Yes, to an extent they do different things, but that’s not what the person you were replying to was talking about. For several years there was this idea that “left-handed people are right-brain dominant, and right-handed people are left-brain dominant.” And along with that went this whole astrology-tinged thing about the right brain being the creative half and the left brain being the analytic half and whatnot. It’s pretty much nonsense.
I tried this with my Switch, but it turns out the switch version of moonlight is super janky. It can’t wake the computer, and the controls don’t seem to map right by default, which basically means I have to remap controls every time I start a game (since I go back and forth between the PC and the handheld, and I need to switch them back when I’m at the PC). Plus it sometimes just stops accepting input for a while and makes me run down to the computer. It just has a lot more friction than I thought it would.
I’m doing all that because there’s this part of my brain that is convinced that I should get a Deck, even though my problem isn’t actually that I don’t have a handheld, it’s that I can’t motivate myself to play the games I already have. So, not actually gonna get a Deck unless the prices come down a lot. The used prices are mostly still over $300, though.
The slides look pretty similar to the illustration. I don’t think those are actually slides that end over the edge, they’re slides that have a transparent section where they hang over the edge so you can get a little glimpse of being over the open ocean. Which I guess is an extra kind of thrill? I would pass.
Here’s a screenshot of the video for comparison.
Yep. Sorry for the abrupt transition back from camping.
That looks to me like a drawing by the design/architecture team, but there is a real boat like that and it’s a pretty close match for the design. Here’s a video with drone footage from the launch; 1:39 you can see a view kinda similar to the drawing.
Trump is sending 2000 national guard troops to LA in response to anti-ICE protests there, over the explicit objection of Governor Newsom, who would normally be involved in any National Guard deployment in his state. The protests were mostly peaceful, and the local police were handling them, so this is entirely an effort to escalate the situation and show force against a state that doesn’t want Trump interfering.
Oh, yeah, the voice is a big part of it. “Everything is possible with zombocom.”
I looked it up. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=XdWlWUUYejc
They’re not saying that slow growth is definitely evidence it’s exponential. They’re saying that slow growth doesn’t prove that it isn’t exponential, which seemed to be what you were saying.
It’s always hard to identify exponential growth in its early stages.
You can use that kind of HP cartridge and also modify it to take ink from a reservoir. It’s perfectly possible to buy ink suitable for an inkjet printer in bulk for much cheaper than HP will sell it to you, and that kind of reservoir mod will let you use the print head built in to the HP cartridge.
Yeah, I had the same thing with the photos of diseased bodies and the disparaging of contraception. I remember in particular that the textbook chapter on abstinence was immediately followed by the chapter on parenthood, which felt like it left a pretty conspicuous gap.
Amusingly there were two very different Health Class experiences to be had at my school. You were assigned one at random, you couldn’t choose which teacher you got. One was a first-year math teacher and member of an unsuccessful local Christian rock band. He’s who I had. The other possibility was a lesbian gym teacher, whose class was apparently (and unsurprisingly) a LOT more useful.
But yeah, the 90’s kinda sucked, and I hate that the US is trundling back towards that kind of “education.”
As far as I can tell, this is a user who reviews games that use Denuvo, and always reviews them as Not Recommended, but will change that review to “Informational” and the review text to “Denuvo removed” when the game removes Denuvo. There may be other circumstances when they’ll change it, though, so if you’re thinking of actually buying one of these games, it seems wise to click on the game’s “Not Recommended” or “Informational” and then scroll down on the store page until it shows you the relevant review. It should be highlighted on the page, though you have to scroll a ways down to see it. There is also a box just after the controller support info that lists 3rd party DRM a game uses, which should be there if the games uses Denuvo.
That’s not the C&H I expected to see in this thread.
It’s directed by Terry Gilliam, and it’s brilliant. It’s set in a bureaucratic totalitarian state, and follows a minor functionary who is slowly losing his mind. There are multiple overlapping plots, involving a rebel heating engineer, a man mistakenly abducted and tortured to death by the government after a computer glitch, the functionary’s politically ambitious mother, a quack plastic surgeon, a beautiful truck driver, terrorist attacks, and the functionary’s ever-growing escapist fantasy life. It’s one of my favorite films. Right up there with Delicatessen in terms of dystopian comedy sci-fi.
Pick a number. Any number.
Sticking only to ones I haven’t seen mentioned:
Ones I have seen mentioned but can’t bear not to mention:
I’m pretty excited about the upcoming “Free Stars: Children of Infinity.” I backed them on Kickstarter.
I liked Horace okay at first, but it definitely gets bastard hard in a hurry.
I mostly agree with this–I commented not long ago in another thread that the political situation in the US has convinced me not to seek any diagnosis right now. But I would say that there can be reasons that aren’t specific to medication in particular that you might want a diagnosis. Sometimes there are non-medication accommodations that you can get (e.g. at work) with a diagnosis that they might not be open to giving you without one. Sometimes this can be huge! I’ve had times where I was in two different different locations in the same office at different times, and in one, half my field of view was taken up by a throughway where people walked across the office, and in the other my view was against a wall and behind a little corner of wall, and I got so much more work done in the second spot. It was just tremendously less overstimulating. So the prospect of being able to get that kind of issue taken seriously is part of what tempted me about seeking diagnosis.
