I’m about to need some therapy with the computer problems I’m dealing with, I tell you what.

Same thing happened to the Dot Com bubble. The fundamental technology has valid uses, but we’re in the stage where some people are convinced it can be used for literally anything.

Nah, the timeline looks like this:

1. use account on main
2. create backup
3. use account on main
4. account goes missing from main.
5. check backup, account also missing from backup.

Like, it should be in the backup, I proved it was in the original before and after creating the backup. Heck if I know why they went missing.

Dave Grossman is full of shit. This is independent to the potential trauma from killing people (there’s a wide range of reactions to that experience). Dave Grossman is full of shit.

I used to keep a copy of my kepass file in a free Dropbox account.

I switched from keepass to Bitwarden because individual entries started randomly disappearing. I’m still discovering missing accounts after switching a couple of weeks ago. Sometime to do with how keepass was opening the files, because when an entry went missing it was gone even from backup files I hadn’t touched since before the entry disappeared.

I didn’t bother to look it up, that was just my random vague understanding. I’d trust your numbers over mine.

Bro said “maybe” on humans being the source of all this new CO2 as if you can’t just do the math on humanity’s annual CO2 output and watch the atmospheric concentration go up in direct response. They’re downright lying.

Isn’t the LD 50 just over a gram?

“I’m sorry Angel, but I will not be speaking without the advice of my lawyer.”

Nah, some folks got a hold of the wire frames for the sprites from the that version and the previous version and showed most were identical. Of those that weren’t, many were only slightly modified, and clearly not generated from scratch.

That someone better is you. Research is always like that. If you started your project with all the knowledge you gained from doing it, it would only take you two weeks, sure, but the whole point of research is gaining that knowledge and teaching it to other people.

Someone is lying and I have a sneaking suspicion of who it is.

Probably because most people are too lazy to explain that deflation is a bad thing and incredibly hard to get unstuck. The “ideal” scenario is one where inflation stays low and wages outpace it. A small amount of inflation is a way to stop billionaires from sitting on piles of cash. At least with inflation they’re incentivized to spend it on investments, some of which are good for the economy.

Sure thing, here’s an example paper.

It’s not totally vestigial, it helps regulate colon bacteria. People without their appendix take longer to recover from diarrhea, which is important when bad water and spoiled food are a more regular part of your life.

Yes. They had a control group with only black stripes along with an unpainted group. I would have to assume they also checked the paints for potential repellents, but I only skimmed the article.

The two-party system. Regardless of where you live, if it’s under a two-party system, you probably agree that it sucks.

Assuming we’re starting from “choose one” single-winner elections, you need to first switch your elections to Approval Voting. This would make it always safe to vote for your favorite candidate, and the full support for every losing candidate would be reflected in the vote totals. This will weaken the two party system, but no single-winner system can dismantle it.

After that, switch as many single-winner elections to multi-winner as you can (like city council or a legislative district) and use Sequential Proportional Approval Voting to award seats. This will enable minor party candidates to get into office after the major ones, and the seat totals will look a lot closer to the vote totals.

A few places already use approval (Fargo and St. Louis) and a few places are just begging for SPAV (Cincinnati City council).

Good thing I said “removes or negates.”

I’d have to look at numbers to say one way or another. I do know that the bottom of the market is already disproportionately expensive for what it is, but it’s been a while since I learned about that that so I can’t explain it to satisfaction.
