Nice, earlier this year I wanted to to likewise but with Professor Oak challenges, which is get every Pokemon as early in progression we possible. I did it on Blue but it was quite miserable grinding lvl 36 Blastoise fighting only lvl 6 stuff prior to the first badge.
Suffice to say I took a break after that, but I'll hit Silver next. Fast forward on emulation was a godsend, as well as achievement tracking for keeping track of how many more I had to grab before the next badge (it got really weird because you can skip Lt Surge and just keep going without the HM lol)
Oh, isn't that Diego Rivera's wife? I heard she dabbles with paints but I'm pretty sure in 92 years people aren't going to worry about the names and works of famous spouses.
Yes, to let this joke I did actually need to look up his name and it found by looking up the name of a painting she made of them, lol.
Maybe, although your standard "we have this congressmen to talk about the last thing Trump did" just depends. It's usually like, whoever is on some committee, so if it's an R they bullshit the interview, if it's a D, the world is ending. It only feels a bit overcorrected if they don't push back on the bullshit, but the last interview I heard did include that. Just not always.
Still a majority of the programming is like, "this random town has an annual event that's weird but cool, but it's under threat from climate change" which is just like... apolitical if you understand facts.
Hell yeah, infinity pool / basic survival generator when the power plants are all derelict. But I'll probably need to add an engineer to my post apocalypse stronghold to keep it maintained.
I'm... I'm not sure that's really ADHD's fault lol. I don't think anyone can or should be able to remember more than 10 contestants on any reality show, really. They aren't that important or memorable, lol
Holy hell, your recommendation algorithm is all sorts of fucked. I tried to replicate it but just searching for "FOSS budgeting software comparison" it looks like there's a few legit ones in the mix, but plenty of AI, too.
I'm not going to watch them to check though, since hitting one AI one will probably make them all AI, lol.
NPR is definitely making out like a bandit, they were using the loss of funding in their fundraising lately so they kinda get two wins in a sense.
Odd thing to me is it never even changed their coverage much even after the cuts, they've always both-sides with guests since they're the go-to with standing politicians, a little more than half being Republicans. The left leaning thing mostly just comes from facts having a liberal bias, as they say. Lol
One of my doomsday fantasies is to simply take one of the empty homes I see whenever I commute to work, since the fall of the government would probably make it hard for them to enforce the law. I've even worked out multiple options, it's amazing how many mansions are simply empty because the right seller hasn't come along to pay 30M for it or because it's a summer home. Easily one half, I've counted.
You can even try now, but there is a ton of private security lately so you would need to wait until the fall of the empire first, I bet. Plus hey, it's mountain side property so you'll have the high ground in combat!
While that's true, I'm not sure it's about passing judgement so much about critiquing the system that promotes that behavior, like corporate ownership and super rich sorts.
While I don't see the end to capitalism anytime soon, a good middle ground proposed is the end to corporate ownership of properties, since the main reason there are empty homes are land developers using them as a commodity for buying and selling. Ending the concept of summer homes and such would be nice, too, but at the ratio we're seeing it probably wouldn't even be necessary to fix homelessness if we ended the corporate thing.
Good recap. To be fair, I think the brother also tried to explain it was all in jest, which is... possible, especially with the follow up jokes about Get Hard and the fact it was a 2018 email chain after Trump met with Putin privately.
But for MAGA people that's enough evidence, plus it's just fun imo (like Couches for Vance). Honestly the more obviously true thing of him fucking sex trafficked teenagers doesn't seem to bother them so might continue with the thing that did strike a nerve.
I don't think the question is what level math to end on, but rather how math is taught. I teach psych statistics at University and the average student does the math parts mostly fine (it's just algebra) but their critical thinking and application of the math is usually what is sorely lacking regardless of their ending math course. And in the real world where we do everything with computers, the application is 99% what matters.
I've had people in middle age who dropped out in 6th grade in Mexico do better than fresh-from-US-high school calculus experienced students, and that's not even taking into account this more recent COVID-survivors generation that feels like they skipped a year of education. It's very... grim.
I agree we don't know if they're loss leaders yet. I will say that even if the hardware is priced at a loss, though, it'll sell more Steam games. Ultimately I don't know if it really matters.
Though yeah, people should get past headlines. Lol
Headphones won't break your ears any worse than loud speakers do, and noise cancelling headphones are actually a solution to blocking loud noise (e.g. construction), or for people who get overstimulated.
In fact, since headphones can block out sound you might even be listening at a lower volume than if you were trying to drown out sound with speakers, assuming the headphones have any noise cancellation (even just muffled cups). Even just competing with ambient noise can cause us to raise volumes more than necessary.
Yup. That's an unpopular opinion alright. You could say you're down for killing babies and I think I'd agree more than this current unpopular opinion, lol.
Ty for the list, I was curious since I'm a Java player and wouldn't ever know. That's... yeah that's real bad. It's bad when you make the Java version look stable.
Yeaaaah... those signs are needed. I recall hand washing is fairly common still, like 3/4th (favoring women) but that's not universal.
Looking it up, that's about right but apparently only 30% of men use soap? Wtf, lol
