The whole “sex object” complaint never made sense to me tbh. Like I’ve always wanted “sex object” to be a part of my identity. It’s great for non-sexual stuff to be appreciated, but I’d want my partner to just be horny for me at least for a portion of the time.

Most of the danger is on the pulling out side, so it makes more sense to do the harder ones for the safer part. Plus, when you’re parking, it’s easier for others to predict what you’re doing, whereas pulling out gives more opportunity for someone walking by the line of cars to be surprised. If you’re pulling out forwards, it’s trivial to see someone about to walk in your path. If you’re backing out, you might not even be able to see someone who is 1s away from stepping in your path, especially if they are coming from your blind side.

And the AIs that generated the images won’t give a shit at being called out when they are right, but the artists affected when they are wrong makes me wonder if they really do give a shit about the artists.

And if you absolutely must play one of their games, buy used console games, with the added bonus of keeping their kernel anti cheat shit off your PC.
- Comment on Modern game dev got explaining to do 1 week ago:
Go back even farther and you’ll get to a point where entire games were written in assembly and assets might been written with a hex editor (and even that description might be higher level than what they actually did).
My dad had a computer class in high school that involved filling in ordered punch cards and then they’d send them off to a university to run them on their mainframe and they’d send the output punch cards back. That wouldn’t have even been assembly, it would have been machine code, though they probably marked the punch cards to be easier to remember what bits meant what. But it would take like a week to find out there was a mistake in the code.
Sounds crazy from where we are today, but that’s all they had at the time. If you wanted to do something awesome, you could either give up, invent a better way, or just buckle down and do it the hard way.

That’s no longer accurate, as there are plenty of authentic Chinese restaurants in areas with Chinese communities that aren’t just trying to get western locals to visit. The dim sum place I’ve been to didn’t even have much English on their menu and it really helped to have some colleagues present who knew Chinese (both the language and the food).
Easily one of the best meals I’ve ever had, and I’m not usually a fan of the western chinese style.
- Comment on It's all SO simple! 1 week ago:
That’s just one approach to addiction. Personally, I think it assumes people are weak with no self-control, which seems to be exactly the argument you’re making.
The emphasis on abstinence and any exposure at all being a failure might even make binging more likely if someone gives in just a little, as their counter is now reset, so might as well take advantage.
And the obsession/fascination with the addiction target continues or even gets ramped up.
I like the moderation approach a lot better. I don’t binge drink every weekend anymore, but if I do feel like having a drink every now and then, I just do instead of spiraling because I need to treat it like some sort of personal failure.

Just make sure you have permission from the leg’s owner first or things can get complicated legally.

One difference that I’m aware of is we were using bone needles at that point to make more advanced clothing, which would have helped in an ice age.
- Comment on McDonald’s CEO’s awkward taste test sparks mocking online: ‘His aura screams kale salad’ 1 week ago:
Yeah, it’s all about a) whether microbes can get to it, b) whether microbes can survive on it, and c) whether microbes can thrive on it. If the answer to any of those is no, then it won’t decompose.
If it just relies on a, then opening it starts its countdown.
If it just relies on b, then it won’t rot but the preservatives might be an issue for us, too. Though it could rot eventually if circumstances change (like it gets soaked with clean water or if the preservatives break down over time).
If it just relies on c, then it might just be waiting for some moisture for an existing colony to take off, but it’ll just sit until then.
Eggs are a and maybe a bit of b mixed in. You don’t even need to refridgerate eggs if they weren’t washed like they do for commercially available ones (at least in north america, dunno about elsewhere). Not that unwashed eggs are necessarily better, as they can have bacteria on the outside of the shell from things like chicken shit.
Once I understood the role moisture plays, I stopped using a lid on my garbage so that it would dry out and stink less. It works unless I’m thowing out a bunch of fish guts or something that stores/traps moisture well, and even then, the stink isn’t as bad.
- Comment on Highguard will permanently shut down on March 12th. 1 week ago:
Gambling, pretty much. They go all in on a bet that it will explode and make tons of money, take out loans based on that expectation, setting themselves in a position where either it is a major success or it is an utter failure, no in between.
The gaming market is so saturated these days that it’s kinda baffling this approach is still being taken. Like I hadn’t even heard of this game before this.
- Comment on Just one more square bro 1 week ago:
Yeah, there’s a lot of unused space there. Or just look at the gap in the middle of that row of 4. A slightly smaller square could have fit a 5x5, even.
It’s a novelty, not an optimization.
- Comment on McDonald’s CEO’s awkward taste test sparks mocking online: ‘His aura screams kale salad’ 1 week ago:
There’s a lot of food that won’t rot if left out to dry.
Not that McDonald’s is any good, just that that particular experiment was flawed because there was no control showing that other food left out in similar circumstances would have decomposed more (and even then, decent burger patties make McDonald’s’ look like jokes; “thick and juicy” is more likely to decompose than thin and whatever you’d call the moisture level in a McDonald’s burger).

- Comment on Forbidden Fruit 1 week ago:
I bet it at least ended that way.
They died out during the last ice age when one of the big differences from previous ones they survived was the presence of homo sapiens.
I’m guessing it was from a combination of lack of space, raids, and integration (willing or not).
We (who carry it) have a small amount of Neanderthal DNA, but it’s not the same DNA for all of us, it’s pretty diverse, so cross breeding events between us weren’t limited to just a few times.
- Comment on The Hole 1 week ago:
Similarly, snow piles can be dangerous. Like the kind made by machines clearing parking lots that kids love to play on. Depending on how packed it is, there could be gaps a kid could fall in and get stuck, plus kids scream when they are having fun, so many adults might just filter out the sound of child screaming.
The ones at schools might be specifically made with kids playing on them in mind, but I doubt that’s the case for ones in random parking lots, though maybe I’m just underestimating typical snow plough training.

Because they were able to survive without doing it.
Though iirc some birds of prey do the sky version of this. Or maybe the cliff version.

Try a thai curry, seafood if you like it, or pork or veggie. So flavorful.
Other suggestions: pho, French onion soup, bouillabaise.
- Comment on Game over 2 weeks ago:
Or warn people if you forget. “If you find a leaf, don’t eat it. It’s for flavour, but not pleasant to eat on its own.” Texture isn’t great either iirc (but I could be wrong, as I was a kid the last time I tried eating one).
- Comment on Game over 2 weeks ago:
Just smell it (not just bay leaves but whatever). If it has a smell, that aroma can be infused into cooking, though you’ll want to make sure it’s edible before just throwing it into dishes.
And you might need to sauté them for a bit (also called tempering) to infuse that aroma into oil, since it’s not all water soluable.

Must be 1948, which makes sense because that was before restarting the computer was invented, so if it crashed the only option was to put it out of its misery and get a new one. They had them in vending machines for $3.50.

Anyone wanna take the bet that this guy secretly hopes it does, using himself as one example and that it means another common friend of an openly gay friend that OP is crushing on is also secretly in the closet?
It just feels like there’s some layers of denial involved in this question for them to even wonder it.

I’ve written a microkernel for an embedded device before and enjoy that kind of thing. I haven’t had to use any of my kernel experience in the year or so I’ve been on linux.
My linux install (Fedora) took a while because I was reading up on a bunch of the options instead of just taking the defaults. Ended up mostly just using the defaults and the ones I did change, I kinda regret because the snapshots that I wanted to save disk space by avoiding would probably come in handy if I break something and don’t know how to fix it.
