Pencilnoob,

I never knew Alexander Dumas’ father became the Haitian governer and was a French general, then died in prison. No wonder he wrote about prison escape and revenge.

Pencilnoob,

I really should mark this nsfw

“You’re going the wrong way!!”

“How does he know where we’re going?”

“Oh yeah”

Bashir realizes they are going to crash into two other ships

“AHHHHHHH”

ship shudders as it scrapes between the two incoming ships. Sparks fly dramatically, and Bashir looks over to see O’Brien dressed in a devil costume laughing maniacally

Pencilnoob,

Hiking for me isn’t for exercise. When I’m exercising, I put 20# pound plates in a rucksack and walk the neighborhood. When I’m hiking (like the 1000 miles I did last year) I’m out there to enjoy nature and have an adventure, not be miserable every night with cramping feet.

Not only that, but there’s plenty of evidence that extra weight brings a greater chance of injury when hiking every day. Being able to do 1000 miles over 3 months means you have be able to perform consistently and without injuries building up.

Pencilnoob,

Your comment made me laugh, well done

Pencilnoob,

This is fantastic

Pencilnoob,

It’s hard to remember that not that long ago it was super rare to eat any food not from within a hundred miles. The idea of this unusual canned soup was probably pretty wild.

Pencilnoob,

The Urge

Pencilnoob,

I like React because these days it’s pretty well known and just about anything I need I can find easily. There’s newer similar tools like Vue, or entirely different approaches like Next, but React remains a dominant choice for the time being. I’m sure fashion will move the industry along soon enough, but none of the newer tools I’ve seen really are such a huge leap forward that I couldn’t get stuff done in a few days of prep and tutorials. So for now, I’ll stick with react until I need to move or a client requests it.

For backend I’m increasingly preferring simple Restful APIs. If it can map an endpoint to a function and convert JSON into a dictionary or object, it’s probably good enough. I just wrapped up a project in ASP.Net Core and that pretty much just got out of the way and let me make web API endpoints.

Pencilnoob,

Well this week starts Inkttober sooo

Pencilnoob,

I’m a fire fighter so I’m used to phone alarms, but this one was a different tone so I was like “holy shit IS THIS THE BIG ONE?” narrator “it was in fact not the big one”

Pencilnoob,

Who’s cutting onions in here

Pencilnoob,

The GOAT of plein air himself. This guy hasn’t stopped inspiring me for 30+ years

Pencilnoob,

I’ve never seen this movie, it’s added to the list!

Pencilnoob,

Amazon ads for “gamer” stuff that is otherwise very femme coded happens when Amazon thinks you are trans and serves you ads about it (presumably before the recipient knows)

Pencilnoob,

I’m pretty sure this is an exact replica of my last fortress

Pencilnoob,

This was for that hero still waiting on their daily update

Pencilnoob,

Just got back from Boulder, did South Boulder Peak which was 8549’. The climb to Bear Peak just below South Boulder was the best part, it was so steep, we climbed 3000’ in two miles.

Here’s a cool pic from the top https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/2888cd1e-0f08-4ece-987e-3fa8d2f67104.jpeg

Pencilnoob,

This shit right here is why I left public education as fast as I could. The writing was on the wall even before 2010

Pencilnoob,

You definitely described it perfectly: total chaos.

Titles are just “how valuable you are to that team”.

Every team has different needs, so a senior engineer in one team might be a junior on another team that has a totally different set of needs. There is also no standardized titles, so it mostly is just “whatever they want to call it”.

Pencilnoob,

In my experience, people who carry firearms are much more afraid than normal, because they have a physical object that reminds them to be afraid every time they step out the front door. And in every situation, from the barber to the grocery, they’ve got this heavy metal thing weighing them down while they wonder if this is the time to use it.

[Discussion] Project Hail Mary - Andy Weir (Spoilers) (lemmy.world)

We are two weeks into the month of September now. I think this might be a reasonable amount of time for some readers to have completed this book if they started early this month. At least I finished it last week. I’ll leave this thread pinned for the rest of the month and next weekend I’ll create the poll for the next book...

