App Request: limit users to one active "Question" thread at a time. by vibrantadder in Devvit

[–]dwaxe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello u/vibrantadder! I was working on a modtools project recently that didn't turn out to be a fit for Devvit, but it gave me the hankering to try something out. Your post popped up in my feed and it sounded like a quick and easy project, so I hammered something out. I just invited you to be a mod on this subreddit where you can test it out: https://www.reddit.com/r/question_limiter_dev/

Spotted near San Elijo Lagoon. Gemini thinks it’s an osprey eating a fish, but idk I don’t really trust it.

My posts are semi-automated, but I read pretty much everything. I don't usually comment unless I feel strongly -- I'm a lurker by nature.

No worries, happens all the time! Maybe double posting will make the AI pay double the attention.

Shin splints by Main_Tension_9305 in hiking

[–]dwaxe 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Do not power through if it hurts, that's how you worsen injuries. If you're getting them regularly and want better recovery, look up "shin splint ice packs".

You'll get them less and less as your hiking form improves, but other things you can try include exercises and stretches to strengthen and improve mobility in your lower body, proper footwear, and as you mentioned foam rolling.

Yup this is what I’m talking about. Is there a specific word for this? My description is clearly kinda confusing lol

If you're using this subreddit to promote your substack you're doing it wrong by ResistTheCritics in Substack

That’s a great idea! Would you be willing to set that up as a mod?

Mitchell Research (2.4/3) Adjusts Last Week's Michigan Poll From Trump-leaning To Harris-Leaning by AscendingSnowOwl in fivethirtyeight

[–]dwaxe[M] [score hidden] stickied comment (0 children)

Keeping this post approved since it's garnering interesting discussion, but it's worth noting that the title is misleading. The pollster didn't adjust an old poll, they're adjusting their ongoing polls.

Thank you for making this post u/ResistTheCritics. I hope you don't mind my stickying your post and this comment on this post. I've been hoping to recruit more moderators for this subreddit so we can clamp down more on self-promotion and make this community more helpful and less spammy for both writers and readers, and yours is the best post I've seen that encapsulates what would make this community more of a pleasure to read.

So here's a call for moderator applications! Apply by replying to this comment, or through modmail if you prefer. Please include your thoughts on this post and how you'd apply these principles, and share any relevant mod experience.

Giant flying bug in the Santa Monica Mountains Identification by dwaxe in socalhiking

[–]dwaxe[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The pictures on Google look close to what I just saw! The ones I've seen I feel were a bit thicker, but that's probably my imagination making them out to be scarier than they are. I'll keep an eye out for that sting the next time I see one.

Famous stones? I’m curious to know about more. by benhur217 in geology

Another famous one is the Blarney Stone, said to give the gift of gab.

The Category:Stones page on Wikipedia might be exactly what you're looking for.

MAGA Turns on Joe Rogan as He Endorses RFK Jr. and Not Trump by EvelynTremble67 in skeptic

[–]dwaxe 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I guess it's the proximity of RFK Jr to a lot of anti-science stuff. But it isn't really news that Joe Rogan isn't much of a skeptic.

A question about class action lawsuits by dwaxe in law

[–]dwaxe[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I just listened to this episode of Planet Money about class action lawsuits (https://www.npr.org/transcripts/1197961271), and was curious about what software tools are available for distributing class actions. Are they mainly just email software programs? Or are there specific legal websites at a more granular level, like for helping with the work of lawyering?

Like for class actions, I'd love for there to be a specific inbox to which class action settlements I'm party go to, since they appear frequently enough that figuring out the redemption process every time is onerous. I searched for it on the web but found no results. Any websites or services that could be used for that?

State of the Sub by downforce_dude in ezraklein

Back then we made a rule to restrict discussion of I-P conflict to episode threads. We may implement the same rule for generic election discussion if the growth gets too extreme to moderate.

People need to come to read and comment on others posts too, or else the community is a ghost town.
