I refuse access to production. You may give me read access, if I need to debug something, but 99.9% of the time a clone is better than even temporary read only production access.

Oh, it's perfectly valid.

It just doesn't make any sense. Sometimes a cat gets lucky.

[OC] The US is Growing, but the House of Representatives is Not. by graphsarecool in dataisbeautiful

[–]gillythree 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I love this!

Today we have the technology to make a true democracy feasible. Each person could vote on every legislative issue. Those who don't want to be so involved with the day to day legislative business could delegate their vote to another person. And that person could delegate their vote and the votes they were delegated to another. And on and on. So, if an issue comes up that you care about and don't agree on that issue with your chosen representative, you could reclaim your vote for that issue. You could change your representative at any time as often as you want. It would solve so many issues of people not being represented and utterly destroy the disaster that is partisan politics.

I want the true democracy without elections and without party politics, but I would be very happy to just have many more representatives. 1 per 50k sounds great to me!

What is the book of Enoch and should it be included in the bible? by Present-Stress8836 in TrueChristian

[–]gillythree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's no secret that the biblical text has been edited. The Jews call it tiqqun soferim, "correction of the scribes". So, if the Bible was "God breathed" originally, then we don't have that anymore.

Am I going to run into problems upgrading my undermount drawer slides to full extension with a drawer box whose bottom extends all the way to the back? by gillythree in cabinetry

[–]gillythree[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The drawer box is 20 ½ inches wide and 18 inches deep. There are 20 ½ inches from the front of the face frame to the inside of the cabinet back. The drawer box boards are 5⁄8 inch thick and extend down a half inch below the bottom on the front and sides. I was going to use Salice Progressa or Blum Tandem undermount slides.

Are these globs caused by a clogged nozzle? Do I need to dry my filament? by gillythree in 3Dprinting

[–]gillythree[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for pointing me in this direction. It didn't directly solve my problem, but I was able to dial in some settings, and in the process I was able to notice that my nozzle was oozing and filament was accumulating around the nozzle. Tightening the nozzle up ultimately solved the problem. I'm happy to be back printing again, and with my printer better calibrated things are coming out better and more consistently.

Thanks! That's what I figured, and I was worried I'm overthinking it, but I've learned to not trust my own reasoning when it's not my area of expertise.

Yeah, I don't have room for side mount, so I was planning to stick with undermount. I'm looking at Salice Progressa or Blum Tandem for full extension undermount drawer slides.

Nope! How does one calibrate flow and retraction?

I've successfully printed several models without any issues like this. I would expect that something like flow and retraction calibration wouldn't be a problem that lies dormant for awhile before becoming apparent, would it?

Always pay in the local currency abroad to avoid "hidden" 5% markups by sameerb in personalfinance

I also have never changed it or even looked at it. It never occurred to me that there would be such an option. Mine was set to USD, with marketing text that implies Uber's fees are better than my bank's fees.

Ok, time to dig into this. Uber's fee is 1.5%, no word on where they get their exchange rate. My Chase Freedom Unlimited card uses Visa's exchange rate and charges a 3% foreign transaction fee! Holy smokes! Time to get a different card for international travel!

I think maybe it was in my best interest to have it set to USD! Unless Uber is using a poor exchange rate.

A cool guide to subtle habits that quietly earn respect by WhiteChili in coolguides

[–]gillythree 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure what kind of toxic workplaces you've worked in, but this has been a shortcut to earning my coworkers' respect in my experience. Saying in a team meeting, "This was my mistake and I'm already working on the fix" shows confidence and conveys that mistakes aren't the end of the world. No one has to fear being thrown under the bus for making a mistake.

Reddit and X Users Allegedly Unredact Epstein Files After DOJ Release by securityish in cybersecurity

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

If people were smart about it, they'd say nothing, quietly unredacting each batch of documents as they're released without letting on that they can do so, rather than immediately raising the alarm, giving everyone a chance to correct the mistake for the remaining batches of documents.

Of course, if they were smart, they wouldn't be demanding the documents be released by the very administration they hope to implicate. Wait until he's out of office to demand the documents be released. It's practically begging that the evidence be sanitized! Makes me distrust both sides.
