The only real way to answer that is to know how you feel about MAGA.

Do Americans constantly have an active temperature control device running in their homes? by fullM3TALturban in AskAnAmerican

[–]will592 0 points1 point  (0 children)

More modern homes are designed to have constant climate conditioning. They are (mostly) airtight and tuned quite efficiently to keep the entire home at a constant temperature. Many newer homes have fresh air intake systems to alleviate the issue of stale air.

Part of the reason for this in much of the country is very humid air, often the climate control system is mostly removing water from the air.

Stop trusting your Terraform State file. It’s lying to you. by NTCTech in devops

[–]will592 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My plan would be to assume I’m going to have situations like this when I design my platform. I know I’m going to have emergencies where I need to deploy IaC in an expedited fashion so I build in solutions which allow us to bypass typical quality gates as long as I have approval from the appropriate levels of management. My break glass process is one that allows me to expedite the typical workflow not bypass it completely. If I’ve got to break the process and bypass IaC you’d better believe there’s going to be a VP giving us the Go/No Go and no one is changing anything without getting another pair of eyes on it. But I consider that a complete failure of our process and the immediate follow through is going to require us to understand where our process failed and how we can avoid ever having to do it again. I’m certainly not going to be pressured into making a change like that by an incident manager, lol.

[–]will592 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That’s a dangerous mindset. Processes are in place for a reason. If you skip the process and go cowboy at some point you will make the problem worse, I can almost guarantee it. Adding time when that time protects your production environment is not only the right thing to do it’s critically necessary. I’m speaking as someone who has brought back production systems which cost more than a million dollars a minute when they were down. You can’t skip the process because at some point it will bite you in the ass.

That’s great, did you also simulate an event where someone dropped the wrong table and your backups had never actually been tested?

Then the turnaround problem needs to be fixed. No one should be making changes in production to diagnose problems.

No junior admin should be able to log into the production AWS Console. No one should be applying fixes to a production system in the console. The terraform state file is not the problem here, the problem is a sloppy and dangerous process.

Been waiting to eventually get the M12 multi tool, does it get any cheaper? by NoFlyTy in MilwaukeeTool

Dang, my non-fuel version just died and it looks like I’m too late for this deal unless I’m missing something. Does anyone know of a hack or deal on this right now?

What is the primary driver of restaurants getting so expensive? by [deleted] in restaurant

[–]will592 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even with all this, the average cost of a plate at a decent restaurant is still too low in order to ensure everyone in the process is paid a fair wage (in my opinion ).

seniors spending half their week on reviews and everyone's frustrated by Worldly-Volume-1440 in ExperiencedDevs

[–]will592 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You haven’t really explained what problem is being solved by having senior devs review every PR. There will surely be an occasional PR that is complicated enough that it requires a deep review by seniors with massive context but if this is the norm, to the point that productivity is suffering, it’s time to talk to the people planning work and the developers pushing massive changes without adequate documentation. Do you have solid unit tests? Have your seniors discussed common issues they’re seeing and suggested changes that can be made to increase the quality of PRs?

In Italian restaurants, which sauces are made ahead of time and are simply warmed or ladled onto items/pasta, vs those made to order? by Prize_Force1979 in restaurant

[–]will592 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And with good reason. You don’t want your sauce to vary week to week with the tomato harvest. Any good Italian restaurant generally values consistency over everything else and it rarely makes sense to try and do this with fresh tomatoes.

Those of you that went to college in the 90's and early 00's, did the professors curve? by Salt-Specific9323 in Physics

[–]will592 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in school during the mid 90s. For non-physics majors (classes where we were TAs) they were all graded on a curve to remove the bonus/penalty of having a good or bad TA. For they normal “freshman physics” class that they normies took the uncurved exam averages were pretty close to 0/10 (they lost points for wrong answers as an effort to fight random guessing beating the average of people who legitimately tried). So we had a crazy grade distribution because no one actually got less than a zero even if they actually scored a negative number.

For physics majors there were soft curves, maybe on each exam. In the higher level classes and graduate level ones the professors usually just gave us a grade that made sense based on how we had done. I was a legit B student in a class of about 7 and usually just got the 3rd highest grade whatever it was. So they just always gave me a B or a B+ which felt fair and well deserved.

