I didn’t even say hello…

Real patriots use longer passwords!

Since there are dozens of people including Vance, yes it is worse than just one person.

Who she compromised and their current positions in the administration.

I thought the point is that anon realized they were the one who was turning opportunities down, and accepting an opportunity where success seemed to be likely would have been the turning point.

Hardcoding has nothing to do with whether or not the filter can be disabled.

Coding it so that it does the thing with no option to turn it off is literally what hardcoding means.

For those that don’t know:

PC = Printer Cartridge (the place where you put ink or paper for it to use)

Letter = 8 1/2 x 11 inch letter sized paper, which is similar to A4

So the message means to load letter sized paper in the printer cartridge, because the sensor says it is empty.

The fact that they didn’t look at it and see a cartoon character is the best part! They literally didn’t have anyone around them who were competent enough to see this and think ‘hey, that looks like a cartoon character, maybe we should look into that instead of starting a panic’.

Someone providing you information showing your assumptions were incorrect in a straightforward and neutral manner is not dunking on you.

Can’t decide if I should make a French onion soup joke or if I should call her.

Dividing my thirds sucks.

Base 12 ftw

The whole safety monitor idea has been stupid from the start. Not being the one driving slows reactions because you have to figure out if the car is going to do something stupid and then react. Sure, having someone who can’t stop it from getting worse is helpful in the long run, but odds are low a human can prevent the initial collision.

It is a good write up, but I have a 90+% success rate of easy peeling starting with cold water on an electric stove and then putting them in an ice bath.

Water from the tap, put eggs in and set to high. When it starts a rolling boil turn off the heat and put the lid on, start a timer, but don’t move the pot. This will cause it to continue boiling for a a few more minutes.

At 11 minutes after putting the lid on I run cold water into the pot to bring down the water temp so I can fish out the eggs. When tolerable I put them in an ice bath and leave them there for about 10 minute or so. When doing it this way I only get one or maybe two in a dozen that is hard to peel by just hitting it on a firm surface and then using fingers to pull shell off sideways.

I had much worse results before the ice bath, and I didn’t change anything else.

They are also designed to be reclined when in use, not upright, which is horrible for working with a computer.

Sewing/mending and other forms of repairing worn items.

When you add up people’s time to design and test, absolutely. Could have crossed $100,000 and it would be a teaspnable cost. Wouldn’t want to half ass a space poop bag.

This how it works in any business, R&D is high but businesses tend to spead that cost out per item when massproducted. One off or limited uses are always far more than mass production.

It is entirely subjective of course.

When I can be entirely focused on a game and interacting with the game or things that happen don’t break that focus. Sometimes this can mean confortable controls, worlds that have natural barriers, and options to interact that cover what I am trying to do.

Limitations on interactions, characters being inconsistent, and finding it hard to do the things that I feel should be possible in the game are immersion breaking or may even keep me from being immersed. Introductions that are obviously telling you how the game works are not immersive, but if they feel like part of the game they can be immersive.

Helldivers 2’s boot camp is immersive because it feels like things you do in boot camp with a healing dose of in world propaganda. Expedition 33’s into was immersive because it was doing in workd things and barriers didn’t stand out even if the pathing was obviously restricted for game reasons because things were happening! Both games continue to be immersive, but they are also examples of games that are immersive from the first moment the game starts and they keep it up from then on.

Assuming they are not doing some kind of smug petty explaining they know I already know and there is plenty of time available, I will listen to see if there is something I don’t know about or whether they have any gaps that I could fill in. I mean, talking about things one already knows about is really common.

If they are smugsplaining something I will just cut them off and move the conversation along. If there isn’t time I will say that I am familiar with the topic and ask if they could focus on the relevant parts.

Oh shit, this is going to be painful.

The five year retention bonus will never be paid out because they will all be fired in four years and replaced with a more formal military occupation force.
