- Comment on If Valve creates an "entry point" for living room PCs, the console-beating Steam Machines will follow, argues Baldur's Gate 3's publishing director 2 weeks ago:
But what you’re saying is that it is to provide people with an alternative path from windows.
Even if the steam machine had windows on it, the majority of the same people would buy it.
My point is very few people are going to buy the steam machine to get away from windows
“Steam says this works for everything I own” Purchased no matter what.
Not “I want a new PC without windows, let me try out the new steam machine”

I agree with you.
But my point is someone that bought a W10 pre-built computer is not the person looking at the steam machine saying “Maybe a different operating system would improve my experience”

Yes it does but you only get put in a crossplay lobby if your party is mixed.
On top of going against m/kb players, aim assist for controller is turned off.
It’s really not that enjoyable and highlights why controllers and m/kb shouldn’t be mixed.
It’s like talking a snowboard to a ski jump contest. Snowboards are fun and can do a lot of different things than skis. And in a contest where everyone is snowboarding it’s great. But you’ll never win a jumping contest.

Ehh
I feel like most people that really care about their operating system are more than likely going to build a PC
Most people buying a pre-built device are like Apple users “It just works”
I have an expensive PC I built but I’m a console gamer
I enjoy a comfy couch, big TV, and controller.
It’s the ease of just hitting a couple buttons and getting to play a game.
Could I hook my PC to my TV? Yes, but that would require me to move my PC from my desk.
Also things like controllers. If I hooked my PC to my TV to play something like Overwatch I’d have to play with m/kb people which I would be at a severe disadvantage if I played with a controller.
Like if Xbox overwatch allowed m/kb (yeah I know people cheat) I’d probably stop playing it.
It’s the PC gamers that always want consoles to support m/kb. Console gamers do not want to play on m/kb.
In my mind lack of m/kb is why consoles exist
People aren’t buying PS/Xbox for a living room PC. They want a console gaming experience

It’s because of the tree’s “shadows” on the lake.
There is a dirty spot right where a shadow should be on the right trees and the tree in the yard blocks all the shadows of where the other trees should be.
If you removed the tree and cleaned the wall it wouldn’t look like a lake at all.

- Comment on Have most people never seen a full starry night sky 3 months ago:
Highly recommend going to see it in person. Pictures can’t do it justice.
It’s like the grand canyon. You can look at pictures but being there to actually see the scale is a different experience.
It’s honestly mind blowing
- Comment on Have most people never seen a full starry night sky 3 months ago:
I have been on this planet for a while and I have only seen the night sky like the last picture driving through Texas in the middle of nowhere.
Power going out in a city isn’t enough to stop the light population from surrounding areas. It would have to be the only city around for miles and it would have to be a full power loss.
I would say most people have never came close to seeing an uncountable amount of stars in the sky.
I live in a medium sized city that is 30 minutes from a large city. I can count like a dozen stars in the sky. If we lose power the sky doesn’t magically change to look like it was in Texas. Honestly, I don’t remember it changing at all.
- Comment on We wouldn’t need the Epstein files to prove DJT’s guilt if society just trusted women in the first place. 4 months ago:
The idea was as she got older he wouldn’t date younger than her current age. Weird and creepy but not the weird and creepy way you think.
“In 3 years when you’re 20 I won’t be dating an 18-year-old.”
This was in 2006
Trump married Melenia in 2005
So imagine saying this after being married to your wife for a year.
Here’s another quote of him saying he has no age limit only to back track and then “weaved” to bring up another senator’s folly to divert attention on what he almost just let get confirmed.
Things got a little weird after co-host Robin Quivers asked Trump if he had “an age limit.”
Trump fumbled a bit at the response.
“If I— No, no, I have no age— I mean, I have an age li—” Trump said, while Quivers asked him “the upper bracket” of his limit.

You don’t trust the guy that made a promise to his 17 year old daughter that he’d never date younger than her?
And not only make that promise but went on Howard Stern and openly told the world about it?
It’s bizarre. Like just that one comment is enough to make me not want to stand up for the guy.

