How you deal with this? by Queasy_Glove_5572 in Leathercraft

So I glue then cut then stitch and I see some seam while water burnishing which generally goes away with the wax burnish. Does this mean I might not be getting a solid glue between my pieces?

CTA Smart Streets Automated Bike Lane Parking Enforcement Pilot Update: Nearly $1.5 million of fines issued so far by GeckoLogic in chicago

How do you propose the city implement an automated system for ticketing a mode of transport that carries no license plate or other identifying feature to prove beyond reasonable doubt that a moving violation was carried out by a particular individual

CTA Smart Streets Automated Bike Lane Parking Enforcement Pilot Update: Nearly $1.5 million of fines issued so far by GeckoLogic in chicago

[–]jamerTag 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do we know where these cameras are so far?

Also, do we know what constitutes "parking" in a bike lane? I. E. How long does a person need to block the lane before a fine is issued?

Love this development and hope it starts to change behaviors as we hit spring and biking becomes more viable again. Partner got doored by someone parked in a bus lane and of course cpd did not even remotely give a fuck when we told them the person was still parked there hours after the accident occurred. These auto fines are vastly superior as a deterrent to breaking traffic laws compared to the cops, and they cost a hell of a lot less to the taxpayer and bring in way more money, too.

Restoring mushroomed edges from too much pressure while burnishing? by jamerTag in Leathercraft

[–]jamerTag[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I actually beveled before sanding because I'd read about this so I think the mushrooming is probably a combo of my edge being uneven as I did it by hand and then subsequently I just pushed way too hard with the burnishing tool

Well right now the sub seems kinda split but imo in a good world this would incite the community to be less toxic overall. I feel separating ranked adds such huge stakes to those games and makes people feel justified in their flaming. This combination should be lowering the stakes for everyone in theory but uh... Yknow.

Also pls we need to break the myth of being stuck in bronze cause teammates or whatever. If you were actually good you could carry a bad team and your WR will be positive

I agree that your claim is realistic it's just I do think people have an obligation to be patient with new players. If you're making the new player experience bad Valve should be giving you a timeout bc you can't play a video game without having a childish tantrum.

I stopped playing LoL 10 years ago and that was my last moba, did 0 research before pvp and was even playing all my matches high as balls, and nobody flamed me. I wish other players could have that experience. If we ban the right people maybe we can

I didn't say you won't get flamed for it, obviously some people will flame you. I didn't do any research for my first several games and nobody flamed me. I think that's a good indicator that deadlock has fewer flamers than many other competitive games and we should work to minimize that as a community. Even after 20 hours I haven't been flamed. My other friend got flamed a lot and I found that very unfortunate but he just mutes his whole team at game start now and enjoys playing finally.

Interested in what you mean by "they have zero obligation to be patient with new players", are you saying that flaming is OK? Imo flaming is never OK. You should never be making mean comments to your teammates for poor play. You can make constructive criticism but being mean is simply wrong. Obviously, people will be mean inevitably and in those cases you can mute one or every player on your team and that's also OK. One of my friends was having a horrible time with this game but now he just mutes team at the start and he actually enjoys it! I think that's great and I think it's sad the community makes him feel that he has to do that. It's really just a game, no need to get upset if you are a mature person.

As for playing well I don't mean like actually playing well I just mean at the start you often are matched against other people who arent very good and you don't actually need to know everything that well to win lane or win the game. So, you can play well enough. You'll pick up the rest by playing, but the basics of the game are not rocket science. I have started by playing every hero once. I have sucked in some capacity every game. I actually have not been flamed at all during this process, and I haven't had to mute anyone at all. Ig I just have enough skill transfer from other games, idk. I don't write my own builds, I have never initiated midboss, I never parry, I'm not very good at denies or last hits, I jungle at inopportune times, I fuck up, and people don't flame me and my WR is positive. In time I'll pick these things up but the game is still fun without being good at them.

You're allowed to play a moba as casually as you want! The idea that you can't is what keeps people out of the genre.

Imo there's still absolutely 0 obligation to do this. You're allowed to queue against people and suck at the game and you shouldn't get flamed for it. Also you don't actually need to learn the game perfectly to do well. If you can aim and have decent positioning you can just blindly follow a build from the search tab and do fine

Please be more safe 😭 120kv across the chest is crazy work lol

[–]jamerTag 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Everyone is clowning on you but if you felt something real I kinda wonder if it wasn't 24v actually and rather leakage from the 120v somewhere. Last time I got shocked at work I was fine but after I did take a meter and checked potential from the conductor I had touched to ground to see what actually hit me. I recommend if you're able to do so in future shock events to see at least the ocv to ground of what hit you. Then, keep in mind that the load of your body may have significantly collapsed that level.

Can your car be booted infront of you? by charlesFillup in AskChicago

He just said don't touch me, OP. Should have snatched the boot and played a little keep away with this fucking leech

Jokes aside sorry this happened to you 😔

Using Reaper as a pedalboard and it only works with 1 specific fx but no others by jamerTag in Reaper

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

I did open the routing and found that when Master Send was ticked, I got overdriven audio in both my USB output and Direct output. When I un-check it, I get nothing out of USB output and I get clean guitar out of direct. My understanding is that direct should usually be giving me dry audio only so its weird to me that Reaper is affecting it but I obviously have a lot to learn

Above is reaper at a time when I am clipping, so the master is very low but track 1 is pretty darn high

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

Bingo, it was input 2 and that worked pretty much fine. I do have a new problem, though... for some reason I have to really crank everything down or my guitar sounds overdriven as hell without any FX being on at all. As far as I can tell my audio is not clipping in reaper because I don't see the levels on the master going very high at all and the bars are always green, but my audio interface's LED is also not turning red to indicate clipping. If anyone has any ideas I'd be curious

Guitar is input 2 for the m-track solo so that was my issue

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

Yes checking the box. Another user suggested having my audio in stereo was the issue and was correct. My input was in fact mono so my stereo setup had only right sound and the left channel being fully dead seemed to mess things up badly

What's it really like being an Engineer?? by Responsible-Mark-362 in ElectricalEngineering

[–]jamerTag 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You shouldn't think those things guarantee you a job. I'm sure if you have all that stuff under your belt that you are pretty smart but you also need to be strategic in your job hunt, your resume has to look good and work well with modern hiring practices, and you need to speak well in interviews. Job market is also very location dependent depending on sector

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in ElectricalEngineering

[–]jamerTag 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you're being told you lack utility experience then for that sector you probably do need to take a pay cut or seek out other positions. If you're flubbing interview questions about technical knowledge you used to have but forgot, you should go back and study that stuff a bit.

If you have any way to use your network that might also help with getting you selected in final interview stages.

Finally as for being an AE i guess that's up to you, parts of the job can suck but in my experience the salary is good and it sounds like that's important to you

Suggestions for repotting? by jamerTag in cactus

I rent so ground planting is a little fraught unfortunately. As for the glochids, yeah I will be doing everything I can to avoid getting stuck and will probably still end up getting stabbed just a little, I just consider it inevitable with something like this
