  • That's solid advice. I think I have my identity wrapped up too much in my career, so when I dislike my job, I feel unsatisfied in life. I will try to see it as means to an end more than who I am.

  • I tried using VScode to play around with Golang. I had to quit coding to take care of something else. I hit save, and suddenly I have way fewer lines of code. WTF? Why did/would saving delete code? After much digging, it turns out because the all knowing VSCode thought because I had not yet referenced my variables, I never would, and since my code I wanted to save and continue later wouldn't compile, it must be quelled. Off with its head!

    Anyway, I decided to use vim instead. When I did :wq, the file was saved exactly as I had typed it.

  • I definitely have moments like this too. I have been reflecting more lately and trying to decide if the feeling is temporary or permanent. I have been pondering what else I would do. Are you considering a career change, and if so, what would you do instead? I don't know if I could transition to something else without going back to school, and it would kill me a bit inside to take out more student loans.

  • The one asks how to do something. The other gives 13 steps of instructions. The 14th step is "???? I don't know. This is where I got stuck too in the same way as OP."

  • That makes more sense. I thought it was dryg dealer.

  • If Ted Cruz was a bird.

  • They give the example of "job" vs "occupation" but then talk about the headlines "Meghan and Harry are talking to Oprah. Here’s why they shouldn’t say too much” vs. “Are Meghan and Harry spilling royal tea to Oprah? Don’t bet on it.”

    This doesn't seem to fit the simple words narrative they just set up. To me, this is standard language vs. slang. The first one sounds like it may be objective and fact-based, and the second sounds like it was written by a gabby middle schooler.

    I would likely not be interested in the content either way, but I would be far more likely to click on the drivel-free headline.

  • Fun fact: Salina Turda does not mean salt turd.

  • The problem is that we already value our land as much as Russia does, so we resist them taking it.

  • 20% is the going rate, or 10% if you work at a buffet.

  • There sure are a lot of "Google enshittifies Google" articles lately.

  • All of the best creatures are on the block chain.

  • I always report those ads as inappropriate.

  • Shit...

  • Introducing TeslOS! The world's first full self-driving OS for desktops!

  • In US. politics, red refers to places with a (usually large) majority of Republican voters.

  • For a long time, I wanted to get a PS5 or "the new xbox", whatever the heck it was named. I was in a big box store and saw what I thought was one of the new ones when they were still hard to find. But, I had no cell signal in the store, so I couldn't look up info on it. I couldn't verify if it was the new one, or the old one, since their stupid naming scheme was so arbitrary and hard to remember if you weren't already in their ecosystem. I didn't buy it, and later found the one I saw was the newest one. I ended up eventually finding and buying a PS5. I doubt I am the only one, but even if so, they did not make a sale to one person because of their stupid naming scheme. With Playstation system naming, there is no confusion.

  • It's also nice because I can charge my entire family's phones all at once. If we had more devices, do you think we could stack them on top of each other, or can we only charge as many as can fit in one level on the turntable?

  • Because Genthree Genfour Genfive Gensix, etc. would get confused with other products on a Google search.

    What is the best U.S. bank for accessing money in South Korea?

    Hello, Korea community. I taught English in Korea for a few years over a decade ago. At the time, my bank I used in the U.S. was Wells Fargo. I had an absolutely awful experience with them while in Korea. I never once had access to the money in the Wells Fargo account the entire time I lived in Korea.

    I told them ahead of time I was moving to Korea and to allow transactions there. I don't know if they did, but it got overriden/expired, or if they just pretended to. Either way, when I tried to get money out of that account it failed every time. They would alert me to "fraudulent activity" and lock my card. I had to call, tell them it's me, I live in Korea, like I said, so please unblock my card and allow transactions from Korea. I did this probably ten times before giving up. I was so mad about it that the first thing I did when I moved back to the U.S. was close my Wells Fargo account.

    I am looking at living in Korea again for a time, but I don't want a repeat of last time. Does anyo

    EverQuest beans

    Seeing all of the bean memes made me start to wonder how many beans there are in EverQuest. Here's an Allakhazam list of beans in EverQuest. The various Luclin green beans seems to have pretty crazy stats.

    A question on Eldrig the Old (Skyfire, Bard epic 1.0)

    I'm working on the bard epic 1.0, and I am on the part in Skyfire where I need to spawn and kill Eldrig the Old.

    I've read up on Allakhzam, and the accepted ways to do this are to either 1) Have two friends stand at certain spawn points while I high sun the mobs back to their spawns to find the right spawn cycle, or 2) Have five friends join me while I get an instance of Skyfire, and then just drop it if Eldrig the Old isn't up, and get a new instance until I find him up.

    My question is, is there any decent, reliable way that anyone has found for a solo bard to do this? I pretty well have only been working on the epic when my friends can't play. Otherwise, I'm grouping with them doing higher level stuff. Is the best method for doing this solo to just kill everything that moves and keep watching track with fingers crossed? Or is there a better way?

    When did you start playing?

    I started playing with some friends during the beta test. We were all gnomes so we would have the same starting city. I played a rogue. If I recall correctly, the others were magician and cleric.

    I played EQ when it went live, and played until Gates of Discord. Since then I seem to have a cycle of playing for 1-2 years before taking 1-2 years off. EverQuest is the game I always end up returning to, though.

    Hardcore Heritage is live. This is the time of year where passing through Blackburrow and other usually lower level zones is a lot more dangerous. Be safe out there.
