Now I’m no apocalypse expert, but I feel like a knife taped to some rebar doesn’t make for a very viable arrow, or at least not one that the pictured bow could fire

Edit: is that a curtain tassle they’ve used for fletching?

I can’t comment on the other things, but the skull is obvious - it’s for drinking, and the top half functions like a lid you can flap on and off, like a German beer stein.

I doubt the oligarchs really want a civil war. A civil war would shrink their labor force.

Old Bay is not bad in desserts in general. I made Brian David Gilbert’s old bay ice cream and it was actually quite nice. Definitely not something for the masses, or something I’d have super regularly, but if you’re looking to spice things up in your homemade ice creams, Old Bay is a pretty good way to go.

Just don’t go over 14 billions, it would be complete nonsense.

Actually, the more data we get from JWST, the more evidence we get that the universe is older than 14 billion years. Some estimates have it in the 25 - 30 billion year range.

It looks more MOBA than shooter though. I think it’ll be closer to Smite than Overwatch

Yeah honestly aside from the poor broccoli that got boiled to death, most of those plates look decent.

Just like any software design principle, it’s understood at a surface level by tons of bad developers who then try and solve every problem with that one principle. Then slightly better developers come along and say “ugh this is gross, OOP is bad!” And then they avoid the principle at all costs and tell everyone how bad it is at every opportunity.

I still haven’t even started Kingdom Hearts 3 (I know, I know), which I pre-ordered before I even owned a PS4 (I know, I know). And now it’s looking like I’ll be able to play that on PC before playing it on the console I bought specifically for it. I can wait these fuckers out for decades if I have to.

Neither me nor my sister really want kids, but my parents want to be grandparents. Makes for some awkward family dinners

Socialism wouldn’t pay you to do science, but it would give you a universal basic income, so you could do science without needing to be paid if you wanted

My friend didn't have a great experience with Linux

I have been daily driving Linux for over two years now and I have switched distros many times. So, when my friend bought a new laptop, I convinced him to install Linux Mint on it. I asked him if he wanted to dual boot, he said no because it would fill up all his storage. We installed Linux Mint. The other day, he wanted to play...

zalgotext ,

Sounds like he doesn’t want to spend his time tinkering, but playing.

Ehhh, I feel like this person is a tinkerer, it’s just the things they wanna tinker with don’t play nice with Linux.

Installing a modded version of Minecraft indicates a desire to tinker. Roblox is a game based around the concept of tinkering. EA games (especially ones from 7 years ago) require some level of tinkering even in Windows.

anything we can do to push gaming into Linux would help it to become a better everyday OS

I feel like the SteamDeck and SteamOS have already done more for Linux gaming than ChromeOS ever had the potential for.

My favorite thing about this is I was using Hangouts for SMS messaging for like two years after they said they’d stop supporting it. I don’t know if I just got lucky and someone forgot to turn off a server somewhere or what, but even their inconsistency is inconsistent.

I get so many cloudflare captchas browsing on Firefox. They mostly go away when I change my user agent string to Chrome. Making the Internet more hostile for a particular group of users is pretty shitty behavior in my book.

That can’t be a coincidence, this has to be a troll post

Ah thank you, that makes sense. I misread/misinterpreted that.

I really do think term limits are a better solution than a hard age cap. Term limits would help address the age issue, and it would also make “career politician” a less viable career. That’s a bigger problem imo - politicians doing politics for profit, as a career, rather than as a civic duty. That’s a big part of why we have younger Republicans like MTG, Lauren Boebert, JD Vance, etc. whom a hard age cap would not effect for another couple decades at least.

maple syrup for egg washes

Holy shit that sounds awesome. And not just as a replacement for egg wash, a maple syrup wash sounds incredible just on it’s own merits

The term “hallucination” has been used for years in AI/ML academia. I reading about AI hallucinations ten years ago when I was in college. The term was originally coined by researchers and mathematicians, not the snake oil salesman pushing AI today.

Kefir or my personal favorite, yogurt flavored Milkis

I only get my Milkis from the most authentic sources - from a GS25 in Hongdae at 3am, stumbling in after several drinks and a pack of long island iced tea cigarettes smoked in the club, paired with a bulgogi kimbap

and who will till the soil, weed, fight pests, harvest, etc.

