For what it's worth for anyone finding this post later, uninstalling and reinstalling the game fixed this for me.

Hmm, just tried restarting my PC, no dice. It's 100% percent of dialogue for me, not just some of the time. Guess I'll try the old uninstall/reinstall.

Sure, but don't let that stop you from insulting him. The activity is its own reward.

Parallel worlds/multiverses. I hate them because it removes all stakes or consequences from the events of a story. Character died? Bring in a new version from another world. Inconvenient thing happened? Move to a world where it never happened. Nothing matters, nothing is canon, everything is reversible.

I wouldn't say it's great even there. If you want people to pay 20% more for their food so your workers can get paid, just list that on the menu. Raise all food prices 20% and pay the wait staff a decent wage. Customers pay the same in the end and your staff isn't dependent on customer generosity to make a living.

I'm going to buck the trend here and advise the more conservative position. I took a developer job in the insurance industry right out of college, and I have no regrets. The work is rarely exciting, but it's stable and not very demanding. I have great work life balance. And developer jobs in non tech related industries seem to be largely immune to the upheavals and layoffs currently affecting the tech world.

High rates of gun ownership is neither a necessary nor sufficient condition for high rates of homicide. "Necessary" would imply that high homicide rate is flat out impossible without high gun ownership, which is clearly not true.

Twice the refresh rate means twice the frames, so I'm twice as productive.

Or at any rate, that's what I'm telling my job to try to get them to buy me a high spec gaming monitor.

Excuse me, I think you underestimate the ability of my everyday life to drive me toward madness and death. I don't need an eldritch horror/god to help me with that.

Is it though? My understanding is that a murder charge requires intent to cause harm. Causing death without intent would be manslaughter. If someone is out of their mind in a panic attack and tries to shut down the plane so he could get to the ground, it would hard to prove he intended harm to the other passengers. They probably weren't even in his thoughts.

Not a lawyer though, my understanding could be flawed.

Honestly, he's an idiot and he certainly won't get my vote, but I can't even be mad about him running. I'm just glad to see a ballot with more than two relevant people on it. Sick and tired of choosing between "dumbass with a D next to his name" and "more dangerous dumbass with an R next to his name".

Depends on the game, but I usually sort my player inventories by item purpose. Items that never leave the inventory (quest items, alternative gear, etc) at the top, then potions/food, then ammunition, then whatever random loot I'm picking up.

As far as Valheim goes, I actually really enjoy building highly organized dedicated storage rooms with for all my loot. My brain makes the good chemicals when I go into the storage closet and see my neatly labeled chests (now why won't it do that in real life?). It's worth noting that the chest size issue gets much, much better further on in the game. You go from 10 items per chest to 24 when you get access to iron, and 32 with black metal.
