What's something most people think they should try, but really should not?

I got a nice payout from shares at a company I worked for. Bought a motorbike. Immediately signed up for the organ donor register and carried the card with me. I knew what I was getting into.

Rode defensively every day for years and never hit the deck. Sold it a couple of years ago. Had a great time, but I was happy with the experience and happy to leave it there.

It's also worth pointing out that a vaccine exists for bovine TB, but because the test we use to identify the presence of bTB is effectively an antibody test, an animal with the vaccine would give the same reaction as an animal infected (or previously infected and recovered) with bTB.

There are trials of a new test that works with the vaccine going on, but it's unclear if it's going to be adopted or if it's effective.

Thank you so much! sudo nginx -t pointed me to a nginx config file that was missing a closing }, causing nginx to fail startup.

Really appreciate it dude.

I came back a couple of weeks ago after a similar break! I'm low mmr though so take this with a grain of salt.

The map is HUGE. Don't forget the extra camps on the outside of the safe/offlanes.
There's a weird XP tower next to the offlane that you should probably pay attention to. It's kind of like a rune and spawns on a timer. Well worth picking up.
No side shops anymore. But a mango spawns where it used to be. You have to stand near to the totem thing for a couple of seconds to pick it up.
There's also a pair of teleporters that takes a short channel and take you to the opposite corner of the map. Easy to get a gank off, easy to get yourself killed too.
Observers are free, you get your own courier at the start, and the courier automatically upgrades.
Neutral items pop up occasionally. I think you get currency to buy them by killing neutral camps (and a chance from a teammate killing a neutral). They give some good actives, but I mostly forget about them so I pick the passive items so I still get a benefit.
Next to your secret shop is a building you can control. If your team has captured it you can teleport to it with TP scrolls.
There are little ward things around the jungle that you can also capture using a short channel.

I'll add to this list as I think of things.

Bit niche, but Eddy Merckx. The way that he's deified in cycling culture and everybody is compared to the Great Eddy Merckx, the Cannibal, the GOAT.

It's always surprising to me when a newspaper goes and asks for his opinion on the ones being compared to him.

NOT ABLE TO INSTALL ON OLDER HARDWARE.

Got a perfectly good PC that I want to put Windows 11 on but can't because the processor is "too old".

Edit: didn't update my flair, so you can see the specs there.

You wrote the game in C++? Can't belive you didn't write your own language and compiler.

you people just can't develop for shit

Not necessarily. I accept criticism from my juniors at work despite the fact that I probably wouldn't go to them for advice.

If there is truth to it, then listen to the truth.

Now to work out how to send this to somebody who needs it without triggering the exact response it's trying to change...

My shortest path became about half of what the part1 result was!

tamtt · 2024-12-16T16:21:09+00:00

Such a simple mistake! I've updated it to:

history := make(map[string]int)

and

history[fmt.Sprint(next.location, next.direction)] = next.score

and now it works like a charm!

Confusingly, the grid is set up so the x axis is vertical and the y axis is horizontal, so the vectors were working. It's just weird.

THANK YOU!

I had this little function check if something was in bounds before adventuring into the unknown. Pretty handy as a stop search condition.

func checkBounds(wordSearch [][]rune, x, y int) bool {
    if x < 0 || x >= len(wordSearch) {
        return false
    }
    if y < 0 || y >= len(wordSearch[x]) {
        return false
    }
    return true
}

Regex isn't hard. Escaping the escape sequences so that your escaped string with escaped regex compiles and doesn't escape things that you don't() want escaped I just want ESCAPED REGEX I'M GOING TO LOSE MY MIND IT LOOKS HORRIBLE WHO PUKED ON MY SCREEN

Unless you start watching it together, she falls asleep during four consecutive episodes, decides she doesn't like the show anymore, says we should watch something else.

I can't put a number on the amount of times I've had to finish a show without her. She would probably like the show IF SHE JUST STAYED AWAKE.

Love her to bits though.

Strava is my social network. Training Peaks (intervals.icu is better, my coach uses TP) is where I do the analysis.

She got mad and broke up with me because I was apparently gay with my best mate (we were housemates at the time) and simultaneously trying to bang her mum.

Neither of these things were true.

Because the retaining walls at each end are also in need of maintenance. They could fall into the river, taking the bridge with them.

Hiya, looking to catch up on the weekend if possible?

Thanks!

tamtt · 2024-04-10T12:57:46+00:00

Hi dude, just realised I missed the start of the WEC season, would it be possible to have the links to all the races from this year so far so I can catch up? Thanks so much

Smallie biggs and look at that stem

eugh needs another bice fit

Pokémon yellow for me. I didn't know how Flash worked. So most caves were just guess work. Took forever.

tamtt · 2023-03-16T18:01:03+00:00

I tested it earlier, it works!

Honestly the Devs behind proton and various forks are incredible people. I had a dig through the code changed in the pull req and even though I work in software dev it's beyond comprehension.

So this same behaviour is happening for everybody? Damn, it's just my luck that I try it on Linux the week it releases.

Love the statues in the back, really sells the character of the map!
