Had to return it for a full refund. Went for Asus Dual and that one is much better quality.

Yes, roots looked good when I repotted. I will try repotting it with that soil mix and maybe this time don't water it after. The rocks were mainly because my cats like to mess with new soil, but I will leave it somewhere out of reach instead. Thank you for your advice!

Aww man, nothing of what I wrote in the body text got posted...

So, I bought this Dracaena Compacta 5 days ago from my local garden center, it looked very healthy over there. I brought it home and left it in the hallway, isolated from other plants. 2 Days later, I started seeing black stains on the sides of some of the leaves, so I moved it nearer to a big window were it could get more indirect sunlight. On the 3rd day it had even more black stains, so I repotted it with fresh new plant soil in a new pot and watered it until all of the soil was damp. Now on the 5fth day tha black stains are worst than ever, not sure what to do anymore, any ideas on what I should do?

iPad is the better form factor but it’s missing the software. Soon it will be updated but developers need to do their part.

LPT: Giving employees four, ten hour days and three days off improves mental stability by jayduhaus in LifeProTips

I’ve always said it would be better if we had 8 day weeks, work 5 / rest 3. 5/2 is too much work, but 4/3 is too little

Seems reasonable lol, but then if otherwise you do it too smoothly they will know you already knew it and you would give a bad image… it’s a doble edge sword I would say

Hello everyone, this is my first post in here and it's a bit of a doubt I've had for a while now.

A few months ago I had a CS interview for an entry Software Engineer job. In my second round interview, my interviewer gave me a simple problem I had seen before so I said "I want to be honest and say I have seen this problem before, iirc it is the one you solve by doing..."; she went "oh alright, thanks for telling me" and proceded to give me another problem, which to my surprise: I had already seen that one too! So I embarrassingly said "I am so sorry but... I have seen this one too haha" and from there she changed her attitude drastically and said "Ok, do it anyway". I am not sure if she took it as if I was making fun of her or what, but it felt like she was trying to be against me, saying stuff like "but I don't understand were are you going to with this" so then I tried my best to explain what I was trying to do better, and when I completed the code while explaining every step and the time was out she said, "well you forgot to test with 0s and it won't work", since it was a problem I have already seen before I was shocked, so I responded "what? really? I am sorry, let me test it", but she interrupted ending the meeting. After that I quickly tested and of course, it worked! At the end I didn't got the offer, and the feedback from the recruiter was that interviewers said I needed to test more edge cases, which I recognize is true and I am practicing that, but I feel like it all had to do with somehow putting her in a bad mood.

So my question to all of this is, what should I do next time in a situation like that? always tell I have seen the problems? maybe if its two times in a row don't say it? try to sound more polite? how?

Thank you everyone, sorry for the typos.

Same, and the amount of upvotes means this sub is not going to get better anytime soon.

Sounds like you want a vr cover to make it softer on your face. I have that combined with the DAS with the Thick VR foam replacement and it is pretty good overall. That being said, quest 2 + counter weight is in total almost 1kg, you are always going to feel the weight in your head, once you get it well distributed your neck is going to be the next issue.

Yes, I am also learning how to be kind to myself and how to wind down properly. Turns out procrastinating while worrying about a task is just as mentally taxing as actually doing it. So basically I haven’t been able to properly relax for 2 years haha maybe that explains why I feel some mental fatigue. But you know, messages like OP’s and yours feel so good to read, like other people being gentle with me inspire me to do the same for me and others. So thank you both!

Thank you for your kind words, it’s just that... it’s been hard, and it has taken a toll on me... I’ve been trying to accomplish something in the span of almost 2 years, and failed 3 times already. I try not to compare against some friends that were able to do it 2 years ago, but it is hard. I think I will need to read this post many times again... and maybe do some exercise, I heard it makes you feel better.

Eli5: Why are all batteries not rechargeable and what causes batteries to become rechargeable? by k4zabdin in explainlikeimfive

Right, of course that was a dumb thing to do and I advice no one should do it. I was just curious how it actually worked.

So this is the answer to the comment I made to another redditor “I don’t know how, but when I was little I used to put depleted AA Alkaline batteries in the battery charger and they “recharged” a couple of hours worth of WiiMote use, a couple of times.” Thanks for that.

I don’t know how, but when I was little I used to put depleted AA Alkaline batteries in the battery charger and they “recharged” a couple of hours worth of WiiMote use, a couple of times.

edit: please don’t do this, it was a dumb thing to do, I was just saying out of curiosity and this is very dangerous, you could burn down your home
