  • Whats the worst game mechanic?

  • I literally quit playing botw and totk because of weapon durability. It adds nothing to the game except to make it possible I'm in an unwinnable boss fight because I forgot to bring more than five weapons. If I could use weapons for 5x as long it wouldn't have made me quit; I'd just not like that part of the game. But some weapons lasting only 3-5 hits is fucking ridiculous.

  • When I detailed cars at a used car dealership for a living, I had a wheel made of the same rubber you find in erasers on the end of an air powered die grinder. It was soft enough to not affect the clear coat, but it was fantastic at removing commercial vehicle decals / stickers / numbers along with the adhesive!

  • If you want to design and build large-scale industrial plant infrastructure like pressure vessels, piping, pumps, turbines, etc., most of the codes and standards you have to meet cost money to even see -and they are NOT cheap (in the tens of thousands of dollars for a full set).

    In several jurisdictions, the standards are incorporated into law by reference. Most people think that you should have free access to read the text of the law that you're beholden to, but what happens when a copyrighted work is incorporated into the law?

    archive.org asserted the law should be free to access. However, they lost a copyright lawsuit brought by the American society of mechanical engineers because they were hosting copies of these standards.

    So, to read the law you are beholden to in this sector of manufacturing, you must either pay a private organization ($$$) or memorize it (impossible); you cannot make copies for yourself to reference at your leisure

  • Bug reports against the Python standard library and core Python packaging utilities. My day job is in QA, so the bugs were easy to read and reproduce; the stdlib ones were all fixed in the next Python patch. Whenever I'm not burnt out I plan on fixing the packaging one myself 🫠

  • What is your internet White-Whale?

  • Sometime between 2005 and 2008, someone from explosm (the cyanide and happiness guys) did a thing in the forums where they'd draw a comic panel and the forum decided what happened next by voting in the thread. It'd go on for a few days, and by the end the stories were always wildly off the rails. They did it ~3 times. Sometime later, they lost all of their forums, which included these threads. I've always wondered if there's an archive of those things somewhere. They were absolutely legendary.

  • Can someone please help me get a Matlab crack installing?

  • What are you doing specifically? When I got my engineering degree I was able to do everything I needed in Python, including a replacement for simulink.

  • Do you ever feel full and hungry simultaneously?

  • This might be relevant, but I was like this for almost my entire life until my 30s. Found out I have a kidney disorder that makes me lose potassium way too fast. Started treating that and most cravings went away.

    My takeaway was that cravings can be driven by nutritional deficiencies. Figure out what you're missing and eat more of that, or supplement. The cravings can also be totally wrong about what to eat. I would crave purely salty stuff but what I actually needed were bananas, avocados, and strawberries (bc they're crazy high in potassium). A lot of the foods I craved were actively worse for my cravings (very starchy foods lower potassium levels; worst offenders are pizza and alcohol).

    I'm not saying you have my specific thing, it's crazy rare; all bodies are unique, however, and yours might be missing something. Keep an eagle eye on what you actually consume and try to correlate cravings to your eating habits.

    Completely unrelated, but if you have ADHD you may have also ingrained the "food=dopamine" correlation deep into your psyche. People often use food to regulate their mood unwittingly and it becomes a destructive habit.

    Sometimes it can be both of these things. So good luck and godspeed.
