Make it look like an old-timey log mill with the fan as the saw blade.

I always love the “explaining dnd stats with a tomato” bit:
Strength is being able to throw a tomato really far. Dexterity is being able to catch the tomato thrown really far. Constitution is being fine after eating a bad tomato. Intelligence is knowing a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is knowing a tomato doesn’t go in fruit salad. Charisma is being able to sell a tomato based fruit salad.
Also, obligatory “salsa is tomato in a fruit salad”.

Okay but what happened in 1989 when it was 1% lower?

Sounds like your college experience and mine were slightly different. :/ You’re probably healthier for it.

wtf even is Birdeye? Our work e-mails have all been being spammed by them claiming we have bad reviews and they can help. I’ve been ignoring them mostly, but noticed the text of the reviews reek of being AI written and none of them show up on any of the review sites (that we keep track of anyway). Is this some LLM spam company basically?

This looks like some shit i’d build in the first night in minecraft when i run out of stair blocks.
- Comment on What do you personally use AI for? 3 weeks ago:
Ttrpg character art via midjourney. That’s I think the only thing I’ve ever used.
- Comment on Amazon's Fallout TV Series Renewed For Season 2 4 weeks ago:
I took that as like a kid who grew up reading car magazines, but if you threw them behind the wheel would have no real idea what they are doing. I’m thinking of it kind of like fallout 3 where it won’t even let you wear the armor until you find someone willing to give you “power armor training”. Something something “if you don’t know what you’re doing, the armor will snap your bones”.
Also, as someone else said, Maximus is clearly a low-int build, so even if he’s read it, he didn’t retain all of it, lol.

lol, yea. Ghoul has levelled up a few times so he is more of a bullet sponge than random NPCs :)

I feel like the vault stuff was explained pretty decently. Hank mentions telegrams back and forth and that it was a regular exchange (triennial I think? So every 3 years?). And, without giving anything away, the raiders intricately knew what they were doing so it makes some sense they’d be able to fake it well enough.
The ghoul VS power armor fight did require a significant suspension of disbelief, but two main characters fighting in like episode 1 or 2 (can’t remember), they can’t exactly kill one of them off. I guess you could complain they wrote themselves into a corner though, which could have been avoided.
Ultimately I enjoyed it, I’m just not sure I enjoyed it enough to recommend to people, especially people that don’t already have a significant love for fallout.

- Comment on I have unlimited cellular data on my phone but not if I use it as a hotspot. 1 month ago:
Except there is not a physical commodity or production at the other end of which they are supplying me a portion of a finite amount. If they “pipe” is big enough to supply what is promised to every end user it is supplied to, the water company or power company can still run out of water or power if one person uses a ridiculous amount. The ISP can’t run out of “data”, they aren’t even supplying it - it comes from a host. The ISP is just responsible for running the cables, or “connecting the pipes”.
The ISPs loves using the comparison to water or power, because you get charged more for using more of either and that is how they have convinced lawmakers (who are so old and out of touch they have no idea how the internet works) that using more data should cost more. They’ve convinced our lawmakers basically that they have a big “tank full of data” and if I use too much, there wont’ be any for my neighbors.
The truth is they are selling me something they can’t provide - a 250Gbps “pipe” that can’t actually supply 250Gbps if everyone they sold it to wants to use it at the same time. They sell the same pipe to the whole neighborhood and blame the neighborhood when they try to use what they were told they bought.

- Comment on it always interesting when multi billion dollar company's costing system is a 63 tab excel 97 spreadsheet at it's core... 4 months ago:
Probably, but the message said if the company didn’t pay the data would be “auctioned off on the dark web.”…
I dunno the liklihood of that actually happening but I don’t see why it wouldn’t be possible… After all, they have the key to decrypt it and no reason to assume they didn’t also have the files… Something was hitting cpu and network usage to 100% for several days across several locations… It was a bad time. It’s probably more likely a feint to just install crypto bs on servers while IT is distracted, but still I have no reason to believe it wasn’t possible.

Our hr had an unsecured excel file with every employees private personal information like emergency contacts, address, social security number, etc… And it got “got” by a ransomware attack because people still open email attachments blindly…

- Comment on 505 Games' parent company lays off 30% of its workforce, says gamers really only want sequels so that's what it's going to make 5 months ago:
My only quibble with this is that I’m not sure I’d classify larian as a AAA studio. Not when you’re comparing to Activision or Bethesda or something. The game is absolutely amazing, I’ve put over 700 hours in and am still playing it. I can’t think of any of the big AAA studios releasing a game that comes close anytime in the last decade.
- Comment on Youtube is allowing Youtubers to advertise their merch even for premium users 6 months ago:
Being “higher than ad revenue” on YouTube is a stupidly low bar. Ad revenue for videos has been plummeting like a rock for years. That’s why basically every big channel now either has merch, patron, or paid sponsorships / ads recorded by the creator as part of the video completely unrelated to YouTube.

Those vids are highly entertaining. He has also taught me that a lot of padlocks can be opened just by smacking them, which is fun to watch.
- Comment on I have an apartment where the dumpster is a car's drive away, and taking trash down involves 4 staircases. What is the best way to ameliorate this situation? 8 months ago:
Or zip line to your trunk and then drive it to the dumpster. Afraid to say I have in fact done this… Long rope one end tied to balcony support and the other on the support arm for the trunk then tied bags together in pairs and sent them down riding a wash cloth (i was worried friction would tear through the bags…). Then walk down and load it in the trunk, untie the car and drove it to the dumpsters like 1/4 mile away.
I did it in the middle of the night, less witnesses.

- Comment on Who is the one movie/comic supervillian you all agree with ? 9 months ago:
I think Thanos had the right motives and goal (in the movies - I havnt read any comics) but his plan to get there wasn’t great. Even assuming removing half of the consuming population is the best solution available (if you can completely alter all of reality why not just make more or infinite resources?), his plan to just randomly select half the population, delete them, and leave them in their loved ones memories is overtly torturous and malicious to everyone in society. He could have taken more care in the selection process instead of just taking at random, or he could have altered people’s memories so they didn’t feel the loss.
