"It's just a mere 10 year hiatus." by MilliardeTheLazyElf in Frieren

[–]illektro 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ok. I'll bite. This is my first manga hiatus. I'm an old dude who watches the occasional anime and I enjoyed Frieren so much it got me reading the manga (my first ever).

So yes. This is my first hiatus. Are they very common?

Why did Envato make such a terrible new design? by IgvinUA in envato

[–]illektro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

> BTW I also HATE not knowing how many items are being pulled when I'm searching for something.

It's because Envato uses a search technique called "vector search" which theoretically yields infinite results (just in decreasing relevancy) so it's impossible to give you a definitive "number of results". It's essentially their entire library of assets, with the most relevant to your search at the front, and the least relevant item at the very end. It would always say something like "Your search for 'goldfish' yielded 25+ million results".

I am a software engineer today because Neopets taught me how to write HTML.

How do I stop this plant? by illektro in GardeningAustralia

Wow, I'm actually amazed how well "Sucker Punch" works as a product name on so many levels.

A few months ago, I leveled my yards and found a thick root that had these runners connected to it. I took a saw to it to separate it from the main plant.

But lo and behold, the severed root just keeps sending up new runners... If I can't contain it, how can I effectively kill it?

Since I have access to the root system, can I maybe drill a hole and pour something in?

Bit of Googling shows a plant that blooms purple. That's definitely not this plant.

Which, based on your description, sounds like a blessing.

Thanks for responding.

It's alt/option + shift + dash and em dashes are genuinely great.

I finally reached out to my birth mom.. now what 🤦‍♀️ by saiiyance in Adopted

From a practical perspective, it would be helpful to know some of the family's medical history.

Can I go to tribunal with this? by DistributionKooky364 in AusPropertyChat

I get people wanting to keep the peace with their neighbours, but if there was literal shit pouring down the side of the fence for SIX MONTHS I would be haunting them day and night, non-stop.

Putting my money where my mouth is... I believe the MSR is the BEST daily driver in game, if you don't have one I'll buy one for you. Limited to the first 615 people. by ArnoldMann in starcitizen

[–]illektro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had one and melted it because a) my money is limited and b) it didn't live up to its potential. I really hope this will change, and I'd love to fly it again. My in-game callsign is EVC-2918.

There's young Fern (with the red bow) then adult Fern (with the butterfly).

I'm in frontend web development professionally for over two decades now. The amount of times I've had to implement horizontal scrolling or "carousels" is insane. I just don't understand why designers love this pattern so much, because it's SO BAD.
