I literally quit playing botw and totk because of weapon durability. It adds nothing to the game except to make it possible I’m in an unwinnable boss fight because I forgot to bring more than five weapons. If I could use weapons for 5x as long it wouldn’t have made me quit; I’d just not like that part of the game. But some weapons lasting only 3-5 hits is fucking ridiculous.

For as long as Reddit has been available there have been places that would scrape it and mirror deleted/edited comments. I don’t remember what any of them are so people would use them all the time to figure out what someone said before they were banned.

What about doing grpc / protobuf stuff

When I detailed cars at a used car dealership for a living, I had a wheel made of the same rubber you find in erasers on the end of an air powered die grinder. It was soft enough to not affect the clear coat, but it was fantastic at removing commercial vehicle decals / stickers / numbers along with the adhesive!

If you want to design and build large-scale industrial plant infrastructure like pressure vessels, piping, pumps, turbines, etc., most of the codes and standards you have to meet cost money to even see -and they are NOT cheap (in the tens of thousands of dollars for a full set).

In several jurisdictions, the standards are incorporated into law by reference. Most people think that you should have free access to read the text of the law that you’re beholden to, but what happens when a copyrighted work is incorporated into the law?

archive.org asserted the law should be free to access. However, they lost a copyright lawsuit brought by the American society of mechanical engineers because they were hosting copies of these standards.

So, to read the law you are beholden to in this sector of manufacturing, you must either pay a private organization ($$$) or memorize it (impossible); you cannot make copies for yourself to reference at your leisure

Bug reports against the Python standard library and core Python packaging utilities. My day job is in QA, so the bugs were easy to read and reproduce; the stdlib ones were all fixed in the next Python patch. Whenever I’m not burnt out I plan on fixing the packaging one myself 🫠

Sometime between 2005 and 2008, someone from explosm (the cyanide and happiness guys) did a thing in the forums where they’d draw a comic panel and the forum decided what happened next by voting in the thread. It’d go on for a few days, and by the end the stories were always wildly off the rails. They did it ~3 times. Sometime later, they lost all of their forums, which included these threads. I’ve always wondered if there’s an archive of those things somewhere. They were absolutely legendary.

This is the deepest discount I’ve ever seen on Rimworld. Still not at the right price point for me but it’s darn close.

My wage doesn’t have a cost of goods sold line item. If I take in $5b and make $5.5b in revenue, $300m is > 1/2 of my net profit

This might be relevant, but I was like this for almost my entire life until my 30s. Found out I have a kidney disorder that makes me lose potassium way too fast. Started treating that and most cravings went away.

My takeaway was that cravings can be driven by nutritional deficiencies. Figure out what you’re missing and eat more of that, or supplement. The cravings can also be totally wrong about what to eat. I would crave purely salty stuff but what I actually needed were bananas, avocados, and strawberries (bc they’re crazy high in potassium). A lot of the foods I craved were actively worse for my cravings (very starchy foods lower potassium levels; worst offenders are pizza and alcohol).

I’m not saying you have my specific thing, it’s crazy rare; all bodies are unique, however, and yours might be missing something. Keep an eagle eye on what you actually consume and try to correlate cravings to your eating habits.

Completely unrelated, but if you have ADHD you may have also ingrained the “food=dopamine” correlation deep into your psyche. People often use food to regulate their mood unwittingly and it becomes a destructive habit.

Sometimes it can be both of these things. So good luck and godspeed.

I’m about 3 hours in and the benches are far more generous than in the first game. Also corpse runs aren’t required; you just lose your money.

Fun fact, an exploit in the Lumines save file is how the original PSP jailbreaks worked

Watching Kimbo Slice beat the shit out of people in random back yards was peak. Beat the hell out of needing to download the whole thing before watching it like you had to do with Red vs Blue

My oldest account I can still access is my eBay account at roughly 20 years old. Next oldest is my Steam account at 18.

It’s 5 volts no matter where you are because you charge it via USB.

I’ll ship one to you if you want

Nostr solves the centralized hosting problem the current fediverse has. It’s still being developed, though, and is mostly used by crypto bros at the moment.

Why should the benefits of my labor not pass on to my children just because it’s a creative work?

Duke Nukem Forever was just ok. StarCraft: Ghost got cancelled.
