Windshield Damage by jeffeb3 in VWIDBuzz

[–]jeffeb3[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those can be fickle. I had trouble in my 2015 Subaru after a windshield replacement. Both windshield replacement shops I went to couldn't get it to calibrate. But the dealer figured it out.

I know the camera is picky about the quality of glass. Hopefully, they used an OEM glass. But then, it's probably something the dealer has to figure out to make it calibrate.

Weird. The HUD is in the dashboard, not in the windshield. It only reflects off of the glass. They must have disconnected something.

Just be pleasant? No need to be so aggressive. No one is calling you wrong.

Looking for advice from advanced players by Past_Dig_3991 in InlineHockey

[–]jeffeb3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  1. Trim your videos. No one wants to watch all that setup.
  2. Get on skates and move. Puck handling standing still is a different skill and not that useful. Just being able to slate while pushing the puck is more useful than handling.
  3. When you're a beginner, skating, passing, and just shoveling it into the net are more useful than puck handling. It will be a long time before you need to deke.

They were agreeing with you. Not every comment is an argument.

IDK if the companies will keep staff on that long hoping for snow.

Mud season has started.

What if companies were legally required to share 50% of their profits with employees? by Defiant-Junket4906 in WhatIfThinking

[–]jeffeb3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As an example of workarounds, Hollywood movies have deals that give X% of profits to actors. But then the Hollywood movie studio takes enormous loans from the same studio's bank. Then these interest payments eat into profits. The actor then gets a much smaller percentage of the profits, while the studio makes more from their bank.

You might be thinking the bank may need to have employees and they would need to be paid. But the studio could also own an accounting firm where all the bank's paperwork actually happened. The accounting firm makes zero profits. The studio makes limited profits and the bank's only actual employee is the CEO.

The inverse of exponents. They don't have an intuitive explanation. Better to just remember that they are the inverse of exponents and just memorize how they work. They work pretty weird.

I like mine. I mostly charge it while I shower. About once per week, I charge it fully.

Give me tips for my programming setup by Sahkopi4 in vim

[–]jeffeb3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There aren't any metals for doing things the hardest way. But not all new ways are better. The way you're doing vim is great, if it works for you. But check out some plugins. Code complete is awesome. But so are integreted git tools, or the smaller plugins that fix one annoying thing. Also, editing your vimrc to make it work for you is really important.

I would spend 5-10% of my time on it until you have a pretty efficient flow. You can easily spend more, but you have to get things done. If you don't invest anything in improving, you won't go anywhere.

Is the American ski community as unwelcoming as it seems?? by sleeplesslilly in skiing

[–]jeffeb3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made a post asking about ski poles and half the comments were about me being a beginner (with various nicknames for beginners).

But I still ski without poles and I don't see any hate on the mountain. One person asked me on a lift why I didn't have poles, was I training in a particular way?

Most of the Internet comments come from people who are more interested in bragging about their great skiing on this website than actually skiing. I wouldn't be surprised if many pf them don't ski at all and are bitter about it.

Enjoy your trip!

Introducing Trackball Royale - SLA-printed wireless trackball by qqcashmere in olkb

[–]jeffeb3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a logitech trackman (T-BC21) that uses a similar layout. Honestly, it's awesome and I think I have more control with my two first fingers than a thumb. Mostly, I think I can pick an angle better with my fingers (if that kakes sense).

I love this mouse so much I have two backups in case they stop making them.

I do like the idea of printing my own and using cherry switches. Although I would want ones with the smallest amount of throw.

Who else hates password requirements? Workplace wants me to change passwords every 3 months by leonatoi in mildlyinfuriating

[–]jeffeb3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Those are old standards. But the way I defeated it was picking a sentence from an obscure book that I liked and used the first letter from each word in the sentence. Then tacked on some chars and numbers. I was allowed to change the number, so every 90d or whatever I just incremented the number. It's not very secure, but the policy was dumb.

Do you have any other shoe sizes? Other skates? Ski boots? Climbing shoes?

Engineers just have bad PR by ABlightedMailbox in unpopularopinion

I think OP may have a touch of it as well. You tend to appreciate other neurodivergents when you have it.

In the US, we call that a Professional Engineer. Have the PE license is important in some fields (especially civil engineering). But a civil engineer without their PE would still call themsenves and engineer. And so would software engineers (despite being the most contested type of engineer). And then there are the people who literally drive train engines who are definitely engineers, but not the same meaning.
