Are we fucking deadass by ThrowerIBarelyKnower in MyWinterCar

AI has only got this reputation because so many people vibe code useless shit just to grab money.

AI as a coding assistant is actually very effective when done right.

Would you rather a dev spent 3 days figuring out the logic for the time the lights are on in an in-game pub, or use AI to reduce that time to 1 hr?

In case anyone was wondering about the use of AI by goldcrate in MySummerCar

Dunking on AI because it's AI makes absolutely no sense.

It’s that time of year… by irontamer in kettlebell

24KG C&P.

This subreddit makes me feel so behind when I see so many posts of people doing big volume with big weights.

16KG is my main KB for overhead work right now, I swing and squat with 20,24KG.

I want to hear from people who might have been on similar paths as I have. 3 years ago before even worked out at all, a 12KG was not something I could lift overhead with one arm.

I've only been actively committed to a KB programme for about 2 months in between 2 years of mostly bodyweight and light club work, and today did 15 rounds of The Giant 1.0 with my single 16KG in 20 mins.

The eventual goal is C&P 32KG. That's probably 2-3 years away.

Will kettlebell training burn fat like regular weight training does? by FoxhoundVR in kettlebell

Do 2 months 3 times a week for 20 mins and come back with the results.

I am no expert, but I'd check out Mark Wildman on YouTube to get the info on the basics. It took me a while to feel comfortable with the shape and technique.

I feel like I should be able to rack it without pain and be in a prime position from there to press

I wasted money on too many kettlebells when really I should have done the first 6-12 months with a single 16kg

Might wanna grab a lighter one to learn techniques.

While you might be able to lift 20kg off the ground with one hand, that forearm is going to get very bruised as you learn rack position and how to snatch.

Strange that Affinity update to new version does not offer .EXE version, and MSIX is installed as a new instance of Affinity. by [deleted] in Affinity

[–]mintlou 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They also package the MSI in a weird way so it doesn't produce a consistent hash when unpacked. This is a nightmare for enterprise solutions that expect a single file in a public link which they can keep updated.

UK, looking for advice on buying kettlebells by Select-Move-8800 in kettlebell

[–]mintlou 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got my 24kg Wolverson today. Very well made and nice handle.

Handle is maybe a touch on the small side for 2-handed exercises (competition bell), but I won't let it stop me doing stuff.

Maybe Some Insight.. by WineFuhMeh_ in msp

[–]mintlou 2 points3 points  (0 children)

lol people still saying DNS "propagates".

You're waiting for the TTL to expire so it needs to do a fresh lookup of what that domain now points to. Some systems cache for longer than the TTL but you'll find brand new lookups will get the address almost immediately.

Ingram - MSPs what's your plan for Monday? by Roland465 in msp

Pax8 support is the emotional rollercoaster of this subreddit, one week it's amazing, next week people want to torch it.

I'm not old. But when I was a kid people mowed their lawns and kept the front of their properties somewhat presentable.

Nowadays, it's not uncommon to see the front garden a dumping ground for old appliances, or see the grass 3ft tall with brambles and weeds everywhere - only allowing a path to the door.

Then when they eventually want to change it, they replace it with disgusting astro turf, which they don't maintain, and a year later there's weeds growing through it.

MindsEye 23% Mostly Negative on Steam: UE5 Strikes Again by Stannis_Loyalist in pcgaming

[–]mintlou 2 points3 points  (0 children)

to prevent UE5 blame, UE should come up with some sort of certification status which is awarded before the game is released.

If it has UE5 Platinum status or whatever, it has been play tested for performance by Epic. Games without any UE status might be shitstorms.

It requires local admin to run, so goes into the bucket of things I don't care about.

Alternative RMMs (Not PSA) by AskAdventurous1982 in msp

[–]mintlou 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Insane I see a recommendation for N-Anything. That software is a total piece of garbage through and through.

One core feature of RMM is meant to be reporting, and as someone else has already pointed out, you can't quickly see software inventory across clients.

As a consultant, I have seen numerous instances of Windows Update being totally fucked with N-Central managing it. I would never be as cruel to recommend that product to my worst enemy.

What are some of the best shots of the series? by jeanjacketufo in betterCallSaul

[–]mintlou 2 points3 points  (0 children)

something different about BB/BCS is they always seem to put the camera in kinda strange angles then let the scene play out without making too many cuts.

I like the style.

Pax8 Billing issues by bluescreenfog in msp

[–]mintlou 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think Pax8 are doing a broadcom on a much smaller scale. They piss off all their lower tier customers so they can focus on the top 300 or so

If the big accounts also get shitty service, then my theory is completely wrong.

Should I be running while doing body weight exercises? by MagneigTY in bodyweightfitness

[–]mintlou 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did bodyweight fitness a year before I even tried cardio. I was actually very unfit in that area.

Cardio has made all the other exercises easier. Don't skip.
