Absolutely love that CCC talk, very interesting and quite entertaining too.
Cheeky bastards.
To take it to a logical extreme, it frustrates me when a post that considers both (or more) views and is a well thought out post, is met with a single world reply - as if it’s some sort of “gotcha” or the fact that a single ambiguity in a largely solid argument somehow usurps the entire point.
I tend to think they’re either young or generally underexposed to how human interaction works.
It looks like a pepperoni pizza that was stored on its end.
Coffee shops are fantastic. My other half doesn’t get why I go out to buy a coffee that I could easily make in the house for next to fuck all, but it was never about the coffee - it was about being out of the house and watching the world go by. There’s a coffee shop in a hotel that overlooks the thoroughfare between one of my local city’s biggest shopping centres and it’s rail station, and it’s nice just wasting an hour or two watching people go about their lives.
The cost of the coffee is just a warmth and comfort tax really for sitting there.
Good effort, that’s a decent shape to be in. 10k runs are my “thing” but as my march into middle age progresses, I find I can’t do them back-to-back any more, I’m needing more than a day or two to recover.
Maybe go for something a little more varied - I’m training for (but never done) local triathlons. Great way to build physical fitness with only a third of the high impact on the joints. The major limiting factor will be the pool of course, unless you’re fortunate to own (or have unrestricted access to) a pool.
Random turn of conversation direction, are you creative at all? Crocheting seems to make the world go by at an alarming rate - it’s both a time killer and very rewarding.
Unfortunately, this would be gender and/or location dependent. Great advice for daylight hours, but the society we currently live in makes it perhaps less viable for women in certain areas or countries, or even in general if it’s a particularly socially deprived area.
Absolutely on board with the exercise thing though. I’ve taken to trying to waste time on an exercise bike - even an inexpensive one, or a normal bike mounted on a turbo trainer. I’m not expecting anyone to bang in speeds and times like Lance Armstrong on some special supplements, but a slow spin for longer periods of time is great fun… just get a good wide comfortable saddle!
Yes.
It’s not that we’re particularly fucked financially, we’re doing enough to keep our heads well clear of the water, but we’re not wealthy by any means and either parents have helped us by stumping up an initial outlay on something, and we’ve paid them back.
The waste is a fair point - storage isn’t a long term solution but then I suppose it can be managed in the interim, not like the effects of climate change.
I’m not seeing your point of “nukes” though?
Nightdive’s track record is stellar in fairness.
I’ve still got my PS1 copy of PO’ed and it hasn’t aged well at all. I think the world was still clamouring for new and inventive Doom-clones at the time that people were willing to forgive clunky gameplay and unbalanced weapons, but this remaster will do it a whole load of favours.
Disruptor is another mediocre game that springs to mind, but was well received because it was the best-of-the-rest in what we now know to be first person shooters. That would be a cool remaster too - perhaps even Lifeforce Tenka, or even Sentient if they were feeling brave.
Shock horror: a fucking idiot who build his persona on a foundation of being loud, obnoxious, and a bit of a twat turns out to be loud, obnoxious, and a bit of a twat.
Oh, and a nonce too.
Try electrical engineering! All you need is a socket and a fork!
Today: variable manip to cause the engine to read a jump to the ending
Tomorrow: TASBot codes Call of Duty remaster using jumps and damage boosts and launches it by climbing stairs [MILLY BITCHELL APPROVED] [SPEEDRUN ASMR]
In fairness, I very much doubt a chargeback would even get so far as a human.
From what I’ve seen with other companies across different continents, a chargeback triggers an automatic account ban with whichever retailer and that’s that.
A good point, but if privacy is their key concern then I would imagine it would have to be a two step approach - rip out the SIM and radio, but also have a couple of plan B’s such as phones with location tracking (the irony isn’t lost on me), land-based EPIRB’s, or satphones or whatever’s needed.
That, or invest in some drop-croc martial arts!
I encountered Quishing the other day - the inadvertent scanning of QR codes that take a browser to a malformed URL or site with malware embedded.
Back in my day, it was just called “being a bit dense”, especially as most cameras/QR readers will offer you a prompt to go to a website first.
Looks like a Samsung battery, about to give off some disco gas.
Yeah the charge got binned as internet access became more mainstream.it was inexpensive though, like £2 for half hour or something.
I’d pay a fair bit more to go back to an age when staring at this beautiful icon was all the reassurance you needed that the page was on its way:
yes mate they did this