Pencilnoob,

I listened to it on a long drive recently, and really enjoyed the audiobook version. The voice actor did a good job, and I liked the chords with the alien voice. The last 20% we were listening on the edge of our seats.

And then, a few weeks later, it’s… fine. I like to call books like this “Good Time Fun”. It probably won’t be remembered in 100 years like other more timeless works, but it’s a heck of a lot of fun if you just go along for the ride.

Another commenter suggested Young Adult, and that’s exactly what it feels like. There’s challenges, strong emotions, a bit of a a twist or two (pretty easy to see coming), clever creativity, Science To The Rescue, and Friendship Conquers Everything! You know, Good Time Fun!

Pencilnoob,

If AWS decides tomorrow to pull a Unity, can you fork it and keep your business running? Or do you need to rebuild an entire deployment infrastructure?

Pencilnoob,

Yeah but are you using it or are you using the closed source options?

Pencilnoob,

But you can’t see the code that runs those services, stores your settings, deploys your code, etc. Services are still a liability if they go away and your project depends on it

Pencilnoob,

Stamets you brighten my day and I only have upvotes to give back

Pencilnoob,

I think it’s kinda meh tbh. The missing second joystick really makes it hard to use. Maybe I’ve got it configured wrong or something, but I always end up just using a ps4 controller.

Pencilnoob,

Surgery is an extremely stressful thing! Feeling anxious about it is normal!

One thing that might help with with binging is packing absurd amounts of veggies as snacks. At one point my wife was bringing two pounds of green bell peppers to work every day so she could stress eat them. She started by just bringing fewer regular snacks, slowly replacing them with bell peppers until it was all peppers. That really helped her feel more in control and not guilty at all.

The other one was eating at least two cups of dark green veggies before every meal. She could still eat as much as she wanted, but she had to figure out a way to make the first two cups of food be dark green veggies like: bell peppers, broccoli, spinach, Brussels sprouts, etc. They didn’t have to be raw either (raw dark green veggies often gives people gas) so she’d roast them with salt and oil so they were delicious. That way she was getting tons of fiber and vitamins, so she just felt better and had more energy to face life’s stresses. That extra fiber also helps with blood sugar.

The trick is giving yourself permission to undo long habits and know that they often take as long to undo as they took to form.

If today was 1% better than yesterday, that’s a win. Do it again tomorrow, and then the next day. You’ll be making big changes in months and it won’t be a big shock to the body and mind.

For myself, I was almost 200lb, and I eventually got down to 140lb, but it took years. All the tricks like keto, IF, IIFYM, etc were fine and helped, but ultimately what took a long time was changing my emotional relationship with food before I could stop binging. That took a long time. What finally helped a lot was just writing down everything I ate every day. I’d also use a CBT trick and write down for each meal how I was feeling emotionally. It is tedious, but it eventually helped my mind realize how much I was using food to fill an emotional hole. That still took about a year. So while some people can just decide to lose weight and do it, I first had to let go of that as an emotional crutch. And that was not as easy. But it was so worth the time and effort! It might take a long time to break that habit, but you can do it, and you won’t regret it!

You got this girl, I’m rooting for you!

Pencilnoob,

Aww shucks thanks! Everyone deserves to love themselves at their current shape, but sometimes it’s profoundly satisfying to form yourself into a shape that better fits who you want to be.

Pencilnoob,

This is absolutely cursed and brilliant. Bravo!

Now I just need to find a place to use it.

Pencilnoob,

“and then we told them, everyone getting to vote isn’t a fair election”

“And then we told them, we only hate trans people, not gays and blacks”

“And then we told them, deregulation frees billionaires to take care of the planet more efficiently”

“And then we told them, school shootings are caused by not enough guns in schools”

Pencilnoob,

If it doesn’t cause you to act, then the news is just entertainment

Covid vaccines made available was the last news that actually changed my behavior. That was like years ago. The rest is just entertainment written to make people scared and angry

Pencilnoob,

I’m also curious about at higher elevations. Also now that I can chuck my titanium pot lid I’ve got more grams for my chromecast for zeros 😎

Pencilnoob,

Surely you’re joking, prime minister
