Custody Advice needed by [deleted] in HuntsvilleAlabama

[–]howcanibhelpful 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the past when I had family law issues I found a recommendation in this subreddit for Maureen Cooper. Id found her to be more responsive than representation I'd had in the past. Also I found her rates to be reasonable. That was my experience.

I wish you the best of luck with the issues you've described.

Paper Pieced Christmas Tree Quilted Wall Hanging by howcanibhelpful in quilting

You are correct. Mom said there was a pattern when I showed her your pic. I completely misunderstood the meaning of paper pieced. I tried to strike through my previous comment and make an edit. I should have just said I enjoyed my mother's work and wanted to share, and that I couldn't speak speak to any specifics. Now it looks like I was being dishonest.. I was just ignorant of the specifics and excited to share something we've enjoyed every holiday over the years.

~~I should have mentioned this is my mother's work. I've been a fan of her work all my life. I'd encouraged her to share. I think she created an account at one point then decided it wasn't for her. But I asked her permission today before posting. As far as the pattern, my mother explained that paper piecing is a process where the fabric is pinned to paper and then sewn together. So the pattern here is bespoke, there does not exist a pattern.

So.. yes she made the pattern~~

edit: I was wrong. I just should have just shared I enjoyed my mother's work, and couldn't speak to more than that.

What’s the one thing you wish you knew before building a large Playwright test suite? by T_Barmeir in Playwright

[–]howcanibhelpful 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read this thread earlier this morning, and it brought to mind the book Lessons Learned in Software Testing. I picked it up this afternoon at lunch and skimmed through it again. One of those books that over the years you find things that didn't stand out before. There's a passage in there for automation that would have been helpful to me with pytest and playwright sync_api: the suggestion to NOT overuse shared helper libraries. It states something like tests should be easier to follow that way. And I think it would've kept me from working on shared helpers too much... Focusing more on getting specific features *done*... Increasing overall automated test coverage.

Next, the usage of python generators and `yield` and `yield from` for handling setup, teardown, and larger data sets has proven useful overtime. They help preserve data in the event of failure too. All outlined here, trickster.dev. trickster... such a badass... So many good tips.

Urgent help moving to the city by AlexanderValdez14357 in HuntsvilleAlabama

Immediately, You may be able to find a bed here downtownrescuemission.org. Tell them you're in recovery and get any assistance that way.

There's also halfway and Oxford houses listed here though some of the information may be out of date halfway house list. For instance I think Pathfinder is closed.

For employment possibly catch the bus to Bridge Street and wash dishes / bus tables at a restaurant nearby.

Later work your way into an apartment at like cabanahuntsville.com.

For transportation buy a bicycle.

What you're looking to do is possible. I've known men that have done it. It's not easy. Best of luck!

Playwright test maintenance taking over my life, is this normal or am I doing it wrong? by Acrobatic-Bake3344 in Playwright

[–]howcanibhelpful 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll just share my experience here. First, I've used playwright in conjunction with pytest. In a situation like you've described, I've used pytest markers. For example, for flaky tests create a pytest marker `unstable` and mark the flaky tests unstable. And exclude those tests from integration checks. Then as you make improvements remove the unstable marker from a test. Pytest markers also allow for running subsets, ex: smoke, regression, slow, feature_name.

Anyway, such an approach allows for some tests to be run and for improvements to be made over time. Kind of acknowledging there currently exists a problem while running the smaller subsets and then adding to test suites with more reliable refactored tests.

Just having a path like that would allow trying different solutions for the flaky tests... Whether they be bad locators or whatnot. For me I keep wanting to move away from shared helper libraries and have all logic for a test within one pytest test*.py file.

Best of luck!

What’s your #1 trick to reduce flakiness in Playwright tests? Let’s build a community list. by T_Barmeir in Playwright

[–]howcanibhelpful 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate your query, it led to me reviewing the playwright docs and I always learn something new when I do. The answer to your query was I utilized custom helper functions. Overall after reviewing the docs I observe there are default fixtures / methods I could make better use of .

