No, but thinking that most men look like ogres (including oneself) coupled with the apparent fixation on gender and it’s easy to see how people would come to that conclusion.
gender dysphoria or whatever the kids call it nowadays
You knew what ‘egg’ refers to in this context, but you’re unsure if ‘gender dysphoria’ is appropriate terminology? That’s simultaneously specifically knowledgeable and also totally clueless.
Can’t say I know what that looks like, but the US is a big place. There’s a lot of different looks to it.
But even poor Poland Villages have electric kettles.
We do have them. You can get one at nearly any big box store. They’re cheap too. Most Americans still don’t own one because we have no particular need.
It’s an excuse for me and some buddies to get drunk and yell at Geoff keighly for a couple hours.
I put very little stock in them as a true reflection of quality in the industry, though it’s occasionally nice to see Indies and smaller devs get some recognition.
I played for a while and it’s fun. Definitely worth the price, and IMO it’s an easy game to drop for a while and come back to a month later. Helps prevent burning out. If you’re the kind of player that needs to 100% everything in a week or two you might find it grueling; there’s a ton of progression to do.
It’s nice that you can just go on a single mission and it only takes ~1/2 hour, so there’s hundreds (thousands?) Of hours of content, but it’s all broken into small enough chunks that most people could probably fit it into their schedule.
It’s hard and it particularly slows down the asset production process which is already a disproportionately slow and expensive part of development. Way easier to let the artists go apeshit exporting everything at 8k and a billion polygons because storage is cheap in a production environment.
Compression could help in theory, but then you’d have to decompress assets on the fly which takes a significant amount of processing power. The industry is trying to reduce the latency of getting assets into memory, compression would be moving the other way from that.
If you’re conspiratorially minded then you might also conclude that it’s to prevent people from having another major live service game installed on base model consoles, making you more likely to keep playing the one you’ve already installed. A kind of walled garden effect.
Nothing except the work of creating lower quality assets and splitting off the HD stuff into a separate download. Totally doable and I’d love to see it, but I doubt studios will commit the man hours unless they can be convinced that it will really make the game sell better.
It’s impossible to use windows without giving up basically all data privacy already. Microsoft’s position for at least the last ten years has basically been ‘give up all your digital privacy to us or find another OS.’
For context: DirectX support in Intel’s ARC GPUs were really lacking due to running on a transition layer, it was one of the sore spots of their new graphics card. This update looks like it will help massively.
I’ve heard this so many times. If they were all true the a770 on the shelf in my office would have created an AI singularity. Alas, on the shelf it stays. Maybe a second generation will actually have most of the bugs hammered out and be performant enough to rival AMD and Nvidia
IDK, maybe not. It’s easy to think of space travel and robotics as more complex than medicine, but I don’t think that’s necessarily true. I wouldn’t be at all surprised if we have mass produced droids before we’ve totally cured skin aging. Maybe not interstellar travel, but you never know
You’d need two filament colors, and it would take a while just to do one page. If it’s a five pager then it could take hours. And then you’d have to turn in a big stack of plastic slabs. If you accidentally print a typo-
Coffee is more socially acceptable than popping pills
Caffeine pills are somewhat harder to find. I can’t order them at a restaurant.
Edit: I’ll point out that you’ll rarely find someone who only drinks coffee for the caffeine. For many (most?) it’s just a perk, or even an unfortunate side-effect, hence the popularity of decaffeinated coffee.
I have to disagree. Nearly all stores that sell caffeine pills, gas stations and pharmacies mostly, will also sell coffee in some form. Many workplaces, offices in particular, will have coffee available for free to employees. Even many waiting rooms and lounges at airports, train stations, even the lobby of the local mechanic have coffee available. Plus pretty much all restaurants and bars will have coffee.
If you limit yourself to only ‘good’ coffee then you may have a harder time, but that’s really got more to do with your personal preference than availability.
