Not sure why this is such a common perception. Most of the software devs I know are pretty average people other than being computer nerds. I met one trans CS student in college but that was it.

Jail ≠ prison, this just means he's going to have a worse time waiting for trial.

Google's Mysterious Proprietary Algorithm shows different results to different people. Why are you pretending that other people are pretending?

This game really makes you feel like you're being stabbed with a knife.

Look at the girth of that dude's index finger. No wonder it works for him.

I assume they're talking about using a washcloth or loofah, but I'm not sure as I'm also a committed bare-hander.

You have to manually provide a seed every time you want a random number. Gophers will defend this with their dying breath.

Statistically nuclear is by far the safest form of power generation. Of course, it would be good to locate it in areas that are not disaster prone. As far as I understand it though, the issue with nuclear is the cost. But in a perfect world we would need something to smooth out the inconsistency of renewables, either battery tech or something like nuclear that you can turn on and off as needed.

Being manipulative is a good alternative compared to just being direct and asking your partner what they think? I'm sure someone who is going to throw a fit about the Barbie movie will be happy to tell you what they think about feminism if you just ask.

"Bring some Cokes in please" 🤦 that's how you know it's real

If you're worried about real harm this person should not be your partner. It doesn't matter what they think about a movie.

Devil's advocate, it's not optional if you want to keep your max cape, which is probably the best QoL item in the game

Yes, but I'd prefer incompetence rather than being deliberately anti-developer.

Well the problem with the Texas power grid is that it exists in the first place. Still, when it comes to safety, you have to multiply how bad it is by the number of people it will affect, and divide by the amount of power generated to get the right picture. There is a media bias towards rare, intense events which causes people to think they are more common than they really are. This explains people's views on nuclear power, school shootings, terrorism, shark attacks etc.

That's good to hear, but I wouldn't choose to use a language that took 5 years to get that right, when most languages have it from day 1.

Really? Because there's only one issue in the repo...

The beauty of a threaded conversation platform is that you can just close threads you're not interested in. Or, apparently, start a new thread bitching about them.

But even the contribution of their net worth to the coverage is only in the sense that people think it's funny that something bad is happening to an arrogant billionaire. I don't think the intent of OP was to say that people should feel schadenfreude over the migrant situation.

Don't hold your breath, lol. Billionaires aren't tripping over each other trying to save everyone else.

I don't recall having any problems with liquids in my omni playthrough which I quit around MV IIRC.

The mining is a breeze in nomi IF you play on a default world type. The official lost cities world type is actually a little poorly integrated since some essential veins spawn higher up. But with the scanner, buying ores with coins, and the diamond hammers you get to start with, I would say the mining is much simpler than most packs. And you can automate ores fairly early as well, so if you use your coins wisely it shouldn't be an issue.

Here, there and everywhere is incredibly underrated in my opinion. And since I haven't seen them mentioned, Revolution and Think for Yourself are both great.

The sources are... A bunch of tankie newsletters, a Medium article, and official Chinese reports? LOL talk about bias.

The thing is, I don't actually disagree with it. I don't care what other people do if it doesn't affect me, I just understand why and I'm willing to say it out loud.

As a js dev, I will gymnastically take that as a compliment

That would just be a life philosophy like Stoicism. Religion implies there are non falsifiable beliefs involved.

None 👍

Got burnt out on omnifactory awhile ago but I'm trying nomifactory now. I'm trying to make a desert base kind of inspired by the ESO Hotel.

I also played a little Minecraft: Golden Times (Tekkit classic remake for 1.15) for the nostalgia but it's basically an idle game once you get a power flower set up.

"It's so easy for me everyone, look how much better I am than you." Proving my point but go on.

Ignore the reasons they give you. It's literally 100% ego. They think it's harder so doing it makes them better than everyone else.

Edit: They hated him because he spoke the truth.