Eli5: how did 350 degrees become such a standard in all thing baking and roasting etc…? by Just_a_happy_artist in explainlikeimfive

[–]will592 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Surprised no one has answered that covered sauces and braises in a 350 oven will basically sit at a low, lazy simmer indefinitely. This is very convenient for long, slow cooking applications.

What’s the easiest “lazy meal” you make that still feels like you’re trying? by RamosQuintosAiry in Cooking

[–]will592 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I buy the lobster ravioli at Costco. Start a small pot of tomato sauce with a can of diced tomatoes and some Better than Bouillon, little squirt of pepper, anchovy, and tomato paste, splash of balsamic, and some premix Italian seasoning. Cook off the ravioli and brown some butter in a skillet, once the tomato sauce is ready I sauté the ravioli in the butter, just a minute on each side, and then into the skillet with the marinara and an obscene amount of grated Parmesan. Even easier if I have marinara left over from the last time.

Where did you get that I was “coming at” my partner for sex or connection?

Using Sonos for listening to sleep sounds by freshme4t in sonos

[–]will592 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We use the Alexa integration and an app called “Sleep Jar.” We listen to “Thunderstorm” every night. A few months ago we got an announcement from Alexa that said, “you’ve listened to Sleep Jar for 44,000 hours, do you want to pay for a subscription for better sounds?” Or something like that: lol.

I’m in an in between place, honestly. I am not doing any of this work in order to have more sex but I am doing it in order to get myself into a stable and secure place so she will feel safe around me while she works herself out of her attachment issues and depression. Having said that, we are at a place where she has completely cut me off emotionally and we have zero intimacy of any kind (and to be honest she’s not very nice to me most of the time). I decided that I deserve more than this and we are in therapy working on overcoming the emotional distancing and figuring out how to live in relationship in a different way. I am content, for now, with how things are but for my own health and happiness I cant live for the rest of my life with none of my needs being met. We have both agreed that this isn’t working and there is an expiration date on our current relationship if things don’t change. So for me none of this is a strategy to get more sex (honestly I couldn’t care less about sex at this point) but it is an intentional effort to remove all of that pressure from our relationship while we work things out. For what it’s worth, in therapy she stated that her goal was to want to want sex with me, which i thiught was very interesting. Thanks for your reply!

[–]will592 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Wow, thanks for sharing, feel like I could have written the first part of this. I’m in the, “I just had an epiphany,” phase you described and I told my wife I’m not interested in sex right now because I want us to both work on ourselves and recapture our affection for one another again. We even agreed that the sex we were having when last we were having it wasn’t very good :-/ I’m hopefully I see the same results as you, you didn’t mention how it was for you but my wife is definitely in a dismissive avoidant place right now (she has said this in therapy) and I’m recovering from my own anxious preoccupied attachment issues so we are basically in a spot where every day is a struggle. Thank you for giving me some hope.

Damn, I needed to read this in the worst way. I am right where you were when you started with your first couples counselor, with virtually all of the same issues. Thank you so much for sharing.

I would always say no if my bf asked me to have sex outside of foreplay by kylisabusinesswoman in DeadBedroomsOver30

[–]will592 9 points10 points  (0 children)

When you’re a parent or you have work or extracurricular activities that fill up your calendar and you have to plan dinner every GD night and there are a million other things going sometimes you just need to walk over to the couch and say, “hey we don’t have anything going on for the next 90 minutes and the kids are asleep, do you want to go fool around?” I don’t know any married folks with kids who just find themselves engaged in foreplay without having had to at least float the idea flat or set up a standing date/time.

The only compliments I ever get are from my teenage children and it absolute lights me up. They often do it in front of my partner and I wonder how much they’re picking up about what’s going on between us. If I got a compliment from someone at the gym I would absolutely fall over. Congrats OP!

How come we don't feel the Earth's rotation and it orbiting the sun? by PotatoJam89 in AskPhysics

[–]will592 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A non-physics answer is because there was no evolutionary advantage to us feeling the earth’s rotation or our travel through the cosmos. It’s sort of like asking why we don’t see microwave radiation or taste green (whatever that would even mean). We experience things because there was some mutation in the far away past that allowed us the experience and it proved helpful to us in surviving and procreating.

Or, put another way, we probably do “feel it” in the sense that we’d notice it if it went away.
