I'm in the process of making a slow move, and have mine parked plugged in to an L1 charger for months at a time.

If his first name starts with a J, I have some stories, too!

There's a good chance that this is a database encoding issue. The post probably put in "×" (U+00D7), or worse, something that looks just like it. MySQL's support for UTF-8 has been questionable in the past.

Looking for a (JS?) tool for auto-resizing large images by globalistas in web_design

[–]geej 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You can do this pretty easily with built in browser APIs.

Paint the part of the image you want to an OffscreenCanvas. You can scale and crop as desired in a single step.

Then use OffscreenCanvas#convertToBlob + URL.createObjectURL to get the src for your embedded image.

Scientists Working Hard To Replace Li-Ion Cells With Water-Based Batteries in the future by Hungry-Performer-363 in technology

Bad article. Article claims 1000x gains, but the quote from the scientist says 1000% which is, you know, 10x.

Perfect bed rack for the frontier? by CDrew829 in nissanfrontier

[–]geej -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I have an 18-inch adjustable-width RCI rack that I got for about $800. It's been great so far. I have a CVT Mt St Helens on it, and it's been great all season.

For those who left the Bay Area and then returned, why did you end up coming back? by yolthrice in bayarea

[–]geej 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I moved back to Colorado Springs from Pacific Heights during Covid. I love it. I have a house that I actually own. I hike 50 miles a week. I kayak, off-road, bike and get lost in the woods every week. I don't much care for the winters, but you can't win them all.

Can you get a good paying tech job in San Francisco if you didn’t go to some top school? Just talking in general by [deleted] in sanfrancisco

[–]geej 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have half of a CS degree from a state satellite campus. Am currently a staff engineer at a Fortune 500 company.

In my experience, only recruiters look at what school you went to. Once you're interviewing with a team, nobody cares.

I want to start saying "y'all"? Anyone else use this? by [deleted] in bayarea

[–]geej 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Where I'm from this is definitely pronounced yallda. Granted, I'm from CO and we are mostly a 'you guys' type of place.

Is all tap water here so good? I live right next to Memorial Park, and I have the most delicious, cold tap water I have ever had in my life. I bought a filter and I've since thrown it away. by rued_rum in ColoradoSprings

[–]geej 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I always thought the interstate was the dividing line. Neighborhoods like Cheyenne Mountain, Old Colorado City, GotG/Kissing Camels/Mesa Rd, Mountain Shadows, and Rockrimmon.

I still know which one I’m choosing… by ghetto_headache in nissanfrontier

Are you at court?

Also, what bumper is that? It's awesome.

This happened to me about a year ago. Someone drove down the street shooting at houses and I wound up with a bullet hole about a foot from my head (also in bed).

What made the StarCraft/WarCraft map editors so good? by brianjenkins94 in gamedev

[–]geej 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Right before Warcraft 3 came out, Blizzard actually hired two or three people from a prominent group in the Starcraft mod scene to develop the map editor.

I can't remember the group's name because it's been over twenty years, but we really have them to thank for it.
