sounds legit to me

I do the same thing, but I spend much of the time looking for a German manufactured equivalent. It is essentially the only nation I will buy anything from now, for so many reasons, primarily for quality. Often I am unable to find an equivalent, but delight in denying myself that product, knowing I am staying true to myself and the cosmos.

I hate it. I mean if I am looking for something very specific online shopping can make it easy, but it is so much more fun to browse a store and physically touch things. I can get a better idea for the specifications for an object than some stock image a chinese seller posted. The way some UI's are made are so atrocious, so bad and organizing and sorting, or you just end up going through pages and pages of these stock images. Its worse when its Amazon where they'll post them same item multiple times.

ovens take heeps amount of electricity so air fryers are a very nice alternative, makes my tempura crispy.

NEVER buy clothes online wizzars, unless if it is a simple tee. The foreign measurements fool me again and again

Check out Bonsai. It's the whole point of it and it looks beautiful.

I think you're expecting too much out of gardening. Unless you have a shit ton of plants there's not really much to do.

>>67656
Vulgar normalfart. Plants are the only friend a druid needs, and one is often enough.

ahh yes, the tidiness emits motivation and a mood of deep focus as well. Very comfy to sleep in a clean room.

Get the human design app from the play store. You shall see that this science is more than mere speculations based on archetypes and planet positions.

I think everyone should study their own birthchart, its a great source of information and wisdom. You can find the roots of 90% of your problems by studying it and every little detail about your own psyche.

But be careful, astrology is just tendencies (VERY strong tendencies), astrology is no joke. If you study it too much, it may cause some paranoia. Do not allow it to cause paranoia on yourself. Remember that you still in control of your own life and destiny, but the price is eternal vigilance.

Both the people say astrology is very real and people say its bullshit are correct. Its real but you also are free to become conscious and change the patterns that the stars impose on you.

the people who*

The only problem I had with Astrology is how people (mostly succubi) use it. One time some bitch wants me to get out of the room because she said I’m a Libra thus it’ll ruin the “energy channel” she’s creating if I’m nearby. Fuckin idiot

>>67793
People aren't kidding when they call it 'racism for succubi'

>Why do mountain bicycles cost so much?
Are you asking or is that just the title to the video?

>>64268
He's pretty good on the bicycle

>>64269
unfortunately it didn't take off
track bikes are pretty cool and i kind of wish i had one but i would literally never ride it. these look super cool though.

Are FWD (front wheel drive) bikes better to ride at a hill or something going up? Or is the experience just the same with RWD (rear wheel drive AKA common bikes)

>>67775
>Are FWD (front wheel drive) bikes better to ride at a hill or something going up?
Not really.
Recline bikes and other such bikes that sometimes have drive trains in the front are more about the advantages of the unusual ride position for comfort and lower drag, and being able to use different muscle groups that have more endurance at the expense of less sprinting power.

It anecdotally makes climbing harder. Especially if you have to balance.

If you are taking about e-bikes, it doesn't matter.

Some engineering advice for you:

(1) Don't try to over-abstract your code. Write what you need and if a pattern emerges frequently then you can write a general abstraction.

(2) Don't bother trying to optimize your code. Work on building the project you want and optimize when you run into performance issues.

(3) Avoid using every language feature. Every additional feature you use imposes complexity and increases the cognitive load of working with your software. This is also true of frameworks.

(4) Object orientated programming is mostly bullshit and will make your program into spaghetti. There is one exception though: encapsulation. Use classes as if they were related functions and state. This lets you build parts of your project as components that only have to focus on only thing. Avoid using every feature of OO programming if you want a program that's actually maintainable.

(5) You need to write tests to verify that your code works. At the very minimum you need tests to check that a feature you write can be used. Call this an 'integration test' if you will.

(6) There are some ways of solving problems that will only be suitable for toy apps and make it impossible to re-use in professional software. As a noob you won't know what these are but expect there to be a long learning curve.

(7) If you're trying to debug a highly complex error and you're drowning in complexity start adding assert statements everywhere. E.g. your function takes n. Assert n is within the range you expect. Assert all different variables for sanity checks. It can drastically reduce the amount of time you spend trying to guess what's wrong.

(8) Python packaging isn't great. If you want to make things easier on yourself try to avoid packages that have C dependencies (they need complication) and use only packages that use the standard library. Don't bother with Python 2 support. For building your own packages I recommend you just put all your source files in one folder with one init file. Trying to over-complicate how you organize your project will lead to you losing to complexity.

(9) You need to get serious about continuous integration across different OSes and versions if you want to release something to actual users.

