  And aspires to be the Dead Sea!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨a very tasty snack⁩ ⁨⁨16⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh, only double then. My bad.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨a very tasty snack⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  And probably your daily recommended sodium intake X 3.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Smart! I should probably just give up social media on all platforms.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Toilet time is puzzle time!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not always so successful I realize as I read this post on my phone waiting for my take out.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m the opposite. I avoid social media on my phone by reading books or playing Simon Tatham’s puzzles. I get enough on desktop. Probably too much. Pimp’s gotta pimp.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Looking at this stuff on desktop as always really makes realize just how many people access the Internet primarily through mobile now. It’s a weird, and somewhat disturbing thought. You’ll pry my desktops out of my cold, dead hands.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do you communicate "sorry, my bad" when you make a mistake while driving?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Ha! The biggest problem with drivers in my hometown is that they’re too polite. It’s dangerous when people don’t take their right-of-way. It causes confusion in drivers who know whose right-of-way it is. It’s also infuriating being stuck behind someone who thinks they’re doing people a favor by sitting at a four-way stop until all traffic disappears instead of taking their proper turn.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do you communicate "sorry, my bad" when you make a mistake while driving?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Huh. Same in Korea. Which was odd to me when I moved here since I’m from Canada and it is not the practice there.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Final Fantasy XII. I played it at launch and loved it. Spent 120 hours with it and beat every boss except for the one ridiculously hard fight.

  Either it or I haven’t aged very well. I’m 60 hours in and have to push myself to play it. I might just move onto something else or beeline the story and stop with the side content and call this one misguided nostalgia.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Games you really want to play, but can't or won't?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m running a 5600x with a 3080. I might be alright. I’ll have to check it out.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Games you really want to play, but can't or won't?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  What kind of specs do you need to run it smoothly? Does any of the online stuff work?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Games you really want to play, but can't or won't?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Bloodborne

  The last console I owned was a PS3, and I don’t plan on ever having another. Sony thankfully mostly got with the program and released a bunch of their stuff on PC, but Bloodborne remains a standout.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨RAM Prices Got You Down? Try DDR3. Seriously!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, I probably don’t need 32gb either, but RAM was so cheap at the time, and it gave me the chance to put my old 16gb into my work PC which was down to 8 since a stick died on me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨RAM Prices Got You Down? Try DDR3. Seriously!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Also using 2019 hardware! I dread the day something dies, though. Luckily I upgraded to 32gb of RAM the last time it was super cheap. I’m hoping this machine has another ten years in it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mafs⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Hmm. Does that mean 2/10, 3/15, 5/25, and 6/30 are also viable?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there a point we can track down when we stopped caring about doctors, nurses, teacher, etc? And thought it was a great idea to pay atheletes millions and screw everyone else?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨surely your hobby can't be that expensive⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Having less fun, though!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨surely your hobby can't be that expensive⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Hmm. I’ll have to check it out. Not sure I’m willing to give up my current workflow.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨surely your hobby can't be that expensive⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I have not tried Bitwig yet. Reaper is my jam.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨surely your hobby can't be that expensive⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Pew pew!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨surely your hobby can't be that expensive⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Haha! I refuse to even look at modular. Well. I did once or twice, and got frightened off pretty quickly. So much coolness. So much money.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨surely your hobby can't be that expensive⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Cries in synthesizers.

  At least there are a bunch of great budget options these days. Still not cheap though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's quite impressive that most English speakers across the world understand each other, despite variations in accents/dialects⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Do we? I remember watching movies like Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels when I was younger and never having a clue what they were talking about.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do you hate AI?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  AI is trained on the Internet. Look at the bullshit on the Internet. AI will take some random schmoe’s bullshit opinion and present it as hard fact.

  That, and it just re-introduced the problem of being able to see search results without visiting any of the resultant websites. The last time, sites ended up burying answers down the page to avoid being able to see results in search previews. Making everything shittier. What kind of response is there going to be to AI summaries? Everything will undoubtedly get even shittier as sites try to get people to visit and not just read the AI summary. Hello even more obfuscation. We’re taking the greatest method of spreading information around the globe ever devised and just absolutely filling it to the brim with bullshit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Always wear protection, folks⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Always? OK, I guess. It’s probably going to make teaching hard, though.

  Oh shit, this is that stupid fucking comic again, isn’t it?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This song, it's infectious⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Haha! I live in Korea and have a daughter who was not-so-briefly completely obsessed with this movie. I know all of the words at this point. English and Korean. I didn’t mind at first. It’s starting to drive me a bit nuts, now. Also, it is some pretty blatant propaganda for the grist mill that is the Kpop industry. Despite the subtle nods to the contrary.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trump wants the NFL to change its name so that soccer is the only sport called football: ‘We have to come up with another name for the NFL stuff’⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Lemon Toss?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If AI was all it was cracked up to be, it wouldn't be shoved in your face 24/7⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Exactly. AI will take old random slob’s opinion and present it as fact.
