- Comment on Memories of defragging your computer 1 week ago:
Ugh. MS-DOS 2.0-5.0 inclusive didn’t have a defrag tool. It was introduced with dos 6. While it could be helpful, the fact that we went more than a decade without a defrag tool as part of DOS reinforces just how optional it was/is. The benefit of defragging was that it would be marginally faster to read a file that was stored contiguously instead of in pieces. There was the side benefit as well that it was easier to recover data that wasn’t fragmented.
I’m not aware of any legitimate ‘Problems’ caused by simple fragmentation itself. That tech guy was not just wrong in his behaviour, but also in his technical knowledge. What an ass. - Comment on This is the dark souls of games journalism 1 week ago:
Why would you think Ape would not release it as he’s planned? He went many years of development into his first game before publishing.

The dawning realization of how little time we have on this earth hits really hard for some people, harder still for those that aren’t making the best out of their time.

- Comment on What do you think of Paramount merging with Warner Bros. Discovery to create a new media company? 2 months ago:
I think that mergers like this only ever benefit those who are responsible for taking the money out of the companies beforehand.
I believe that there has never been a merger of two near equally terrible companies that has ever benefited the consumers or the general public. It is almost always geared to getting a small number of investors paid. - Comment on Tune a fish 3 months ago:
Honestly, I try to avoid knowing any more about him than I can. I know a bunch of meta details, but didn’t dig that far into it.

I thought it was Mr. Hands, the aerospace engineer, that made us require that distinction.

Good points well made.

No. O is rarest. The chromosome pairs are made of A,B,O. A & B are Dominant, O is recessive. If I’ve done the math right, there’s 144 ways to combine the genes of parents giving a resulting distribution of
A 33.3%
B 33.3%
AB 22.2% O 11.1%. Because AA, AO, OA all result in type A… BB, BO, OB all result in type B… AB and BA both result in type AB… Only OO can produce type O blood. - Comment on i need sleep 3 months ago:

You didn’t engage with it but have spent the equivalent of 6 weeks of full time work in the game?
Maybe I’m setting my bar too low, but for a video game I expect to get 1hr enjoyment per dollar spent for me to consider a game ‘worthwhile.’
That aside, I agree it would be nice to have a more lived in feel in NMS, cities, a feel of civilization.

Depends on who gets the crown - or prices thereof - when Gabe passes. There are lots of cases where the beneficiary of an estate can’t afford to keep the asset due to a lack of liquidity, and is forced to sell.

Fair enough. The company I’m talking about did a million a month in payroll.
- Comment on Hey look, a giant sign telling you to find a different job 5 months ago:
I worked in a service center for a big company back in my 20’s, they would factor in callouts to their staffing plan, and use historical data for it. They also paid 2.5x time on holidays like the 25/26 December. That’s what a million dollar company should look like…if you want to make sure there’s coverage, you pay for it.

What exactly in the above sentence would have suggested to the average person that they should Google search the troubles?
Or are you saying any time I see a nonsensical sentence I should just stop what I’m doing and google search the whole thing? - Comment on Had to look this up 6 months ago:

I’ve never heard of that bug. I know you can marry Aela, and if you do marry her you can convince her to give up lycanthropy. If you don’t marry her, you can’t convince her.
