I’ve owned 3 Subarus over the last 15 years. Drove the first two for years with 0 issues. 75k+ on both. First was a lease then buy out and was offered a great deal on the second to trade in. Only got rid of the second due to a change is need for a personal car. When I had a need again I got a third which I’m only at about 60k on but plan to drive this one as long as it’ll go. Only thing I’ve done so far outside oil changes and other routine stuff was brakes. Which I consider routine.

Another reason is swear by them is AWD in a very snowy climate without SUV gas mileage.

Love that idea actually

Even a limit of posts per community would be great. 2-3 from each community max in the first 100 would even be awesome. It would also force a lot of lesser known communities into peoples top posts and help growth in them.

Agreed that 5 month wait time is wild, but 5 months from today is closer than 5 months from next week. Get the ball rolling. Set yourself up to get the help you want, you deserve to be mentally healthy. Seems you’ve already made the decision that you want some assistance which is great. There is nothing wrong with seeking outside help. I don’t dive into fixing my cars engine, I get someone who knows exactly how it works.

Hope you have a good day today.

What a weird way to go about it. Knowing a small amount about chess ratings the loss or changing of title does in some ways make sense though in the way that the bar for a woman to be considered GM is lower than a man. So effectively you would have a title that may have a rating requirement higher than your pre-transition rating. I get that part…. But the rest?

These are weird rules that really don’t need to be there and I hope too GMs speak out against this in both the male and female sections. There has been quite a bit of drama in the chess community in recent years over what is essentially gender discrimination. So another stain on chess with this one.

Editing to add: the differing rating requirements in an intellectual game are very strange to begin with. There are many women who meet the requirements of being a GM(male) rather than a WGM and they’re a significantly smaller portion of the overall chess players

I felt completely stuck in my job and returned to school to do CS and now work as a software engineer. It’s never too late, I was in my 30s. If you choose to pursue it do it for the right reasons. Sit down and start to learn a bit of code if you don’t already know how to do some basic stuff. It’s not for everyone that’s for sure. If you have any questions about school as an adult I would be happy to answer. The other poster who said “it’s more about producing good work” is exactly right. good luck

I’m so tied of the bot spam in all these communities with 0 interactions showing up in the feed. For every one I block I swear 2 more show up. I don’t even get the point. Dead community maybe a few votes and just endless spam. Is there a block bots checkbox like there is a block nsfw

Wow that’s an awesome tip I had no idea that was a command… It was more than a month between occurrences but I’ll keep this in my back pocket for next time. Thanks

I appreciate the thoughts. It was a brand new psu with plenty of extra wattage. My old 750 was sufficient but went bigger just to be sure in this build. I’ll check on bios and drivers. I know my gpu drivers are up to date but not sure on bios. It’s happening with 2 different builds though where the gpu is the only common factor. I feel like that rules out most everything else component-wise

I’ve had this issue in the past. I had to spend hours on the phone with apple support to get them to manually remove my number from the iMessage database of known numbers. Then you also have to wait for that to sync back to everyone’s devices who has you as a contact. It was awful and still didn’t fix it 100%

I have all new drives and a fresh windows install obviously. Literally the only thing from the old to the new guild was my gpu.

Do you rma through nvidia or through the card manufacturer. I’ve never had to do it before. What’s the typical experience if you know off hand?

Very slightly in this build but wasn’t at all in my previous

Isn’t the entire point of classic to get off p2w private servers that can and do just shut down randomly destroying your progress?

SOM servers seemed like an absolute godsend.

I’ve played since vanilla and even went back and did all of classic again when it first came out again a few years ago. My only private server experiences were not good by any means.

Is there something I’m missing or is it just about saving the monthly sub cost

This sounds like a fun project to be honest. Are there any risks involved by getting bad content through federation that’s out of your control?

Just a week or so ago I read an article about a guy running a tor exit node personally and being held responsible for the traffic

Nobody is going to be able to give you a walkthrough in a post. There are a lot of concepts at play which are all going to require you get on google and start learning. You’ll inevitably run into issues that can be specifically asked about and answered but this is so general how would we even begin to give a walkthrough.

If I had to give a spot to start I’d say look into interacting with the apis (or any apis in general) first in your desired language and then figure out some things you can do with the data you’re getting back from the calls.

I guess maybe the thought with pip and npm is they’re very specialized and the others are much more general. Why bloat a package manager with repositories that many will never need when you can download a specialized one for a specific need. No reason to even have access to npm if you don’t code in js or same with pip and python.

That said a way to add those repositories to other package managers would be nice and maybe possible. I’ve never really researched it.

But it’s like anything else, get people into your ecosystem rather than someone else’s

Good read. Unfortunately I think most are looking at everything on a completely binary scale now. I can watch the news with an opposite spin to what I normally watch and still pull some interesting details or thoughts and get a good idea about what’s happening. But I feel like many will dismiss it in its entirety on both sides if it doesn’t come from their preferred source. Really strange time we live in now where facts can be dismissed on any topic depending on where the story is told and even when you know the truth about it externally.

Why do the people you grow up loving for their music make you hate them for their politics. It’s literally free for them all to just stfu

Never heard of this… very clean and nice to use interface. I like it so far

That makes sense if it were to become circular. The way I was thinking of it is like

B gets C’s content making C’s part of B’s. so because C’s is a part of B then A gets it.

But I guess C’s content isn’t really B’s its only there through federation? Trying to wrap my head around all this, appreciate the reply.
