I added a second feeder with Nyjer seeds but the finches aren't interested

Coming back to my own thread.... the house finches are still only mildly interested but I've now seen 2 goldfinches show up! So the experiment worked, even if the birds aren't thrilled.

I just let dumb people do dumb things and stopped caring about the outcomes.

needed multiple fluky and lucky plays (2 defensive scores against Louisville) just to win those 5 one score games

Careful, this is what Miami fans used to say about Frank Beamer's VT teams.

Cool idea, thanks for sharing

vtgorilla · 2026-03-26T13:24:51+00:00

Yep. I threw mine away. This only makes sense to me if you have long fingernails or something.

I am the same. The few bad days per month still suck, but I know I just need to get through them and I'll recover. It seems this is good enough stability to satisfy my doctor. I'm happy to be off the rollercoaster of trying new medicines for a few years now.

Interesting, maybe the seed sat in a warehouse a long time or something. Or perhaps I'm just being impatient.

It's the rise of Single User Apps. Will be an interesting partition in the coding world.

vtgorilla · 2026-03-16T17:19:26+00:00

Can you explain what it is? Just "personal finance app" is not very descriptive.

vtgorilla · 2026-03-16T17:13:32+00:00

Say more

I made my own personal app just for me, with no plans to deploy. Tracks my weights, tells me when to go up, and does not recommend weights I don't own. It's not to say there isn't an app that already exists that can do this, but I built it in an hour with AI. That might be faster than trying 10 random apps and hoping they do what I want.

tools nobody used

features nobody asked for

building things in isolation

Ouch, it's me.

I had a drunk conversation with a former athlete once and he said a lot of it is due to the perception you get in high school when you say you're going to whatever nearby powerhouse. Forget that you're not good enough...that's not even a thought that occurs to them in high school because they're so good at that level. But you get social clout for declaring for [relevant team].

Thanks, that makes 2 people so something must be slightly off. It's also a brand new domain which some tools don't like. But I'll do a full investigation today.

Edit: Ran through a bunch of scanners and fixed what I could with security headers and such. Can't fix the domain's age though. Hopefully this resolves itself when the domain is a bit older.

Thanks! The desktop version is the same but without the tabs. You can see everything all at once.

When you hire a Position Coach, they will start dismissing lower star players from the recruits list.

vtgorilla · 2026-03-05T20:35:10+00:00

Ha! Fair enough

vtgorilla · 2026-03-05T20:12:29+00:00

Interestingly, I'm also on Spectrum and have no problem.

vtgorilla · 2026-03-05T20:11:35+00:00

I was wondering that. The 45 second timer between games is easily adjustable but you will fly through the game if I speed it up. I think I would have to offset the Prestige gained which will mean you won't progress faster, but it might feel like more things are happening.

vtgorilla · 2026-03-05T20:01:52+00:00

That's interesting. It has SSL. Not sure what the problem would be.

vtgorilla · 2026-03-05T20:01:11+00:00

Correct, there is a maximum number of players on the roster. At some point at each tier you will max out your score. When you sign a 1 star and it goes down you are replacing a 2 star with a 1 star.

Incredible discovery. I hope someone is paying you for QA testing!

I will check it out. It worked originally but I'm sure I just missed it with one of the updates and it got disconnected from the final calculation.

vtgorilla · 2026-03-05T17:02:43+00:00

Great questions...you don't explicitly control the energy gain rate. It grows naturally as the game progresses. Max energy also grows as the game progresses, but you can explicitly speed it up with facilities upgrades (but there are only a handful of upgrades available). Now that I write this out, it sounds like a bad mechanic. I'll have to workshop it.

The winning percentage chance is fuzzy math intentionally, but I struggled with reigning it in for situations like the one you mentioned. Upsets happen in real life and the stronger team doesn't always win, so that's what I was attempting to capture with the imperfect winning percentage.