In the case of a home garden, the homeowners, just like it’s expected for a homeowner to care for all the other plants on their property.

In the case of an allotment/community garden, community members would provide the labor. That’s how they currently work.

I mean I get it. I’m a rich white person with a lot of leisure time and I own property where I can have a garden… but turns out not everyone has this stuff.

I’m confused what the problem is - just because you know some people that wouldn’t benefit from a home garden subsidy, doesn’t make it a bad idea, if it encourages more people to grow food at home. It’s not a one-size-fits-all solution to be sure, but it is a solution that would work for some, with little to no downside that I can conceive of.

Also the whole “you need a lot of land if you want to garden” thing is kind of a myth. You can do a surprising amount in containers, with vertical systems, or even indoors with grow lights or hydroponics these days.

Edit to address your edit:

Gardening is great. But jerking myself off and generalizing and saying everyone else should be doing what i have the luxury to do… just makes me a smug self-righteous ass. People buy food from stores because it’s convenient and fast.

I don’t think anyone’s saying “everyone should garden”, just “more people should garden”. The original suggestion we’re discussing was to subsidize gardening, which would help reduce the barrier to entry and make it a more attractive option. Option being the keyword there - subsidizing something doesn’t mean everyone has to do it, and it certainly isn’t an attempt to belittle or shame anyone that can’t or doesn’t want to garden.

The cutscenes in most Zelda games are like 20 seconds long

Americans are choking on surging fast-food prices. "I can't justify the expense," one customer says (www.cbsnews.com)

Kevin Roberts remembers when he could get a bacon cheeseburger, fries and a drink from Five Guys for $10. But that was years ago. When the Virginia high school teacher recently visited the fast-food chain, the food alone without a beverage cost double that amount....

So during a famine, we’ll have to live on what, canned corn for the duration? I think I’d rather eat the hemp.

I’m no farmer, so I could be way off, but I feel like there are much better crops we could keep in surplus in case of famine.

zalgotext ,

It’s used in all of those things, but it’s not the only ingredient. On it’s own, corn can’t make a ton of unique products, you have to mix in other crops/ingredients and process it.

False dichotomy. There is also the possibility that you realize, from experience, that when you start introducing users, unexpected shit happens.

If you’re not willing to let the unexpected shit be public, don’t do a public alpha test. That’s the point everyone here is trying to make. Like, what are these streamers and content creators supposed to do when they run into a game-breaking bug, or they run into some mechanic they really dislike? Ignore it and hope no one notices, for fear of saying something “disparaging” about the game? Do you not see how unreasonable that is? We all understand that alphas are incomplete and will have bugs, and unexpected shit will happen. We all also have different opinions about what we like in video games. Them trying to hide from that, rather than just being upfront about it (like every other alpha or early access game I’ve ever played) is asinine.

They could do the alpha testing completely internally

They should do the alpha testing internally, if they’re not willing to have their product be honestly reviewed, or pay to have their product advertised.

But I get why the company would do this and it’s really a complete non-issue.

Considering that this thread exists, Seagull’s original tweet got the immense attention it did, and the studio announced hours ago that the particular clause everyone (except you) is taking issue with was a mistake that they’re looking into fixing, uh, maybe it actually isn’t just a “non-issue”?

Sure, they could do an NDA, or they could also get free publicity. It’s reasonable for them to choose the latter, and if you don’t like it, it’s reasonable for you to wait for release.

No, actually, I don’t think it’s reasonable to expect “free publicity” on the condition that the ones providing that publicity muzzle themselves if they don’t like the game. That’s exploitative behavior by this studio. Expecting free anything and then attaching unreasonable legal stipulations that you know the other party cannot fight is unethical.

Yeah, that’s pretty clearly not the point. They presumably want to fix the bugs without them counting against them in the court of public opinion.

They want to control the narrative around their unfinished video game, by trying to legally bully content creators, who have way less legal and financial leverage, into doing their bidding. That is unethical. Full stop, no I will not be taking any more questions.

He used to have some charisma lol. Also the early Linus Tech Tips content, like back when they were running it out of someone’s house, was usually pretty entertaining. Back then the content was much more silly and creative though, and much less corporatized.

Huh? Who says I have to provide an alternative? You’re the only one making up arbitrary criteria here
