If anyone has doubts about this, here is a good science-based explanation of why beer can chicken is more myth than fact:

Which of course is stupid, because USPS is actually great and provides a much better and more reliable service than any private competitor even in its current underfunded state.

Came here to say this one. It's been ~30 years and there still isn't another game that quite hits in the same way. The perfect combination of jrpg, weirdness, emotion, humor, horror/dread, and lightheartedness. Earthbound has it all.

I agree but I'll take it a step further. I've been in IT for almost 20 years. I never took a math class after high school (age 18). I took math up through calc 2 in high school.

I've never used a single lick of anything beyond basic math for my work. None. And I don't know anyone else who has either over the course of 4 different employers and working with hundreds of people.

In my opinion it's the logical thinking and the process of problem solving that are the parts of math that translate to IT. Doing proofs, understanding all the reasons why something is the way that it is. So in that regard sure, math is important. But I feel like OP is implying that actually knowing how to do complex math problems is important for a career in IT, and it really isn't.

Is it wrong to buy my kids "read banned books" shirts?

Joking, but only sort of. I'm so irritated that this is the world they are growing up in. That I'm going to have to have conversations with them about why people are trying to restrict what they can learn based on bigotry and why that is wrong. There are so many other things they could be worrying about, I hate that we have this as an additional and completely unnecessary distraction.

Completely understand Scholastic's move here. It's unfortunate in a vacuum but on the other hand I'm very glad they aren't simply dropping these titles entirely.

This is how my wife and I are, as well. It really is exhausting.

I think some of it is a level of social anxiety. Some of it is this feeling of not wanting to "waste" our time (even though we understand rationally that doing nothing is usually the more objective waste). Some of it is a constant feeling of exhaustion, and a fear that whatever thing we are planned for will result in us feeling even more exhausted. And maybe part of it is simply depression.

I don't know, but it's not a super healthy-feeling way to go through life, that's for sure.

If we are trying to dig into the root cause? Then yes, honestly. It is Google. And don't call them the "search engine guys", that's not what they are about. They are the "mass aggregation and correlation of user data guys". Search has been a means to an end for Google for a very long time.

All those other things didn't exist when google was developing their model. Google paved the way for the internet no longer being free, but being "free" with payment rendered in the form of user data. That in turn directly led to all those other evils you referred to. It is not an exaggeration to imply that Google is ultimately at fault for the way the internet functions today.

There's already been a new flavor of coke developed and allegedly chosen by AI. If that's not some kind of singularity moment, I don't know what is.

Yes ranked choice would be a huge benefit for many reasons.

Ok but the two party system is why he can be a spoiler. He might be a dickhead, but he isn't wrong that our first-past-the -post election system (which begets two party races) is a huge problem.

This game looks roughly equivalent to TW3 because it is roughly contemporary with TW3. (2015 vs 2017). HZD was well known for being a very pretty game in motion when it came out, though this video doesn't really do it justice to be honest.

I imagine the point of the video is seeing the framerates on mobile hardware in Linux.

"The postal service is losing money!"

No, the postal service costs money. It's a service. It doesn't aim to make a profit. It costs money, and we are in turn rendered a service that is useful.

I swear people are delusional.
