Still feels like a waste. But my spool was just taking up space.
I regret it, it was dozens of disks, and yet haven’t needed a CD since.
Although I do still use DVDs on occasion.

You’re missing how a bunch of their friends from their new social class already do drugs and how good those drugs feel.
Easy hole to fall into, but money honestly makes it harder to climb out of, you can always afford the drugs.
So it becomes the norm, whereas someone at the poverty line with an addiction can’t afford them regularly and has to spend grocery money on them and therefore might be addicted but also resents them.
Rich people can afford to normalize drugs and consider themselves fine while they’re on them, because they’re still living within their means.

Same. And then when I believed it was real, I still thought it was some throwaway game, because that’s not just a gimmick, it’s a silly one.
I agree that if its fun for people, have fun, but I never could take the game seriously while a bunch of anime characters and freaking Goofy. Couldn’t get into the story.

Honestly I think of bluejays and the rest of the family as crows, too. They’re the blue crows. Crows are true crows, but magpies and bluejays and all them are still crows, to me.
- Comment on Should Neutron Stars be Added to the Periodic Table? 1 month ago:
Clearly the gravity capacitors are aligned in such a way that in the case of gravity failure, the outer gravitronic shell fails first, causing the neutronium to evacuate safely in the direction of anyone else, while the inner shell maintains for a second or so longer, preventing an implosion.
That, and transporter shenanigans. They just beam up the neutronium before shutdown.
- Comment on Should Neutron Stars be Added to the Periodic Table? 1 month ago:
Well thats what the artificial gravity is for.
They also use it for walking and whatnot, of course, but that’s an add-on. The real purpose is so they can siphon off some neutron star stuff and hold it between them and an enemy without it exploding.

I agree, but that seems like about the level of detail a formula with no units would have.

If we hold the hunt in a single tall blade of grass we’ll need to fit a lot of eggs in there.
- Comment on Somebodys got a case of the Easter Mondays 1 month ago:
Area would help account for a really large yard, where you may want more eggs, or for a small one, where this calculation simply has too many eggs. So, egg density per square foot (or whatever unit they wanted).
Undergrowth size to me seems like its accounting for how many eggs simply aren’t found. If the grass is 6" long, you’ll want more eggs because they’ll not all be found.
This seems to fit especially because they’re added together, which means even a yard that was just dirt, no undergrowth, you’d get eggs from area alone. There’s a floor on it. If it were a separate multiple then no grass would mean no eggs.

Yeah same, OP’s was definitely a mistake. I think she’s just here for us two.
- Comment on Made one deadly slip 1 month ago:
Maybe the poster thought there was a countdown. Not this one though, so you’re absolutely right.
It works better when both gunners care about innocents. Imagine the ranger couldn’t find hits hideout, a big enough place it wasn’t easy, and Texas red didn’t wanna shoot up the place he was living.
The ranger might get a message saying a time and place, so they can meet without causing a bunch of damage or risking innocents.
Of course, the moustache-twirling sort of villains wouldn’t work with that at all. Just can’t trust them. But there’s plenty of room for this to make sense sometimes.
- Comment on At this point I think I would 1 month ago:
Pretty sure it’d fry the power supply. Thats my first bet, is that it wouldn’t even get through it.
If it did pass through, it could fry your electronics. A USB killer is a short pulse, and not at all strong compared to main, so I expect that it’d act more like if a neutral was floating, than an actual surge at the voltage a USB killer usually gets to.
No idea for sure though and I’m not an electrician.
- Comment on shrimp colour drama 1 month ago:
That’s neat.
It makes me wonder if your hearing is better than average or if your eyes are worse, making it not so clear-cut.
Do you need glasses, or have you ever had your hearing tested for whatever reason?
- Comment on shrimp colour drama 1 month ago:
You show that you are dominated by sight even as you say you aren’t.
Losing your hearing or touch would remove peripheral senses, yes, and certainly that would be unnerving, but think how much worse it would be to lose sight. Hearing wasn’t even a factor for you beyond your peripheral, because what you can see is so much clearer, so much more comprehensive, than what you can hear, that hearing is negligible where you have sight.
Hearing is a backup sense. Something you lean on when you don’t have sight, but its fidelity is poor enough in people that we rely nearly wholly on sight, when we can.
Losing that cone of vision impacts us far more than our hearing, although of course losing either is massively detrimental.

In addition to the joycons mentioned, they sell a standalone charger stand.
So they could sit next to the switch 2, on a dedicated stand.

Nah the direct didn’t claim 4k at 120.
You get 1080p at 120, or 4k at 60.

Scroll down a good amount, 79.99$ MSRP for Mario kart world. Thats not a guarantee they’ll all be 80$. The new donkey Kong is 70$. No official word on other games, though.

Some people still might not know.
Probably Mac users, but I hope I make someone one of today’s lucky 10,000.

Windows key. The graphic itself is what they used from windows 8-10.
Super key in Linux, command key in macOS.
- Comment on LAN (local area network) games 2 months ago:
You do need to forward the port in some routers.
Or connect via Ethernet cable and avoid the router, if possible.
But yeah, once any initial little hiccups are done, its actually very smooth, opening Minecraft takes longer.
Also that can turn on cheats in a world where cheats are disabled.
- Comment on LAN (local area network) games 2 months ago:
Yeah you play single player, pause, and hit “open to lan”
Then someone else can connect to lan by typing in the IP. I think it autodetects a lan connection that’s already open, too, but it’s been a bit since I’ve used it.

I feel like the leading “the” is what’s messing that up.
“Mitochondria are the powerhouse of the cell” sounds fine to me.
- Comment on The Simple Act of Buying a Graphics Card Is the Defining Misery of PC Gaming in 2025 2 months ago:
Well at one point to be a computer gamer you basically needed to put together your own desktop PC.
Integrated GPUs basically were only capable of displaying a desktop, not doing anything a game would need, and desktop CPUs didn’t integrate graphics at all, generally.
So computer-building knowledge was a given. If you were a PC gamer, you had a custom computer for the purpose.
As a result, even as integrated GPUs became better and more capable, the general crowd of gamers didn’t trust them, because it was common knowledge they sucked.
It’s a lot like how older people go “They didn’t teach you CURSIVE?” in schools nowadays. Being a gamer and being a PC builder are fully seperatable, now, but they learned PC building when they weren’t and therefore think you should have that, too.
It’s fine, don’t sweat it. You’re not missing out on anything, really, anyway. Especially given the current GPU situation, it’s never been a worse time to be a PC builder or enthusiast.

From the site:
Directing portions of proceeds to Luigi’s GiveSendgo defense fund
our products are not officially endorsed by Luigi Mangione, his representatives, or any associated entities.
So no, it’s not official.
They have some photos of donation receipts but there’s no amount, I haven’t made the effort to see if the IDs on them can be publicly traced to that.
Nowhere on the website does it say what portion of proceeds are donated.

Gotta open your biochem textbook again. On mine its page 394, so look around there, dunno your edition.
- Comment on Skyblivion - The Path to Release (Development Update) 5 months ago:
Its likely what we’d get would be a tool to create a normal mod. The tool checks for their requirements and when satisfied, rips oblivion files and repackages them.
So a clean skyrim installed to create the mod with the tool, but once the tool is done, you could remove the clean install and use it like any other mod.
This has been my experience with other “created from copyrighted works” overhauls, like rollercoaster tycoon for openrct2.
