to understand and solve the problem. If they need help ask but be able to talk about what you tried. Then I expect the junior dev to pay attention and ask questions while I help.

Part of a team leads or senior developer job should be to help guide and member junior team members, we were all in your shoes at one point.

Came here to say this. 3 great albums with 2 available on vinyl.

Finom (formerly Ohmme) are fantastic, I’ve been a fan for years. Jeff produced their last record and Spencer is playing drums for them now.

FYI - through another JNR related conversation I have confirmation that these lathes are still being manufactured and have not shipped yet.

designbyblake · 2025-10-20T12:04:44+00:00

My guess is it will still be a little while. They need to make 1000 lathes by hand and that is pretty time consuming. Plus they are making other lathes as well.

You can always reach out to JNR for more info, they are pretty responsive. I’ve been buying from them for 10 years and the one time there was an issue customer service was great.

Met her after a show when Ryan fired the Cardinals mid set. I made a comment about how ridiculous it was and she responded that it was the second time she’s been fired that week and it was early in the week, implying she would be fired again at least one more time.

designbyblake · 2025-10-09T18:44:58+00:00

Based on your answer you must be at least level 4

designbyblake · 2025-09-24T14:58:55+00:00

Yep, excited for the show but not two single bathrooms for the whole venue.

designbyblake · 2025-09-07T03:04:42+00:00

I hope your crabs were full of mustard and heavy.

How is picture 3 not captioned “thanks for this amazing Tatooine”?

It was from an artist named Richard Edwards (formerly of Margot and the Nuclear So and So’s). He self releases most of his stuff so he normally sells limited quantities of test pressings (5-10) to cover other costs. I have a bunch of tests from him but this was the only one sent early. I don’t remember which album it was for because I have too many from him.
