  • You're exactly right. I didn't read the article yet, but you can build a to do list app in a handful of minutes if you know your way around. I'm still green as a coder, but have been through dozens of tutorials, one of which was a simple to do list in JavaScript. I managed to complete it in about an hour. Seeing that someone thinks it takes weeks to do, that makes me wonder about them.

  • Thanks for all the info, suggestions and tips. I'll try to look further into this if my nervousness can f off a while

  • I live in a rural area and don't have any nearby neighbors to ask. My wife has said that a lot of people have been complaining about it on Facebook though (locally)

  • I have been in the same boat. I have no friends, but a wife and kid. Life sucks a big one, especially work and the work-life balance, and finances, etc.

    The only thing that helps me is medicine. I'm on a cocktail of Dextroamphetamine for ADD, Lamotrigine for Bipolar Disorder, and Propranolol for anxiety. I'm still far from 100%, but I'm in the more positive side of the fence.

    Talking about problems can help a lot of people, and that's great to have a therapist, but it doesn't work for me. Talking about stuff doesn't change my circumstances, neither does my mindset. Definitely discuss issues with a doctor and medicate. Nothing else has helped me deal with the shit in life.

  • Somewhere between English and Sumerian

  • Those are dispensers; you put the item you want to dispense (water bucket) inside and when activated, they dispense. If activated again while containing a bucket, they will "grab" the water and store back in the bucket

  • So I'm still trying to figure out what his big project was whenever he disappeared for a year or two. He mentioned he was working on something with someone, but what?

    JOHN, TELL US

  • He said "Yeah we can all see thru them like my cousins underpants"

  • Pretty terrible. After a year I finally got a job, but it's probably one of the worst possible jobs for someone like me who has ASD and other issues... Call center for military benefits. But I have to do it.

    Severely disappointed after spending so much time learning web development, and it was for nothing it seems. On the bright side, my training was paid for...

  • I get that. I like to create things, it feels like legos

  • That's faster, easier and more efficient than this boat elevator! During the development process of the elevator, I did have a block switcher at the bottom which would swap a stone block for soul sand when the elevator was activated and the boat would rise very quickly (I didn't have to put a delay in like with this one.) It would also descend more quickly because the dispensers were faster. It was VERY noisy, though, because when you're on top of a bubble column it constantly makes splash noises

  • What do you mean by elements? The components of the build?

  • It goes down faster because the wiring is one way, bottom to top. So the water gets picked up starting at the bottom going up, and the last one just drops the boat at the water fall speed

  • Yeah, so many companies require mac's for their coding needs. Any classes I've ever taken have used macbooks

  • I wish more people understood this concept, not just with this, but the world in general. The less-bad thing does not make it "good", and it should still be scrutinized.

  • A long time ago (at least 15 or 20 years) I played a game on PC with physics like this. I specifically remember driving a Dodge Viper, and every crash would crumple the body a little more where it took a hit. At one point I ended up crumpling the entire car into a single tire I could drive around, as the tires were the only thing that didn't squish.

    Anyone know of this game?

  • I wonder how much more strength this would have if the back side was wrapped in carbon fiber with just the one layer of wood. The hardness wasn't the issue necessarily, as we saw. The bullet didn't punch a whole clean through, it "pushed" the wood out of the way. Carbon fiber seems like it would help reduce the thickness and weight while keeping the wood intact

  • I've had YouTube premium from the inception of their subscription model prior to/at the beginning of YouTube red, as I initially had a paid Google music subscription.

    Personally, there isn't a better option for the amount of hassle involved in my opinion. It's a family account, and managing so many people's YouTube experiences on at least a dozen different devices would be a nightmare I don't want to think about. (Multiple of each TV's, Roku's, Android phones, iPhones, pc's, etc)

    This isn't really relevant to your friend, it is quite silly when it's just one person not willing to do it for just themselves.

  • I actually started looking at firebase today. I'm confused by it, but that's the case with everything new to me.
