It's nip it in bud - which is not the nipple of a human, but the bud of a rose. Sorry for being so pedophile.

... Siracha.

At least before the debacle with Underwood Ranch. I unknowingly bought extra before it happened and am close to running out. I'm not sure what to do afterwards but I'm not inclined to support Huy Fong.

Copeland told 1819 News, which published the report on his 62nd birthday, that his online alter ego was a harmless “hobby” that did not go beyond his home.

"The only moral crossdressing is my crossdressing"

Yes, it's a less than egalitarian choice, I acknowledge that, but my empathy is only finite.

Wait... Am I missing something here? I don't understand why a 10kHz wave would do anything to a pair of speakers at a distance.

Unless the speakers are actively playing the output of a radio themselves, it's not like 10kHz waves will randomly affect the membrane of an electrostatic speaker. The membrane vibrates by an electric signal, not by EM radiation.

Even then, I feel like radios don't just output whatever their antenna picks up raw. The electronics in radios tune to specific frequency bands and decode the underlying signal by means of FM or AM, and it is that underlying signal that gets played by the speakers.

So even a stronger encoded signal doesn't necessarily mean louder speaker volume. It would just mean a clearer, less-noisy song.

Wow, thank you for sharing your experience.

How are you not higher voted. People on Lemmy complain about not having longform content that offers a unique perspective like on early Reddit, but you've written exactly that.

This but with Cyberpunk for me.

I've tried W3 so many times but I just can't get into it.

"(On SQ42) ...but our plan is to be feature and content complete by the end of 2019, with the first 6 months of 2020 for Alpha ... and then Beta." - Chris Roberts, 2018

Apparently the order of operations is reversed for Chris Roberts in that both "feature complete" and "content complete" come before both "alpha" and "beta".

There might even be a "delta" and "gamma" - you never know when it comes to this man and the absolute slipperiness he employs with the English language.

I've heard a great aphorism about this topic in that the national religion of Japan is "being Japanese".

Nice.

This is what I'm afraid of too. And it's entirely within the realm of possibility, and likely too because he's seemingly incapable of accepting public loses. He's going to do something, anything in response.

There is definitely a small set of powerful, rich, and influential people who "benefit", but I don't think it's a pyramid of nefarious overlords so much as it is just a large web of people acting on their own interests.

The same could be said for people with crab mentality. They are acting on their impulses, values, and opinions, born from likely unfortunate circumstances, when they drag their immediate others down. They aren't thinking about holding society back at large.

Plus, quite often things are the way they are because of historical inertia. It's why historians place make such a big deal about continuity. For example, many laws we have can be traced back to some series of awful events that happened to a set of people. But those awful events were probably caused by yet another set of awful circumstances.

If you're looking for some group of people to blame for all of your woes, you might just become a fascist.

That entire article reminds me of when I was told by my very rational and intelligent friends that I was overreacting to Kavanaugh's nomination proceedings - something about how his nomination would backfire.

What a stark contrast compared to what we have to worry about now.

Yes

I still listen to To Far Away Times. That song is still magical to this day.

You're pretty good (っ⁠´⁠･⁠_⁠･⁠)⁠っ

I mean many on the right truly want a homogeneous race of citizens. That's not mutually exclusive with cheap, undereducated labor.

XD I did this once and it was surprisingly delicious. I was tired and hungry, opened the can to cook it with other prepared ingredients. Decided to spoon some in my mouth, and then another, and then another, until I ate all of it right there.

This is completely sarcastic but it's so, so, SO dumb that this is in fact the sentiments of the ppl on the new the_donald website. Smh

You're entirely reading what you want to read out of my words, and then promptly applying some vague label as if you're somehow the most enlightened yourself. As if, probabilistically, we both aren't in very similar circumstances being here this very moment in the system that you seem to so despite.

I was actually quite impressed with how Blizzard revived D3 with Reaper of Souls and its Item 2.0. They had some really bold and new (for the time) ideas and it worked.

But that was Blizzard of old and I have very little faith that they're able to pull the same revival off on D4. The campaign was interesting, sort of, but beyond that: an awkward compromise between D2 and D3, and without the panache of either.

I suppose it's worth playing at least once.

How you do feel about it compared to the others like Halls of Torment and Rogue Genesia?

I was afraid that's what it meant. I haven't done Emag calculations since college but I feel like induction would only work at extremely close distances (as in centimeters) if at all, right?

All those induction experiments have multiple loops, tightly around the passing magnet for a reason since changes in the current is directly proportional to changes in the magnetic flux density (and only the ones normal to the surface area created by a closed loop).

And the closed loop created by the speaker and its source is a really irregular shape, designed to have a small cross-sectional area anyway. It all sounds kind of fishy.

Surprise! It's proper history.

It's as if the person read a parable about the Hindenburg disaster and took from it the idea that hydrogen should be the only gas used for balloons.

Is it the early access games, or is it just Chris Roberts' history of being deceptive?

I mean, if SQ42 is truly close to being released, if it requires a last push, shouldn't all employees continue to work on the project? Usually the final stages of a project require more work, not less.

Why would you suddenly "prioritize porting features from SQ42 to SC" if releasing SQ42 is a goal?

I see. Well, I guess I'll see you in 2 years then when they inevitably pull off another swap and move all resources from SC back onto SQ42, and use that as an excuse, yet again, for why significant progress isn't happening now, but soon in the near-future.

I'll even mark my calendar 😉

I know, I know. It's not a knock against the game or anyone who likes it. Maybe I'll come back to it in the far future. There are almost too many games available at the moment so I'll be ramming my flaccid dong against another wall until I love it.

🤣

I imagine all of these powers come as the worst possible implementation like a cursed rabbit's foot.

Like free gravel for life: you don't conjure it out of thin air at will, no, it's magically mailed to you once a day in small quality and you have to remove it from your mailbox or it'll fill it up.

Teleport 7 inches: a magic nimbus appears and lifts you on it. If there's a wall in the way, it just keeps shoving you against the wall.
