A room temperature can of full sugar soda takes at most 2 hours to chill in a 0 °F freezer. A refrigerated can of full sugar soda takes about 45 minutes to get to just above freezing (the perfect temperature for Dr Pepper consumption).

Diet sodas take about half the time in both scenarios.

This is for 12oz cans.

I’ve got it down to a science.

The main thing I remember about this game is that it was financed by the fortune of a former MLB baseball player, independent of any game studio.

90s kid here, but in a poor and rural area. I would play in my yard all day and couldn’t leave because it bordered a highway, and the nearest business was 5 miles away. Libraries were special trips. I had no neighbors, and no friends aside from school and church.

I played a fuckload of super Mario and read everything in the house whether I enjoyed it or not. Got halfway through the encyclopedia before we got free dial up Internet through AOL trial CDs and NetZero, but even then time was limited because phone line time was expensive.

I see this repeated all the time and I’m sure there’s some truth to it, but A&W burgers are also disgusting and more expensive than their competitors. So there’s that.

Madam Web. The premise of your perception being un-stuck in time and the ramifications that has for your psyche is really cool. What’s not cool is hiring bad writers and nepo baby actresses to portray that story

I can program and I have a mechanical engineering degree but I have super niche skills so I can’t get hired abroad. I always read that there’s a skills shortage in tons of countries but there aren’t any actual jobs to take.

Death road to Canada is pretty solid.

Spelunkey 2 is fantastic, albeit incredibly challenging.

Nobody would be able to understand me because English has diverged so far from 12th century English that it’s a different language. Also I’d be in north America where nobody had even seen a white person. Additionally, I’m 20 ft above the ground right now in a building that didn’t exist back then. Finally, I’d be rightfully blamed for bringing plague to the native tribes of the area and likely killed.

Assuming those hurdles were all cleared: I’m a mechanical engineer. So, I’d tell the natives where iron ore, coal, and oil was buried and how to extract and refine it. Tell them how to make gunpowder. Speed run making steam engines and lathes. Get north american natives armed, industrialized, and organized against the external European threat.

I can tell you haven’t booted the game up recently because they completely redid the perk system and cyberware not too long ago.

CDPR has been atoning for the sin that was their failed launch for years. In my opinion, the game is a good game now.

Storage data structures. Database tables are designed for fast read/write. Excel is designed for fast simultaneous parallel computation.

To get a sense of what this looks like, you can read more about their data structures; Databases typically store data in what’s called a “B Tree” and spreadsheets typically store as a format that can be easily converted into a “Directed Acyclic Graph” (although Excel lets you turn off the “acyclic” part if you allow circular references).

Although, with Excel specifically, there’s probably not much difference since it has some database functionality now.

With non-wifi devices I can be certain I won’t be bamboozled into buying something cloud-only

Shame, because on its face, I thought it was a really interesting technology that solved an underlying infrastructure problem in the fediverse’s makeup.

It’s free in the US, so there’s ~360 million potential users they decided to make things harder for

Ironic because this is the second time I’ve seen this image posted

They used to allow their client to be used to send unsecured SMS. Then they stopped. Whatever they thought they were doing, they killed the simplest path to onboarding laypeople they had. I kinda gave up on signal after that.

I chose this one because it had the piracy community

I had to refund armored core 6 because the first boss fight stuttered so much. I have a 3080, so not the best but definitely no slouch. No matter what settings I tweaked, it’d always drop to slideshow performance for 1-2 seconds at a time. Acceptable in a cheaper title, maybe, but not on a full price game.

The simple existence of XY females (Swyer syndrome, 1 in 100,000 females) and XX males (de la Chapelle syndrome, 1 in 20,000 males) makes this binary declaration imperfect.

There is only one set of facts.

There is only one ground truth, yes, but the set of facts that live in my head and the set of facts that live in yours will be different. This is called “theory of mind” and most humans develop it around age 4-8.

Good effort,

Thanks!

instead of educating yourself, get someone else to do it.

Work smarter, not harder

Instead of posting a nearly useless comment,

Cruel irony, using my own words against me

go get yourself an education

I did, but I’m not on the same wavelength as you, so I still have a ways to go :(

I’ll give you a head start

Thank God, I didn’t even know it was a race

it’s all in the algorithm.

Which one? I’m guessing quicksort.

You mean they signed up for an app that actually works and generates a feed for you vs one that doesn’t do either of those things?
