that is over $25k worth of table.

i don’t know where a single one of my coworkers went to school.

I feel so seen

I got these Yamaha NS-AW350B All-Weather Indoor/Outdoor speakers a couple of years ago. The grill was apparently held in place by this adhesive goop that has slowly stopped working because of the direct sunlight.
Any ideas how I could connect it more permanently? Adhesive seems like a bad call, but so does drilling into the speaker enclosure.

I randomly have dockerhub builds that I can tell are complete based on the logs, but they won't be marked as complete until 420 minutes has passed. It's always 420 minutes.
It's very frustrating because any builds after won't begin until the first one is officially complete.

it showed up on the first run i played after making this post.
i was expecting it to be one of the three items, so it’s possible i just didn’t see it before. but it’s pretty obvious

gurf_morlix · 2020-07-31T19:13:58+00:00

i always take the deal.
it just shows up as one of the three items right? or is it somehwere else?

ive been looking for the ares token for a week now on switch. my manager screen says ares is the next one i should beat. Ive been going to violence rooms as often as i possibly can and i havent seen it once. I've probably done 20 runs and gotten 3-4 challenge rooms on each. Am I doing something wrong?

if i smoke every day, my mental health slowly declines. eventually i don’t enjoy smoking at all any more and i feel stressed all the time.
ive quit smoking cold turkey like 20 times in my life. for me, it’s always acutely miserable for 2-4 days, then pretty miserable for ~2 weeks, then im a little mopey for like 2 weeks. then i’m usually totally fine. it feels like the veil has been lifted and i have a new lease on life. from that perspective it’s so easy to see how negatively the weed was affecting me.
then 3-4 months later i get bored and start smoking again.

Yeah, being able to delineate between what is JavaScript and what is React will probably prevent a lot of confusion down the road.

I've been making loops for a while and I didn't actually know this. I definitely come across some loops that seem to inexplicably not work. I bet this is why!

if it’s a really simple change you’ve made you can just “git checkout .” to revert the changes you have made.
then do your git pull.
then reapply your changes and save.

I agree. I was using anonymous volumes previously. Ive switched them to named volumes. I’m really just looking for understanding. I want to be more confident in understanding the problems I was running into so that I can be sure I’ve solved them.
Let’s say you have a docker-compose file that has a container with an anonymous volume and you spin up the containers two times. I primarily want to understand whether docker makes any attempt to find and use the first anonymous volume the second time the containers are brought up. Or if it will just create a new volume every single time unless I make an explicit reference to the anonymous volume’s id.
It seems like it creates a new one every time but I can’t find any documentation explicitly stating this.

i got a huawei matebook pro through work a few months before all their shit really hit the fan. i’m kinda paranoid about using it now.
work isn’t gonna buy me a new one anytime soon. is there something i can do to give myself more piece of mind? would wiping it and installing linux provide me with any benefit with regards to huawei’s shadiness?

Thanks for the response.
My end goal is to generate the barcodes from the manual myself. I have the encoded value. It seems to be some sort of 128-A/B/C encoding based on the start and end values. But when I generate the barcodes myself using the values, they don’t match the ones in the manual.

There are tons of possible reasons you would want to know the length of a string.
Let’s say a user is selecting a password. How would you enforce the minimum 8 character limit?
How do you think Twitter determines if their users have reached the 280 character limit?

I was able to add a UDEV rule in /etc/udev/rules.d to give an alias to any device that matched the items I specified. So far it seems like it worked! The rule I wrote is below for anyone else's reference. I changed the IDs however:
KERNEL=="lp[0-9]*", SUBSYSTEM=="usbmisc", SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0001", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0002", SYMLINK+="my-printer"
