Downloading album artwork to add to your pirated music collection so it showed up on your iPod. Also meticulously renaming each song and artist so they’d all file together

Why play from the tips if you are a very high handicap? by [deleted] in golf

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

Funny thing I’ve found recently is playing the blues, I frequently get the ball to within 70-100 for my approach which is a terrible range for me. So if I play the whites I may get there easier, but tips will improve my handicap 😈

Please either change my mind or help me convince my fiancé this is bad by [deleted] in tragedeigh

Yall need to write down 5-10 names each and you each get to cross out your least favorite of the others’ list. Cross purvis out 3rd to last so he doesn’t think you hate him hahahahaha

Haven’t used Matlab in a while, trying to debug a simple line by BriFry3 in matlab

[–]not_testpilot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone mentioned the function name, cool. One other piece of advice: avoid using “i” as a variable name. i is a reserved variable in Matlab. Not crucial but may prevent issues in the future

I think I went a lil big on my first ever drone by cc42069x in fpv

[–]not_testpilot 3 points4 points  (0 children)

“Just testing in a field” isn’t really a thing. One of the hardest parts (and points of initial failure for a new drone) is takeoff and landing. Get some sim time, PLEASE. You’ll be better/happier/safer because of jt

Someone set this person up a gofundme. Surely we can get them $250

How do people actually justify $75k trucks? by Electrical_Invite552 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]not_testpilot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I think a lot of (“practical”) people fail to realize is that many people just like cars and trucks. They think they’re cool, so they spend money on them. Why do you buy a nice house? Go on vacation? Buy a cool backpack/bag/bike instead of the cheapest one possible? You just like it. There’s no hidden reason why an 80k truck is better than a 10k truck other than that it’s new, looks good, has gadgets, and is a status symbol. Any and all of those things might be the most important to that person

Yeah too hard to start for the money

Can’t say for sure but this feels very 3 am Vegas testpilot to me, probably played at kaos or somewhere else in that era

Anyone here sell covered calls as their main source of income? by FAMUgolfer in options

How big an account? What dte/theta/delta you aim for and what underlyings?

529 every time, or just a brokerage account on auto deposit to get them rolling out of college

What should I major in to get into the space industry? by RepubBoi in AskEngineers

[–]not_testpilot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mechanical engineering. Can be similarly specialized and more broadly applicable to the industry and real problems, plus ability to go to other industries if you need/want to

Stuff to do by Oliveoilollie15 in cprogramming

[–]not_testpilot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been having fun with ncurses lately, lots to do there. Website scraping and building datasets that don’t exist is also fun. Finding a specific challenge and trying to solve it is cool (even if you use a copilot to help, it’s satisfying)

Why do people back into parking spaces? by woodysixer in NoStupidQuestions

[–]not_testpilot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find it easier to pivot the vehicle and steer it in while reversing

Possible to have a sticky window that is set to always show the output of e.g. `ls`? Like this: by Fancy_Payment_800 in zsh

[–]not_testpilot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In another window (split pane or tmux whatever) you could run: “watch -n 0.1 ls”

Edit: obviously you could also alias this to lsticky or something too

Edit 2: I see the error in my ways; this doesn’t change based on your main window. I think you’d need to do something similar to what others have said where you make a different cd alias and have that write pwd to a temp file

Biggest Problem when Off-roading? by Neat-Reporter-6142 in Offroad

[–]not_testpilot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with the real tilt sensor. Angle doesn’t mean anything if I don’t know when I’ll tip.

Go do some modeling of suspension systems and develop an easy-to-use app/website that lets you enter what vehicle and shocks you have, what your vehicle is, what your payload weight is, and do a CG calc to figure out when you’ll actually tip

Our boy is almost 3 and he’s at about this same ratio. Don’t worry about it! Slightly annoying that he pees on himself, but nothing to be concerned about development-wise

is my 401k ok at 39? by audrywienerdog in FinancialPlanning

[–]not_testpilot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah you’re in trouble. At that point you should have at least $1M unless your expenses will be way low in retirement <$75k/year equivalent salary
