  It’s remarkably difficult to really fuck up freebsd. On Linux, getting boots to fail is easy. FreeBSD is quite a bit more robust in that regard, as the base image isn’t updated piecemeal.

  the subreddit r/okbuddybaldur is pretty much 50% Astarion porn and 50% Durge/Gortash shipping.

  So yes. People apparently want it. I guess.

  In this context, yes, because of the cancellation on the fractions when you recover.

  1/3 x 3 = 1

  I would say without the context, there is an infinitesimal difference. The approximation solution above essentially ignores the problem which is more of a functional flaw in base 10 than a real number theory issue

  She’s not wrong though… people are complicated. Math… well, at that age? Math is easy.

  Replaying Fallout: New Vegas. I wanted to do a tale of two wastelands, but I couldn’t get the mods to settle out. It’s a much better game than I remember from my first play through!

  Ryujinx works well, but not as well as yuzu, and doesn’t seem to be a target of takedowns

  Thanks! The first link was a useful summary, and I’ll look at the others when I have more time!

  Anybody got a link for a good explanation of this for someone whose knowledge of micro bio is 12 years out of date?

  As an engineer:

  1. Receive or identify a problem.
  2. Design a solution that solves or mitigated the problem.
  3. Usually pay someone to make a prototype or do it ourselves
  4. Test the prototype and see if it solves the problem. If no, go back to #2 until a workable solution is found
  5. Get someone else to build the final thing.
  6. Make sure thing works. Ship it.

  This is a recursive and iterative process. Meaning you will find problems inside your solutions and need to fix them.

  Eventually you finish the thing and get a new problem and do the whole game over again. It’s like a puzzle that requires absurd amounts of knowledge to play well, but anyone could try to solve the problem. That’s why good engineers are paid pretty well.
