Even DDR4 went from ~50€/2x16gb module to 180€ - utterly insane

I’m living in Vienna, having grown up in this city. I can assure you that while the city has grown, it actually put a lot of effort into primarily increasing population density instead of growing into the countryside (well, they have expanded too, but not by much in comparison to the population growth). The extra heat does not come from more concrete here - Vienna is one of the greenest large cities in Europe, and with lots of forest surrounding the west and the river going through it is a pretty privileged situation overall. Also, this year for example i can count the amount of days below 0°C on one hand - i haven’t seen ice in any meaningful amount. All together i’d say our temperature window has shifted by around 10°C upwards since the late 80.

i’m mid 40s in central europe and can clearly remember that summers were around 32°C max in my childhood, last 2 years we had 40°C. I can remember winter being a lot colder, regulary freezing the Danube river for extended periods, allowing skating - these times it’s a bad idea stepping on the thin ice that never freezes over completely. And i can clearly remember huge amounts of insects, making a mess of the windshield when driving - nowadays the windshield nearly stays clean. The boomers are lying to themselves, because the truth is too hard to acknowledge.

1 and 3 do look fixable if they can reconnect enough blood vessels fast enough before the tissue dies, depends on how fast they got to the hospital
- Comment on 94.3° F 1 week ago:
Human external skin temp is around 32°C on the hands, so i’d say 34,6°C for the cats butthole sounds about right

A bit of selfresponsibility would help both sides tho - if you browse /all, you get /all, so instead of downvoting stuff you are not subscribed to and where you might be missing the context of the community, it would be best for you and the others to just filter the community instead of downvoting every single time.

Well Heroic Launcher works fine for my GOG Library, so that’s not so much of an issue for me. What i miss much more is Playnite, which integrated pretty much everything from steam to GOG, Epic, Amazon and Emulators for pretty much everything.

Life never stops amazing me, even if some things come out of the mind of a author of b-horror movie scripts.
- Comment on GOG is Getting Acquired By Its Original Co- Founder: What It Means For You 1 week ago:
I think Gog is more popular then ever, because people start recognizing that buying from GOG is like buying organic produce and has it’s worth - they are in a pretty good market position with this image, and i fully believe them when they write that “[they] have seen more enthusiasm from gamers towards [their] mission than ever before”.

It’s definitely good for people who struggle with a wide array of mental health issues, and is good prophylaxis against the same.
- Comment on Does playing audio at a high volume bluetooth wirelessly use more phone battery power than lower volume or are equidraining? 2 weeks ago:
Yup, in this case the phone sends out an analog signal, and must increase the amplitude of the signal to increase the volume, which needs more energy.
- Comment on Is there a point we can track down when we stopped caring about doctors, nurses, teacher, etc? And thought it was a great idea to pay atheletes millions and screw everyone else? 2 weeks ago:
And the overwhelming majority of athletes do not earn well. It’s only the top 1% that gets rich, and only those in sports with a lot of public appeal.

I was gonna say that! The pirated version has no Launchers, no Eulas and no accounts at all. Add it as non-steam game, if you want the entry to look nice go to https://www.steamgriddb.com/boop and follow instructions.

- Comment on Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of November December 21st 2 weeks ago:
I am currently playing Witchfire, a Early Access purely single player 3d Shooter with randomized elements and a touch of dark souls and extraction shooter.
You play as a Preyer, an undead anointed by the Pope to hunt Witches in a war where the Church is on the losing end. The levels themselves are static, but the placement and types of monsters, treasures and so on is randomized - they change if you level up, meaning as long as you don’t do that, you can try mastering a specific stage. Dying is a lot like Dark Souls - You get one chance at a corpse run, but only your last death is recoverable. (It’s nice that even in death you keep progression-related items you picked up tho)
I’m really having fun, the game has an excellent atmosphere. I read a part of their dev team are ex-Painkiller devs, and you can feel that movement & combat wise.

well the only one suspect here is the “Former Child” which has absolutely no prerequisite except surviving childhood. The other three had to at least watch memes and/or porn, although it would take active research to become an historian in both.

If Valve would want to do that, they could have done so years ago. To the contrary, there are more stores where you can buy games online then ever before (Epic, Windows Store, GOG, Itch.io, Fanatical, Humble and so on, with steam keys and without), and i haven’t heard of a single aqcuisition by Valve yet.

And being someone who likes following all the rules as a cop in the US will just set you up to get wrecked by all sides, fellow cops (because you won’t let it slide), your bosses (because you cause trouble they don’t even want to know about) AND the general public (because your cop buddies behave like they do and you are on their team)

i think most 11 y.o. are smart enough to realize that there is something wrong (apart from his mother missing). Might take a while to realize the full extent of the situation, but that’s a sure fire way to make sure dad dies alone, and he deserves it.

Be honest before inviting them, that if they behave that way they should stay away. Any suicidal ideation should be discussed with their psychiatrist. There is no shame in cutting ties with toxic people.

Where does this notion that oil&gas are dead dinosaurs come from? I know what you said is the truth, just as coal is the remainder of the huge forests that existed before bacteria could break down cellulose, but i would really like to know where this wrong factoid comes from - it’s literally everywhere

You had a crap therapist too if i may say so. I’m sorry that happened and happy that you are in a better place now!
I worked in costumer service for many years and was yelled at a lot, just like you. You know what my therapist said?
He said (paraphrased): “I can’t understand how these people dare treat another human being like that. Your anger about what happened is completely justified. Lets work on what we can do to improve your situation.”
We talked a lot about how to distance yourself from the situation while it happens, to not be afraid to tell people to stop yelling if that doesn’t work, rationalizing fears related to job loss, healthy ways to express aggression to vent without hurting yourself. That’s what a therapist should do, not tell you to grow a thicker hide (that is what will kill you in the long run if you are so detached from your feelings that you get completely overwhelmed if that fails even once).
I agree with @sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works that in the long run UBI will be needed to help with that - the way it goes currently means sooner or later there will be more people without jobs than with jobs, and if we don’t want the guillotines to come up (we are well on the way to that, since it becomes more and more mainstream to openly talk about stuff like that), it will be necessary to ensure a worthwhile life for the people who are not needed in classic jobs to create value, so they can create whatever they want without fear.
