As a web guy, absolutely. It’s the fucking worst

I’d imagine the numbers of dead people eventually get cycled around to. 9 digits only gives you 999,999,999 people to go through, and we have over a third of that in existence right now.

They have thousands upon thousands of them sitting in their factories right now that they can’t sell

I believe on Android and iOS you can press volume down to silence a ringer without hanging up. I know you can on Samsung at least

As a person from a military family, they’d clock you instantly. Once you live among military people, you begin to be able to spot who is or isn’t military instantly. Even not being in the military myself, I can almost always at least guess their branch and get within a rank or 2. I’ve never seen my dad not get branch and exact rank within a couple seconds of talking to someone

Very true

Ah, right, oops

Thankfully I have one, but I honestly may try this just for the experience!

Thanks! I’ve definitely got to try this sometime!

Imma need the recipe for honey maple lime wings. That sounds god damn delicious

I tried using it to spit ball ideas for my DMing. I was running a campaign set in a real life location known for a specific thing. Even if I told it to not include that thing, it would still shoe horn it in random spots. It quickly became absolutely useless once I didn’t need that thing included

Sorry for being vague, I just didn’t want to post my home town on here

Hey now, markdown serves it’s purpose. It’s not great, but as a web dev, I don’t want people expecting full WYSIWYG editors in every website cause fuck that!

Cause that’s not the order the song goes in?

Edit: don’t downvote them folks. They might not have known how a Katy Perry Carly Rae Jepsen song from a decade ago goes!

Aula has some solid keyboards for a good price, and they’re nice and hefty. You could beat a man to death with mine and keep on typing afterwards. I think I paid like $80?

I pretty much stopped watching after Emily stopped being on camera and unsubbed entirely after the harassment and overworking allegations came out.

And I’m not even a Linux person 99% of the time! I do run a home server, but my daily driver is windows. Emily was just one of the only people on the channel that not only seemed to know exactly what she was talking about, but also didn’t behave like a total tech dude bro the entire time

Yes.

Wishing violence on someone, no matter how deserved, is against reddit TOS.

Doing anything at all that an advertiser might not like isn’t officially banned, but the second admins take over it’ll be all but the official policy. A doctor wants to complain about an insurance company that might advertise on Reddit? [Removed]. Want to ask about your symptoms of a drug that advertises on Reddit? [Removed].

Admins are just reddit employees and have to do whatever is best for reddit, which under spez means being as advertiser and AI friendly as possible.

Beyond that, admins can’t be fucked to respond quickly when users are doxxed, harassed, or threatened with death. And this is in a discord/slack designed to let moderators communicate with the admins. Why would they respond to anything users say on a single subreddit if they can’t even respond to dozens of mods being threatened without a board meeting first? Heaven forbid some major issues come up that need seeing to, cause the admins will not do anything.

I passed along dozens of instances of harassment, doxxing, death threats, and straight up CSAM, many of which were directed at me, inclusing having been DMed CSAM images. It would always take the admins days or even weeks to respond. When someone attempted to doxx me (with incorrect info), it took the admins nearly 2 weeks to ban the user.

I know to a lot of people this reads like the moderators just giving in to the admins, and it is, but until more and more people move here or somewhere else, reddits the main place for these groups, and therefore they have to play by reddits rules, because breaking those rules hard enough is the only time admins give a fuck, and that does not end well for users or mods.

Because then the admins will remove them as mods and install their approved puppets that will follow everything the admins tell them

Thanks again for all the answers! One more “one more question” if I haven’t scared you off yet -

What are the odds I could get a picture or something specific to Google for what your sewing needle(s) look like? I’m guessing you don’t use the tiny ones people use on clothes.

A kevlar allergy is definitely an interesting one!

I gotta ask what you mean by patches. Judging by the fact you seem to mostly work on racing ships and other very expensive sailing ships, I’m guessing you don’t mean patches in the sense of filler material to fix holes?

Thanks a ton for the answers!

I’m honestly unsure where my brain got the knife thing if I’m being honest.

One more question for you if you don’t mind -

How’s kevlar to work with?
