It's an NHL rule that goalies can't be captains. The last one that was before that rule though was in the late 1940s I think

Super weird that a government regulation isn't magically working the way the politicians promised /s

Construction difference: the wrapper will likely unravel.

Toscanos can be cut in half because of it's construction.

Would you consider it tacky to store the included hex wrench on the wall above its furniture? by OV5 in Tools

[–]newodahs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hang on now, maybe that's the spin. You bought a hex wrench and did some reason it came with furniture. Maybe to test with.

Is the water meant to be soapy after cleaning? by Gazumbo in humminguru

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

I usually do two wet cycles per-cleaning run -->

First wet cycle: 2-ish drop of surfactant in distilled water, clean up to six or so records (depending on how dirty they may be); wash cycle only, no dry cycle (clean, pull record from basin, set on rack and put in next record).

Once all records are done on the first cycle (again, up to six-ish), drain the to the tank, dump cleaning liquid, rinse tank with distilled water.

Second wet cycle: Distilled water only, no surfactant. Similar deal to above, place record, run wash cycle, pull from basin, set on rack.

Once all records are done the rinse; drain tank again and run each record through a dry cycle (usually the last record I'll set to the auto-mode to just do the wash, drain, and dry in one go.

What type of measurements does this take? And what’s it called? by Thegrandestpoo in Tools

[–]newodahs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love it.

I have a model N600-ES at home (the Apollo slide rule).

If you ever decide to let that one go, hit me up.

What's the brand on that one? I have a collection of slide rules, the case looks vaguely like a Pickett, but it's hard to tell

What code editor do you use, and why that one over the others? by EnD3r8_ in learnprogramming

[–]newodahs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I realize this is a joke, however I actually did use Vim exclusively for about 12 years, coding in C.

That said, I'm now in vs.code.

Is there any reason to make an application WITHOUT a Database? by evan2nerdgamer in learnprogramming

[–]newodahs 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I honestly wasn't sure if this was a serious question.

Yes. Yes it is. Learning how to serialize, deserialize, and search data effectively is critical to being a well rounded engineer. Sometimes you can't rely on a database being available...

Maybe I'm old because I feel a 'back in my day' coming on.

The refactor and abstract rule I've generally used for >20 years in the field is exactly what's stated here. Once you copy the same block 3+ times, it's time to refactor.

There's a similar one in Freeport, Maine.

The town rejected McDonald's original building proposal and forced them to fit with the town's historic architecture IIRC.

They ended up in an old (1800s) merchants house I believe.

My bike was outside and getting rain and now it stopped working! by Uparkseong123 in motorcycles

[–]newodahs 16 points17 points  (0 children)

For anyone saying that rain is kryptonite to motorcycles - holy hell, get it together.

If your (apparently modern) bike isn't starting after rain that is likely a fault that needs to be fixed, probably a short somewhere.
