unfortunately for them, it makes me buy less and it makes me more likely to choose somewhere else to shop

not allowed to use those in a store near me.
same store also got rid of baskets.
I really don’t know what they were thinking. I obviously just use my own bags, but like… tf?

- Comment on Do you cheat in games? 1 week ago:
totally understandable
it is one of my favourite games. I never think of it as being a game on which I have a high play time, but the stats show differently lol
- Comment on Do you cheat in games? 1 week ago:
if you like that type of game (base building, exploration, farming, survival, combat), I highly recommend giving it another try. I haven’t played it in a while, but if the modding scene was great a few years ago that I’m sure it’s just as good now.
I typically played with quality of life mods like material stacking (less time spent running back and forth moving items around), save games (death resets you to the start of the day, not deletes your world), and some food things to make the game less grindy and focused on resource management (food spoilage rates changed). the core mechanics of the game are all still there, but it’s much more friendly for the casual player who is looking to relax, allowing you to focus on the parts that are fun like building up to fight a giant and exploring.
IIRC mods are also very easy to install with the built-in mod configurator in the game — no need to use an external launcher or manually manage mods like with Minecraft

they suck on stroads, yes. they’re mostly fine in tight downtown areas alongside a single vehicle lane.
I think most people refer to physically separated bike paths that share the same road surface as bike lanes. personally, I don’t really like completely separate bike paths (around here, most commonly multi use paths), because they’re not actually designed as infrastructure, but as recreation, so connections and directness are poor.
but, yes, just tossing in a bike lane is not the proper solution, it’s a bandaid on the way to a complete infrastructure replan. and fuck you Ontario for blocking them and ripping them out

I remember when I first found reddit and ventured into game subs such as for Don’t Starve.
oh the shit I was given for using a save mod so that I didn’t lose my 300 hours of progress because I forgot to pause the game when leaving my desk for a few minutes. like fuck off, I play the game to have fun and relax, I don’t want to start a new world every time I die, I have a life and I don’t have time to put in a thousand hours to get good enough that I never make mistakes and can enjoy a long play world without stressing about permadeath. but boy did some people ever take personal offence to me not playing the game exactly how it was purchased and how they chose to.
- Comment on Do you cheat in games? 1 week ago:
no, that would defeat the purpose of multiplayer and competition
if you’re referring to modding a singleplayer game or consensually in a multiplayer one, then yeah I mod the fuck out of stuff. that’s fun.

- Comment on Desk jobs 1 week ago:
yep. I’m just tired of people not recognizing the very real dangers of desk jobs and long hours. look at any engineering department and you’ll see fat guys that can’t move, and seemingly healthy people with issues.
yes, we’re not about to cut our fingers off at our desk. but being at your desk for 50+ hours a week has real consequences on your body, that have very real effects on your life outside of work. and you need to know about that and handle it.
- Comment on Desk jobs 1 week ago:
sometimes, not always
I’ve found that people use “work from home” more often when they mean actual work. slightly more often. most people I know still use remote interchangeably for work from home.

my city has a native plant association that will ship you seeds for free, and has multiple free plant giveaways each year

I used to despise the thought of AI in the workplace doing my job for me
but after seeing what apparently above-average employees output… I understand why it seems appealing
ex: sent my coworker instructions that made note of particular things, and a template file with clearly documented instructions inside the file. they used the wrong template file, not the one I explicitly sent the filepath for. they asked me to review the file. I made note of the issues that cropped up because they didn’t follow the instructions. they asked me to do a final review. I noticed that some of their fixes to my notes did the opposite of what I asked, or were just ignored. like, yeah, AI can do just as well as that. but it can’t do it properly, and that’s what we need
- Comment on Surely they yearn for the mines 2 weeks ago:
turns out, a lot of manual labour tasks are too complex to automate easily. even if the work is repetitive and seems like it would be simple, there’s a lot of things that you can’t just stick a robot into and have it work
computer tasks, on the other hand… it’s a lot easier, and there’s much better training data, and the stakes are theoretically (and often in practice) lower.
now, as for WHY we’re not globally prioritizing automating the dangerous stuff completely, that’d be because money, I imagine

pickles, cucumbers, carrots, peppers. nice and crunchy, basically zero cal, they take some time to eat (unlike nuts that you can pop by the handful).
but yeah for shovelling, dry popcorn is a good option

yeah, we’ve had power and internet issues shut down the shop a handful of times
cancelling a meeting is meh, there’s often at least one more scheduled at the same time or one immediately following it. it’s hardly an afternoon off
- Comment on Electronic Arts to Cut 400 Jobs, Shut Down BioWare 2 weeks ago:
it’s dead as soon as leadership starts targeting acquisition. internal priorities change and it’s not on a quality product, it’s on pumping the numbers to look favourably regardless of truthfulness
or maybe I’m just bitter because I see this happening at my own workplace. we just launched a new website, and pretty much every claim about our culture and process and priorities is a lie. it used to be true. it hasn’t been in a couple years, and it sure as fuck isn’t right now.

sorry, bud. that’s the high power position on my stove
I’m not happy with it, either. but it’s what it is.
if it makes you feel any better, the front left is the large diameter position. similar power but not packed as densely, so doesn’t work on a 10" pan
