I like the hops taste of beer and regularly drink it for just that. I barely get a buzz and no one else is drinking around me so there’s no social pressure. Whiskeys are interesting because if you taste them correctly, you taste all kinds of interesting sweet notes and earthy notes and it’s very cool to taste those things. That comes from a $25+ bottle, but it’s affordable if you enjoy that sort of thing. Again, 1 glass every once in awhile. Now things like vodka? I’m pretty sure that’s just to get you drunk

I cannot attest to all of science, but anecdotally, that is wack bs. I am very sensitive to caffeine. Know how I know? I got them mixed up once and after 3 cups of black “decaf” (it was the caffeinated) I started low-key tweaking. Hot flashes, cold flashes, sweats, vision blurring. I can’t say all stuff is like that, but I did NOT mix up my caffeine and decaf like that again.

I have no idea who you are, but you have just made my day completely. Thank you, thank you, thank you. This may very well be the funniest comic strip I have ever read

I don’t get it

I really mean no malice, but I did not find it great. I also got it for free, but even so I just never really got drawn in to the story or the gameplay. It just wasn’t that fun, too linear maybe

I hear this a lot, I’ve not known a single person who has considered it a status thing. There are people who have cheap phones from both apple and android and they were made fun of for the price of the phone, not the bubble color. iMessage just made it much nicer to talk to people. “I can send messages over wifi!” made it so you could send messages in school or anywhere with a big metal roof. “The images are better!” These were limitations of the SMS standard that Apple designed around. Now? Yeah, there’s other options, but back then iMessage made its hold by being able to be used by people who couldn’t use SMS or didn’t want to for whatever reason

Still on Disco Elysium. It’s good, thus far, but some of the controls bug me. The game has made me laugh multiple times though, it’s a real “dramadey” of video games. Although I had a nice evening the other day playing the Jackbox Party Pack.

Hey, some of us like that stuff! But I have no idea

What they’re saying is that, in general, people are using Linux variants that are too abstracted for information to be useful. Android runs apks, Linux doesn’t. A firetv runs android, it runs apks, it doesn’t run a .c file without some weird help

I’ve seen this a lot on this thread, but this is Apple we’re talking about. They have billions of dollars to throw at making their memory compression far better than what’s on Linux. I still regularly use an 8gb ddr3 apple macbook air from 2017. It’s not as fast at computing as my 32gb windows laptop, but it feels more snappy. I also have a 16gb desktop, also windows, and the macbook feels just a little slower than that. A little. And it’s ddr3 vs ddr4

Is this a personal anecdote or a recurring problem in some cities?

Can’t comment on hope good it is yet, but I picked up Disco Elysium for $10 and have been playing that. Also Open Roller Coaster Tycoon 2

It’s definitely not, at least by my math. 300/8 (for an 8 hour day) is 37.5 an hour. 40 hours a week makes this 1,500. 52 weeks in a year is 78,000. A much lower number.

What’s ironic about the news media?

Is there some beef between you?

Then the other code is developed to cause the arm to function. Code is a collection of ideas, same as a book. It’s not like rockstar’s code is going to allow a robot to stand because I’m pretty sure that sort of code isn’t developed in a game engine to begin with. Rockstar is coding for a platform that doesn’t run on the hardware that causes a biomechanical arm to function. I think a lot of people have the idea that FOSS should be every code ever, but when you look at the way that paid software does things, you realize it’s always a little more feature rich (not necessarily a smoother experience) because they can afford to pay a developer to develop the code. If GTA has some revolutionary ideas, then others can take the idea and find a way to skirt copyright just like they always have.

They absolutely should. It makes sense in the business world. You develop a technology, it makes you money. That’s what drives innovation. I think there should be different requirements and duration though

I simply mean that some people enjoy the task of knowing the map and being able to just be better. Learning the game. It’s not my cup of tea except for maybe Risk of Rain, but there’s a base for it

Yes, yes. We do this already and we are probably safer for it. If we had a model we could point to evidence that, in general, this helps. It should never be admissible evidence in a court, but it would help police figure out who to keep eyes on
