Shout-out to all my nexrad tech homies out there 📡

I’ve been doing it for about two years now and I think it’s pretty incredible. Consistently having a third day off can do wonders; commute only 4 times a week, your third day off is a weekday so basically always have a great day to go shopping, appointments, etc while everyone else is at work. I don’t think I could ever go back to 5 8’s. The only thing better would be 4 8’s

“All trainees are reminded: drink 1/2 to 3/4 canteen per hour, not to exceed 12 canteens per day. You will drink 3 non-caffeinated, non carbonated beverages with each and every meal.”

Is what was recited daily when I was in basic training. And yeah, heat stroke is a big issue. I don’t think you can blame the instructors really; everyone knows someone that says water tastes bad or whatever. All the instructors know is that everyone better be drinking their water.

It was cool in 2010 when I was like 14 and had an iPod touch but didn’t have wireless Internet access at home because my parents didn’t understand the concept of a router and thought they would have to pay for it, plus christian concern over porn and corruption on the net. So I could go to like McDonalds or whatever, download all of these game review articles, web novels, and whatever else I was into at the time so that when I got back home I could still interact with the web.

Nowadays, yeah I don’t really get the point. Everyone’s permanently plugged in so a regular bookmark is fine. Also in case anyone was concerned, my buddy eventually gave me his old router and I secretly set up WiFi in my house so I was good for the rest of the time I lived at home 👍

People didn’t really like it when CD Projekt Red did that with Cyberpunk, and this is a pretty close mirror image of that…

When I tried to play RuneScape, I did it on my uncle’s computer. RuneScape asked me to verify if I was 13, which I wasn’t, so I clicked no. Then the site proceeded to block me from making an account, along with storing a cookie I guess that prevented me from just refreshing the page and trying again. I felt pretty bad because I thought they banned my uncle’s computer forever from playing lol. Hence I never played RuneScape…

So many hours wasted on addicting games. I think the impossible quiz was the first thing I played on it.

For all you boomers out there, there was a game I used to play on addicting games that was like a smash clone, except I think you could get like guns and lightsabers and stuff? It wasn’t super smash flash or …

As I was googling more evidence that it wasn’t a fever dream I made up, I found it! The game was called chaos faction. Fuck I spent a lot of time on that…

I think most of the time when Christianity is depicted Jesus is used, since that’s their distinguishing factor. Islam, Judaism, and Christianity all have the same god capital g.

Wikipedia lists India at #2 in English speakers, behind the US. While a ton, I’m sure most of them would still be using their own Indian sites over a niche of a niche site like Lemmy.

Would it be because most EU countries are using other sites that are in their own language? Idk why I’d visit a predominantly English site if my English wasn’t super proficient. That would just leave the US, UK, and Aus mostly, and the US dwarfs those by quite a bit.

That’s just like your opinion man, I’m having a blast. The performance issues suck but I can live with it since it’s only in the city where I’m just talking to NPCs. Everything else is fun as hell

Denuvo, so no

I’m in love with balatro, but do you think it’s better than slay the spire? I think slay the spire just feels… More of a game than balatro I guess? Maybe I feel that way just because there’s not really a story set up against balatro, and slay the spire at least has you fight an entity that you feel good about.

I can’t beat the goddamn black deck, I don’t know what’s wrong with me 😢

IMPORTANT UPDATE: I have managed to beat the black deck. Vagabond for a lot of death cards, shoot the moon to make those death cards queens, and an early triboulet led me to victory. I wish all fellow balatroers a pleasant evening and a lucky night

Is it $70 somewhere? I got it for $60 on gog and steam says $60 too. Unless you’re Canadian or something

I hate dogging on America’s health care system because it’s already done ad nauseam but I wonder with today’s prices if there’s already a 6 million dollar man out there, with just a fuckton of surgeries done over the years

In another article they post a photo of an example from reddit and it does say promoted next to the post title. So there’s something there because there is an FTC law saying ads must be disclosed. Obviously they want to obfuscate that it’s an ad as much as possible though so who knows how that’ll change.

Googling tall poppy syndrome brings up that it’s mostly a nz/aus thing. I’ve never heard of that in the states. In the wiki article it mentions there’s a Japanese saying that goes “the nail that sticks up gets hammered down,” which I have heard.

I always laugh at, after being in the military and a government employee, things being marketed as military grade. So what, it runs on windows server 2003 and hasn’t been in production for 20 years?
