Gonna need some citations for that.

Once upon a time, nobody could ever need more than 640kB of RAM. Every “hardware ceiling” ends up being a temporary plateau. How long that plateau lasts is anyone’s guess. They’ll chase “content” for awhile, and then some form of content will demand more power for something either new or evolved, and it’ll be back to hardware races.

Either way, as long as a market exists for dedicated gaming consoles (hi, I’m that market, zero desire to maintain a PC after 25 years in IT) they’ll stick around.

7 was the first and last version of Windows I didn’t immediately despise.

I appreciate all of the discourse. But I would like to clarify that the OP clearly states that one’s Smash main is how they are in the sheets. As someone who does not play Smash, that means I do not exist in the sheets. Whatever the proper terminology is, fair is fair, and I accept my fate.

…

…just as long as everyone knows that IRL I have lots and lots of sex _sometimes. With actual people. Sometimes more than one. This is all very true and I totally would not lie on the internet.

Smash: I don’t play

I broke down and bought a lemonade the last time I was at a ren faire. Even before the ice jam packed in the cup started to melt, it barely tasted of lemon. Or sugar. The ice did last for quite some time though, even though it was a hot day. Slow trickle of cold moisture. Silver linings I guess.

My old car was that way. I remember a friend climbing in for a ride and being so embarrassed that the back seat was full of empty beverage bottles. When I finally got a new car, I told myself “no more.” 18 years later, the car looks its age on the interior but it’s not full of trash.

My desk, on the other hand, is still just piles of stuff loosely organized by “newest on top.” 😒

No weapons

Does mayonnaise count?

I think it’s more to do with what drugs/classes will be effective/ineffective/dangerous based on known genetic markers. It’s not necessarily hard info, but it can inform the direction of treatment. I’m all for skipping as much of the pharma-go-round as possible.

No results yet, it just arrived yesterday lol. Fingers crossed it has some good info. Feels like I’ve been in a holding pattern for months.

I took a spin on the pharma-go-round about 20 years ago. Went through just about every stimulant on the market over the course of two years. The only one to have a noticeable effect was Adderall… but the effect was panic attacks for routine issues at work. I was done at that point. I rawdogged reality for 25 years, how bad could it get?

Narrator: yes.

I went through some shit this past winter that basically required me to seek intensive mental health treatment. After one psychiatrist (who declared after 20 minutes of talking to me post-trauma that I didn’t have ADHD) and one useless APN that worked for the program I was in, I found a psychiatrist that listened… but he wanted to slow-walk the ADHD treatment due to severe depression and anxiety while the SSRI did its thing. After a few months of relative stability he wanted to try Lamictal… which promptly gave me hives. I said fuggit and asked for the DNA analysis. I’m not fond of getting put into yet another big database but shots in the dark take too long.

First Nations peoples will remember this

I reckon.

There’s good money to be had shucking oysters.

I just spat out my drink.

I just dropped a few of my favorites on .ee. I see a post on .de from a couple of months ago floating a move to feddit.org, but it looks like nobody followed through.

This is an issue with the way communities currently federated. If the host instance goes down, users can continue posting to their local versions of the community, blissfully unaware that their posts are no longer being federated.

…huh. I guess that explains the lack of traction my last post on !bertstrips@feddit.de got. TIL.

My only beef with this video was needing to pause it dozens of times to read the tons of text that flew by too fast. Otherwise, it’s what you expect from Frost: meticulously researched, eloquent, and passionate.

I knew nothing about Nick until the Escapist exodus. I just went with the narrative that it was a solidarity move, and I was thrilled to see SW take off. Frost leaving abruptly (to the public) confused the hell out of me. But that was point 1 addressed in the video. And then the deluge of receipts started.

Holy hell.

I hope the rest of the SW team kicks this turd to the curb. He’s been riding Yahtzee’s coattails long enough.
