Tell me you’ve never worked at a large company without telling me you’ve never worked at a large company.
This is pretty standard policy and has been true everywhere I’ve ever worked. In order to maintain any amount of security or stability, you’ll need everyone not only in the same OS, but will prescribe the specific updates/patches that need to be applied. Depending on the industry, you may also need to approve things anywhere from the level of individual applications to device drivers.
LOW-ER DECKS! LOW-ER DECKS! LOW-ER DECKS!
Everyone who isn’t terminally online thinks like this. People who aren’t exposed to the deluge of shit that is actually happening all think “He’s a pretty bad president, but if he was as bad as these people say he is, he would have been impeached by now.”
Structure for my personal life at every level is still a skill I’m struggling with at age 45.
I feel like if I had been taught to plan my day and held accountable for it at an early age, it would come much more natural to me now at the micro and macro level.
Instead I just blame my lack of ability to organize on my work schedule, which truthfully only fluctuates by a couple hours at most.
I think everyone agrees, we just don’t have faith that it’ll bear fruit. There’s been someone in the party doing this since Trump won his first primary, but they’ve always been stopped at some level by ANY degree of opposition, from thinly veiled foot dragging to blatant corruption.
This has already been fixed. The top AI result is now this article.
My over the top positive lil guy was a halfling bard who was a baker. All his instruments were pots and pans he would bang on. His vicious mockery was telling you ways that you let down people in your life and genuinely wanting to help you do better. His bags were full of homebrewed muffins that were infused with calm emotions which he would use to pacify and bribe NPCs. Whimble Buttercrust became the de facto party leader and turned our resident murder hobo into a struggling pacifist who would snap if anyone put Whimble in danger.
The other halfling in our party was a horny rogue, so I played Whimble asexual. The DM was also horny so they found it amusing to watch Whimble struggling to graciously excuse himself while remaining oblivious (until it was no longer possible and then becoming flustered).
The other day I heard someone say “fuck around and find out” to mean “experiment to discover the correct path” and was really amused by that concept.

Pie shop near me just started making a butter chicken pie. It’s fucking amazing.
This is a great factoid! No idea why I’m getting downvoted.
Star Trek: Every planet is either a set or within driving distance of Los Angeles
I fully believe the narrative of “I got a skull tattoo from the wall of the shop that my marine buddies all got together.”
As far as Nazi symbolism goes, that’s one of the lesser used and more generic symbols. It was only used on uniforms of a specific subset of Nazis, the ones DIRECTLY involved w/ concentration camps, not the MILLIONS of other troops. It was not emblazoned on flags/banners, money, vehicles, etc. Basically, it wasn’t part of the branding you would see anywhere outside of a (relatively) small group of people, conservatively < 5% of uniforms. Tons of different military orgs have used skull symbols throughout the ages.
I could definitely see anyone impressionable enough to join the marine infantry just not having enough historical knowledge to recognize that particular skull as Nazi symbology.
If the tattoo was on his arm or somewhere commonly exposed, I could see someone calling him out on it in the intervening years. Of the people who would see him bare chested, how many would recognize it? Of those, how many would bring it up to him vs silently judge him?
I’m willing to give the benefit of the doubt that he was ignorant of what he had tattooed on his body. Much like his past, when he learned the error of his ways, he addressed it and corrected it. This is the definition of what leftists do and the source of the (now tainted) concept of “becoming awakened” to how fucked up the world is. He started off surrounded by people who successfully encouraged him to join the marines, he’s come a lot further than most of us.
Chuck Schumer does not represent his constituents, he represents his campaign contributors.
I have a smart watch that can detect when I fall asleep. I would love it if there was a way to sync that time stamp with when I started a movie and automatically fast forward to 5 mins before then.
It would have to be some third party integration so the streaming service doesn’t harvest the data and decide to stop making things I enjoy because I had a long day.
Good Chicken Tikka Masala is good in any vessel. I live in Southern California and there’s a place near me that wraps it in a burrito with basmati rice. The burrito is basically naan and I would argue this is the best format.
I worked on one of these games (and a PS3 launch title). I feel like this post makes it sound like I should be living in a retirement home instead of still trying to figure out how to become a first time home owner.
Starting w/ M4 MacBook Pros, the anti reflective screen option is shockingly good.
This article is sensationalizing a non-issue. It reads like the author went to the convention with the story already written and then tried (and failed) to find people that supported the premise.
As someone who attended GDC for the full week this year, I can tell you that not a single conversation I had or panel I attended discussed the RAM shortage. I’m sure this topic arose in some circles, especially anything related to the timing or cost of next gen hardware. As a professional AAA game designer of 25 years and an occasional game director, this does not affect the way that the games themselves are made. Games on consoles already have their limitations, games on PC should always be (but not always are) optimized to work across a broad spectrum of hardware configurations, with the minimum spec being the lowest system possible without sacrificing playability.
Even people interviewed in the article are saying the same thing:
“Does this affect us? No,” Subotnick said. “We’re making games on as many platforms as we can to delight consumers. Could it impact us? Sure. If there’s less devices for people to get their hands on, then we potentially have less consumers to sell to. But right now, I’d argue that there are plenty of consumers with plenty of devices for us to sell these games to. Where it could impact us is, sure, we will have to make decisions around next-gen platforms when they tell us that it’s time to bring content to them. And if they are threatened to have a total addressable market that is viable from a business standpoint, sure that’s a business challenge. But right now all I’d be doing is speculating on a bunch of hypotheticals.”
I mean, it’s a hot take, I’ll give you that. I can’t agree with it, though. Every line of dialogue in that film moves plot. It’s really well edited and far ahead of its time. Modern cinema owes a lot to the lessons taught by Casablanca.
