Here’s a documentary about the monkeys: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IkLeto3RZrk

How are they a gatekeeper? Near monopoly sure. But they don’t force companies to only publish on Steam. They don’t have restrictive rules. I’m not sure what gate they are keeping.

That’s fun. I tested positive for ecoli last week and live in Colorado. Nothing to do with McDonalds tho. Got it from a recent overseas trip.

This isn’t new, at all. They’re just being more transparent about it. It feels shitty that transparency is met by outrage stemming from ignorance. Just buy from GoG.

Yep that one exists. I’m currently working on the 10 year achievement in Stanley Parable Deluxe. It’s good to have long-term concrete goals.

For future reference, you can update LG TVs via USB so you can avoid connecting it to a network.

Oh, you get soda directly plumbed into your house?

If your tap doesn’t work, large refillable bottles. In the US, there are services that deliver them and some grocery stores offer it.

Yea I agree $40k is a bit disingenuous. But the cost of a car is more than the car itself. It’s better to view it as a ongoing expense of fuel, insurance, maintenance, etc. AAA estimates between 7-10k a year. https://www.aaa.com/autorepair/articles/average-annual-cost-of-new-vehicle-ownership

I got it for free with a CPU I bought. Played roughly 3 hours before I stopped. It was just too boring.

As with pretty much any staple food. It’s used as a filler. The reason you might not understand is that it can be expensive to eat only meat, veggies, etc. A cheap staple like rice, noodles, or bread is a good way not to die of starvation or at the least keep some money in your pocket.

If a staple food isn’t part of your daily diet, that speaks a bit of privilege on your economic position.

Also I enjoy rice. It’s neutral tasting but with a tiny bit of seasoning it’s good.

Exchange contact info with someone after the accident then that someone is extremely petty. That’s my guess.

Considering the entire 200+ years, the US is considerably less evil. Is there room for improvement? Yes.

Honestly not that stupid. I have seen SD cards break. And for certain applications, like professional photography, having a more physically reliable medium is a good thing.

But I think cameras with dual SD cards for redundancy are more important.

Aspartame has about the same amount of calories as sugar (4kcal per gram). But it’s much more sweet so you need very little of it. So there is a very tiny amount of sweetener which does contain calories but it’s rounded down to 0.

Any Paradox game. Oxygen Not Included. Factorio. Civilization. Rimworld. Dwarf Fortress. The list goes on.

For me I think it’s about having non-stop and parallel mini problems/puzzles/goals. By the time one task is finished. There’s two more to take its place.

That doesn’t make sense depending on the context. New I2C standard switched to controller/target for example. This conveys that one device is controlling the other devices.

A well insulated freezer that never opens would use very little power once it’s already cooled. The impressive bit of this comic would be large thin pieces of glass providing enough insulation.
