Then, you should challenge him and make him set a deadline for when everything is supposed to be a lot cheaper. When people starts to get sidetracked from thinking critically, that’s when you need to make them set an ultimatum that either forces them to think critically, or make them set their own limit that you can then point back to later.

And so does the internal surface of a diamond.
- Comment on idijt 2 weeks ago:
By that logic, glass mirrors also work by refraction, because it refracts out of the glass before it reaches your eye.
- Comment on idijt 2 weeks ago:
Isn’t it caused by internal reflection? That, by definition, is what happens when the light doesn’t refract out of the diamond.
- Comment on idijt 2 weeks ago:
But isn’t their shine mostly due to the internal reflection rather than external refraction? That’s why the gems are cut angularly, to help with the internal reflection.

I feel like GTA is definitely more clunky than those two games. Might be because the animation feels wrong for some reason.

If there’s is a reason for making it that way, it’s not really dumb.

Yeah, no one plays GTA for the gameplay mechanics, they play them for the RP or the chaos, or both.

Part of the reason it shard to change the system is because of resistance from the waiters who make a lot of money from tips, so yes, not tipping does help change the system.

So you don’t get confused which outlet the switch turns off.

So the guy won’t have to complain about downvotes.
- Comment on This one is going to be controversial 3 weeks ago:
Rule of thumb. If you refuse to use sarcasm or joke tags, don’t complain when people take what you write seriously. It’s a gamble you have to take.

Slowly making their way does not equal moving slowly. It describes the time it takes to exit the sun, not the speed of the particle.

Candle fire does reflect light, that’s why it has a shadow.
- Comment on China's internet is upset that a knock-off of its darling video game, 'Black Myth: Wukong,' is listed on Nintendo's store 1 month ago:
So does that mean the original novel’s rights belong to the Ming dynasty?
- Comment on After years of holding out hope, 2024 was the year I finally gave up on BioWare 1 month ago:
Destroyed Sim City franchise, made The Sims 4 a DLC hellhole, made Mass Effect 3’s shitty ending, maybe the mishandling of Battlefield 2042 and Battlefield 5?
Other things I could think of is releasing Origin and pulling their games from the Steam store. Other than that, I don’t really follow gaming news enough to list more, nor know enough to determine if everything I already listed are caused by EA.

What is the copyright system like in the Ming dynasty, I wonder.
- Comment on Coffeezilla does a third part of his CS:GO gambling expose...where he squarely puts the blame on Valve 1 month ago:
Most of them don’t have a gambling scene, because most gacha games don’t allow you to trade the things you get from the gacha. Valve does and that’s what facilitates the online casinos that is based on CS2 skins.

In what world does Genshin runs well on a potato? Unless you have a different definition of potato than me. My Galaxy S10e can barely play the game, and it’s not even slow enough to be called a potato

I guess if he wrote “That’s irony right there”, it would be easier to consider it a complete sentence, so maybe you’re right.
- Comment on DNA 1 month ago:
I meant to say that part is already a complete sentence.
- Comment on DNA 1 month ago:
Isn’t the first mistake simply him using the sentence to declare there is irony? How is that an incomplete sentence?

42.1 km/s is relative to the sun’s surface, but launching from Earth’s surface. You need to look at the value labelled V_te, which is the speed relative to the minor body the object is launching from. In this case, it is 16.6 km/s.
- Comment on YEET 2 months ago:
94000mph is relative to the sun’s surface. Relative to the Earth’s surface, it is around 37000mph, which means they were still wrong.
- Comment on YEET 2 months ago:
The escape velocity for the solar system and from Earth’s surface should not be the same. This is why you should always double check anything ChatGPT says.
