  When I managed our compost as a kid growing up, we composted the stickers and they would break down faster then egg shells or cofee grounds. But that was 20 years ago and in the US.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sliced off the tip of my thumb, what are some good one handed games?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Just about anything that is turn based. Board games ports, Roguelike games like Balatro, Slay the Spire, 9 Kings. Civilization games and Civ-likes. You can even play ttrpg ports like Baldur’s Gate and Divinity but it might be a little annoying without an RPG mouse. I played a lot of Civ when my left arm was paralyzed then weirdly Wii tennis after surgery.

  Empathy exists in humans on a spectrum. Different people have different priorities. Accepting these 2 truths explains a lot of human behavior and history.

  As an American in NZ I did not expect any trick or treaters this year as we didn’t have any last year. But we got a few dozen Indian kids.

  At my uni they’d take the highest grade of the class and reset that as the max points and grade from there.

  So if max points on an exam was 120 and no-one scored higher then an 85, then an 85 would be an A, 75 a B, etc.

  I’m a mediocre student but an amazing test taker and used to compete on math teams. So some of the math heavy engineering courses I would get perfect exam scores and sometimes the prof would ignore me as the highest grade. I was frustrated at first because my A didn’t mean the same as someone’s but I realized later it was to stop me from getting beat up by a bunch of 30 yo guys.

  Slay the spire?

  Factorio never goes on sale, but Shapez and shapez 2 are on sale and they are in the same genre but more beginner friendly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨FIFY⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  When I moved from the US to NZ I got way superior service then I’d ever had in the US and attempted tipping a “por boir” but they refused it and said if I really felt like giving extra they had a charity I could give to.

  Unfortunately I have started seeing tips being asked for by POS in Sydney and Auckland and it made me mad and sad.

  Engineer here: mostly use i, but have seen j used plenty. First time I saw j used was by a maths professor.

  I have a bit of an exhibitionist kink. If I thought I could make more money then I currently do, I totally would.

  Just wait until you learn about friction!

  We would have also gotten smart ass comments had they said “you don’t need and internet connection”

  The news is you can play offline.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You Can Play All Of Assassin's Creed Shadows Offline, But You Need A Connection To Install It⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Most (free) software you can download an installer to a file then copy that file onto another machine. Which means being able to install without an Internet connection. I work with a bunch of expensive software, and while this is still true, if you are offline you have to fetch an activation code. I have discs for several assassin’s creed. I don’t remember if they needed Internet access to activate or not…
