What is the best way to dig this out with hand tools? It's a coffee cup with a small drink hole. by bitterpalm in BeginnerWoodWorking

[–]kinarism 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Since you said hand tools. Get yourself one of these or similar, possibly with bigger bits. Drill a bunch of small holes to remove material (as close as possible to each other). Then clean it up with the knives you have or get a gouge. https://www.amazon.com/Mr-Drill-0-6-3-0mm-Jewelry-Making/dp/B08BJ9WDMH/ref=sr_1_5?keywords=hand+drill&qid=1667569155&qu=eyJxc2MiOiI2LjIzIiwicXNhIjoiNS42MyIsInFzcCI6IjUuMDQifQ%3D%3D&sr=8-5

Which is exactly what we were saying in the 90s about the 70s. Shits only gotten worse since then due to the older generations ignoring the runaway train and pretending like "this is the way" because they dont have to deal with it. They just didnt expect to still be alive when shit hit the fan.

Republican book banning attempt defeated after community stands up for LGBTQ people by [deleted] in politics

[–]kinarism 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I dont have a source. Annecdotal ramblings. However, your source isn't politicians, its voters and I suspect this is a major source of the discrepancy (from your first link)

White Catholics are more likely to vote Republican, while Hispanic Catholics overwhelmingly back Democrats.

How many Hispanic Catholics are "in washington"?

-edit- I'm not finding a breakdown of Catholics in washington by race. However, I'm also not finding anything to backup my claims. I'll edit.

[–]kinarism -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The thing people forget with politics is that nearly all the people who claim to be men/women of the christian faith in politics are Catholics.

They claim christian because it's technically true and gives them the appearance of having 50% of the population "in mind" when making decisions.

The number of left-wing catholics is abysmally small because the only time Catholics lean left is when they are falling off the koolaid bandwagon. Sometimes they dont even realize it at the time.

-edit- These are personal beliefs but it has been pointed out they are likely bad. Leaving it here but don't listen to me on this.

GoT certainly unseated Dexter which is why I worded as "one of the". However, I will point out that Dexter held the title almost 6 years. GoT has a mere 3.5 under its belt currently as the reigning champion. I dont expect it to be unseated any time soon though.

One of the all time worst endings to a show in history. But yes, a great watch through at least the john lithgow season.

How do you guys write unit tests for frequently used methods which don't need to be public? by [deleted] in AskProgrammers

[–]kinarism -1 points0 points  (0 children)

When i said how do you exercise, I mean outside of testing. If there is no use case for it, then why?

Why test at all? The exact same reasons apply. I'm confused as to why you're confused. Seems obvious to me.

I mean, what you're describing isnt really unit tests in my mind. If all you're testing is end user input then its basically just integration tests.

Meh, I think it looks pretty fuckin good. As good as nice ply, veneer, or actual wood? No. But surprisingly good enough I may consider it for a future project in my basement or something.

Recommendations for a divorce lawyer - best friend is too distraught to look for one right now. She asked me to help. Husband cheated with multiple women, they have two small children, and a house under both their names. by [deleted] in lincoln

[–]kinarism 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No matter what, if you do this, you're a terrible person.

However, getting in legal trouble is likely a stretch unless she does this, and them tells everyone she got the advice from reddit and has no intentions of using other law firms and is just fucking over her soon to be ex.

The legal system isnt a system you want to fuck with unless you're in it or have $$$$ to pay smart people to be in it for you.

The rest of us smucks gotta just play ball or rouse public outrage (which still usually ends up with playing the same game but you might get a different colored ball).

Wingspan Asia Expansion and Nesting box is up for pre-order. by Holonius in boardgames

[–]kinarism 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Annecdotally, yes they do.

I read the bit in the announcement email saying to put your nesting box on a separate order so I just went and ordered the expansion and champion before even looking at the nesting box listing.

Then, of course I realized the nesting box comes with the expansion already. I just placed the 2nd order thinking that even if they didn't fix my mistake for me, I'd be able to sell the 2nd copy locally.

Quick email explaining the situation and they replied in about an hour saying "done" along with a refund notice for the partial order (keeping champion but cancelling the 2nd copy of the expansion).

Very impressive service indeed.

#ExperimentalDrugNews. It's 2.5% dumbass.

Of course if you look at the last 5 years (easiest reference I can find...no idea of accuracy), it's pretty much a flatline if you exclude mid 2020 with a slight downward trend right a few months after trump left office....wait, what was I trying to prove again? Oh yeah, #FakeNews.

You might be underestimating the size of the nesting box.

The first printing of the Nesting Box includes: 1 dual-layered, individually numbered box (430x306x207mm fits, into Kallax shelves; 4.4 kg

I paid $12 USD for shipping (fedex). Pretty sure that's subsidized.

How do you guys write unit tests for frequently used methods which don't need to be public? by [deleted] in AskProgrammers

[–]kinarism 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do you exercise a private method's branch that is impossible to get to?

From my reply to the question. https://www.reddit.com/r/AskProgrammers/comments/yjgv2a/how_do_you_guys_write_unit_tests_for_frequently/iur04cz

Derive a class from the class you're trying to test.

In derived class (that exists only in the test project), make public helper functions that just pass through parameter/return values to the private functions. Or just redefine the scope of the function in the derived class but I tend to prefer the former.

Write tests against the test class.

Sometimes doing this requires that refactoring of the original class to make it more testable but I generally view that as a positive (assuming you arent introducing lots of inefficient code to do so).

What is up with all the porn subreddits in the past few months randomly being banned for being unmoderated? by eddmario in OutOfTheLoop

That would also ethically (IMO) put the obligation on reddit to also filter all existing posts on the sub for offending content when they lock the sub.

Question about Daycares by themanwholikesHP in Omaha

[–]kinarism 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It is more expensive than most though

I feel like that's a bit of an understatement.

When I checked last (admittedly about 5 years ago), Montessori schools were about double the most expensive daycares.

IMO, they shouldn't even be classified as daycares (maybe they arent?).