Most people I know say Eye-Dee-Uh. And the Uh is exaggerated.

A picture is worth a thousand words
“Hi I am…I am looking for sex”
If you are using a dating website and actually trying. You’d look at a profile, read their bio, and then send a message that had something to do with their bio. (Could also comment on pictures)
But it is a numbers game to an extent and most messages sent will never see a reply.
So what is the least effort highest reward thing to send first? Private picture.
They are hoping that the person opens it and it catches their eye.
If their first thought is to send a private picture, they are not really looking for small talk. So it has the added bonus of weeding out non-sexual people.
It’s no risk, high reward

Insulation on the dishwasher is mostly for noise and stopping moisture or heat from damaging surrounding cabinets.
The dishwasher is using new water or heating water. It is not designed to keep the same water hot for an hour plus.
The whole back of the dishwasher is a tiny piece of plastic. Not insulated at all. Some fancy ones now put a little insulation on back.
But the idea isn’t to keep heat trapped to wash dishes, but to keep heat from being released and damaging things.
- Comment on I am not a builder… but that does not seem right 5 months ago:
24" on-center wall studs aren’t uncommon in building practices today
Most residential interior walls are 16"
If their house is single-story, then 24" would fit in a lot of local building codes.

Walking on stage and physically assaulting someone? It was premeditated, he sat there and thought, then walked up and thought. It wasn’t just a heat of the moment thing.
Nothing said verbally should warrant that.

You can’t check for back feeding.
Cable coming from house to pole has no power. Electrician goes to hook up wire. Homeowner puts on generator. Electrician gets electrocuted.
Yes the testing and hooking up could be a small window of time but a fraction of a second after testing is all it takes.

Space is a vacuum, the other stuff just makes it not a perfect vacuum as a whole.
When you say “space” it is talking about the nothingness.
If you put something in the space it is no longer space but the object you put there
So like the whole outer space isn’t a perfect vacuum. But the parts where it is empty are, the space.
- Comment on Shine a laser on the moon 6 months ago:
Space isn’t really a vacuum
Wait what?
Space is a vacuum.
Could argue it’s not a perfect vacuum. We haven’t created a perfect vacuum on Earth but we have come close.
If I have a container and remove all the air inside. I have created a vacuum. Not a perfect one, but a simple vacuum.
If I add rocks to the container. The rocks are now in a vacuum.
Just like space. Space is a vacuum and there is “rocks” in it.
- Comment on Selling BTC or not..? 6 months ago:
Yes that’s a physical asset.
Silo full of grain is known as a future or a commodity. I might not have the Silo or the grain physically in my possession, but my note says that I own it.
BTC is a commodity and commodities are very similar to stocks
BTC just isn’t backed by anything
- Comment on Selling BTC or not..? 6 months ago:
A corporation is an entity
It has assets and profit tied to it. The “share” is a share of that.
Is a share worth it is debatable. But the share is a physical piece of the corporation
- Comment on Selling BTC or not..? 6 months ago:
Same can be said about traditional stock markets. The prices are entirely fictional there, too.
Not true at all.
Microsoft has 7.4B stocks outstanding.
Microsoft has a valve as a company.
Owning 1 stock gets you 1/7.4Bth of the physical company.
If Microsoft goes bankrupt or dissolves you could get some value out of your share.
There are 19.9M BTCs
BTCs have no intrinsic value
Owning 1 BTC gets you 1 BTC
If BTC goes under you get nothing
The stock market does have artificially inflated/deflated prices but they are roughly based on a company’s value. The stock is backed by the company.

How did you get that it was alright to boil a young goat in its mother’s milk out of that?
Sure, he says you could eat the young goat that has been boiled in its mother’s milk.
But nothing saying it’s alright to boil the young goat in the first place, which the OP verse clearly states.

#1 Ontario being the population of Pennsylvania

200 senators for 340m, 5.88E-7 senators per person
It seems pretty fair