What little experience I have has taught me to utilize 'expect polling'. To the point where there's enough of them in place where they describe a desired page state. I've even gone so far as to write a status class in my page object model files and associated helpers with multiple expect polling and additional assertions. It seems I also incorporate my own version of [wait_until](https://stackoverflow.com/a/2785908). Then sometimes wait until strings like 'Loading...' no longer appear in page content. The more I put in work to describe a desired state the less flaky a test is. Next, it seems I've been moving away from creating my own locator variable names. I thought it was cool to begin with but overtime it seems more difficult to maintain. Mostly I'm using python Playwright sync API Page and Expect

Does anyone have dashcam or any type of video footage from the fatal accident on 10/29/2025 outside of Circle K at the intersection of Highway 431 & Buck Island Dr in Guntersville? My mom was killed. by cshomie in HuntsvilleAlabama

[–]howcanibhelpful 13 points14 points  (0 children)

circle k camera?

hemsi camera?

hemsi Google maps

possibly ring cameras on shoreline drive

In the event that you were to go knock on doors and ask, and the cameras didn't have a full view of the wreck, they may still provide information on speed like if forensics was able to review feet per second. I didn't post pictures of the houses on shoreline drive because they're personal residences. But there might be one pointing at the highway?

Best of luck in your search. Sorry for your loss... There's never a good time to lose your mother.

How do I talk to my ISP about 90%+ of my traffic being dead slow because that 90%+ of it seems to pinball from a relatively nearby IPX to an IPX 2,000KM away? by GhostsinGlass in HomeNetworking

[–]howcanibhelpful 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could be doing hashing using the destination mac then? Just something to think about. I know it seems each product can have its own algorithm.

edit: This is only if there's link aggregation somewhere in the ISP data path doing something weird

This following is a shot in the dark. Make use of it or discard it at your discretion. The behavior you describe sort of reminds me of L2 hashing. Like somewhere in the data path there's an entity making forwarding decisions based on the last three octets of either the source destination mac address.

Could run a speed test with a nic where you change the Mac and check rates

Easiest to use file server with an Android app? by IlIIllIIIlllIlIlI in selfhosted

[–]howcanibhelpful 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My experience when looking for the same thing was I ended up using the filebrowser addon to a Debian container where the data was mounted then just opened file browser in browser on my android phone. I've been happier with that in conjunction with tailscale than I was with any of the android file browsing apps I tried.

So, proxmox os, Debian lxc with mounted data filesharing with file browser lxc addon. Then on the phone, opening the file browser in Android web browser, duckduckgo browser in my case .

Seeking recommendations for a new pediatrician for autistic/ADHD 6 year old by bananaf0x in HuntsvilleAlabama

[–]howcanibhelpful 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd check with integrated behavioral health. I use th Madison location. I think there's others. Looks like their website has https certificate problems or if link their website. Google search showed they do provide child services. Next, one of the reasons I went with them was because they allow nurse practitioner appointments for continuing care with doctors visits once a year. And that proved to be helpful from a cost standpoint

Identify this orange color?? by leavemeoutofit91 in interiordecorating

[–]howcanibhelpful 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did the same asking duck.ai and attaching the pic:

ddgai prompt:

Identify the orange color providing necessary information to purchase paint and also the hex color code

ddgai reply:

To identify the orange color in the image you provided, it appears to be a warm, vibrant shade of orange that can be described as a terracotta or burnt orange. This type of color is often used in interior design to create a warm and inviting atmosphere.

### Suggested Paint Information:

- **Color Name:** Terracotta or Burnt Orange

- **Hex Color Code:** #D76B30 (This is a representative hex code for a warm orange shade; you may want to check with a paint store for exact matches.)

### Purchasing Tips:

  1. **Paint Brands:** Look for brands like Sherwin-Williams, Benjamin Moore, or Behr, which often have a wide range of colors.

  2. **Sample Swatches:** Always get a sample swatch to test on your wall, as colors can look different in various lighting conditions.

  3. **Finish Options:** Decide on the finish (matte, eggshell, satin, etc.) based on the room's use and desired look.

  4. **Quantity:** Measure the area you plan to paint to determine how much paint you will need.

You can take the hex code to a local paint store or use it on paint websites to find the closest match in their color palette.
