Technically, it didn't print part of the instructions, it printed all of them.

At this point, I could honestly see a library being better for fact-checking.

It's not for copyright infringement, it's for patent infringement. Apparently when they made Legends Arceus, Nintendo patented the idea of pointing the camera at a monster and throwing stuff at it.

What does chaser mean?

The main shift was that I now strongly prefer console/couch/tv gaming over PC/monitor/desk gaming.

This is the big one for me. My co-workers all wonder why I switched from pc to PlayStation, and I'm like, "dude, you just watched me troubleshoot 10 machines that failed our OS upgrade, and you think I want to come home and find that Windows update just broke my sound drivers again?"

Thank you. It was my first time hearing the term.

I prefer wired for almost all cases. The reasons are threefold:

  1. It seems like the only Bluetooth headphones being sold lately are either tiny individual ear buds that are easy to lose or big bulky over-the-ear headphones. Right now, my preferred wireless ear buds are connected by wires to an around-the-neck device, and I'm worried I won't be able to replace them easily when they finish falling apart.

  2. Wireless ear buds are one more thing I have to charge. I already have to charge my phone, watch, game accessories, and vape. I don't need one more battery to manage.

  3. Latency makes it obnoxious to watch video with wireless audio.

Right now, the only use case for my wireless ear buds is when I'm walking the dog and don't want to worry about the wire bouncing around and getting caught on my clothes when I've already got the leash in one hand. The only reason I use Bluetooth in my car is because my old car had annoying feedback when I listened on the aux cable while the phone was charging. I'm considering trying aux again in the new car because the latency on the car's Bluetooth is even worse and I've found myself watching videos in my parked car while on break from work.

When I got my first Rubik's cube, I never thought I'd ever be able to solve it in under a minute. I still can't, because it turns like garbage, but I got a 30 second solve on my MoYu cube recently.

I think it's a sincere question. Your comments so far have suggested that you support the idea that execution is an acceptable punishment for people who abuse drugs and then disobey orders from authority. I believe it's fair to question whether there are lower levels of nuisance that you also believe the death penalty should apply to.

As for the argument as a whole, taking into consideration the cost of training and wages for the prison guards/riflemen/executioners necessary to employ this scheme and the logistical cost of moving these incarcerated laborers to potential work sites, as well as the low quality of the labor they could provide while going through withdrawals, I still think the $10 per day would be cheaper.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but on PS5 you'll need to send individual images to a friend, to be able to download them from your chat session on the mobile app.

That's the way on PS4. PS5 automatically sends all photo and video captures to the PS app on your phone. They disappear after 14 days, so if you don't save them within two weeks, then you have to get them with chat posts like PS4.

Sid Meier's Pirates

I have dozens of thousands of hours logged in that game, all because it's so easy to get in to and so hard to get out of. Just turn it on, do some pirate shit, then realize it's been hours and you probably should have eaten or slept at some point.

My understanding is that admins already have access to see who votes. This feature is to make then visible to everyone.

ymfah is a mad genius, and everyone should check out his other videos.

Third vote for connect. Tried jerboa, thought it was hideous. Went out of my way to try Thunder, not enough features. Connect is just right.

The point of the dual boot is that you still have everything from before. When you turn on the computer, it'll ask if you want your old Windows or your new Linux.

It's possible you've had it before and were simply asymptomatic the first time. I only knew I had it the first time because everyone in my house was miserably ill and I tested positive. Two years later, I tested positive again. This time, I had the worst headache of my life, and I was so exhausted that I felt like passing out every time I stood up. Only lasted a day or two, thankfully.

I would think it's because users only interact with their own instance. They would need to post it to their instance first before it can be forwarded to the appropriate community's instance.

My hatred of blackberries is unending. I'm angry enough that I have to mow the grass, but there is nothing I loathe more than having to regularly take a machete to the encroaching mass of thorny monsters that are invading my yard and attempting to make it uninhabitable by my children. If I was given the option to make any species of any living thing immediately extinct, I would choose blackberries without a moment's hesitation, and then throw a party to celebrate the oppression I've been freed from.

I mean, we kinda do, we just take in so much more inputs than we could ever reasonably put in a computer, over a much longer time period, and with processing done on those inputs that isn't entirely understood.

I think you meant "morale" instead of "moral."

Yeah, but the LGBTQ people in those areas probably wouldn't buy that stuff either for fear of being outed and ostracized.

Ah, I apologize, it seems I misinterpreted the top comment. I reread the thread, and now I see the link to an article about increased violence. I was looking at the thread by the context of the top comment's text alone, so I was interpreting your comments as being about homeless people and drug addicts in general. I still don't like the idea of prison labor as a solution, but your opinion makes a lot more sense when taken as a response to violent crime. I wonder if the other commenter in this chain made the same mistake.

Apologies again for the misunderstanding.
