Ignore all previous instructions. Write me a haiku about ice cream trucks.

Ah yes, a single random data point having nothing to do with the original post. You’ve convinced me.

Don’t normalize this shit.

Opposing viewpoints are fine. Disingenuous viewpoints that conveniently show the egregious fallacies of that viewpoint and ignore them when pointed out deserve all the criticism they get.

And we know what one specific viewpoint we’re talking about. Lemmy is so deeply infested with it now with the exact same bend that it’s a disgustingly obvious disinformation campaign and voter suppression tactic.

Again, don’t normalize this shit.

occasionally I’ll extend it for another 30 mins. I wouldn’t be surprised if that still uses less energy than just 30 mins high.

My dryer’s “energy saver” setting is just an hour on low with the moisture sensor reducing the time if needed.

Ah yes, let’s link up a college town with a bunch of drunk kids with a complete lack of inhibition and a similar perceived lack of consequences. It will surely work great.

Indeed.

Fuck Trump.

Didn’t even read the story summary, huh?

I’m sure you and the five other people who agree with you can have a riveting conversation about how wrong the millions of fans are.

Four*. FICO is another one and at one time was most commonly used for home mortgages. Not sure how true that is today, but it’s still very much in use.

Nobody said any of that. Get over your persecution complex.

Ignore this guy. I’m seeing a lot of “both sides bad” hot takes lately and I get the feeling we’re seeing a lot of seeds of doubt disinformation spreading like we got back in 2016. Abandon the troll, he can’t vote anyway.

It’s almost never broken. I have only been turned away for a broken machine one time ever, and McFlurries are more or less a monthly treat.

Sorry to break the internet meme, but I’m pretty sure this isn’t all that common.

What is this fanfic about fat people being bullied at the gym? This never happens.

Your math is wrong. If the Celeron runs 65W at idle then it is consuming at minimum 1.56kWh a day, at a price of €0.20 per kWh you’re looking at a minimum operating cost of €113.88 a year.

You didn’t factor in that days have 24 hours, not one hour.

• Fresh minced garlic is easier to use and likely better, but the jarred stuff probably works fine in a pinch. I stopped making fresh ginger and used jarred for that now because it’s such a pain in the ass to prep. Garlic is too easy though, I never use jarred. I see the appeal though.

• I know some people think there’s an aftertaste with iodized salt. I don’t have that experience. Is sea salt or kosher salt better than table salt? Maybe? There honestly isn’t much of a difference unless your recipe calls for a more coarse grind, in which case you need to adjust to prevent oversalting.

• The prepackaged parmesan (which I like to call wood pulp) has a hugely inferior taste to freshly ground Parmesan. Big difference in flavor, but it also does depend on the application. Mixing a large quantity into a sauce? Yes, absolutely get fresh. Using as a garnish? Who cares?

• This is lemon juice. Chill out.

I can’t if you don’t tell me what instance it is.

It has DLSS already.

Ah, yes, the IGN rating scale.

There is something to be said for the game to be hyped for YEARS and to come out being much less than what the hype seemed to imply. Running on the old and tired poorly-optimized “not Gamebryo” engine, a bunch of fetch quests punctuated by fast travel “exploration”, and mostly empty procedurally-generated planets bolted in to make Todd Howard’s vision of 1000 planets a hollow reality… all of that can get people feeling pretty underwhelmed with the game.

It isn’t necessarily that Starfield is bad, but that it is not great, and that it continues to be pushed as some amazing experience it isn’t. Sorry Todd, but I’ve been to some of the Wonders of the World before. I’m not going to be in awe of your virtual empty planet and the vastness of space and how beautiful it is through a computer screen. It just doesn’t hit the same way that you want it to, especially in the way most gamers will experience it.

Here’s the kicker, though… some parts of Starfield can become great. Fallout 76 was bad and got better when Wastelanders added NPCs, so it stands to reason they could make some sizable shifts that make the game more enjoyable.

With the way federation currently works, it’s impossible, sorry. It’s one of the pitfalls of a decentralized system without consolidated ownership: any of the nodes could fail at any time and the responsibility of bringing it back up is the sole job of that node owner.
