15 is affordable by me. Highest I’ve seen is $33 for a 4 pack. Might as well just go out to a bar at that point.

Some of them feel like they are almost worth the expense. Founders makes some amazing beer of all varieties, and the Goose Island Bourbon County stouts are all phenomenal… But then there’s shit like Southern Tier trying to sell yet another stupid twist on a flavor nobody has ever done for $5 more than last year’s variety. It’s just pointless to engage in it now. Better off enjoying cheap wine.

The culture around beer shifted from cheap low alcohol content drinks with little variation, to more expensive high alcohol content drinks with a ton of variation. Then, as with anything that hits a “trend”, the market tries to capitalize on it beyond what demand actually cares to express, and prices go so far through the roof that nobody gives a shit anymore.

Nobody that was already drinking cares about the health issues (or at least they didn’t just suddenly change out of the blue). They just got a taste for something that gradually got priced out. If you got your taste for beers on fancy 10%ABV stouts that now cost $7 a can/bottle, you aren’t going to just buy whatever is now in your price range. You just stop buying beer, and get other shit.

I doubt it more due to the frequency of guinea pig shits. Unless they’ve been genetically modified since my childhood to poop less often, I could not envision a world where that keyboard does not have crap under the keys after the first response.

Their solution to a problem is to pretend like it doesn’t exist simply because it will go away in the future? It’s a reason, but it isn’t a good one.

Gnome does some questionable things, and some are just personal preference, but there is at least one thing that they do that makes zero sense regardless of how you use your system…

The AppIndicator extension SHOULD be default. There is no reason for it to be an extension other than pure stubbornness. There are applications that literally require it in order to function at all.

“Creativity” was actually just a poor translation. What they meant to say was “enhanced legal department”. Easy mistake.

The whole point of doing a separate partition for your home directory is to do just that… The fuck is this even supposed to mean.

I prefer to buy it, use it for a few days, and then return it as defective. Not my problem that they accept any and all returns for completely bs reasons. Who needs “sales” if you’re just getting your money back anyway.

And yes I know that this fucks over the seller more than Amazon itself, but ultimately there’s fuck all that I can do to hurt Amazon. I might as well get something out of it if they’re going to own the world.

Too late. It’s out there somewhere.

All of this anticheat bs is still making the baseline assumption that the problem needs to be solved at the expense of the players.

It’s illegal to steal someone else’s property. We don’t enforce that law by cutting off everyone’s hands preemptively so that there is less demand on police to solve a problem that hasn’t happened yet…

If people are assholes and go against the wishes of society, you police and moderate them. If they can’t moderate their platform, that isn’t the fault of the community - it’s a failing of the corporation. It’s such a ridiculous mindset. It’s a fucking video game…

Didn’t calculate the price by weight. Just took the number from the 6" cube here and extrapolated from that since it was the easiest math.

The 5’ cube is 1000 times the size of the 6" cube and the 6" cube is $15k. The prices don’t scale up linearly though. The smaller cubes are better value by weight.

Assuming that’s about 5x5’, and going by the price of the first tungsten cube found on Google, this would be worth about 15 million dollars. Decent prize of you could move 150,000lb.

99% of the time you can just spoof the user agent and it’ll work perfectly fine. They only restrict it because they won’t hire enough developers to provide support for multiple browsers.

Honestly, it never got big enough for that to even matter. It just lost the content war to the PS2 Xbox and GameCube. Shenmue, Jet Set Radio and Sonic Adventure aren’t exactly enough great exclusives to justify buying the non-Halo machine or the console built by the company that “won” the previous generation.

AI coding assistance is good for the same stuff you would have put through a tool assisted service previously anyway. Regex and other forms of complex pattern matching are way easier for a computer than a human. The only difference now is that you can just write out the problem plainly instead of in tiny chunks.

I recently had to write a script to parse an nginx log for unique entries with very specific criteria that could vary depending on other criteria, and then do some crap to manipulate that data and use portions of it for API calls to other more complicated shit. Figuring out how to properly parse that data manually would be mind numbing. AI does it instantly.

That’s not to say that the entire concept as a marketing ploy isn’t complete bullshit, but if it were just used for the crap it’s good at, it would actually be a net benefit to society.

You underestimate the capacity for corporate pettiness

Less than half, but let’s be honest here. It’s because she has more money than him : P

People still unironically use chrome?

Rolling releases for issues with newer hardware and the AUR. That’s really all there is to it. There are plenty of ways to be “unique”, but at the the of the day, nobody else is ever really going to care.

If I bought myself a 6 year old Thinkpad, I’d put Mint over Arch on it in a heartbeat. For the desktop that’s constantly upgrading, it gets Arch because it has the fastest releases and biggest community to troubleshoot stuff.
