First,

So what you’re saying is that if she shits her diapers in the game, it’s ok? Weird kink, but w/e floats your boat, I guess…

First,

Great skills, giving a tiny fraction of the budget to vaccine research during a global pandemic that halted the economy. I’m sure no one else would have thought of that.

They don’t? When the Toyota hydrogen cars were introduced here around 2015, one of the issues were that a full tank of gas would dilute through the tank walls within a week. From the marketing material of the latest Toyota Mirai, it seems that they still use Hydrogen stored in gas form, boasting improvements in a 3-layer tank that is tested for 235% of the pressure that the gas is stored at, compared to 150% for regular gas containers.

First,

Yeah and what does that have to do with the Hydrogen being stored in gas form? The fuel cell converts it, it isn’t a storage mechanism. Hydrogen has a boiling point of -253C, are you saying that Hydrogen powered cars are fitted with a power hungry cryo chamber to cool down the fuel to a liquid form?

First,

Your lamp shade is driving me crazy!

First,

Yeah, for example convicted pedos have a higher suicide rate than the average - I don’t think most people believe that is a statistic we should work on changing.

First,

My statement wasn’t about what’s “morally right”, it was an example of a suicide that the average person will consider a net gain for society.

A civilized society should obviously not have as its’ goal to make parts of its’ inhabitants kill themselves - the podcast that I got the statistic from was actually an interview with a police officer who worked on monitoring related internet activities, and proactively confronting said individuals to offer preventative chemical castration and therapy sessions. That still doesn’t change the fact that most would rather just see those kinds of people gone, at least after they’re convicted/proven to act upon their urges.

First,

That’s because of the way it is.

First,

It’s almost like the point of these scenarios is fun escapism and isn’t about perfectly simulating an apocalyptic wasteland down to the most mundane and uninteresting parts.

Also, they time travel past going to the shitter, sleeping, most of the journeys etc. So unrealistic that it’s literally unwatchable.

First,

What country is this, so that I never travel there?

First,

Sound more like the U.S. than Germany - Germany has the €49/month public transport ticket, relatively good public transport offerings and a green party that has the best election results of the western industrial countries. Of course shutting down nuclear power plants didn’t do them any favours regarding pollution.

First,
  • Don’t code in a language/style that requires you to write code that makes prefixing necessary - divide and conquer instead
  • Readable code and well written unit/BDD tests is much better than separate documentation that will go out of sync the minute another Dev does some surgical incision into the code
  • Be verbose if you need to in order to convey the relevant semantics, the characters are virtually free
  • Use the casing that is mainstream/recommended by its’ developers for the language at hand
First,

In 1991 we paid around $60 for the best Nintendo NES video games (we had 22% VAT at the time in my country). That’s roughly $127 adjusted for inflation.

First,

Why do I need to install Linux in order to install a WYSIWYG word document editor of my choice?

First,

Honey, please fill out these court papers, I need you to change your name to this new ticket number that I’m starting work on next Monday.

First,

Hexbear.net is a Russian nationalist instance… They’ve grown up under Putin’s cencorship and state media brainwashing.

First,

By no one, I assume you mean everyone, including the Russian troll bots?

First,

“Punch Drunk Love” in the theater back then, and was mesmerized by it.

Btw if you liked the female lead of Punch Drunk Love and like movies that explore depressive topics, you should see Breaking the Waves

First,

Thy food is tie food, not thai food.

First,

Maybe you should try installing Linux on your gaming PC - then you’ll become a true believer.

First,

It’s a WEBP file, not a GIF.

First,

I have never twatted on twitter, so I wont kiss on ten either.

First,

Is there a free tier? I just check in every other week, and I’m surprised I can still use Relay without a subscription.

First,

Here in Norway there was a marked shift to acceptance for more home office post-Corona. We did have stricter and longer restrictions than you guys though, and basically things didn’t go back to normal until winter 2022. At my work I’d say 80% do home office at least 1 day per week, and 30% do home office 4/5 days in the week (we have one mandatory office day per week). I’d also say that a few percent have taken that opportunity to do “quiet quitting” and essentially do nothing (joining meetings from the car in the middle of the day on their way to IKEA and stuff like that, never engaging in or starting initiatives by themselves etc.), but that’s on management for not getting rid of them.

Personally I still go 5/5 days by own choice, because I live right next by, prefer the ritual of switching into job/focus mode that it is to walk to the office, and like sitting in a separate place that has no distractions (compared to home, where I would take 5 minutes to do the dishes, take an extended trip to the grocery at lunch, etc) and that my brain only associates with working.

First,

Yes the current leader is a generic russian politician/stooge, but the previous leader was a real firecracker! He claimed to have been abducted by aliens and to have visited their planet en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kirsan_Ilyumzhinov

First,

What about meat beaters?

First,

We enjoy heavy petting just as much as the next animalkin.

First,

Drug addicted smiley man should grow a pair - like literally, he has air for a crotch.

First,

Relay for Reddit is still going strong, the dev spent a lot of time doing API call measurements and optimizations the past few months. He’s switching to a subscription model soon though.

First,

Yeah, the rest of it is hot garbage - rambling uninspired dialogue, bad actors, story line all over the place. Stick with the books IMO.

First,

TIL Tori Amos auditioned for the female lead, lol!

First,

Suuuucks for development at least, it’s too small to divide into 3 zones, and if you divide by 2 you will just end up with a kink in your neck from always looking to the side. I’d rather have a single 27" with infinite virtual desktops I can shuffle around, than a 49" (my 49" has actually been collecting dust in storage for a couple of years now).

First,

In Norway, we just get it prefilled based on automatically reported data, and it’s delivered by default after a certain date - you can of course make changes up until then (and retroactively up to 3 years later).

First,

See en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Piketty for a basic rundown - in short, empiric data over the last 250 years show that unregulated capitalism concentrates wealth at a rate that is larger than the economic growth.
