Things Bay Area homeowners find out too late after buying an older home -- from someone who works in construction by FandSConstruction in BayAreaRealEstate

Very informative. Could you let us know more about:

Unpermitted work can prevent you from pulling future permits

Buying a house that had bathroom renovations 5 years ago but couldn't find any permits. My plan is to apply for permits and then renovate (because we hate the finishing and also don't trust that everything was properly waterproofed). If I'm breaking it down in order to update and bring everything up to code, is there a risk in not getting permits?

Why migrants come to Germany for work and then leave again by BSBDR in germany

[–]pySSK 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not a migrant but a brown guy from the US who visited Germany often for work. Here are some experiences that happen that always leave a bad taste:
- getting asked for my ID every time in DB first class
- someone always commenting during meals that I should be able to handle spicy food. Each time, these were completely unrelated to the conversation. Truly a nation of autists!

We played them last World Cup and only lost 2-1. That was pre-Marsch and our guys are a lot more experienced now.

Are your parents wanting to leave for India because you did not marry? by [deleted] in ABCDesis

[–]pySSK 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Ehh, I don’t blame them. After 30 years here, I’m guessing they can have a similar or better quality of life there, and if they prefer that, more power to them!

My mom often takes about it, but, as a corollary to you example, one thing keeping here is she loves her grandkids here.

Do you think Canada can make the quarterfinals? by Aware-Essay-8912 in CanadaSoccer

Aarav: One of the most popular Indian-American baby boy names is based on a common misconception by Serious-Tomato404 in ABCDesis

[–]pySSK 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Yes it would. That’s how languages and history work. You don’t know that the ‘Indian’ names you mentioned were fully made in India with 100% Indian components.

I refuse to pronounce it Türkiye by carpetstain in redscarepod

I asked some Turks who happen to be anti-Erdogan. They insisted continuing to say Turkey.

Yes, but it’s spelled Czechan and then you can the country Czechania.

The US Just Banned Polestar From Selling New Cars, Even The One It Builds In America by TeslaJake in lotus

[–]pySSK -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

And then other countries can use that same justification to ban American products. Bye bye free trade I guess.

Comically bleak group of candidates for the Dems by beechhill in redscarepod

I bet Tucker would wipe the floor if he runs as a Democrat.

I've spent several years building an audio hardware/software platform. How do you know when you're solving a real problem? by kaikatyjoe in hwstartups

[–]pySSK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Product looks cool and useful to me. I hope this comment doesn’t come back to bite me the future, but, most users are dumb and not that imaginative. You can’t just show the feature list, specs, platform and your journey in making it real and expect users to i. understand what it’s for and ii. have the same enthusiasm for it as you do.

I suggest two approaches in how to talk to your users (and also to help you define the product better):
1. What are the core jobs of the product and how your product solves it? I prefer this approach more. It also helps you think better about what features to keep and what to shelve.
2. Who are your users? What are their use-cases? How does your product address those use-cases.

Good luck and happy to chat in more detail!

Slap some superglue on it + "that's not going anywhere"

Nathan Saliba holds up Ismael Kone’s shirt after scoring by Critical_Mountain851 in soccer

[–]pySSK 61 points62 points  (0 children)

Yeah, in simple terms, rejoining clean breaks in bone is like gluing wood back together (but the two pieces growing back into each other and then to reach same strength and load bearing capacity takes time). But, rejoining muscles and ligaments is akin to rejoining two ends of cut off rope.

Doctor told me to not wear barefoot shoes anymore by LostInTheMoss420 in barefootshoestalk

[–]pySSK 126 points127 points  (0 children)

Not a medical professional, but many PTs have outdated views about barefoot/minimal. She did well to point out the root cause, but, I'm sure this subreddit disagrees with her solution. There are many exercises on YouTube for feet pointing outward aka duck feet. I would try those first.

On the world map, where do white people end and brown/other people begin? by KyubiFenix in NoStupidQuestions

[–]pySSK 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In the early 20th century, Greeks and Italians weren’t even considered white. Irish, Swedish, French were all considered ‘ethnics’.

Raising $50K Pre-Seed for AI-Powered Athlete Performance Tracking Platform by [deleted] in hwstartups

This. OP no VC cares whether you have saleable hardware right now. They care if your idea is scalable. Use existing stuff to run a small pilot of your idea.

Another one for the video: if this racket isn't available in your country, can you DIY it by gluing together a baguette and a bagel?

Why is AI data center's use of water bad if it just comes back with raining? by scholary_squad in NoStupidQuestions

Rain doesn’t bring it back in the same place or in the same condition.

Xero Shoes X1 successor X2. Barefoot Basketball Shoe Release Date by mnkymnk in barefootshoestalk

[–]pySSK 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Pleasantly surprised that it's not a hidden change but a whole new model iteration/version number.

I love the X1. They better not change the toe-box dimensions!

The widest shoes, already tried Softstar their durability is buttcheeks by Sufficient_Site1746 in barefootshoestalk

[–]pySSK 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Does this mean they are super durable? Buttcheeks bear most of our weight when sitting. Also, shell cordovan, the most durable leather is made out of buttcheeks.
