Sometimes we have to make sacrifices to uphold our principles.
Not getting abused by Sony and it’s ilk Is just one of the many principles that we can uphold at minimal risk and for minimal cost.
We have stopped sending weapons to Ukraine but have continued sending weapons to Israel.
Nothing about what you describe as is cut and dry as you are describing it. The easiest way to protect global trade from pirates would be to stop using global trade to arm psychopaths.
I don’t know if you’ve ever met any male strippers or other male sex workers, but they make a lot less money.
There’s a good book from a former Smithsonian curator called One Good turn that talks about the ancient history of the screwdriver and the screw.
If you went back in time far enough that the people around you didn’t know about the screwdriver and the screw, Even a rudimentary knowledge of It’s existence would possibly on its own break the timeline.
Discord’s new mobile app is fucking unusable sometimes. Sometimes I just stuck with that add picture pop up and nothing I do will make it go away.
Not to mention that all of the controls disappear off the screen the second you don’t click on them so you can’t just mute yourself conveniently you have to tap the screen twice to bring up the icon to click so you can mute yourself but sometimes it doesn’t recognize when you click on the screen.
I’m just impressed with how unbelievably terrible that app has gotten. I didn’t even think about it before, It was just simple to use.
And if you do, they call the police on you!
My mom was supportive, but my dad couldn’t let it go. People get weird about pushing kids around when they feel entitled to decide what is real and what isn’t.
It’s the same universe though, and the studios mostly collaborate on the overarching story.
I think the big team up event is going to be a big disappointment though. Too many characters to follow all the storylines, and you have to watch the shows too if you really want to keep up.
The whole thing doesn’t seem very inviting to new audiences.
Palworld and craftopia seem to be the same framework so it I’m guessing they are gonna use some of the dump truck full money they got from palworld to contine their development process.
If this were a finished Palworld, it’s already more game than most AAA releases, and more stable at that. If anything, calling Palworld a beta at this point seems like they are trying to raise the bar for release quality in general.
I love this meme so much I sent it to everybody, especially the people that witnessed me fall on my face when trying to open one of these doors as I ripped it off its hinge* (yeah just the one load-bearing hinge for the whole door)
We have these for doors and windows on our house, And we cannot find a company to repair them. They have so many moving parts in them that they gradually break down and eventually completely fall apart.
The locking mechanism on one of the doors is a knob that pulls on some wires inside the door to open the various latches so you can choose which opening mode you’re using. If you don’t use it for a while it can get stuck and snap, making the door unable to open unless you completely disassemble it.
One of the doors, The tilt and turn hinge at the top got loose And eventually when opening the door completely snapped off and I fell inside onto the door.
The only one that currently works isn’t long for this world. Since The hinge at the top is also loose on this one and so is the handle even though all of the screws are as tight as can be.
Granted the ones in our house are like 15 years old, but the ones on the main house were replaced 5 years ago because these things just have too many moving parts And when any of them break the whole thing has to be completely disassembled. The worst part is that to disassemble the door it has to be out of the frame, and the most common thing I’ve seen break on these is the thing that’s supposed to turn the latch.
It’s actually a pretty good metaphor. People sitting on the left side and the right side of the plane are actually taking a seat whereas people sitting in the aisle are just in the fucking way.
I thought that too. My (now windows only) computer has two M2 slots, I used one for Linux and one for Windows. One day I walked into my office having left windows running the night before and my computer had rebooted and updated, The first thing I did was try to boot into the Linux partition and it did not work.
Not taking that chance again, I now have two separate PCs on my desk.
At this point I just accept that my windows desktop is going to reboot itself and update itself every fucking night. I used to be able to leave it on for months at a time only rebooting when I felt like it and had prepared all of my open projects to be rebooted.
Now I do those projects on my Linux PC, which has to be a separate PC now because the windows updates completely screw up dual booting. Microsoft is such a shit show, I would probably only turn on that PC on the weekends except I need Windows for work.
I think even on balance, considering fractions of skeletons in whole people, you’re going to end up with more than one skeleton per person despite some of those people missing bones or limbs.
It’s like one sixth of a percent more than 1:1 if there are 135 million babies born each year on earth, but that’s not nothing.
When we moved to the middle of nowhere and couldn’t even get channels over the air, my sister and I wore through every tape in the house.
The worst was being 9 years old desperately trying to find the second half of Lonesome Dove because you only got most of the episodes on some random VHS.
We must have worn the sound off of The Princess Bride, splash, Aladdin and the little mermaid. For a 9 year old boy living in the hinterlands after growing up in a city, Ariel singing “I want to be where the people are” hit me right in the feels.
I quit, gave 30 days notice, set about training my replacements and one of the bosses fired me 2 weeks into that period. They ended up owing me money.
It basically let me take a year off of work and just try out different kinds of art.
You should go out and find a good stick.
Using cloudflare is more reliable than using your own stuff which is still an option that nobody chooses anymore because it’s better to choose cloudflare or something similar.
I’m going to go ahead and assume you don’t work with internet security in any way, have no experience in web development, and have never attempted to provide web application services to more people than you can count on your fingers, but if you had, cloudflare is mana from heaven.
I think it might have exploded if I hit “undo”
