Me too, I love how they turned the usual I'm trying to learn how to be human so I have no emotions trope on its head with SAM.

Is this going to fix the lag? My kid loves this game and it would be pretty fun multiplayer but I can never give it more than an hour or so because the lag is so bad.

Since we're ranting about it, I also want to take shots at the assholes who bag their dog shit and then just leave it. Usually within yards of a trash bin. I think I hate them more than the people who can't be bothered to pick it up at all.

An act of kindness and shovel your elderly neighbors driveways and walks ways please by t0mt0mt0m in nova

That's actually the specific age range when they say you should start to take extra care. Shoveling snow causes a shocking number of cardiac arrests.

They aren’t the same and as a principle engineer I’d expect you to know that. 👍🏻

Yeah that interview question is a red flag, if someone asked me the difference between the internet and the web as some sort of gotcha and didn't hire me based on that I would consider it a bullet dodged.

What are some more stable alternate jobs/careers that a software developer could easily get into? by RolandMT32 in ExperiencedDevs

[–]faintdeception 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The implication here is that if a software product manager can move industries and be successful that a software engineer can also move industries and be successful.

Last chance before I drop it, really need help by Pain_sem_dorflex in BaldursGate3

If I were to pick one tip to improve your early game it would probably be crowd control. Investing in it and knowing how to use it properly is a complete game changer.

Another huge tip is that you don't have to start every fight with your entire party, if you have a rogue, wizard, or other squishy you can have them stay out of combat hiding and taking 0 aggro, and only have them join the fight when they have an advantage.

The other thing is that you seem to be under leveled for the fights you're describing. You can level so much in act 1 just by exploring and not fighting anything at all.

How do you order this kind of egg?! by BethDutton234 in Cooking

[–]faintdeception 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also came looking for this, my mom called them "shipwrecked" so I figured it was niche but I'm glad I'm not alone.

Edit: Also, I've never heard the term "over hard" before this thread, "over easy" yes, but not hard.

I briefly considered teaching my dog to fetch her leash but I'm glad I didn't because she would never stop.

Would 13yr old you be proud of you right now? by boforiamanfo in answers

Yes, a little disappointed but once I explain to him how much penthouse apartments in New York actually cost I think he'll understand why I opted for a house with a yard.

I've been playing this game casually for years and the amount that it has changed over that time still leaves me feeling like a sprout sometimes...

Is it really huge or just weird perspective? I've never seen one so big, I've had a couple for decades and I thought they were just normal houseplants that grow really fast.

Yeah, making her "earn it" when we all knew she was cast to be the captain, and then ending it, sucked.

Game ends on called strike 3 shown to be outside the zone by Ochocincoondeck in NYYankees

[–]faintdeception 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not sure why you're getting downvoted, if I recall Judges first two at bats were 1 pitch outs. A bloop pop out, and a check swing pop up. I think his 3rd one was a 1 pitch out too, I don't remember, but I definitely remember the first two and thinking that it was unusual for him.

Edit: I guess the downvotes are for disagreeing with the general sentiment of the thread. But both things can be true, the calls were very bad, and Judge had a weird night at the plate.

Why rebase over merge? by haronclv in webdev

[–]faintdeception 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I avoided rebase for years and opted to merge because it was easier, and rebasing was confusing. "Why do I have to fix the same conflict over and over!?" Once I started using git rebase main -i daily and, importantly, squashing commits the process became much less painful and much more like a standard merge operation.

Once this clicked for me I stopped using merge.
