She stole 12.5 billion dollars?!
Jesus Christ. How much is enough?
In my hand, currently.
Wait, so the original Rift is useless? Like, I can finally toss it out and stop trying to sell it to someone?
Bro remember the top-down GTA games?! Those were legit.
Yeah that's what I've done. I've gotten very picky about which apps I allow to notify me of things. A week or two of turning off all the ones you don't want and your phone gets quiet real quick.
Never heard of the Jelly Star! $200 bucks?! I just ordered one.
Can't even use a joystick yet...
Hoooo child I lost some hours to that one.
Fortunately for me, the wife liked it too, so I didn't have to answer too many judgemental questions.
Rocket League on the other hand...
You know the sequel is in Early Access right? That's what killed me last weekend...
The first release was so half-baked that I didn't get into it, but they've released updates now that we're enough for me to lose a weekend playing it. I still think the description "early release" is accurate, but it's going to be a phenomenal sequel when they get the features and bugs worked out.
I bought this game like a year ago and have been afraid to install it for that very reason. Just haven't had a week in my life that I can completely clear my schedule. I feel like based on what I've heard about it, it's likely to scratch that same sort of itch that Kerbal Space Program does for me...
I can only imagine that they're offering it to me because my account is like 15 years old.. Either that, or I have about 200k post karma and 100k comment karma. (Not big numbers compared to karma whores, but still more than your average user).
For me, it's Kerbal Space Program.
I don't know if it do or isn't.
Lol they're trying to sell me shares at "pre-ipo prices".
I asked if they have any puts available... So far no reply...
Yeah true. Is power delete suite still the preferred method?
My man might be wearing the ol rose-colored glasses when it comes to the Limewire "heyday" of piracy.
I remember many times accidentally infecting my computer with a virus through that thing. That repair process was a HUGE pain in the ass.
I was stoned one night looking for concert footage and instead I got a video of a woman getting her head blown off at close range. That shit FUCKED. ME. UP. for a hot minute.
Todays situation is better in my opinion.
Man there's something about talking on a cell phone that makes me feel like I have to yell, and thus, hate talking on them.
As I remember land lines, they never felt that way.
Sounds like it's time for me to actually log back in and delete all my old posts. I've been putting that off for too long.
A few weeks ago my wife threw a book at me. I found that one to be particularly surprising.
Dude I feel this from my Arduino drum machine project.
Thing works great, except it randomly false triggers, and I can't for the life of me figure out why.
What is amazing is that people would rather live like this, and have four feet of grass between them and their neighbors, than in a place twice as big with a shared wall...
I'm working on an Arduino project that will likely rely on a 9v for its power. If I can get at least 40 hours of power, I'd be happy with that. Here's why I think it's doable:
First, rechargeable 9v lion batteries nowadays have substantially higher capacities than even a few years ago. I see one on Amazon rated for 5400mWh!
Of course, I'll want to reduce power consumption as much as possible, so I'm thinking an Arduino micro would be the best choice (though I will be attaching a shield to it, which will add to the current draw.
My understanding is that the linear regulator on the Arduino is capable of reducing the 9v down to 5v, but at great expense to efficiency through heat loss. My thinking was to bypass the linear regulator entirely, and rely on a much more efficient buck converter to adjust the voltage down to 5v.
Thinking it might be possible to reduce the core clock as well, and run the Arduino at 3.3v instead of 5.
Anything I should consider that I might have missed? I'm excited for the project, but definitely need to get the power consumption as low as possible so I can run it off a 9v and not be constantly swapping/charging.
My wife works in a restaurant, and the power-tripping manager has instituted a new policy where all shift changes must be approved by management. I think that is reasonable enough, but they're also asking the originally-scheduled employee why they are switching shifts, then approving or denying based on the answer.
For example, her coworker (Tom) wanted Monday afternoon off, and Harry agreed to cover the shift. The manager asked Tom why he wanted Harry to work for him, and Tom said, "I have a softball game." Manager denied the shift change because it was "unnecessary".
Is this legal? I feel like if you're able to find someone to cover your shift, you don't owe management any explanation why you need the time off. How should my wife approach this situation? Colorado, USA BTW.
