When was it decided that parents can do absolutely nothing wrong regarding their kids so that intrusive bullshit like this had to be introduced? Who in their right mind would upload their ID or face pic to some rando porn site to verify an age? It’s like Internet Security 101 to not do that ever.
I had a sour taste in my mouth when signing Stop Killing Games because it required my full legal name and address even tho I understand that they need to verify my eligibility to vote and I trust them way more than I trust a for-profit porn site. It’s just not something I usually do on principle.

You know who else curtails developer choice by setting arbitrary deadlines and pushing for aggressive monetization? Game publishers. Pretty sure the devs don’t want their game to be universally hated for lootboxes and bugs.

The figure you’ve linked plots concentration by weight (wt.%), while the alcohol content of drinks is usually given in volume percent (v/v). Ethanol is less dense than water, so a 30% concentration by weight is a higher concentration by volume.
Imagine a 100g solution of 30wt.% alcohol. That means that 30g are ethanol and 70% are water. the 70g of water translate to 70ml volume (density 1g/ml) and the 30g of ethanol translate to 30/0.789 = 38.02ml. So in total, you would have 108.02ml of liquid and the concentration of ethanol by volume would be 38.02/108.02 = 35.2%.
Why it gets wacky at the end: Ethanol freezes at -114°C, water freezes at 0°C, but at specific concentrations, the eutectic composition, the solution freezes at a lower point than either of its constituents. The eutectic point is the lowest possible freezing point of a solution. The formula I gave is not applicable to eutectic solutions and is an approximation based on perfect solutions (which in reality don’t really exist).

Whoops. Well I forgot to account for sugar and other stuff which decrease freezing temperature as well, so the result might still be around right. It’s an ok ballpark at least. Precisely calculating a solutions freezing temperature when it has that many different solubles is pretty hard.

Yeah, that’s how it is here as well, so these Jägersicles look fake.

Here is a scenario that actually happened, you’ll be the judge:
Person A is someone who, to their own admission, wanted to be friends. I know them over persons B and C, long-time friends of mine, A is very close to B. I invite A to a BBQ at my place that B and C are attending as well, they leave me on read, but tell C they’ll come, so when speaking to C shortly before the BBQ, I get told that A is coming as well. A then asks if they can come too even tho I already know they planned to come. I brush it off as bad communication.
Next month, pretty much the same situation. I invite A, this time telling them that they should drop a yes/no so I can plan for food. Get left on read again. At the day before the BBQ, I ask again if they’ll come, they say no. Next day A asks if they could come despite saying no, okay well whatever. Anyway B and C arrive first and they know that A is coming too. They were told a week ago, I had no idea. Got me pissed, I text A and ask what the fuck their deal is and now suddenly I am the clingy bad guy. B remains neutral, C takes the side of A telling me, it was my fault that it didn’t work out and that A was simply trying to surprise me.

Where in OP’s post was this mentioned?
Nowhere, to be fair. The meme just struck a nerve with a past experience of mine and it hurt. My bad.

If getting messaged once a week or so to ask if you wanna hang is “smothering” and “risk pushing” you away, then maybe, just maybe, the problem is not the dude messaging.
It’s not a tightrope walk, a friendship is built on mutual respect. Feeling left out and lonely because there is no reciprocation whatsoever is normal. Calling this OP’s fault is extremely toxic, holy shit.

Proton is a big deal for the change. Think back 5 years ago and switching to Linux was much less approachable because you needed to be an enthusiast to get your games running. Nowadays, you just click download on the Linux Steam client and >90% of the time, it’ll just work.

Some experiment whether test scores are influenced by surroundings. Dude did a test solo, surrounded by only boys, only girls and this. He scored comparably in all tests.

Let me translate:
Techbro companies jam “AI” into absolutely everything because they still haven’t figured out what it’s good for and need to explain to their shareholders why they wasted so much fucking money on such a useless piece of shit. They are hoping that the hype they created will drive sales and they will succeed because the only thing dumber than chatGPT is a human.

Thing is that Schrödinger would never put a cat in a box to test his thought experiment because Schrödinger knows that macroscopic object don’t really follow quantum mechanics because of decoherence.

The workers at my local gas station go outside of the shop to smoke. I once asked them if that weren’t dangerous and they said they have a ventilation system that pushes the vapors out the other way and that it’s fine to smoke here (it’s still disallowed as per house rules but they don’t really care)
