Just Google meatspin - it’ll be easier that way than explaining it here I think. One of those things you just have to see to understand.

Nice, got it figured out then?

Well that’s not classically how DND works - it certainly didn’t on my Note 20 Ultra. Maybe you had Google digital wellbeing settings turned on? Or focus mode or something of that nature, such that when the office is in DND notifications are held?

I highly recommend this Veritasium video from last year about this subject.

A very accurate debunking of trickle down economics. He should have been thanking you.

Not necessarily threads, but to remain wide open isn’t necessarily the best policy. Or so I assume this to be the point they were making.

Maybe use some critical thinking before acting smug, smart guy. 41% of instances is not 41% of users. Lemmy.world could have 90% of users, and if this 1 instance out of 1000 haven’t blocked threads, the 41% of instances blocking might only host 4% of users.

Oh I vaguely remembered it being beyond the ¾ point, but also I wouldn’t have known and it certainly FELT like that was the case when I got soft locked.

I went to school in Hawai’i and discovered strawberry guava - the plant is an invasive species that chokes the life out of everything it can, but it bears the most delicious fruit.

While playing Final Fantasy X the first time, I got to Old Zanarkand and inside the dome, I saved behind a sealed door in the Cloister of Trials. I wasn’t savvy to good saving practices and after solving the puzzle, got into a battle I was completely hopeless to defeat. There was no way to walk back out the door from which I entered, the only way out was through; and with my existing inventory, spells, charged up aeons, etc. I absolutely could not defeat the boss.

It was pretty crushing because this moment is so close to the end of the game, but I gave up and had to come back months (years?) later to fully start the game over. I think maybe I played 99+ hours of Final Fantasy VII and then decided to give X another try. The second time, I was much smarter with maintaining multiple save games for safety. Not to be bested again, I grinded up all of my limit breaks and aeons for safety and completely obliterated the boss in one go the next time around.

I literally only get Marvel Snap/general gaming, College Humor, tech, educational, stand up comedy, and drones. That’s it. I don’t mean to victim blame, but it learns what you click and what you stay to watch.

I have had exclusively Bluetooth headphones for almost a decade at this point. I keep a backup pair of wired usb-c earbuds in my glove box in case I don’t foresee needing my wireless buds.

Controversial take - sometimes you’ve just got to adapt to the times. I’ll never forgive everyone for removing SD expansion in phones, because there’s absolutely no replacement except “buy our expensive cloud storage and own nothing ever!” or “spend SIGNIFICANTLY MORE THAN THE ACTUAL COST OF FLASH STORAGE to increase your onboard storage!” which are both unacceptable. But wireless headphones are perfectly acceptable. If I want an audiophile experience, I’m absolutely not using my phone anyways.

For that to be true, it would have needed to be worth $44B in the first place, which it absolutely was not. But there is no doubt that his mismanagement has tanked the value of the investment. He’s a narcissist so never see it that way, but the whole rest of the world knows that.

Enjoy your crypto scam browser, bro.

No, Stop using Brave browser.

For me it’s Starbucks and Chipotle - they both discontinued the best thing on their menu, chorizo. I’ve had other things I liked at both restaurants, but I’m not going to waste my money with either for what they’ve done.

When I was in high school, they added 25 minutes to every day to build in snow days. If we did not use them, school just ended earlier than scheduled. This could serve basically the same function, to shorten the school year.

However, that’s not even necessarily a good thing for learning… I think year-round school is generally accepted to be the best way to learn having many shorter gaps rather than one long summer. I suppose it could build in an extra week or two of breaks normally not present in a year-round school schedule.

People on the internet have gotten so stupid, I’m not entirely sure whether this was meant as /s or not. Really an indictment on the internet as a whole.

Hey, I support you voting with your wallet then, and you should hold out for Starfield and GTA VI. Maybe play some Cyberpunk or NMS. Hogwarts Legacy too.

But if moddability is a prerequisite for you on full price games, you’re probably due a lot of disappointment going forward as games continue to shift to GAS models (and honestly, if you’ve been beating this drum you’ve been real disappointed for the last decade anyways). Mods are a great experience for a single player game, but invite rampant cheating in competitive multiplayer games that need to be fair and balanced for all players. You’re just not going to see moddability in multiplayer games. And one certainly doesn’t have a right to interrupt or destroy other players’ enjoyment of a game because they want to cheat.

To be clear, I am not arguing against modding being allowed in games. I ran a VERY heavily modified UI in World of Warcraft, and have had a blast with tons of mods in games like Skyrim and Minecraft. It’s just not a hill I’ll die on either. Not every game can or should be modded.

I was actually just watching a 60 minutes episode on YouTube the other day about a massive, fully green, generations long mining source of lithium in SoCal. It’ll be able to supply all of the lithium needed for yearly domestic American EV sales and because it’s so close to home, prices for these massive battery packs should fall off precipitously.
