I dunno about that, but I do know Reeses cups taste bad. Too much sweet and salty.

I’m not sure what world population has to do with anything. It’s a city builder - players are building cities, not people.
- Comment on Cardiff set to impose SUV parking premium after council approval 1 day ago:
It’s not really an SUV premium; it’s a heavy vehicle premium. This makes some sense, as heavier vehicles tend to be bigger and therefore require more space to park. But it would make more sense to have vehicle weight feature as part of car tax and actual vehicle size feature as part of parking permits, since that’s the variable that affects how much parking they require. Using either of these as a proxy for pollution (as is alluded to) is an awful idea, as electric vehicles tend to be larger and heavier than equivalent petrol ones.

Intriguing. I wonder after what length of time the world will “fill up” and it’ll be hard to find anywhere to start fresh? I guess this is something that the dev tries to tune consciously. In a similar vein, I wonder whether it will be best as a single player to start near someone else (to trade with them) or far away from others (to avoid bumping into each other)

This is a specific genre of text adventure - have you been on text adventure sites to try and find more? Because they’re low cost to make you can find loads for free or little money.

Many of their songs are in Icelandic actually, and a couple in English.

It’s the 4th largest country of origin for 4chan from what I can find. It doesn’t sound like you’re actually responding to what I said is being missed. Guess you don’t want to.
- Comment on 4chan fined $26K for refusing to assess risks under UK Online Safety Act 2 days ago:
I think this sentiment is common but misses some important things. First: the UK is a big market of internet users, so losing it is not insignificant. Second: most people will not bother with a VPN because it’s annoying or costs money. Third: from the UK’s perspective, banning non-compliant sites is a good thing.
Recognising all this is important, because it’s part of resisting such censorious laws.

But it isn’t, and no it probably couldn’t.
It sounds like you’ve just got AI on the brain and wanted to moan about it.

Potential arrest and imprisonment for failing to pay the fine, you mean? That would be a proven damage, wouldn’t it?

- Comment on Tabletop convection oven 2 days ago:
Rice cooks in 10-12 minutes on the stove but my rice cooker always takes 20 minutes at least. I can imagine screwing rice up but… not regularly? I just don’t think that putting a pan on to simmer is difficult or requires much attention. I have never burnt rice nor boiled it over. I have dried it out occasionally, but the rice cooker also sometimes does that.
- Comment on Tabletop convection oven 2 days ago:
but you have to pay attention to it
Not really? After it comes to the boil (<1m) you can turn it down to a simmer and leave it until the timer goes. Because it’s quick, if you err on the side of starting it late you won’t be far wrong, and if you do have it ready early, it’ll keep warm in the pan with the lid on for a decent length of time.
It’ll be ready when you are
this is no more true than it is for cooking it on the stove?
- Comment on Tabletop convection oven 2 days ago:
I don’t really get this. I mean maybe there are some that are smaller than I know of - mine is a bit smaller than a microwave.
But the methods of rice cooking I know (absorption is what I use and I also know the one where you use loads of water then drain it off, like pasta) are dead easy. As easy as pasta, and noone complains pasta is hard to cook.
I use a rice cooker because a Chinese ex gave it me and it makes better rice, not easier rice. It takes longer to cook, meaning that if anything it’s a tiny bit harder to plan for.

It’s that the complaints come out on Lemmy, or on Reddit, or elsewhere that’s extremely online.
I found lockdown quite enjoyable. My partner had grinding depression due to not having the stimulation and connection and support of being physically present with people, including at work.
That experience is common, but not amongst the vocal online lot!
- Comment on ‘Sex for rent’ is illegal in the UK. Why are thousands of people still affected? 3 days ago:
And exploitation works because there is an incentive for the exploited person to be exploited. Who’s going to report the situation when it will make life hard? Even if there are protections, you can’t be sure you won’t be homeless for some time. You’ll at least have to move house, which is a major upheaval.

Interesting. I wonder what it is that causes the render times to be different and how much noise there is. Maybe the solution will be to worsen timer accuracy!

This is the situation in the UK, where essentially defamation cases are guilty until proven innocent; if the defence you have to rest on is that what you said or wrote was true, you have to prove that to the court. It means that anyone who says anything that upsets the rich can be sued for defamation and has essentially no chance of prevailing.

How much counter space do you have? My rice cooker is already on top of another appliance.
If you’re not cooking rice all the time it is just not worth it
