I do it AFTER the rambling story.

“….. short story long, (insert tl;dr verbally)”

It’s like “and then I found 5 dollars”

Please explain why you don’t open powershell and run cmd.exe instead of running bash? This is a strange workaround and doesn’t really make sense.

She’s not wrong though… people are complicated. Math… well, at that age? Math is easy.

Ironically, in the hands of an experienced practitioner, the pullout method is very effective at preventing pregnancy.

The problem comes when it’s a kid trying it for the first time having sex, or someone not in full control of their facilities towards the end of sex. Easy to get caught up and “forget” if you’re having a good time.

While it certainly isn’t news to us today, every additional observation that supports a theory is valuable, especially for theories about deep-rooted and hard-to-prove causality.

We can’t just go out traumatizing children “for science” to find out what the incident rate of mental health as it relates to different traumas.

Ryujinx works well, but not as well as yuzu, and doesn’t seem to be a target of takedowns

I haven’t tested those myself, but wine has excellent 32 bit compatibility in general. If it’s on the list at wine hq, then it probably works

Thanks! The first link was a useful summary, and I’ll look at the others when I have more time!

As a rehabilitated Eve addict, I can tell you that it’s a lot of addiction. MMOs are about two things: people and gameplay.

In Eve, the PvE gameplay is awful. But the PvP is amazing and the people are amazing. Even though I haven’t logged in in years, I still talk to these people regularly. Like once or twice a month.

While they’re not my closest friends, I genuinely know them and feel I can share anything I need to get off my chest in a safe place that will hear and respond. Picking a good group of people in a game can make or break your experience.

After that, 10,000 hours of online social time doesn’t seem so bad compared to the alternative of being alone and still playing games.

Is it good for you? Absolutely not. But hopefully that puts some perspective on MMOs.

Anybody got a link for a good explanation of this for someone whose knowledge of micro bio is 12 years out of date?

You’re taking about data rates here, measured in bits per second.

Data caps have to do with the total amount of data you are allocated over a longer period of time. Usually per month. In the case of Comcast, it’s 1.5 TB/month.

If the customer exceeds that allotment during the month, they will be charged an additional “overage fee” per arbitrary unit, usually by the gigabyte.

It has nothing to do with the speed they advertise on a line, but rather a way to charge “heavy users” more.
