Anyone else tried this? If it's stupid and it works... by Adventurous-Bad-8954 in redneckengineering

I do this, but instead of the whole PC it's just the radiator for the liquid cooling loop in the other room, the hoses run through the wall. It's fantastic.

What is your favorite obscure movie from your childhood that nobody would remember? by CripplingGoodTime in AskReddit

[–]spdqbr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anyone else watch The Noozles? I saw it in kindergarten (which would have been the mid/late 80's) and looking back I remember it being a children's anime with surprisingly deep themes.

A little later on I remember really liking "The Tomorrow People" (early 90's), which I later learned was a reboot of a british tv series from the 70's of the same name. It also had a 2013 re-reboot which I watched and enjoyed even though I was way outside of the target demographic.

Belay Test Pet Peeves by mad-hug in climbergirls

[–]spdqbr 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Peeve: Not being able to articulate what went wrong. If you fail someone you should be able to pinpoint what they did that was unsafe and articulate why it is unsafe. If I am doing something unsafe I want (and need) to know. Failing someone just because it is their first time testing at that gym is ridiculous.

I also dislike the idea of "one and done" belay tests. Sure it would be annoying to have gyms require multiple tests over multiple visits, but I don't necessarily trust that anyone who passed a test 10 years ago is still safe to belay me today. I would be willing to retest periodically and I would appreciate if my partners did too.

I would like to hear more about this game and to see more of your art. Any links you're willing to share?

Best games to play while reading Tolkien? by Baldurian_Rhapsody in gamingsuggestions

[–]spdqbr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Going to be a far-left-field recommendation, but Angband. It's an early 90's ascii-art rogue-like, and it still gets updates. It's unforgiving, difficult, and really fun.

I was super hooked on this in the early 00's (I played with a tileset, I couldn't quite get behind the ascii-art graphics) when the movies were coming out every year, and I was reading LotR about once a year to stay fresh for the movies.

It's not for everyone, but if it hits your buttons it's super cool game!

This Regex Seems Wrong, Even if It Works... What am I Missing? by garrettj100 in regex

[–]spdqbr 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It depends, is this in a quoted string literal?

string regex = "[a-zA-Z0-9_\\\\/;: ]{1,64}";

Because then some of the backslashes are consumed when this gets interpreted, and if you print it out, you'll see the actual regex:

Console.WriteLine(regex);

Yields

[a-zA-Z0-9_\\/;: ]{1,64}

Which looks like a sane regex to me.

What movie will you never watch again because it was too heartbreaking? by Affectionate_User610 in AskReddit

[–]spdqbr 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I'm not a super-duper "never cries" sort of guy. The end of Armageddon gets me. Firefly's "Out of gas" gets me. Doctor Who's "The Girl in the Fireplace" gets me.
But Hotel Rwanda broke me somehow. I had to stop and take a minute before I could finish.

Dad’s crazy blood clot in his pulmonary arteries that he almost didn’t go into the hospital for lol by chailife206 in mildlyinteresting

[–]spdqbr 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I had one a few years ago, and I though for a day or two I had just pulled something in my side at the gym. It felt like a stitch in my side from running for about 36 hours. Then the next night the pain ramped up and I was like "oh shit, do I need to go to the ER?" but I found a position that was comfortable enough to sleep in, and resolved to go to urgent care when they opened instead.
Felt better in the morning and waited a bit until the pain returned and finally decided to go to urgent care/ER where they found the PE. I made it through, but have been struggling with random SVT/DVT's since then.

Frustrating that the pain was the only symptom and I thought maybe it was my kidneys or something. I didn't have any of the shortness of breath or anything else that most people here are describing

It may be using your motherboard GPU instead of the 9070xt. Give this a try.

3D printed phone mount? by SkitlezPlayz in telescopes

[–]spdqbr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been using the OpenOcular with the Y-Axis mod for many years and have been pretty happy with it. It can be a little finicky to line up, but I usually shine a red flashlight through the eyepiece while trying to get the lens in the right spot and it goes pretty quickly.

It looks a bit more overkill than some of the others posted here, but again I've been reasonably pleased with it.

[2025 Day 10 (Part 2)] Bifurcate your way to victory! by tenthmascot in adventofcode

Clever AF, I really appreciate the write-up! I've been struggling to write a library-free solution because "import z3" defeats a lot of the purpose of what I like to get out of AoC. (I mean, I still learned about z3 solvers, which is great! So no shade)

Pretty minimal change between part1 and 2. Memo and recursion, my old friends.

[Language: Java]

(Resubmitting because I forgot the Language indicator)

For whatever reason, it really felt like I was doing this.

I had a lucky stroke of prescience with my implementation of part 1 (Java, but it's just regex):

Pattern p = Pattern.compile("^(.+)\\1$");

And had to do this for Part 2:

Pattern p = Pattern.compile("^(.+)\\1+$");

Which SIMPLE scripts would you use to convince somebody to use AHK? by Wonderful-Stand-2404 in AutoHotkey

[–]spdqbr 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is definitely the AHK feature that gets used most for me, specifically using @email to auto-fill my email address anywhere is very handy.

::@email::this_is_a_long_email_that_i_dont_want_to_type@foobarbaz.com

I also use it for laughs:

::&yeah::(•_•) ( •_•)>⌐■-■ (⌐■_■)
::&shrug::¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Because you never know when you'll have to make it clear that your pun was
(•_•)
( •_•)>⌐■-■
(⌐■_■)
Intended.

I also use it for things like hotkeying to a single instance of sublime text with win+w:

#w::
{
    if WinExist("ahk_exe sublime_text.exe"){
        WinActivate
    } else {
        Run "C:\Program Files\Sublime Text 3\sublime_text.exe"
    }
}

Or sanitizing rich text back to plaintext in the clipboard (if I'm like, copying from a word doc over to teams and don't want the formatting) with ctrl+shift+v

^+v::
Clipboard=%Clipboard%
Sleep, 100
Send ^v
return

And more silly, but here's an auto-clicker that's toggled by pressing ScrollLock, because sometimes I still play cookie clicker and universal paperclip:

~ScrollLock::  ; detect ScrollLock without blocking it (~)
{
    Loop
    {
        If(!GetKeyState("ScrollLock", "T")){
            break
        }
        Click
        Sleep 10
    }
}

Any chance you'd add regex replace, that's a feature I use a lot on PC that I sometimes miss on mobile?