Hey man, kind of in the same boat except I'm doing Ruby. If you want to become pro I'd try to use the best resources possible. They're probably books tbh. If you just jump around things on the internet you might not progress that much but a 400 page book is structured and edited for quality etc. You don't have to do it my way I'm just offering an opinion

try leetcode and codeforce. This roadmap is organized in a way you learn techniques which you build up to solve more complexes problems. But the is a rule, after 30~60 minutes without solving yourself, read the solution and focus on similar problems which require that technique

a good post on wizchan? thats bullshit dont post here ever again

>>66259
this seems very helpful, thank you

greenhouse test. just to see how long it can extend growing season into winter. i want to see in parricular if it can keep my peppers alive. it sucks when perennial plants die from the cold

>>66122
my peppers got some sort of pests burrowing through a couple of them. Probably because they're too mild. Apparently it's common to order pepper seeds for one species and receive seeds for a different species. That is what happened to me and I think they are anaheim instead of what I ordered. My cucumbers were similarly productive but succumbed to some sort of disease or virus. Eggplants grew a shit ton of leaves but few fruits and only a few got to eating size. I don't think we have enough light where they were.

Recently I've been doing a lot of clearing. I have been slashing down a bunch of native shrubs and trees that cover up spaces and many other plants that I've planted myself. I usually let them grow, especially ij spring, so that they create some microclimate during the harsh summer. Now that the days are getting shorter and the sun is less bright I can clear up these spaces, and open them up for the plants below. The leaves make for gold mulch and I can use the trunks and branches for firewood. Everythijg used to look so lush, now it looks a little empty in contrast.
I also want to bring in many new plants to fill up some of this space, as it turns there's a lot of it! I plan to bring some small trees and shrubs and hope that within the next 5 years they grow big and themselves cover the ground from the sun, as well as provide a lot of fruit.
I have also been broadcasting a lot of vine seeds, mostly curcubitae, such as pumpkin and luffa, but also others like passionfruit. I want lots of trees with vines hanging from them full of fruit, and pumpkin vines crawling along the ground.

>>66607
well everything else has died from the cold but my peppers and everything inside the greenhouse are still alive, so i consider this a big success, even if it does eventually get too cold in a few weeks, it definitely extended the growing season and should let me start planting early also.

That time of year again. I really should have been out days ago, but the weather just will not co-operate! I can't really do anything until the weather stops swinging 10 fucking degrees in a single day!

how does one even install this? everytime i try I get errors and broken. Answer plz

any news?

>>63472
>chan
>install

i can only assume these two things going together means some sort of pedo shit going on

>>67655
oh wait, I see it's a game, nevermind

>>67655
>>chan
>install
>i can only assume these two things going together means some sort of pedo shit going on
What could this possibly mean?
>>67657
It's an imageboard software running with PHP and Javascript. The "Install" is done through PHP once prerequisits are met and is done in order to create the appropriate databases and tie everything together without the operator needing to move things around or manually rename repeating assets when a new board is added.

Just learn Dutch, Afrikaans is like Dutch ebonics

>>67511
I prefer afrikaans language more then dutch. it sounds beautiful to me, more then dutch

>>67512
your probably refering to the accent i assume, flemish is way more beautiful then that of main land dutch

out of curiosity why is that? coming from an afrikaans person the language is not widely used anymore, aside from in smalltown SA

>>67607
I don't know, first time I heard about it, I founded it cool and wanted to learn about it. I hope my answer is enough for you. also, do you speak afrikaan?

>>57702
Flavored malt liquor. Maybe strawberry, watermelon, pineapple, or mango-flavored.

been buying and drinking every bourbon brand I can get my hands on for a couple of years now, I'm at the point I'm drinking an entire 750 ml bottle a day. luckily I've worked from home so all the money that went to gas for commuting is going to bourbon, four roses small batch is my favorite stuff. prices been going up lately.

been drinking about 2-3 handles of bourbon a week for about 2 years now. i've tried a lot of bourbons from the cheap 15-40 dollar mark. I kinda settled on benchmark so far, better than most 20-30 dollar bourbons for under 20 dollars. id recommend for a cheap underrated bourbon. used to really like four roses but the alcoholic normfags caught onto that and raised the prices like crazy. pardon my spelling friends as ive also been drinking tonight
>>67034
was about to post this and saw a kindred spirit, not quite up to a handle a day i can kill it in 2 days. also working from home.

I found curry lentils on my nightwalk at the trainstation. After I crush and ferment it in baking yeast and honey it will taste beery next month but my moms attic could smell footgarmenty

>>65681
It's not. Poisoning yourself will never count as a hobby but by looking at the OP you can tell he is brazilian. Just check that sake bottle and read the portuguese.

>>61379
Did a east coast road trip last fall by myself. Spent a lot of time just walking around small towns by myself, hiking, eat. Slept in my car to keep it cheap. Its nice to have the freedom to pretty much just go where ever you for a little while.

>>64745
i love america and ive been to 42 states, not sure what part of my post lead you to that belief

>>67200
probably the pic

>>67200
What you see as America's positive he sees as America's negative.

another follow up post and this time asking for suggestions this year, there was a motorcycle riding thread I was also in, the guy with the 650cc yamaha. was doing these road trips in a car, but this year i was able to get a good deal to trade my bike up to a 1600cc vulcan, big cruiser bike, so i think this time it will be a late summer early fall motorcycle trip instead of a winter trip still trying to decide where to ride if anyone has any suggestions i'm based out of florida.
