They are great for ambient noise based on the surroundings. You can also do one or two ‘instant’ sounds like a large door booming. Any more than that and it starts to feel like a radio dj testing all the fart sounds in their mixer.

That last line is one reason we’re able to fish successfully. Even large fish tire out because they can’t pull enough oxygen from the water to struggle forever.

Great game. I like that you aren’t generally allowed to talk, so everyone ends up with their own conflicting plans.

I Think You Should Leave is such a gold mine of meme templates.

That looks great. How did get such good adhesion? My bed is super uneven so I switched to glass and had incredible results, but I have to babysit the first few layers because 50% of the prints are wrapped around the nozzle by the end.

I had to preheat for 20 minutes when I was using a glass bed. Took ages but the results were so smooth.

The trouble is that Management’s only job seems to be turning their problems into our problems. Or maybe it’s just the only thing they’re good at.

Works in Jerboa.

Hatchet was such a powerful book when I was a kid. I bet it still holds up, so maybe I should reread it soon.

This is universally the phone your teen sister has when you visit home over the holiday.

He narrates the Minecraft audiobooks my kid listens to as well.

Put it in VR and it reminds me of the Community episode:

“Jesus wept!”

Any mod recommendations for a 5 year old? He’s got a laptop with Debian on it and I’d like to set him up with MineTest, but I’m not sure he can handle the full MineClonia experience.

I used to think like the OP/image, but now I’m in your camp. You should absolutely eat things you don’t enjoy if they are good for you. But bad pizza crust is just punishing your mouth while gaining weight.

I understand the food waste argument, but it’s wasted whether you eat it or not. You’re wasting just as much if you don’t eat the peel of the banana.

Making your own meaning is Existentialism talk! Embrace the lack of meaning!

I used to write extensively with C++, but it has been a long time since speed mattered that much to one of my applications. I still marvel at the cache-level optimizations some people come up with, but I’m in the same mindset as you now.

My workload split of Data Movement vs Data Transformation is like 95:5 these days, which means almost all the optimizations I do are changing batch/cache/page/filter settings. I can do that in any language with http bindings, so I choose those that are faster to write.

This is what I’ve seen too. Directors come back from a conference and suddenly we’re learning a newer but objectively worse system. Obviously the grunts using the systems aren’t consulted, but are expected to be team players through this educational experience.

The Blood Machines OST is my favorite album of any genre, and I’ve never even seen the movie.

It was definitely considered piracy by the public at the time. Everyone I knew called it a “legal grey area”, but as far as I know it was legally permissable.

The media companies tried their hardest to make it sound like you were destroying the entire industry and you’d go to jail for life as soon as they caught you.

What makes me mad is the boomers I watched copy rentals and NFL games are the same ones telling me I’m stealing by using an ad blocker.
