  1.28 is the new 2 1.5

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨2x2 lumber at Home Depot is now 1.28x1.28. Nominal size is supposed to be 1.5⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  So, more than 10% difference, that’s enough to be a problem, indeed

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨2x2 lumber at Home Depot is now 1.28x1.28. Nominal size is supposed to be 1.5⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  So don’t fret. The next bundle of 2-by-4s you pick up in the hardware store are certain to be the exact same size: 1.5-by-3.5 inches.

  So they can measure precisely, after all

  And here I am thinking that it was a burger for reeeeally hungry people. No delusion anymore, it seems

  Maybe they mill, store, and sell under the same moisture conditions?

  Also, how big is the difference in size and moisture for the same piece of wood? I would expect that moisture is usually not higher than 90% and not lower than 10% or something like that, but don’t know how it really is

  But we also don’t know what was sold, so we may guess from the statistics of trafficking that it was stimulators or weed:

  drug trafficking offenses per drug: methamphetamine and cocaine about 24% each, marijuana 22%, crack cocaine 13%, heroin 10%

  Plot twist, he’s a drug dealer here:

  I thought you were referring to the lack of causality in the original statement 😅

  Although I agree that BG3 was not exactly well polished, it was far from being “blatantly unfinished”. I’d even say it was far more finished than what can be considered finished by contemporary standards

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Recognize the mother of Wifi⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I totally agree with the first part (can’t agree with the second because I’m not an honors grad, not in political science, and not from Harvard)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Recognize the mother of Wifi⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  ACK

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Academic job talks⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s the opposite when there’s too much protection: defendant provides an independent expert’s opinion, court provides state approved expert of questionable ethics and professional qualifications but with a correct opinion, i.e. the one that supports the prosecution. And guess who the court will listen to, and that state provided expert is untouchable and has no reason to actually do a good job.

  In the long run everything might be false, even your own memory changes over time and may be affected by external forces.

  So, maybe there will be no way to tell the truth except when experiencing it firsthand, and we will once again live like ancient Greeks, pondering about things.

  To be fair, I hope that science and critical thinking might help to distinguish what is true or not, but that would only apply to abstract things, as all the concrete things might be fabricated

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cities Skylines 2: "Beach properties assets are all gone and my city is screwed. Thanks a lot."⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is but their legit response was “dunno, that wasn’t supposed to happen but it kinda did, maybe don’t do anything now, we’ll try to fix it sometimes”, so this is not that far:

  developer response: "Hi all! I just wanted to pop in and let you know we’re looking into what’s happened as you were of course supposed to keep access to the Beach Properties content until the patch that moves it to the base game arrived. Assets are replaced by the placeholder boxes, but as the waterfront zoning isn’t available in the base game yet, I recommend holding off on loading saves with a lot of those zones. At this time we don’t have an ETA for when this is resolved, but at the very least the upcoming patch (date still to be announced) will resolve it as the assets become part of the base game. I’m so sorry for the inconvenience this is causing!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cities Skylines 2: "Beach properties assets are all gone and my city is screwed. Thanks a lot."⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  screenshot of a comment in the thread mocking a reply from developer: “Change management is particularly difficult with games like Cities Skylines 2. It’s the most complete in depth city simulation ever written. There are a lot of moving parts and with its agent based deep simulation change management is a challenge. It’s difficult to see in advance that removing game assets from the game will result in the unavailability of said assets in game. No doubt the there there was a change management procedure prepared in advance that was reviewed by all stakeholders. But this was such an edge case, removing assets resulting in the unavailability of said assets in game, that this interruption simply couldn’t have been for foreseen. It won’t be long now. In last week’s update CO announced its intent to form an advisory panel, including members of the Cities community. CO will be able to leverage this expertise when formulating its rollback strategy. It’s a solid bet that forming this advisory panel will be on COs agenda in the next couple weeks and we will see content creators showcasing a pre-release rollback in the months that follow. CO has committed to fixing core game features before the release of Bridges and Piers in Q1 of 2025 and we have every reason to believe this commitment is firm. Certainly we will see Beach Properties assets return to Skylines 2 by Q4 2024 or at the latest as an update to the base game released simultaneously with Bridges and Piers in Q1 of 2025.”

  This is just gold 🤣

  It seems they’ve changed its appearance

  to this

  smiling grey mascot looking like a grey tako hotdog

  from this

  mascot has deep green skin, large eyes with huge pupils, flat wide mouth, and looks creepy while holding a real geoduck that looks as a trunk growing from a clam at best

  The old one looked much more impressive

  Did they run out of, like, normal mascots?
