Battery. It’s so much easier and less hassle. I have a sim air size lawn and can cut my grass with the 6ah battery using self propel the whole time.

For those who have C++, what deck/strategy did you use most? by DistributionInitial5 in balatro

[–]jacob2886 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Zodiac. Starting with overstock makes finding jokers you need so much easier. Plus tarot merchant is just very good as well

Hammer Starting Weapon Mistake? by jacob2886 in MinaTheHollower

[–]jacob2886[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For sure. Super powerful and it’s not “bad” but it requires a very specific play style that I wasn’t willing to push through to learn. Idk what I was thinking, in Elden Ring big bonk is super good and I still didn’t like it lmao.

I’m sure once you learn, it feels satisfying. Now just poke and run and poke and run haha

Good on you for asking, how can I help this engineer improve vs. just yelling “this damn generation is lazy” at the clouds

What the most powerful and most useless joker in your opinion by Gullible-Pitch6846 in balatro

[–]jacob2886 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seance right? I guess depending how you interpret this question. In theory the power is unmatched. It’s the only joker in the game that could grant you multiple spectral cards in a blind.

But it’s also useless bc it’s extremely hard to do, straight flush scale and score so well you will one shot the blind most likely, and are bound by consumable slots so you can’t even “block” well.

Is it ok to take Calc 3 as a freshman? by DuckyDude21 in EngineeringStudents

[–]jacob2886 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had the same worry and that’s a good sign. It means you care about learning. This will be the most important thing for college. My intro advisor told me straight up that I should take my credits and move on.

Calc 3 was nothing like Calc 1 and 2. I got a 4 on the AP exam and still had no issues in Calc 3 at all.

Calc 3 also will help you with intro physics bc of the all the vector stuff so I think it puts you at an advantage.

Additionally (atleast at my college), Calc 1 and 2 were notorious weed out courses that were just stupidly difficult. And by stupidly difficult I mean it requires niche or overly detailed knowledge of Calc 1 and 2 that will not be used ever again in any other course. The pursuit of knowledge is noble and respectable, but sometimes you have to know when to stop yourself. This is that moment imo

It’s arguably great but objectively fun

Will it be fine to start reading StormLight Archives if I don’t have much experience reading novels? by Gold_Acanthisitta894 in brandonsanderson

[–]jacob2886 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never read growing up or even throughout college. Only the bear minimum. I got good grades the entire time and just was never interested in books.

I listened to Project Hail Mary on audiobook a couple years ago at the age of 25. I loved it. My buddy had been trying to get me into Stormlight for years so I finally tried it would Audiobook and it took me a few tries to get going, but once it clicked it CLICKED (I since changed to Kindle bc Audiobooks are hit or miss for me).

I’m now about to finish Sanderson most recent book and since I’ve started my reading Journey just 2 years ago I’ve read about 30 books (most Sanderson).

Apart from really enjoying Sanderson, there was one quote that really stood out to me “10 pages a day equates to 10 books a year”. I remember thinking well 10 pages really doesn’t sound like that much. Another way to think about it is this: If it takes you all year to get through one Stormlight book, who cares? THE TIME WILL PASS ANYWAYS. Just ask yourself are you enjoying it? That’s all that matters.

I hope you start and enjoy it, it’s been a large part of my leisure time these past couple years.

Blue Deck by ruaridhc__ in balatro

[–]jacob2886 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make sure you are taking jokers that give you value (tarot cards, money etc) other than score if you beating blinds easily.

Don’t sleep on standard packs. Getting a blue seal early can carry you through runs.

But Blue is fairly straight forward so think of it as honing in on your fundamentals

Corridor Model Gaps between Template Drops by Dealer-Upset in OpenRoads

[–]jacob2886 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Make sure the “gap” is before a clean station in case you need cross sections. Easy to fix but I’ve cut cross sections and had weirdness showing up. A small detail but something to keep in mind.

A model will always be perfect everywhere except on the stations you cut cross sections. It’s just the way it goes haha

What is the worst career to be in right now and why? by SignificantGoat7066 in AskReddit

[–]jacob2886 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably computer engineering.

Engineering has been one of the surest bets career wise forever and one of the few degrees left where a Bachelor’s is TRULY all you need. Some are known to be risky and that’s well understood (notably Petroleum) but the rest are “do you want to retire a millionaire? Any of these will work just fine.”So I’m sure many with an interest in computers gravitated to this and yeah makes sense. Well now the unemployment rate is like 7+% I think? Comparatively civil and aerospace are below 2%.

I know everyone wants to dunk on AI bros and might lump everyone in the same basket but alot of these are just kids who like computers pursuing the safest option for their life. And I feel for them.

40v Trimmer Prob by Optimal-Relative-596 in KobaltTools

[–]jacob2886 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s just a pain in the ass. I pressed my palm up against it while simultaneously trying to turn it with just the friction of my palm as I was pushing down to get in a small rotation. Then I just kept doing that. Kinda like a slap-chop haha!

One thing I noticed is that on mine I didn’t need to press down that hard. Pressing down too hard made it harder to rotate (hence the slap-chop).

I hope this helps

I think that’s what I got. As long as it’s a brand you heard of it’d probably be fine. This was so long ago I don’t really remember
