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 1 week ago:
Modern CFLs use an arc? I thought they were cathode based, emitting UV from forcing mercury vapour to dance

Oh. Well when you finish SOMA let me know how you feel. I’m interested to know.

Similar, but I consider myself agnostic, and I’m in no rush to reach the point of ‘find out or cease existing’

Well they removed all the parts of him he filled with resin and just joined it back up after. So…skipped the waiting for cancer step?

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.

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.
- Comment on After Apple originally announced the first version of Halo in 1999, Xbox apparently called Bungie and said "'Steve Jobs can't have that. We're going to buy you.'" 2 months ago:
Some things have survived, like CUPS…but yeah, their track record isn’t great.

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 2 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.
- Comment on ISP tricked customers about fiber optics being used in their internet service, German court rules — 'full fiber' customers found to have 'last mile' copper connections 3 months ago:
When the ‘last mile’ is copper, the ISPs almost always use xDSL for the data delivery.
The extra equipment increases latency, decreases reliability, and often precludes high upload speeds.
I’m on true full fibre, and I get 500/500mbps, with the option of going to 2.5Gbps. A friend of mine on the same ISP who is limited to ‘fibre to the neighborhood’ maxes out at 300mbps down, 90 up. - Comment on wax on 4 months ago:

Lol, no. But Rogan in his prime is still way more capable than the average adult.
- Comment on Woof is dog for "You may test that assumption at your convenience" 4 months ago:
Good question. I didn’t have occasion to test it. If we assume a good herd dog is roughly equivalent to Joe Rogan in his prime, I likely would have died though, yeah.

For those wondering, Casper continued to do well, and won ‘Farm dog of the year’ in '23.

I was 6’ tall in 7th grade, and no, I wasn’t held back. I’m still 6’ tall now. I didn’t do any vertical growing after the summer between 6th/7th grades.

Fair enough, I should have been thinking bigger.
- Comment on Uh oh lol 4 months ago:
The expansion is supposed to be happening everywhere at the same time, not just at the edges.
For example, tomorrow there should be more space between the Sol and Alpha Centauri systems than there was yesterday.
Our present understanding suggests that ‘normal’ universal expansion should not (in and of itself) result in anything moving towards us. - Comment on 5 tomatoes 5 months ago:
We kind of do have metric inches, insofar as machinists work in 'thou’s (thousands of an inch) But that’s kind of specialist

And isn’t 1kg of water 1L? And 1L is 1000 cubic cm? So a 10x10x10 cube?
