They will trigger a laser alarm though. Depends what type of fire alarm you have. I have a laser alarm in my house and if I open the bathroom door too quick after a shower the steam can even trigger it.

Anecdotal, but I’ve never once had a problem with any function of Firefox in the decade I’ve been using it. On the contrary it’s been the most stable browser I’ve had the pleasure of using, orders of magnitude more reliable in all situations than Chrome or Opera ever was.

This post smells of astroturfing. There’s been an awful lot of “why is Firefox so shit?” posts recently, now that Google is proving itself untrustable.

It was me. I was the smartest kid in my class for most of school. Then I dropped out of college and now I fix cars for a living.

Not saying that’s a bad thing, the world needs mechanics and I’m paid well enough to live, but the sense of lost or wasted potential is overwhelming.

With proper use of metamagic, every spell is potentially like five different spells. Poindexter over here might have two dozen different named spells written down in his diary, but I know two fire based spells and I can make each of them do about eight different things, half of which aren’t even fire damage.

It’s the difference between writing down a recipe, and knowing how to cook.

Nah I’d believe that. That’s exactly the sort of four dimensional genius business move that Musk is known for.

Some of those I understand complaining about but honestly Sets & Logic is a great class for a programmer. I wish that was in the standard math path so that everyone got a little of it in high school, the closest I got was doing proofs in geometry which while that is a sort of logic training it doesn’t really teach you how to make use of anything.

Also, depending what you’re building exactly, advanced Calc and Numerical Analysis may be very useful and/or required to perform. Especially if you’re trying to accurately model something that happens in meatspace.

When you hit phase 2 of the fight and the boss pulls out a crack pipe

Plants consume, produce, and “fix” (make usable) different resources, hence the wild success of crop rotation for the last 8,000 years.

Sekiro is a lot more lenient on its parrying than Souls is. Whenever you see an attack incoming just mash the hell out of the block button for 1-2 seconds, more often than not you’ll get the parry. It’s the only Fromsoft game that allows that without punishing it.

For some later bosses you’ll have to actually get their timing down but that’ll carry you far enough through the game for you to get your feet under you.

From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me. I craved the strength and certainty of steel. I aspired to the purity of the Blessed Machine. Your kind cling to your flesh, as though it will not decay and fail you. One day the crude biomass you call the temple will wither, and you will beg my kind to save you. But I am already saved, for the Machine is immortal… Even in death I serve the Omnissiah.

I, a mere mortal, have no idea what the fuck this meme is talking about and I am slightly afraid. This sounds like Deep Math™️

This is the way. I’ve learned more Elden Ring lore during my dishes and laundry chores than I have playing the game. It takes me longer, because I get distracted by the video, but it doesn’t bother me because I’m engaged with something.

I am not a scientist, but I do like to watch them on youtube: We’re pretty sure something we don’t know about has a ton of mass. Otherwise a bunch of other stuff doesn’t really make sense, for example the universe should be way way bigger than it is now without something unseen keeping it condensed. So the existence of “dark matter” is about as confirmed as it can be without observing it directly. What we don’t know is what dark matter is, how to observe it, or how it works. But math, as we currently understand it, implies its existence pretty heavily.

Which does in fact mean that our math or understanding could just be wrong. Technically you’re right, we DON’T know if there really is dark matter. But if we assume our current knowledge is correct we can make a pretty reasonable guess about it.

I was being fed that line in 2008 when everyone in the class did, in fact, have a calculator in their pockets

They’re really not that obnoxious. The folks getting their panties in wads about it are either fools, or astroturfers. You do you chief, and I for one support this. Folks get overly triggered about all sorts of stupid little shit, don’t let them get you down. Someday soon a bunch of us will probably wish we did something like what you’re doing.

Local board game store is a good bet

Ah yes, the Balatro calendar. I play a King of Diamonds, which triples the number of days in June and removes October.

Allegedly, making an active effort towards lucid dreaming increases the rate of incidence of sleep paralysis by some ridiculous amount. Which makes sense, because in lucid dreaming you’re essentially trying to trick your brain into retaining conscious processing during a dream.

Never tried myself, but if you’re not afraid of the paralysis demons, it’s a win win. You either succeed and get to lucid dream on the regular which kicks ass, or you don’t succeed and start having nightly visits from Slim Jimmy.

Coat arms would probably drag on the ground otherwise, and anyone wearing a coat like this isn’t going to need their hands. They’ve got people for that.
