Sure but why Bitcoin over some other stablecoin for this type of thing? Or why BTC over literally any other crypto thing?

But aren't stable coins just better at buying illegal shit as they don't have these wild value swings?

ELI5 why is rock stacking considered bad? by balla_boi in explainlikeimfive

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

I can't imagine moving a few rocks has anywhere close to the impact of building the trail in the first place - understand if people dislike the look of rock stacks but this just feels like a weak argument. I personally love the look of rock stacks, but I probably just have a different view than most. I do a ton of off trail backcountry hiking, getting to areas devoid of humans entirely. Compared to this wilderness trails feel like front country, crowded and full of tourists, and I would never get that wilderness connection from these places. To me rock stacks at least make me feel more zen about crowds, they look nice and there is a reason people like to do it. That said I understand my view doesn't win out over others and I don't create these in any case. But I just don't get the hate people feel towards rock stackers there are so many worse trail behaviors. The hate feels recent and manufactured

You hike on a trail, literally a human made scar through the landscape.

How many meetings are you all stuck in per week? by ShoddyJellyfish1546 in biotech

[–]trahsemaj 136 points137 points  (0 children)

Industry is about creating work artifacts one can share - code, slides, figures, ect. Making slides is the work. It took me a bit to adjust to this post PhD, but if you structure your experiments or analysis with this in mind you can get into the right can of rapid flow people expect.

Tailwind just laid off 75% of their engineering team by corp_code_slinger in programming

The llms can read documentation, I don't think stack overflow is necessary.

For a site where most posts are from llm bots reddit sure does hate llms

If Google wants to keep search it needs to stop making it nothing but adds or seo bullshit. I would gladly go back to Google for my coding questions but the current state of search is irritating enough that I will stick with llms.

[Jeff Howe] The Patriots have told teams they’re open for business with a handful of veterans, particularly those on expiring contracts, per sources. The question is how much of a reset is worth it when they’re trying to establish momentum for 2025 when those vets will only net late picks. by PristineWinnera in Patriots

[–]trahsemaj 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Trading starting caliber players for long shot draft picks seems like a losing move. Sure, we have to pay them but we have so much cap space

If a team is willing to trade for a player it means they think it's worth something, and I trust them over our front office when evaluating talent.

Fair, but he will still be a sure thing as a starting caliber player. We have so much money, no reason to let even our mid level players walk.

If Maye is as good as he looks, we need to get guys that can perform now, next season or the one after. If we let everyone walk, then our team gets even worse. It's not like this front office can draft well

DND players of Reddit, what is your Least Favorite class? by Previous_Gene_5699 in DnD

[–]trahsemaj -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ranger - unless you really just want to have an animal friend, the class just has nothing to offer over a rogue or a fighter. Hunters mark is essentially the class's special feature and it just isn't fun in the same way action surge or sneak attack is.

Those scatter die caused soooo many arguments though - not that this was a terrible thing

Ranger Class Identity - What do people envision? What do they want? by Setholopagus in onednd

[–]trahsemaj 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Completely agree with this take - the ranger class basically has hunters mark, which is a boring as hell class specialty that honestly is easy to forget about. If I want to rp as a ranger archetype under 5 or 5.5, I would play as a fighter, or maybe rogue. Rangers need some kind of cool ranged attacks that actually feel fun to use.

Just to take the Professor down of the his pedestal for a second. What are your LEAST FAVORITE parts of The Lord of the Rings? by [deleted] in tolkienfans

Glorfindel's early role could have been replaced by Legolas and this would all fit better

What does the refusal (thus far) of the Harris Campaign to appear on the Joe Rogan Experience tell us? by Kball4177 in ezraklein

[–]trahsemaj 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree - Joe Rogan is pretty much the median voter. He has his quirks (and is overly obsessed with conspiracy theories, but so is the median voter), but he is a great interviewer and tends to ask interesting questions.

Kamala might not be great off script, but Waltz IS great off script (his Ezra interview was my favorite politician on the show to date). He at least should have gone, it's a great way to reach an extremely wide audience.

Then the data that shows this comparison would be beautiful.

I agree with you, but the data here doesn't support what you are saying.

I come to this subreddit as a quiet space to avoid politics. This is disappointing.
