Was ist Loss?

Dang it I thought they were finally making a modern Battletoads game!

Unless you think “from scratch” sounds nice.

Aww hell yeah that looks nice. Can’t wait to try it out.

How on earth have I never seen a Mr Beast video? YT has never even suggested it that I can remember, and I’ve been on the lookout for a few months ever since I heard about him on–and this is peak irony–the radio.

And that’s why you should get this version instead!

I love getting years of good service from old computers, but I do want to add something: old laptop means old battery, and if they’re not producing the same form factor anymore, then even a replacement battery will probably be old stock that’s been degrading for years. Unfortunately I don’t know what company’s models have the best longevity here in terms of battery form factor.

… as long as they were white.

I was in 6th grade and wanted to know more about computers. I thought being a computer programmer would be a cool job one day. I’d heard Linux was difficult to install and use and thought hey, that’ll help me learn. So I had my parents get me a copy of Mandrake 6. It was perfect because I had the free time to play with it and figure stuff out by making mistakes and fixing them without the pressure of having to do really important work.

I do preach the good word of FOSS, but only to those who are in a position to appreciate the suggestion and benefit from it.

Pointy lad, you

What amazes me is that we pretty much are converting, just very slowly, one thing at a time. In school we all learn the metric system, and it’s used all over in industry and government. At the supermarket, everything is labeled in both systems, and some things have started trending towards metric as the default. We are all used to the 2L bottle size. The old fifth of a gallon bottle, though some still call it that, has been replaced by the 750ml bottle. More recently the 20oz bottle has been phased into the .5L, mainly–I’m sure–to shrink the amount while keeping prices the same, but still it’s progress in this regard.

I think the transformation will be effectively complete when highway signs use kilometers. But I don’t see that happening any time soon.

Sure there are edge cases and whatnot, but just go ahead and move the drive over. If it doesn’t work I’ll buy you a beer.

What? Really? But as a cartoon how does that even work if it’s not ironic? … He asked rhetorically, knowing the right wing humor is basically just incoherent hate.

Thank you for this explanation.

It’s not just about treating current employees well. It’s also about offering enough at the hiring stage to attract more good workers. Higher starting pay and a better reputation as a place to work means more people applying, means that Methface Matt can’t compete with TypeA Teresa to get hired in the first place.

Stephen’s dad, is that you?

My MO is much cheaper. I just throw produce waste into a corner of my back yard and see what starts growing. Right now I’ve got about 10 pumpkin plants taking off like crazy. A jalapeño plant too!

More and more I feel it’s best to think of software as existing in a quantum state of all possible feature/bug combinations. Between updates that can occur on any facet of the software’s intricacies, algorithm quirks, human interventions, and clandestine beta testing on unsuspecting groups of users, who the fuck knows.

Hey that’s cool. I’m late to the party but just in time to wish you a happy lunch. What’re you having?

Dammit!
