An algorithm, among the many other things they ruin
What a joke! How about talking about the good things algorithms do, like everything a computer does?

I assure you I’m not trolling. I understand what you’re saying, I just find your confusion … confusing.
It’s no worry though, I guess we just have such different ways to see the world and things that we can’t reconcile them. :)

I agree. This is a bizarre exchange. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
- Comment on People who order "a decaff coffee with an extra shot" - why? 10 months ago:
How do you think coffee is made? You infuse water with coffee beans, normally ground. How strong your coffee is depends on the concentration of actual coffee vs. the “base” (water). It’s the same with tea.
Black coffee can be an espresso, or something with more water. Generally speaking, an espresso is more concentrated (and thus stronger) than an Americano.
A 300ml Americano with 1 shot of espresso has a certain coffe-to-water ratio. A 300ml Americano with 2 shots of espresso will have 2x as much coffee content despite it having the same volume.
In any case, an Espresso is mostly water, even the strongest, tinture-level ones. It’s made by literally passing hot water through the beans so the water gets infused with coffee oils and alkaloids. It’s mostly water. In fact, it’s nearly all water.

Black coffee is still mostly water. Also, if you add water to whatever you call black coffee, it’s still black coffee, because it’s mostly water.

this all assumes it’s going to be mixed with some “base”, like milk or water
As opposed to what? Dry crushed/ground coffee beans?

He’s 83. Definitely old but I wouldn’t write him off anytime soon.

Strange New Worlds has been quite good tbh.
Picard has its moments as well. It’s more valuable as a TNG revival than as a whole new ST work but it’s not bad, especially the last season.
Discovery is one of the worst sci-fi ever produced though, so definitely stay away from it.

“Meet Hanako at Embers” haunted me for weeks until I finally mustered the strength to take the plunge.

Genuinely curious but how are they screwing over the publishers?
I’m especially curious how that can be true along with the seemingly contradictory conclusion you came to in your last sentence.

Don’t get me wrong, you’re right that this is bad but I’d think the blackmailing alone would make them scummy.

The game we should have had at launch is one where my >100h save wouldn’t make it crash on load.

Funnily enough, this is the first time a game’s NG+ actual felt compelling to me with how it’s actually part of the story and the workings of the universe.

Laughing, but just in the pauses between each ad you’re reading or dismissing, I imagine.

It’s not. Most interplanetary travel can be done without leaving the cockpit screen. Activate the scanner, point at your destination, press A, then X.

Sorry, not sure I was clear. 😅
Proton is Valve’s fork of Wine. I meant that I think Valve contribute patches back to upstream Wine as well.

Proton is a fork of Wine with some patches specifically for games. I think Valve contribute the patches back as well but I could be wrong.
