6 arc seconds, not a very well rounded individual

Friend of mine had the same scenario in high school. The only one who knew was the twin sister of the girlfriend. The rest of the family would never have accepted a non-muslim. It’s probably the only way to do this until she’s an adult and can tell them to fuck off.
- Comment on Kid gave a reasonable answer without all the math bullshit 6 days ago:
it’s much easier to just substract 2 from 2000, “IIMM” duh!
For anyone wondering why this is wrong, there are two reasons:
-
The roman numeral system only traditionally contains subtractions from the next higher five- and tenfold symbol. So you can subtract I from V and X, X from L and C, C from D and M
-
The subtractions only generally allowed one symbol to be subtracted, with a few notable exceptions like XIIX for 18 and XXIIX for 28

Given 4/6 x > 5/6 y therefore x > 5/4 y
Marty’s Pizza must have been more than a quarter larger than Luis’. The kid is exactly right. And the teacher is not flexible enough to engage outside their expectations for how the question was supposed to be answered.

Since the others tackled polygraph’s uselessness, I want to comment on another angle:
I think fundamentally in such a case it will be easy for you to convince yourself that you’re telling the truth in the moment you say it.
After all you are telling the truth to a version of the question, and you only have an assumption that the questioner means a different version of the question. Even if it’s a good assumption, nothing in particular makes your version worse, in fact you could argue it’s better.
That combined should make it easy to mentally gloss over the contradiction. So I think your physiological reaction will be indistinguishable from telling the truth on control questions.
- Comment on SteamOS finally released by Valve 2 weeks ago:
it won’t change shit if its Debian 2
So at best kernel 2.2.xx good luck with the hardware support. Flatpack is not a solution for everything.

Sooo… agitating?

I like the ghosting on the blade edge from the fake frames that they added in the right comic panel.

I think that only works with hot foods that don’t actually raise your bodies temperature
It feels hot and it affects circulation and stuff. But the physical heating effect is pretty minuscule. If you think about it, a human is more or less like 75kg of water at 36 degrees celsius, if you add 0.25kg of water at 50 degrees celsius (cup of tea) you end up with a body of 75.25kg at 36.05 degrees celsius.

If Randy Pitchford was a real CEO he would find a way to make $60 games

Ohh I see
Battlefield is named for its proximity to the 1861 Battle of Wilson’s Creek, one of the first large battles of the American Civil War.
It would not have occurred to me that you’d call a town that.

I know this is not the point, of the post, but what the hell do they mean by calling the raped teen a Battlefield teen? Was she a pro gamer?
- Comment on What's the worst spelling you've seen? 3 weeks ago:
Latierra
If I had to bully her I’d call her Latrine
- Comment on What's the worst spelling you've seen? 3 weeks ago:
Axel is the normal spelling around here (Switzerland), so I’m interested what you would have expected instead? Aksel?

From my layman’s perspective it sounds like this should net him some compensation under promissory estoppel
- Comment on Helpful tip for this weekend 3 weeks ago:
Doesn’t really matter, since I’m not an English delivery driver lol
- Comment on Helpful tip for this weekend 3 weeks ago:
He’s English it seems. I guess when it’s wet for 3/4 of a year the moped isn’t the preferred choice for delivery drivers.
- Comment on people trashing the self-service section of the post office 3 weeks ago:
Also they’re using “Packerl” for package that’s probably Austria. Maybe Switzerland it’s not like I’m a specialist in mountain gibberish.
As a native speaker of mountain gibberish I can tell you that’s not ours. Either Austria or maybe Bavaria. Their gibberish seems similar to me sometimes.
- Comment on people trashing the self-service section of the post office 3 weeks ago:
I think it’s Austria. “Packerl”

Those two skull outlines just look like they were photographed with a different focal length or something. There is no way skull morphology is this strongly affected by sex.
- Comment on What are some good examples of "Where the fuck do you go" kind of games? 5 weeks ago:
Disco Elysium for me. Too many open directions. Too much player agency. I had no idea where I should go.
- Comment on Recommendations for "girly" games? 5 weeks ago:
Yes same here. I did watch a bit of someone else playing the one with the two Mexican boys running away, but never really had the motivation to play it myself. I guess I just found time power to be much more interesting.
- Comment on If you're a broke vampire, just say that 5 weeks ago:
Oh yeah, and wasn’t there a Vampire who became crime scene photographer but had a vial of blood in his chest pocket. Just in case the flash would kill him, the blood would instantly drip onto his ashes and revive him.
- Comment on Recommendations for "girly" games? 5 weeks ago:
Agreed, I played it the first time when I was 26, and I’m a straight Swiss and German man. Freaking love playing as Max. I played it two more times after that, and also the Chloe focused prequel.
- Comment on Recommendations for "girly" games? 5 weeks ago:
Oh I think I know a good one! Haven, and it’s currently 60% off. You play as a couple who escaped a controlling society to a foreign planet.
There is a combat element, and I don’t think you can avoid it, but what you do is essentially clean the corruption off the local wildlife, instead of killing. Don’t know if that works for you, but it’s worth giving it a look I think.

at least constantly struggling for recognition, and are exploited as night shift workers in the emerging industry.
This reminds me a bit of Reg Shoe, leading dead rights activist in Ankh-Morpork.
Of course the Discworld is more funny, less grimdark, compared to your ideas. - Comment on Apex Legends writer gets laid off 24 hours after the character she wrote is revealed, because that's what the games industry in 2025 looks like 5 weeks ago:
I hope these CEO’s get their reckoning some way some day.
They seem to think it’s all just business and cruelly wielding power is no issue, but I think they overestimate how isolated they are.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
Ah, yes it’s for personal use, true. But the meaning of personal item as it relates to customs means an item that you take with you on the travels for your own use, so the assumption is that it leaves and re-enters your country with you. So that there is no net export or import involved.
My claim, if asked, would have been, that I always use two phones and I just took both with me when I went to Germany and took both back to Switzerland.

From Switzerland shopping in Germany is pretty worth it. Their VAT is 19% ours is 8.1% and on top of that their prices are generally cheaper. It’s a real thorn in the side of Swiss retailers. They lobbied to have the VAT free value lowered, since this year it’s 150 CHF instead of 300 CHF.
