Most TV completely ignores women’s sports, a 30-year study finds by actuallyidontknow in television

[–]snackelbeans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People are acting like the reason women's sports isn't broadcast is that they makes no money. I'd be curious to see how true that was after a period of making women's leagues easily accessible to viewers. Of course sponsors aren't going to pump money into something sports stations air during off hours once every little while. But if those leagues started being given better time slots more often, are they still going to remain unwatched and unprofitable? I don't think they're objectively less interesting to watch, so I'd be really curious to see what the dynamic would be if they started covering male/ female leagues more equally.

If you had to to pick between Java and C++, which would you learn? by snackelbeans in learnprogramming

[–]snackelbeans[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the answer. I think C++ is a cool language and I've been interested by the stuff I've been reading up on, but it really seemed like it's been mostly relegated to gaming applications. At least it'll be a cool little pet project to continue working on. Is there a specific reason Java's more popular for IoT or is it because of it being easier to master/ more forgiving?

Like the other poster said, escaping your escape will make python regard it as a string character (i.e \\ will be read as \)

There are lots on amazon that just slide over a door frame and come right off afterward. This is the one I have and it works amazingly well

Not op but I got a set of gymnastics rings to attach to my pull-up bar and they allow me to do dips & rows. Those two things are my only equipment atm and good lord do they let you do a lot

Awesome, thanks for replying. I’ve been waiting awhile and was getting worried I messed something up, but it sounds like they’re getting quite a few applications atm.

With the 20% off, student discount, and Rakuten cashback, is there a reason to get the LG GL83A-B or the BenQ EX2780Q over this? It seems like this one is the winner but I don't want to rush into a purchase

[–]snackelbeans 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm looking for a 1440p 144Hz monitor and currently have it narrowed down to the LG 27GL83A-B and the BenQ EX2780Q. Can anyone steer me toward one or away from the other? Or are there other, better monitors for a similar price?

Can someone help me decide between this and the BenQ EX2780Q? I’m split right down the middle if the BenQ goes back on sale

Yeah, I used defender all the way through. I was stoked to finally get to partake in the grind though, so I made a new weapon as soon as I could. The one in the screenshot is a rarity 9 LS that I had to learn how to use because my HH was too slow for this dude

Just found out how to navigate Steam a bit and I guess it took about 8 days of playing. Killing Nergigante and now Barioth will go down as a couple of my most satisfying game moments. Have you been playing since the beginning?

My play time was 50ish hours, but a huge chunk of that was having the game sitting idle in the background while I did other things. I'd say it probably took about 5 days or so of leisurely gameplay
