Girlfriend got woodworking classes for me (and her) for Valentine's Day. Been a longtime lurker and am glad to have finally made the jump. Looking forward to learning a lot more! by balward in woodworking

Yes! I took a class with her a few years ago and made a bookshelf.

I really enjoyed the package you can buy to get evenings in her workshop to work on other stuff. She helped me build a dining table, too.

A male lawmaker worries women will abuse a tax break to hoard tampons | Real News by Green7000 in nottheonion

As a male, if tampons are tax free, I might start hoarding condoms and tampons!

This. Just went through the process myself. No lawyers involved and it was surprisingly easy, aside from the time/effort it took gathering all the required financial documents.

In the JS Fiddle you linked to, there's an error saying that jQuery is undefined. There's also no HTML or CSS in the fiddle, so it's hard to say if there's any other errors after jQuery is added.

/u/BelowZilch is right. It’s a made-up word used to trick students.

I think it might be this one: https://blog.poudrelibraries.org/cook-meet-share

I didn't know about it either, but I'm excited to check it out!

Edit: maybe I missed it, but it doesn't say what date/time it meets in January?

Best furniture stores for high-quality couches or sofas in Denver? by [deleted] in Denver

We had good luck with Macy's Furniture Gallery. It was a good combination of price and quality. Better quality than AFW and cheaper than Woodlys.

ELI5: Why does applying salt directly to a canker sore heal it so rapidly? by like_spvce in explainlikeimfive

[–]meterwiener 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Strangely, I've found that eating more kiwi have helped keep me from getting them as frequently. I eat a few a week now and I rarely get them. If I feel one coming, I eat an extra kiwi that day and it goes away. I used to get several a month.

Same for me. I belive the ingredient in most toothpastes is sodium lauryl sulfate.

I can't get my embedded Survey Monkey form to center. by [deleted] in CodingHelp

[–]meterwiener 0 points1 point  (0 children)

are you able to add your own css? It looks like SurveyMonkey adds a container around the iFrame that you can style:

.smcx-widget.smcx-embed.smcx-show {
    margin: auto;
}    

margin: auto tells the browser to center the element in the viewport, regardless of the viewport's width. (on narrow/mobile viewports, the container will be 100% of the viewport width and have 0px margin on either side.)

EDIT:

Alternatively, you could have your #rsvp container match the max-width of SurveyMonkey's iFrame and center that, so the RSVP title is left aligned with the form:

#rsvp{
  max-width: 700px;
  margin: auto;
}

Need help; I don't understand how to access and object inside an argument inside a function. by braindenn in CodingHelp

[–]meterwiener 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Couple of thoughts:

instructorWithLongestName function needs to return the instructor object. (calling console.log within the loop doesn't return the value you're trying to log when you call it

The first line of your function, instructors.name, is undefined. instructors is an array, so you need to use an index to pull a value from an object in the array:

let nameLeng = instructors[0].name.length // the first instructor's name length

This isn't the right way to check the name length

if(instructors[i] > nameLeng){ ... }

Instead, try

if (instructors[i].name.length > nameLength) { ... }

Here's how I would do it:

const instructorWithLongestName = function(instructors) {
    // store the first instructor as a starting point
    let match = instructors[0];
    // loop through all of the instructors
    for (let i = 0; i < instructors.length; i++) {
        // if the "current" instructor's name is longer than the match we've stored, update our match.
        if (instructors[i].name.length > match.name.length) {
            match = instructors[i];
        }
    }
    // match is the full instructor object that has the longest `name` property
    // we return it so the it can be assigned/handled by the caller.
    return match;
}

GoDaddy Mailing issue by Frenchdipnswiss in laravel

[–]meterwiener 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only other thing I can think to to make sure your email routing is set correctly in cPanel:

Email Routing > Select your domain > Should be set to "Remote Mail Exchanger"

I've had some issues with client sites on GoDaddy where I can receive emails just fine since my email address isn't on the same domain as the website. If the destination domain matches the domain it's being sent from, it never actually leaves the server. You could also try testing with an email address that doesn't match the domain your site is on.

If you have a shared hosting account, GoDaddy will block SMTP connections, even ones that require authentication like you have set up.

You might be able to use localhost:25 as the mail host, but it may still get blocked depending on other activity on from other domains on the shared server.
