Nah, my cousin needed stitches after trying to separate frozen burgers with a butter knife years ago.

Put them vertical on a cutting board, and keep your hands out from underneath it.

I think it’s got about 3-4 billion years left in the tank, if I remember reading correctly. It won’t be humanity’s problem.

There’s a transactional cost to processing the sale, hosting the giant download and then issuing the refund. If people organized and manipulated the system and this became a financial burden, then the policy would almost certainly change.

About it being completely arbitrary and anti-consumer? It 100% is.

I’ve got a gallon of chlorine bleach that can purify a few hundred gallons of water from the lake at the end of my street, a crossbow that can keep us fed for a while, and a smoker that can preserve meat. I do know how to properly can veggies to keep them preserved, but I’d run out of lids after a season. I suppose I’d save seeds from this years garden and grow a lot of winter squash next season, but cross pollination might mess that up.

Depending on whether or not I ran into a marauding gang of savages, I could probably make it longer than most.

I read that in ED-209

Sony has a horrific track record of data breaches.

They’re collecting and selling data about you for profit.

I place that bar higher than this.

For my own personal amusement, what else would they have to do to meet the level your personal anti-consumer bar is set at?

This is actually a fantastic idea. How long will it take Valve to threaten account bans for doing it?

A serial tech entrepreneur and venture capitalist who believes that pretty much everything governments currently do, tech can do better.

This is just really fucking rich.

Hear, hear!

Heyyy welcome back!

Impostor syndrome is a bitch

Yes it is, but look - onboarding at a new place is always tough. I’m assuming you didn’t lie and your resumè isn’t completely full of shit; you’ll do great. Bring in the knowledge you hold from your previous experience, and be willing to learn from your new employer, and you’ll rock out. You can handle this for sure.

I know these are technically memes, but I’ve been seeing so many of these hit home for months now. I’m starting to wonder if I was one of those kids who slipped through the cracks and never got diagnosed

I scrolled down specifically looking for a KSP comment, thank you.

I’m usually that person as well. BG3 was the first game in probably 8 years that hooked me on the story. If I sprinted through it, I would have probably saved like 80% of the time I spent playing it, but I enjoyed it. Maybe I’m simple, to me it felt like the decisions mattered.

There’s an easy answer to bring peace to Ukraine. The Russians can pack up all their shit and just go home.

You’re talking about people who love their guns more than children, so I don’t know how there’s any reasoning with that mentality.

I was He-Man on Halloween as an 8 year old. My little brother was Orko. It was pretty awesome.

Disenfranchisement is an invalid solution to a problem that effectively does not exist.
