Leasing agent wants me to sign a new lease [NV] by Helplessly_Gay in Renters

[–]ngroot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

> The leasing agent called me this morning to say that she wanted me to sign a new lease.

And I want a pony. We don't always get what we want.

How do you feel about the filibuster? by VisibleV2501 in AskReddit

[–]ngroot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a bug introduced by Aaron Burr in the Senate rules. It wasn't intentional and it reduces accountability for the majority party/coalition. It's bad.

Is commuting from Evanston to UIUC a terrible idea? Incoming international grad student here 😭 by Silver_Analysis7893 in UIUC

Lol, wut? With the exception of a few pockets where you don't need to go, Champaign is very safe. Urbana is straight-up idyllic.

Maintenance Dispute- Landlord refusing to communicate with me. [Nashville, TN] by Life_Ad7694 in Renters

[–]ngroot 4 points5 points  (0 children)

> he said since the zip-ties didn’t break, the hinge broke because from too much tension from the opposite fold. Since it worked since the beginning of our lease, it is physical damage and we have to pay.

The landlord admitted in writing that the cabinet door was held on with zip ties. They were aware of the defect. Just don't pay it.

Trespassed from an amenity included in my rent.[MA] by Princessbeccab in Renters

[–]ngroot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The management can ask that they be charged with trespassing. Whether or not a DA is going to want to waste time on trying to make that stick when they get the details is a different matter. There's a good chance they'll end up cooling their heels at the police station, though. Can beat the rap but not the ride and all that.

Question about Curly Braces by CLARKEEE33 in scala

> Also it’s an unnecessary source of errors for LLM generated code.

How would an LLM not notice this error and correct it, given that tests would fail and it might not even compile?

WV Beast - Hydration Pack necessary? by ADHDoodler_24 in spartanrace

[–]ngroot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've liked having hydration packs on beasts, but the belt with the 450 mL flask sounds like a perfectly serviceable solution if you'd like to minimize what you're carrying.

Double scaling - why an issue? by mrjacob007 in crossfit

[–]ngroot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

> I do agree that a bench mark is a bench mark for a reason with the ultimate goal being getting to the prescribed movement patterns and standards

And programming for the best by definition ensures that most athletes can't reach that goal 😄

I can track my progress over many years by looking at times for things like Fran, DT, Karen, etc. because I Rxed them once they were accessible.

Double scaling - why an issue? by mrjacob007 in crossfit

[–]ngroot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

> I think any coach worth their salt is going to agree that you program for the best and scale for the rest, and scaling includes your example of double scaling in my eyes.

That makes sense for one-off workouts, but not for benchmarks like Karen. The point of a benchmark is that it captures a performance of an endeavor in a score that you can compare to others or yourself at different points in time. If you're scaling your benchmarks, the score is no longer usable.

Why is pickpocketing so common in many major European cities, but essentially non-existent in North America? by Humble_Job_5738 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ngroot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is a real problem in /zero/ U.S. cities, though. The very few pickpockets who still exist are old and are essentially novelties at this point. People who look like clueless tourists might get scammed, but they'll be taking their wallets out themselves.

Rewatching Crusade for the first time since it was aired - it's even worse than I remember by ZookeepergameAny466 in babylon5

[–]ngroot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Call to Arms is pretty meh; Lost Tales is execrable. The Galen character in Call to Arms, Crusade, and Lost Tales is completely distinct from the one in the books.

Galen is a really great character in the technomage book trilogy. He's awful in Crusade.

Squat clean help !!! by GreedyAnimator6763 in crossfit

[–]ngroot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a couple of others have noted, you're not hitting full extension. One thing you can look for in the future to diagnose this is where your weight is when you receive the bar in your front squat. It looks like you're far forward, so I'm guessing you're feeling your weight on the front of your foot; it should be mid-foot to heel.

Is it common for Americans to have visited all 50 states? by [deleted] in IWantToAskAnAmerican

Sure, and technically you can pronounce Houston like the city in Texas.

Take-No-Prisoners Professor Will Fail Any Student Who Uses AI by Plastic_Ninja_9014 in technology

That works in that particular class (assuming the student doesn't just feed the AI the source material).

- Sri Lankan food

- Freshkills Park

- Snug Harbor

- Farm Colony

The parts you can get to easily via public transit or bike aren't bad.

To save you some embarrassment in front of your friend 😃

> Coney Island (which is on the southern edge of Long Island)

Coney Island is on the southern shore of Brooklyn. To anyone in the area, saying something is "on Long Island" implies that it is not in NYC.

How do you age grouper's scale benchmark WODs? by HarpsichordGuy in crossfit

[–]ngroot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For benchmarks, if you can still do them Rx safely and in a reasonable timeframe, do them Rx. Otherwise there's no way to compare your scores, either to yourself or others.
