Yeah I’ve noticed this in ESO as well. I’ve been playing since the beta and people have constantly complained that the endgame content was too easy. Cue some cycles of power creep where your character can get progressively more powerful with better gear followed by more difficult dungeons, and now there is content that the average player just can’t do anymore without min/maxing. I was in a Vet dungeon with three other experienced players and couldn’t complete it after around 7 hours worth of attempts, and our gear/setup was good and we understood the mechanics of the bosses.

There’s no way that Meemaw who picked up this game to casually play as a cute Khajiit and questing would be able to beat it.

Dude they sell our data to advertisers and big data for profit. The least they can do is provide some services for us for the amount of analytics they collect from us on a daily basis.

“Boss, most of the bricks we have are broken in pieces. We can’t build the wall per specifications.”

“We have a deadline, get it done however possible by the end of the day today.”

You would think that Microsoft would have implemented better functionally by now. Yeah they had WordPad but that sucked too.

Like, c’mon, allow me to alt-highlight blocks of text already.

I can think of only a few reasons why the military would have you take training in Texas:

• Gunslingin’ with revolvers, single and akimbo

• Practicing the perfect “Yeehaw”

• Wrasslin’

• Combat maneuver training in boots with spurs

• Lasso training

The best languages allow you to program not just emojis as outputs, but with emojis themselves. 🫳⌨️🖥️

The early Chrome was crazy fast when it had none of the bloat.

That’s why I believe that the username crisis is real. Future generations won’t have short usernames and will have to use increasingly longer usernames to have a unique one, or have a Redditesque default [word1][word2][4numbers].

We might as well just go all out and just have everyone use a UUID with minimal chances of username collision.

A cool thought about sourdough starters is that they are unique. A starter from 1897 should impart a flavor unlike any other starter. It’s like the snowflake of the yeasty realm.

I’ve got a book that has been out of print for decades that I’ve painstakingly scanned in page by page. Is there a way I can donate it to the archive?

So many trackers that even a kennel of bloodhounds can’t keep up with it.

Also front left for phone and front right for wallet and keys.

For the phone in left pocket though, only the phone is placed in it to prevent it from getting scratched (even with a screen protector it’s annoying), so nothing else goes in there.

Learned that the hard way.

earth.nullschool.net is a pretty cool visualizer of all things meteorological.

About a decade ago, Logitech had this awesome mouse with a freewheel spinning middle mouse button. It allowed for a long spin after release and was excellent for up and down scrolling on a large page. Sadly they don’t seem to be made anymore. They were really fun.
