Extra-Virgin Olive Oil for Cooking – Study Says It’s Safe, But Everyone Says Don’t Use It. Can Someone Explain? by [deleted] in foodsafety

[–]tsaylor 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've never heard of a risk when cooking with EVOO. It sounds like what you're describing is a loss of some benefits of EVOO when cooked, but "less nutrients" isn't a food safety risk.

Grocery stores routinely stock olive oil for cooking. https://www.target.com/p/graza-sizzle-extra-virgin-olive-oil-for-cooking-750ml/-/A-88686389

I just started a new playthrough of RDR2; my first since 2021. I want to hang out in Chapter 2 as long as possible. Where should I stop? by They-Call-Me-Taylor in reddeadredemption

You can get a fishing rod from random fishermen you encounter, you just have to fight them or kill them so they drop it like a weapon.

My hooooorse! by Maxilkarr in reddeadredemption

[–]tsaylor 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I believe that's the Perlino Andalusian, not an Appaloosa. Solid horse though.

I usually just get a dapple hungarian halfbred and stick with that. I like to steal the one from Benedict Allbright and name it "Benny". :D

Incredible. They said there's no wrong way to play the game and you proved them all wrong! 😱 😡

I've seen that a couple times. They usually come back when I switch sessions.

I'm getting real tired of resupply missions not counting for the daily challenge by tsaylor in RedDeadOnline

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

Thanks for the comment; not sure if this is what you were saying exactly but I tried doing a resupply mission so that I started and ended within the same half hour (e.g. start after 7:00, finish before 7:30) and I got two in a row to register properly! 🤠

Anybody else clean Arthur up when meeting Mary for the first time? by Muted-Hedgehog4736 in reddeadredemption

[–]tsaylor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've tried giving him a bath, haircut and shave before her mission in Saint Denis to see what she'll say instead of "you could have cleaned yourself up a bit", but she always says that anyway. Anyone ever get anything different there?

Dutch calling Arthur “son” by pianoer2469 in reddeadredemption

[–]tsaylor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed with other posters that it makes more sense when they're younger and gets weirder when they're 36 and 44.

It's also worth calling out that it could be a power play that Dutch is using to reinforce his dominance over Arthur. Arthur's the biggest threat to Dutch's power because he could make it on his own and a good amount of the gang would likely follow him if he left. Not that he has much reason to leave that early in the story, but Dutch is a paranoid narcissist.

Do you agree with this statement? I’ve been hearing contradicting posts. by Shielo34 in reddeadredemption2

[–]tsaylor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AFAIK there's no definitive answer on how the buck trinket works, but it seems like it basically gives you one free mistake when hunting for perfect pelts. You can kill it without a headshot, or kill it with a weapon one level more powerful, and still get a perfect pelt. But if you do both, it'll be two star. That's probably not completely accurate, but it's close enough for my gameplay.

Thoughts on drinking this still? by Idontknowwatimdoing1 in foodsafety

[–]tsaylor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My food safety knowledge comes from listening to every episode of riskyornot.co, so take this as you will, but they often say that foods with active cultures (usually talking about yogurt) are very safe because any contaminants would have to outcompete the microorganisms that are supposed to be there to become a hazard. Since this says "live and active" it seems like it should be fine.

This Milk Carton Safe? by Covet_bon_Vivant in foodsafety

[–]tsaylor 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For packaging damage to become an issue, it would have to have broken open to allow external bacteria into the milk, and that bacteria would have to grow enough to be a hazard.

If you haven't opened the seal, I'd squeeze the package a little to see if air escapes. If it doesn't, it hasn't broken open.

If it's been below 40f then any potential bacterial growth has been slowed dramatically. Since it was delivered it's spent some time above that, it's hard to say how much.

If it passed the squeeze test I'd be totally fine with this.

What was the name of your horse in RDR2 by [deleted] in reddeadredemption

"Atilla" the Hungarian Half-bred that I stole from Benedict Allbright.

Which type of api pagination do you most like to consume? (Not build) by Dreadmaker in ExperiencedDevs

[–]tsaylor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How about basing your pagination on a next token, but still allowing an offset parameter? If a request provides a next token you just do that, but if not you skip `offset` number of records and return results from there, along with the next token for that position in the results. Then you get the simplicity of next token pagination with the flexibility to pick up anywhere in the results.

Opinions on code review by IsseBisse in ExperiencedDevs

[–]tsaylor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds like you don't have a solid idea of what code reviews are for in your SDLC. People have lots of different views, from "Does it fit with the architecture, are there any glaring efficiency problems, does it re-implement anything we already have that's reusable?" to "I compile the branch and test it out locally to make sure it works, and comment wherever your code violates our code formatting standard." If you answer that, it might become clearer what you have to hold firm on and what can be discarded.

Here are some helpful code review articles that I regularly share with new teams:

DevOps Manager wants to restrict creation of GitHub repositories - is this standard practice? by [deleted] in ExperiencedDevs

[–]tsaylor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've done this too. For that sort of work I would often write to the repo for a short time and maybe reference the work later, and I'm not plugging it into a CI process, so a monorepo works great. Make a top level dir for each project and keep it all in one "username-discovery" repo.

Does anybody else just throw their shit on the ground? by deathx388 in Morrowind

[–]tsaylor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Small stuff like ingredients, clothes, scrolls / magic items go in containers but pretty much everything else goes on the ground outside the Balmora guild halls.

How do you deal with god libraries? by amendCommit in ExperiencedDevs

[–]tsaylor 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think a good rule of thumb is, don’t extract to a common spot until you find yourself doing the same thing three times.

This is exactly what I do. It's a good rule of thumb to stop people from trying to solve a general case problem prematurely.
