- Comment on They have already decided to promote an existing employee. But play the "search" game and screw you 6 hours ago:
I literally saw a job on LinkedIn that started with “Must have 30+ years experience…”, then gave a highly specific laundry list of requirements and was only open for 3 days. It was obvious that was a mandated post for an internal promotion they were doing.
- Comment on Sword Art Online being a primarily single player series 1 day ago:
Frankly I’ve never liked the idea of guilds. Why do I need to be tied to one group? I’d prefer to come and go among different ones as I see fit.

How hard is the bite of a turtle? I know it varies between type, but let’s take a more common one like a Red Eared Slider.

Probably do something stupid like individual bit fields for every possibility instead of a bit string. Or having it i a json wrapper for every single variable and combination, without any compression.
Thoguh save states in general grow more complicated as games become more complicated too. Think about early games, all you needed to track was… what level you were on, number of lives, and maybe a list of weapons.
Now you need things like the time of day in game, the weather, what interactions with other npcs you’ve had, multiple stats on every character in your party including customized outfits and accessories, etc. and just like the games themselves, they’re probably not using pointers but actual data too sometimes, which sucks.
- Comment on May not buff out 5 days ago:
Incidentally that’s a German car that’s sold worldwide with that feature. Japanese, American, Chinese, British and other cars have that feature too.
- Comment on May not buff out 6 days ago:
That _was_na BMW M440i (i recognize the wheels, color and slope of the back). It has a 386hp/398lb-ft turbocharged inline 6 with a mild hybrid system. BMW says it can do 0-60 in 4.3s, but independent tests have shown it can do 3.9-4.1s
Most likely this idiot used launch control in the parking structure wanting to show off and lost control, eating the pillar
- Comment on Brexit isn’t working: British voters are ready for a European future – European Council on Foreign Relations 1 week ago:
I have a feeling there’s going to be two non-starters which the EU will make non-negotiable: conversion to the Euro and freedom of movement (a.la. Schengen Zone).
I would hope if the UK wants it bad enough, they’ll understand the need to integrate, but I have a feeling there’s a large group of rejoiners who are thinking “it’ll go back to the way it was, sweetheart deals and all!”

Pads usually mean they don’t have a service elevator and are moving stuff between floors or are doing construction.

If ground bugs were just as tasty I’d eat them too.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
I’d love to know the “why” behind this. It almost looks like floors 28-40 were added afterwards, but you don’t just “add” floors to an elevator like you could stairs.
The other thing would be maybe that there are multiple shafts in the bank but only this specific elevator visits 28-40 and they had to add it in after the fact?

Most cones like that taste more like paper than anything, so it probably wouldn’t taste bad at all.

I live near a sanctioned place like you want and people still bitch about them. “But my little woofie!”, lady the city has used this spot for 40+ years, you moved in 3 months ago. Not their fault.

- Comment on GTA 6 Price Finally Confirmed, Features a 'Single-Player Experience' at Launch 2 weeks ago:
“Features a ‘Single Player Experience’ at launch”
wtf does that even mean. Was there a possibility it would be launched without the story or campaign? If so, that implies that online was their primary target and they just threw a story in there to prevent people from hating it.
Also why is it a “single player experience” and not, oh you know, the game itself. Sadly that phrasing uses enough weasel words that it makes me think that Online is the first-class citizen and the story is just a tacked on afterthought.
Needless to say I’m waiting for the game to come out and some further reviews before committing to anything.

I’ll wait for a trainer to come out. Love that I can do that and import GTA:O assets into the single player mode.
- Comment on Why can't I apply SPF50 sunscreen twice to get SPF100 protection? 2 weeks ago:
Think of the visible spectrum of light. If you were to mix a 30% shade of white with a 30% shade of white, you get…. A 30% shade of white.
Now just switch that coloring to the UV end of the spectrum and it’s the same thing. You’re not layering it realistically, you’re basically just mixing it together and the result is still the same “color” you started with.

I know this is a more serious post, but I seriously kept looking at the thumbnail before reading the headline and asking myself “is that what Hanson looks like now that they’re grown up?”
- Comment on Trick question 3 weeks ago:
The natives struck a deal with the US
Deals under duress are no deals at all. Ever read about the Trail of Tears. Tell me now that was a deal that was in good faith by both sides.
Sounds like you just like the idea of killing people.
- Comment on Trick question 3 weeks ago:
There’s idealistic and then there’s pragmatic. Following that logic, what are you going to do about lands stolen from Native Americans, or anything as a result of colonialism? “Give them back!” you say. Which may be done idealistically, but in the US for example, where does the other population of 330 Million people go?
You’re basically advocating for genocide in a different way with a different winner. That’s not a sustainable or realistic outcome.
- Comment on Wizard Kitty 3 weeks ago:
Sounds like an interesting DND mechanic. A Wizard with an iPad to keep track of all of his spells. And running into a magical “network” of sorts he can add new spells to his tablet.
- Comment on Trick question 3 weeks ago:
Look, you’re not going to get perfect, and if you can figure it out, I have a Nobel Peace Prize for you. But at least something that is causing the loss of more land and the genocide of their people is a hell of a better place to be.
- Comment on Trick question 3 weeks ago:
That one is so easy to get around. “I support the rights of Palestinians to be able to live peacefully and recognize the borders as defined by the UN charter. I do not agree with the ethnic cleansing that they are being subject to”
Never mentioned Israel by name. Never mentioned Palestine Action.
