- Comment on How can I master Chess? 8 hours ago:
you have to play. There are chess websites where you play slow games, each player has like 3 days to make a move. The trick is to get about 20 of these games going. In this way you have a series of chess puzzles presented to you every day. And it can be really exciting to win a game that’s gone on for 3 months.

With competitive shitting, bowling, and darts, you could have a fat-man triathlon.

It’s sad to see a mod community impose the concept of IP on itself. But I can understand the frustration of seeing your project being shit on by slop holes.

opening the door won’t improve that situation very much.
- Comment on "Why should we just give up the entire month of November?" – The indie games going head to head with GTA 6 2 days ago:
There are plenty of gamers who are going to pass on GTA6, sure. But Rockstar is absolutely going to dominate the kind of gamer who pays full price on launch. Rockstar is going to vacuum up everyone who enjoys this type of game as well as anyone susceptible to FOMO or hype.

Hamburger helper is bullshit. They give you some dry noodles and a “spice” pack of dubious powder, you have to provide the beef and milk. That’s not helping very much.

Technical Collage isn’t quite as good, but it’s free if you live in State.

- Comment on Is this a medical device? 4 days ago:
Lots of cases, the throat is destroyed by a tumor, or the surgery to remove the tumor. These people may have to wear these for weeks for recovery or permanently. (permanent patients will likely have a similar port in their belly to pump Ensure into their stomach)
The most common cause is smoking of course. I’ve seen half a dozen people smoke through their trach.
- Comment on Is gender affirming care for cis people a thing? 5 days ago:
Yea. Most cosmetic procedures would count. I don’t see how a woman getting breast implants is one iota different than a trans woman getting top surgery.

To be fair, Canada is looking to “join” the EU, Turkey is already a member. What is Europe anyway?
- Comment on Realistically, what do people plan to do on the Moon and Mars that requires a permanent, or long term human presence there? 6 days ago:
First, there is a school of thought that says that the planet is ultimately doomed, and if we want to survive as a species, we need to get off of it.
I’ve just never understood this mentality. Terraforming Mars to escape climate change is as dumb as a bag of hammers. As far as cosmic catastrophes go, most of the stuff that’d kill Earth will get Mars and the Moon too.
And if you’ve got ambitions outside the Solar system, then planetary engineering becomes a trivial problem by comparison.
I think that “we’ve got to leave Earth or we’re going to die!” tacitly admits that there are few good reasons to do it.

Even in my head, the name Bobby Kotick is spoken in the voice of Stephanie Sterling.

You just have to wait until they go away. Couple of weeks is what I was told and close to what I experienced.

Most of those wall-warts are reducing everything down to like 3volts. Compared to the suspicious extension chords/ power strips I’ve seen all energized with full 120v main power this is safe.

- Comment on I’m philosphying. You should philosophying too. 3 weeks ago:
In undergrad philosophy, most exams are simply headshots of famous philosophers that the students have to identify. In post-graduate studies, they use the picture of Nietzsche when he’s shaved.

It’s a myth that Congress gets this many days off. They work very hard begging for money and making promises.

The interesting question is how does the pitcher hit themselves? Throw the ball around the world? Portal gun?

A fun fact about the famous picture of Thich Quang Duc immolating himself in Vietnam in 1963 is that Duc was not protesting the Vietnam war but instead the Buddhist oppression by the Catholic minority that controlled the government.

This mayor is a fool for thinking his flag-staffs are important. Getting outraged over this makes the same mistake.
