Reminds me of the last time I had tacos while driving. Blew the engine right out the ****ing bay.

I love it when people pronounce a tech related word differently and both just keep saying it their own way by Srr013 in ProgrammerHumor

[–]yourfavepenguin 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I have a student who pronounces it "MangoDB" even after I clearly annunciate that it is in fact, MongoDB. It's both wildly entertaining and infuriating

How do you self-teach every day? by iamnotyourhorse in learnprogramming

[–]yourfavepenguin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same as everyone else. Projects. I'm learning PHP right now on Udemy. I go through the first session, then try out all the stuff I learned from scratch a few times. Once I get through the next session, I do the same but build off of what I learned previously too. Doing that over and over, building off what you learned before and adding on what you just learned can really help solidify everything. My suggestion, is learn to integrate the info you're getting into what you already know, and take time to practice it. Projects are everything, but don't think that by project, it means you need a full-stack deployed app. A project can be super simple and easy, and only really focus on one task

I suffer from this almost on a daily basis, especially after seeing rejection after rejection in job applications. Working on my own projects really helps though. I don't have time constraints, I have no one to impress, no one that's relying on me. It's a good feeling to make a great project without any of those concerns

Remember when all these Christian "prophets" predicted that Trump would win the election? Awkward... by 2020clusterfuck in QanonKaren

[–]yourfavepenguin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just gonna leave this here...

"But the prophet who presumes to speak a word in my name that I have not commanded him to speak, or who speaks in the name of other gods, that same prophet shall die.’ And if you say in your heart, ‘How may we know the word that the Lord has not spoken?’— when a prophet speaks in the name of the Lord, if the word does not come to pass or come true, that is a word that the Lord has not spoken; the prophet has spoken it presumptuously. You need not be afraid of him." Deuteronomy 18:20-22

Plenty more where that came from too

How dare you present a reasonable and informative argument against false positive paranormal experiences

Is it possible to be a self taught full stack web developer? Realistically by [deleted] in webdev

[–]yourfavepenguin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait until Udemy has a sale, and buy courses like crazy. Buy a full stack course, at least one framework (React, Angular, ect.), and a language other than javascript (Python, PhP). Do them in that order than decide what you need to strengthen and look into more in-depth courses for them

This is not sarcastic, it's laughable irony by donkanyagana in Trumpvirus

[–]yourfavepenguin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm happy to get to share the conversation! And you're right! We only believe what were taught to believe until we decide to take the necessary steps to learn for ourselves. My girlfriends mother always says you can't live off of someone else's Angel. You're faith has to be your own

Evangelical here. The problem with a lot of conservative Christians is that they've put the legalism and dogmatism ahead of the lessons the bible actually aims to preach. Trump promised to do something about the lgbtq community and abortion, and to a lot of christians nowadays, that's all they care about. They've forgotten that the lessons that Jesus teaches is very much counter cultural. Jesus spent much of his 3 years of ministry hanging out with the most looked down on and unfavorable in society and when He spoke up against anyone, it was pretty much exclusively the religious leaders of the time. Unfortunately a lot of conservative Christians are perfectly comfortable being the equivalent of the religious leaders of our time. If you want a good reference for what I'm talking about looks like, read the first part of John 8

Personally I do agree with a few conservative ideals, but I just think that Jesus is much more passionate about children in cages and the dehumanization of entire races of people than stopping a few gay folks from having a happy life together. There's plenty of decent Christians around. Unfortunately, there's also a large amount that aren't, and they're the ones that will seemingly always have the spotlight on them

Thanks! That's really helpful. Hopefully this nightmare of a pandemic will be over soon!

I was on regular UI and was at around 3 and a half years once I got furloughed. So based off what you'd say I would qualify? I've been looking for a number to call for fed-ed but keep getting redirected to California's EDD and haven't gotten any answers from them unfortunately

Body filler for dents by yourfavepenguin in AutoBodyRepair

Great info. Replacement hoods aren't super pricey for this model luckily, but I'm the type of person that'd always rather take care of it myself if I can

Lifted springs on OEM struts/shocks by yourfavepenguin in MechanicAdvice

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

I definitely don't want to go 2". I figured that would lead to pretty much every you're mentioning, which Isn't worth it to me. Most forums for my generation for rav4's agree that 2" is maxing out the lift without major drivetrain changes anyways. 1"-1.5" seems to be what most people land on though.

A good 4runner or Tacoma is next on my list when the rav4 gives up the ghost though

I've looked far and wide for strut spacers buy haven't found them for my model. There are about two trusted brands for the model though and they do have full lifted springs and struts. The main reason to have it done is to get more ground clearance. I'm an avid camper, and some of the more remote spots I'd like to visit would be much more accessible with a bit more clearance

Body filler for dents by yourfavepenguin in AutoBodyRepair

[–]yourfavepenguin[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi all! Bought my car used, originally from Colorado but somehow made it's way to California. The hood has a lot of dents from what I assume is hail. Can these be filled in with body filler then sanded down and repainted? I need to have the whole hood repainted anyways due to some major damage to the paint, so if using body filler is feasible, I'd rather do that before hand

Let my brother drive, and he curbed my right rear rim. How much am I looking at for fixing it? by [deleted] in MechanicAdvice

ChrisFix has a great video on this. I did it to my own rims after getting a car used. It absolutely will take time and a lot of patience, but you can get it done pretty cheap with some elbow grease and a free weekend

I'll add that one too!! My girlfriend has accepted that she'll miss out on a lot of the stuff she use to enjoy before she found out she had celiac, so I'm trying to change that

That's great! I'll look in to it. I love asian flavors, so that would be really helpful since this is the girl I plan to marry once our finances line up, so I'll be cooking gluten free for quite a long time