You’ve got a point that pills are easier to carry once you’ve got them, and your money goes a longer way with them. And they’re obviously easier than making a coffee yourself. To be clear, I’ve got no problem with pills, they just aren’t my go-to.
As another said, that’s not spaghetti junction (Tom Moreland interchange), but frankly people get pretty fast and loose with how much of the surrounding area they’ll call ‘Atlanta’ anyway. The actual city of Atlanta proper is much smaller than most people would think by just looking at a satellite photo, and the distinction between the many cities usually doesn’t matter much unless you live there.

100°F is roughly (like really roughly) the hottest temp your likely to see in most temperate climates throughout a year. 0°F is(again really roughly) the lowest. The result is you can use Fahrenheit basically as a percentage, or a 0 to 100 temperature score to help you decide how to dress/prepare for the day. If the temperature is above or below 100 or 0 then you need to consider fairly serious precautions before going outside for any length of time.
It’s not a very precise system at all, and it obviously has no place in a laboratory or similar situation. But it does work quite well for communicating the weather to common people. There is very little desire among Americans to change to Celsius not because they don’t understand it (we’re all taught Celsius in grade school) but because Fahrenheit serves most people’s needs perfectly adequately.
OP is also arguing that easily recalling the boiling temperature of water (one of the big purported advantages of Celsius) is useless for most people as nobody actually measures the temperature of water while boiling it. Except, maybe, in a classroom, probably while demonstrating to children how the Celsius scale works.
In this context I read fantastic in a morally indifferent sense, as in it set him apart from others and allowed him to leave an impression on the world, albeit a hugely harmful one.
No mass murderer has ever caused a sea-change of how things are, as a result of the murder they commit … Mass murder never has the results these killers seem to think it will.
And what results are those? I can’t speak for any spree killers, but I’ve never gotten the impression that they believed their killings would actually change anything. They typically seem to be acting purely out of revenge, albeit misplaced.
And how despicable to say that kids should be armed.
Who said that? The OP on 4 Chan didn’t. I haven’t seen anyone in these comments say that.
GUNS ARE THE PROBLEM, they are NEVER the solution.
Gun control would be an effective way to reduce gun violence, and on its own that’s a credible argument. But guns literally are not the problem. The problem is the fact that people want to lash out at society and the societal/governmental forces that push them there. I’m not saying guns are good or not to control them, just don’t forget you’re treating a symptom rather than the root problem. If we were to only pass gun control these problems will continue to fester. Again, I’m not saying don’t do it.
I am 65 years old. If you aren’t, I don’t expect you to understand
Most of the people in power and in the electorate who have been stonewalling gun control as well as any kind of social welfare programs that could prevent mass killings are older than 65. It is old indifference, or even contempt, that’s holding us back, not young ignorance.
None of the links in that search support your argument. Saything that mass shootings are a mental health crisis, or a healthcare crisis (regardless of whether either is true) is not the same as blaming doctors for it.
Australia had nowhere near the saturation of gun ownership America has, and the common firearms there were simpler and cheaper. A gun buy-back would be much more expensive.
Then there’s the differences in public sentiment. It’s pretty obvious the American right-wing would overwhelmingly refuse to sell their guns at any price, and they represent the majority of gun owners. With current lefty distrust of police and rising extremists in the right, left wing gun owners don’t seem likely to willingly disarm either. If anything I’ve seen an uptick in leftists arming themselves.
But even if I’m wrong, a buy-back would do nothing if we don’t stop the sales of new guns first which would require an amendment to the Constitution effectively repealing one of the bill of rights. That’s pretty much the highest hurdle possible in the American government.
More supply is more supply. It’ll probably drive rent down a bit, assuming the plan works. This makes little difference to unemployed homeless people and does nothing to address the fact that many wealthy people see homes as a tool to secure their capital, but it’s not nothing. Hopefully it will help some people who are on the brink be a bit more secure in their housing.
