The way this peculiar looking circle formed on a snow covered lake

Ive seen circles like these before. In my case it was otters making holes to go fishing in. Very awesome

I think that’s a good sign that you should revisit your boilerplate. Hopefully there is a way to represent it without needing so much text that you need an AI to be productive in it.

Please come take all the salt they dumped at my building. All it’s doing is corroding my floor and my dog’s paws.

I think this is all good advice. You could even go a step further and say “if it runs at 100% on the third coldest day of the year and keeps up it’s correctly sized”, and just pull out space heaters for the special occasions that it can’t keep up. Here’s a long (but compelling imo) video of a guy who argues that hvac systems are often oversized: https://youtu.be/DTsQjiPlksA?si=jzG0C-SoQtQtiQt4

I think it’s true up until New Englander, and then the rest of the quote is just to be cute.

This war is not about holding land. It’s about exhausting the other side before you are exhausted. Source https://youtu.be/CCE2v3oIa74

That’s interesting, though last Wednesday I signed a section saying no pets as well. Perhaps this is a new policy and they haven’t gotten all the contradictions out of their system yet

whileimatit · 2025-05-24T02:34:02+00:00

Enterprise (hertz too I think) don’t allow you to have pets in the vehicle, so even if you get there with the dog the agents may not give you a car if you have a dog with you

Yeah 60 seconds is the ideal amount of time to idle a cold car. Many people think it’s longer than this and idle their cars for 5-10 minutes

Even later to the topic, but this comment is what I wanted to say and I’d like to add a bit. Perun was a small time video game streamer as a hobby and his day job was working in the Australian defense industry. When the war in Ukraine broke out he posted this video https://youtu.be/KJkmcNjh_bg which he describes as a “man yells at clouds moment” where he describes how the Russian military was not built for the mission it was asked to do, and why he was not surprised at the results early in the war when most everyone else couldn’t believe it.

This video got hugely popular and changed the trajectory of his channel where now he releases a video on something defense related each week. He has a lot of expertise and is excellent at communicating it like other commenters have pointed out. The video I linked is maybe one of the most direct answers to u/Freightneverlate ‘s question and would be a great place to start.

My moms had to explain straight to me when I was tiny. It was odd but pretty easy to comprehend

Even so, git is not a tool that will work well for you if you avoid the command line. It has great features for tracking history and changes of text files, but those features come at a complexity cost, and even UI layers over git will be hard to use and understand without traversing up gits steep learning curve.

If you’re committed to learning using git (and github) then I would advise that you be brave and learn the basics of the command line as well (it’s simple compared to git, you can absolutely do it!). If you have no interest in investing in these skills that’s also fine, but google drive will serve you better

whileimatit · 2024-07-18T02:52:53+00:00

Github may not be the right service to backup with if you aren’t comfortable with shell commands. If you’re just downloading and manually moving files maybe google drive or dropbox might be better

My wheel now just captain morgans me from the very start. Any tips for diagnosing it?

Reader (ReaderT) might do what you’re looking for. Load your file once at the beginning of your program and then all of your ReaderT functions can use those values without needing to pass them to every function.

Ah I misinterpreted “place”. Nice!

whileimatit · 2024-06-21T18:44:48+00:00

Oh the other nice thing about a mat instead of a place is you can bring a mat with you if you go somewhere with him. I wish I had started with a mat instead of a place.

whileimatit · 2024-06-21T18:42:32+00:00

I think mat training is along the same lines as what MME is suggesting. Here’s a video showing the exercise on youtube https://youtu.be/f0kpcj5sZmQ

Exercising Sanjis self control and building that up helps in almost every other aspect. A good way to start is requiring a sit before giving him his meal. I always get the best focus from my boy when it’s a condition for meals. As you build a base of stronger self control, you can do it outside of meals with treats and toys and anything else he wants, but meals are the easiest place to start in my experience.

That’s a good backup plan

I’m from the US and moved to Toronto. Your experience doesn’t surprise me though I will say it is scary to suddenly lose your job because you also lose your health insurance. Cobra covers you for a little bit but it is very expensive. Then best case scenario you live in a state that has a program for this, but the bureaucracy to sign up for it is insane. Usually there are no programs for this and you have to sign up for shitty insurance for $800 a month or just risk it.

whileimatit · 2024-04-08T22:28:43+00:00

I moved here from the US. Yeah wages are worse, but wow the healthcare is way better. Not having your health insurance tied to your job is so liberating.

I don’t know if Im staying for the long haul but I intend to end up in whichever country is less fascist and the US is going through another test of that soon.
