Bah, that’s nothing compared to “driving along and then waiting ages behind a parked car to let an oncoming car through, then they don’t wave to thank you”.

That sums up my experience too, but I have found it good for discussing functions for SQL and Powershell. Sometimes, it’ll throw something into its garbage code and I’ll be like “what does this do?” It’ll explain how it’s supposed to work, I’ll then work out its correct usage and solve my problem. Weirdly, it’s almost MORE helpful than if it just gave me functional code, because I have to learn how to properly use it rather than just copy/paste what it gives me.

Hot.

Absolutely agree with you, it’s about finding that value curve, where quality scales well with price. Say the cheapest ‘something’ is $10, the $20 one is twice as good, the $40 is maybe 70% better again but the $80 might only be 10% better than that.

As a beginner, I’d go for maybe the $20 option or the $40 if I were confident I’d stick with it. But yeah, it’s a pain when your ability to enjoy or succeed at a hobby is hampered by buying the cheapest option off AliExpress, haha.

It’s not perfect but PiHole will still catch a lot of the ads if you have the know-how to set one up. Tis a relatively cheap and easy solution that has the benefit of being able to block ads network-wide, providing your router lets you set a custom DNS.

Ima just masturbate in the morning, checkmate.

I was absolutely obsessed with SR2 as a kid, replayed it so many times.

I think they could and absolutely should reboot it. The lore, the characters, the world was really something else. I think if they were to revisit it and utilise modern advances to really go HARD on the atmosphere and world design, it could be amazing.

The Dead Space remake is a perfect example of this. It’s stayed mostly true to the original and used the new graphical and lighting technology available to make the environment and atmosphere so much deeper and more immersive. I’ve heard the RE4 remake also did it well but I’ve not played it yet.

The geofencing thing feels like something Apple could easily resolve. When they review an app, they should just randomly spoof their location.

My favourite alt text on Lemmy

Holy fuck, I have no idea what they were on before but 31% is monumental! Good for them :)

These orbs won’t ponder themselves and there’s nothing sadder than an un-pondered orb

SUPEEER MEAT BOOOOY!

I wasn’t aware this existed, very cool!

One thing I would say is Bluetooth is inherently laggy, though low-latency codecs help a lot.

If you have issues with latency again, I’d recommend buying a pair of RF headphones instead. Radio is super low latency. Downside is that the guitar would need to be wired to an RF transmitter but it’s an option.

The alt text is the real winner here. “It is a whimsical rainbow tampon she is extracting from herself.” Is one of the finest combinations of words I’ve ever witnessed.

Gotta be my favourite Primus song of all time and the music video is just a goddamn masterpiece 👌

It depends on the account for me but I’ve got a couple slow ones. Naturally, one of them is the one I use for all my 2FA, rendering my accounts impenetrable, even to me.

The other slow one is the one I use for the 2FA for the first email account. The most secure system there is!

Zack, Lyle and the bois, always bringing the funnies 👌

Hell yeah, maximum parenting 💪 barely saw my dad when I was a kid, always away on business. I work 100% remote since my first kid was born, get to spend all day every day with my kids now, never going back.

1. Wait at bus stop for 20 minutes
2. Light cigarette
3. Bus will immediately appear

Isn’t everything?

Show me the champion of liiiiiiiiiight!

.7z gang, represent

Seconded, Puppy is super lightweight and easy to get on with, definitely worth a try.

Well, well, well, if it isn’t fat, Armenian Corey “Spazkid” Delaminguez….

“Hey Corey, Sonic the hedgehog here!”

Getting high, loading up Doom and setting pi to e is now on my to-do list

Sounds like you never skip toe day 💪

Yeah, but when they DO have their own shit going on, they know they can share it with you to halve their own sorrow. It’s a two-way street, amigo :)

The Thing absolutely makes my list, favourite horror of all time.

But my list also includes Scott Pilgrim, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, Kung Pow and Blues Brothers, so maybe take my opinion with a grain of salt.

Oh, also Dredd and In Bruges, they’re perfect movies, change my mind.

I watched this video yesterday but I can’t remember it because I have amneeeeeesia

Caught these guys a few years back in a tiny venue in Reading with Hoobastank and POD, nostalgia overload! So glad they’re still going, love AAF. “These Days” is still a daily-driver for me.

Anyone wondering why they dropped off the map at the peak of their popularity, their tourbus crashed and their vocalist, Dryden broke his neck, taking years to recover, really sad :(

Stoke me a clipper, I’ll be back for Christmas!

Ah yes, chemical X, the perfect combination of lead, Teflon and microplastics 💪

Exactly, this’ll limit the exposure to them in things you wouldn’t expect them to be on/in. You can avoid Teflon pans and go iron or steel but the amount of stuff coated in PFAS is ridiculous. Hell, even sofas, rugs, blinds, etc all sorts of stuff. And before anyone says “you don’t eat that stuff”, try telling my toddlers that! I bought a black milk frothing jug for my espresso machine. The black coating? Teflon. Not mentioned anywhere, not even marketed as non-stick.

r/Titanfall would beg to disagree! Game was sick 6 years ago (7 actually) and is sick now (when the servers work)

Same, recently got my 20 year Steam badge. I can feel my body aging around me.

I’ll have you know that I wrote a semi-functional webpage in HTML when I was in college 😎

This is me and my fingers after scratching my balls 👌

Mate, same! Town I used to live, I couldn’t walk from one end of town to the other without picking up a a dozen acquaintances on the way. Made it really difficult to spend quality time with my closest friends.

So, when we got older, me and my entire inner circle all got houses in a different town where nobody knew us! It’s blissful not having to stop to talk to people every 30 seconds.

Personally, I always loved the classic, side-on Mario games and thought the new features of this looked fun, but the best feature was the fact Nabbit and Yoshi don’t take damage. My 4 year old is autistic and wants to play video games with me but struggles. This allowed us to get through the levels together and he was so happy ^_^ btw, they still die from falling, it still took a LOT of lives, haha.

I don’t know how many others bought it to play with their younger kids but it worked for me!
