  Hell, a popcorn popper can roast beans if you want to get really cheap.

  I always thought of diablo as a Gauntlet clone

  Yeah, that’s the real answer. 500 responses vs how many sent out

  After that softball Apple intetview, it confirmed to me he’s just a safe space for tech interviews and reviews (if the price is right). I suspect that he extorts corps for favorable interviews and we can’t really trust him to be truthful.

  Just for that clickbait description, heres the quote:

  It might be a situation that never happens for some of them. But that’s unfortunately the price we have to pay for what happened. But I hope that, throughout the work that we are doing, throughout the things we are showing, we can actually win some of those people around – and when they hear someone talking to them about the incredible experiences they can have in, let’s say Phantom Liberty, or the next Witcher, next Cyberpunk, or next Hadar CD Projekt’s new IP, at the moment when they see there’s that incredible value in that game, they will actually reach out for it, play it and enjoy it. – Pawel Sasko

  It’s put into a semi truck trailer where other, many times heavier packages are most certainly placed on top of it. Those packages along with the beating it’ll take from the road that desperately need to never be paved with concrete as it goes cross country, it will take some dings. The only way to be sure it’s to make sure your package has adequate packing material.

  Otherwise your cardboard box will turn into a cardboard sack.

  Because it’s been so long since I’ve done any programming. I don’t remember syntax other than BASIC and I’m 80% sure my if statement is done incorrectly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Transformations⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If your package looks like that after shipping, you didn’t use enough packing material.

  Step 1: pack your box
  Step 2: close box then shake
       If contents of box rattle around
            add more packing material and repeat step 2
       else step 3
  Step 3: tape box on seams and apply shipping label on box but not on box seams

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨temperature⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This came up a week ago. I made a chart:

  Temps	easily relatable conditions
  <0	throw boiling water up in the air to make it snow
  0-10	dangerous freezing cold
  10-20	bitter freezing cold
  20-30	freezing cold
  30-40	coat cold
  50-60	jacket cool
  60-70	cool
  70-80	pleasant
  80-90	warm
  90-100	hot
  100-110	too damn hot for my fat ass/fry an egg outside

  One of the conclusions on why I like Fahrenheit over Celsius for weather is it’s ironically the most base 10 like for a non-SI scale. A phrase like “it’s going to be in the 70s today” has so much information in it. Usually with no weather changes like a front coming in, you’ll know that during the day it’ll be pleasant. At night the temperature range will drop by around 10 degrees and you’ll know you’ll likely need a light jacket or at least long sleeves to stay comfortable.

  If metric wanted to adopt a scale with more graduations that could be easily grouped to 10s, that’d be great. I don’t know why 0-100 was arbitrarily chosen to be the scale for water instead of 0-1000.

  For temp measurements outside of weather I really do prefer Celsius though.

  I know right? Old piece of hardware getting retired? It gets new life if I have something for it to do. I’m looking at my Brother HL-5170DN from 2006 that got tossed because the 2nd tray kept jamming. Guess who doesn’t need a 2nd tray and loves this printer?

  My first home server was a decommissioned small business server. Was a file server for a long time until the hard drives started to go.

  Sounds more like an incentive to put up solar panels and battery storage. Even if it isn’t enough to go off grid totally, you can at least store on cheap days.
