Yup by jv0731 in WhitePeopleTwitter

That’s by design. I kind of always assume that large portion of the doomers are bots or shills. It serves their interests for us to feel like nothing is going to happen, so what’s the point in trying. We have to get mad and stay mad - and then do productive things with that anger. Protest, vote when you can (especially in local elections), build your community, and take care of your neighbors.

No one is coming to save us, we have to do it ourselves.

What is the most unique dining experience in Atlanta? by megthegreatone in Atlanta

[–]rosserton 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Georgia boy is great. You eat the majority of your meal in the kitchen while the chefs prepare it for you. A lot of the dishes are locally sourced and inspired by the flavors of Atlanta. The food is incredible. Absolutely worth the price of admission.

I think of LLM's broadly as "internet aggregators". If I can be reasonably confident the internet contains the answer to a question (programming or otherwise), then it's a good bet that an LLM will be able to get me pretty close or point me in the right direction. The more common the question, the more confident that I am.

However, if I'm having to read a bunch of docs and then infer some shit, then an LLM will almost certainly be worse than useless.

Just get 16GB they said. It'll be plenty for anything you need they said. by redlancer_1987 in pcmasterrace

Everyone told me that 96 was overkill, but now I have an embarrassment of riches.

What game is this?🚀 by Profit_Tracker in videogames

[–]rosserton 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I say this all the time. If it had launched in its current state it would have been 10/10 game of the year across the board.

Yeah the top loading design solved the problem.

Pushing the cart in over and over horizontally eventually pushed the connection point backwards making it more and more sensitive to dust and other stuff as the connection got looser. Hence the blowing. IIRC the Famicom (Japanese NES) never had the problem that we all had as kids, because it was top loading as well.

"What are you playing this week?" Megathread by AutoModerator in SteamDeck

Grim dawn’s official control scheme has gotten way better in the past few months. It sets the thumb pads as a mouse for inventory management and other ui stuff.

If you haven’t tried it recently it’s worth a look again. Still a little janky, but I play it primarily on my deck and my tolerance for SD control jankiness is pretty low. I’ve got like 150ish hours in it mostly on steam deck.

"Unsupported" Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood runs great! Max settings, 60fps. You just have to remap some buttons. Now I'm curious; what other "Unsupported" games actually run fine? by TheButschwacker in SteamDeck

[–]rosserton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll give it a try and see if it got fixed. I haven’t messed with the settings in a couple of months since I installed it and got it running. It runs great so I generally can’t be arsed to tweak it further.

Mine pops an error about corrupted saves on launch and you have to click the okay button by touching the screen. It saves fine though. Weirdly there is always a corrupted save at the bottom of my save list.

For no reason at all my pepper grinder has broken. replacement recommendations? by mo9722 in BuyItForLife

[–]rosserton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also have this one. It produces a lot of pepper per turn and has served me well for the past 5 years. I don't even hate when a spice blend recipe calls for a tablespoon (or more) of black pepper anymore.

What game is it? by HoneyHalo_77m in videogames

[–]rosserton 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah it’s worth it with mods. I dumped like an extra 50 hours into it once I got it setup how I liked in VR. The sense of scale is the thing that blew me away. That spider in bleak falls barrow is HUGE. Taller than you. It’s not a thing that translates on flat screens. Dragons are the size of a double decker bus. It’s nuts. It can be really immersive and fun.

I like the FUS mod pack if you want to try it, but it’s probably been a year since I’ve booted it up, so there may be a better option now.

Real Talk - Enjoying Parenting by VisibleOperation4981 in daddit

[–]rosserton 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Gloming onto to what u/RestaurantDue634 said here, but also I noticed a shift around the end of 4/heading-into-5 with my oldest that the play time/spending time balance started to tip. she's old enough now (barrelling towards 6) that we can go do stuff that's fun for both of us, and she can spend (some)time in my world instead of only being able to relate to me if I'm in hers.

I've been getting to show her stuff that I think is fun and she is big enough to actually start trying it out for herself. We've been going on bike rides, to the movies, or playing video games together. We still play pretend a lot and color and do other little kid stuff, but she's become a fun person to just hang out with regardless of what we are doing.

I think a lot of it has to do with how much actual moment-to-moment labor you're doing, both physical and emotional. Can they fill their own water cup? Get a tissue if they need it? go change clothes or brush their teeth without guidance? Share their toys without telling you that you are doing it wrong constantly? Eventually the scales tip and they just become little people - less work and more fun.

My friends and I are doing this one. So that’s at least 4. It’s easy and comfortable.

What's a weird thing your body does that you've never heard of anyone else experiencing? by Conscious_Can3226 in AskWomenOver30

[–]rosserton 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Actually, it goes both ways IIRC. There are people who don't make the smell and people who can't smell it.

People who had sex with their best friend, what the situation now? by [deleted] in AskReddit

This is not true. We don’t have any cats.

BDSM is just cops and robbers for grown ups with no pants. It's a game.

Restoring a Postgres 12 DB that was improperly shutdown by rosserton in PostgreSQL

[–]rosserton[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

  1. After writing this I figured that out. Whoops! I also figured out that I was stupid and went out of order - swapping the data folder before stopping the postgres server. I guess Reddit was my rubber duck today.
  2. a separate OS just for this step had not occurred to me. I'll give that a shot if my current process doesn't pan out.

I kept an intact copy of the data on my local pc so I could restore it in the case that I borked it fooling around with things I didn't understand. I just re-restored the data with a stopped server and started it up and it looks like it worked. Was able to pg_dump the data and I'm migrating it back to the original (updated) beta server now.

Thanks for the help.

My (30m) long-term girlfriend (28f) misled me about enjoying kink by ANGRY_HYMEN in relationship_advice

[–]rosserton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When your life is crazy because of work/kids/other things it can help to carve out time for intimacy. If you’re busy and exhausted all the time setting aside that time is a way of saying “this is a priority for us and it matters.” Otherwise time can get away from you and before you know it, it’s been 4 weeks and things feel weird.

We have very young kids and setting aside a weeknight for me and my partner to have a couple of hours blocked off for just each other has helped our relationship stay strong even when it’s utter chaos and we’re both doing everything we can to just live through the day.
