What do you recommend? Genuine question. I tried hosting my own email and eventually its just... It's too much. Like everything rejects you out of hand because your email servers aren't known. I could do more research and maybe figure that hurdle out but there does end up being an upper bar of effort.
I tried proton mail, but it's not great. How is Yahoo or other large email providers?
Right, I recall news from years ago where a bunch of celebrities' very private photos backed up to iCloud were leaked. They may or may not have known they uploaded those to iCloud, I dunno. But imagine what's up there if you don't realize you're doing a backup. Not just photos, but like scanned documents with vulnerable information. And all that personal info in a centralized server is a big ol honeypot for a malicious actor.
It's not hard to see why this is a vulnerability, is what I'm getting at.
The affect of the microwave would fall off exponentially with distance. So like if it has X power at Y feet away, and you go out to 2Y feet away, the affect would be quartered. The affect on a drone isn't going to do much, even if it really messes with your wifi close up.
I would question the efficiency claim. Uber and the like claimed incredible market dominance, driving local food delivery and taxi services out of business. They're only now really being forced to find profitability.
I wonder if AI is going to be similar. The powerful models right now, as I understand it, have ludicrous power requirements. I don't know their balance sheets, but in the current race to market share, I'm skeptical that most of these services are in the green.
What that ultimately says about the future I don't really know. Like it could be we reach some point where the models get better, or more specialized, or something and profit arrive. Or maybe theres a point of diminishing returns where the profit just can't be made, and once the hype falls off (and investors stop clamoring for AI) these companies will ask what they're getting for the money spent.
(And of course I could just be straight up wrong about profits today not being there.)
Flavored tobacco was literally marketed to children, to get them addicted to cigarettes from an early age. The "protect the children" arguments are often used to ban things that made no impact or even positive impact in children's lives (DnD, sexual equality). Or it's used to justify surveillance and overreach (porn bans and she verification laws)
These aren't equivalent.
It comes from the case against Henry Ford after he saw his company was making gobs of cash and decided to give some of that to his employees. Shareholders successfully sued him to stop this on the grounds that he has a fiduciary duty to shareholders.

As with anything legal, there is nuance, but the basic assertion that there is fiduciary duty to shareholders is not wrong.
$7, but you a only spend $10 at a time! It ain't gonna be 10 quests or 5 quests. It's gonna be like 3 or six so you'll be left with $9 in coins and feel like you're wasting cash if you don't spend another $10 to buy some other creation club shit.
God I fucking hate the premium currency tactic.
Look if someone's having a bad time, it don't cost much to throw em a bone. Like sure, that last attack killed them a round early because everyone has had a moment to feel proud today but you. Or like the spellcaster who is feeling a bit shitty because every monster has saved against their spells by some fluke today.
Like if they aren't having fun, what am I doing here?
Video games do this shit all the time. Famously the first GoW gave new players a small boost in multiplayer. It led to a community and better engagement in the long run because people had more fun. BG3 has that goofy 'karmic dice' system, which is on by default. Fire emblem lies. etc etc
Why would you say that? Do you think everyone is just really jazzed about death? I think you seem to have missed the point of the outcry.
Might be worth spoofing your user agent! I mostly just make it look exactly like the user agent my windows machine sends, so I'll still look like a Firefox user. But by default, Firefox will note that it's the Linux build in the user agent.
You really can. Right to work, + free speech is only applicable wrt the government.
The fact that it's legal does not make it moral.
Not the person you responded to, but: left economically is not left socially.
Also, it's cheap to speak total bullshit, but it takes time, effort, and energy, to dispel it. I can say the moon is made of cheese, you can't disprove that. And you can go out and look up an article about the samples of moon rock we have and the composition, talk about the atmosphere required to give rise to dairy producing animals and thus cheese.
And I can just come up with some further bullshit that'll take another 30 minutes to an hour to debunk.
If we gave equal weight to every argument, we'd spend our lives mired in fact-checking hell holes. Sometimes, you can just dismiss someone's crap.
Alright! Tbh it's hard to see the line sometimes, and it's impossible having a discussion with someone who just wants to launder some right wing view through a veneer of "just asking questions".
I (not the person you're responding to) make no claims that she has called for laws to execute kids. I do agree that anti trans laws that JKR advocates for will kill children, but the added layer of "via depression-induced suicide" is something hard to prove and easy to shift responsibility around.
I'm not British though. Maybe she's also argued for some sort of "death penalty for going into the 'wrong' bathroom" type law. I wouldn't know.
Ugh this is sea lioning. Do you or do you not think JKR is transphobic? And do you or do you not think that trans rights are human rights?
Oh god.
My service went down at timestamp x
This message looks like a potential root cause and has a lunar origin
the lunar box reports sending a message to me at timestamp y
the relay station reports relaying said message from the lunar box at timestamp z
Can you confirm the lunar message was sent at the right time to have been the cause?
Do the logs on the lunar box come timestamped with a "helpful" string representation? If they're in unix epoc, is that time dilation adjusted?
How do satellites do it, I wonder?
Ah! Well! I don't like that!
As with DD1, DD2 is fun and I don't mean to say it isn't. The MTX just provides a barrier to entry for folks turned off by it, and I wish it wasn't there.
Huh. Did it??
Here's someone corroborating you, but it's impossible to Google at the moment for obvious reasons. I have 0 recollection of any MTX, though. FWIW, it wouldn't be any less bad if they did it before too.
To be clear though, it didn't ruin it. I said it "marred" the game. It is a mark that affects how the game is perceived and I hate that. The game itself is fun, and I didn't mean to imply otherwise.
Hate it hate it. This game is so good, and it's like I'm playing my old favorite again. The fact that they marred my baby with MTX like this is just gross. DD1 should be more popular, and what they did to DD2 may keep it from being the powerhouse it could because people will see the "mixed" ratings and second guess. Or they'll open the store page and see a wall of MTX and get the wrong idea.
But that's just part of it of course. If this works for them, it'll explode. And it will work for them. And everyone will get these fucking MTX in their full priced AAA games. And then once sales on MTX aren't up to snuff -- or if they are up to snuff, but in a few quarters when sales are merely consistent rather than continuing to grow -- they'll start pushing it. Just like they did with Shadow of Mordor where the gameplay gave you a nasty grind and a quick "buy your way past it" option.
I'll never buy the "it doesn't effect you in a single player game" argument. It will, because the market incentives a worse experience for those less willing to buy in.
I dont honestly expect you to see this, but it was fun enough I thought I say something in a public space.
If you're a tuskan raider who was working with a gal doing belly flops and holding a big gun, that was me. I didn't think touching the world stone would change the map and make alchemist inaccessible, and I was hoping if we made a point to go back and intentionally die that the other guy in your game would see what was up.
I'm usually a solo player, and very rarely a mic player so I enjoyed the chance to hang out in a low pressure, no mic environment. I just wanted to mess around with my big ol engineer gun and enjoy big dakka. Thanks for putting up with me being actually incompetent, it was a good time :)
Like most folks with ADHD I have some spares for situations like the recent shortage.
Every so often it seems like the pill isn't really doing it's job. I start to wonder if I'm building up a tolerance, and need to ask for an increased dosage, and then suddenly I'm doing fine again.
Well, I was going through that recently, and I realized I just switched to my newest bottle. Now it feels just as strong, if not stronger than it used to be. As it happens, I tend to have some spares from days I forget and whatnot, so it's been maybe 2 weeks. That also means this last bottle was over month old, too. I wish I could remember if I'd just changed to the new bottle the last time this happened too.
I'm using Walgreens, and the shape of the pill changed last month, so maybe there's a different formulation? I just keep going through this feast and famine of medication efficacy, and Itd be nice to know if this is a problem I can actually solve without going to a higher dosage. Idk, maybe I'll keep them in the fridge while Im not using them or something.
