- Comment on Is it possible to cool my body enough to not sweat while exercising? 5 hours ago:
Wicking sportswear will reduce sweat compared to cotton shorts significantly, although itbis an improvement and not a perfect solution. Sometimes better than going shirtless because it wicks and evaporates, so you end up with a sweaty shirt but not big dripping puddles.
A warning is that those shirts can get pretty funky if you don’t properly clean them soon after use and in most cases fabric softener clogs the wicking property. Follow the cleaning directions and they are fantastic!

- Comment on What is immersion to you? 1 day ago:
It is entirely subjective of course.
When I can be entirely focused on a game and interacting with the game or things that happen don’t break that focus. Sometimes this can mean confortable controls, worlds that have natural barriers, and options to interact that cover what I am trying to do.
Limitations on interactions, characters being inconsistent, and finding it hard to do the things that I feel should be possible in the game are immersion breaking or may even keep me from being immersed. Introductions that are obviously telling you how the game works are not immersive, but if they feel like part of the game they can be immersive.
Helldivers 2’s boot camp is immersive because it feels like things you do in boot camp with a healing dose of in world propaganda. Expedition 33’s into was immersive because it was doing in workd things and barriers didn’t stand out even if the pathing was obviously restricted for game reasons because things were happening! Both games continue to be immersive, but they are also examples of games that are immersive from the first moment the game starts and they keep it up from then on.

Nolan is wrong. His best movies, which are his earliest movies, have great stories and music and effects and are worth multiple watches.

Lobster used to be boiled to the point of being hard and rubbery before being served as poor food. Cooking it to the right texture and serving with butter and other things that make it delicious was a later development.
Same with the less popular tough meat cuts, where specific preparation is needed for it to be delicious BBQ.
It isn’t scarcity or marketing as much as it is specific preparation being necessary before it becomes enjoyable to eat.

Is the clock or the plate the pizza pan? That’s the only one I might be stuck on.
Also, thank you!

I see no way for them to know if I covered the lower screen with something to block it. Maybe even mount a soundboard to something firm over top of the lower screen.
- Comment on But think of the landlords! 5 days ago:
I like how living in the countryside lets me disconnect from others in a more healthy way. I live in the suburbs now due to supporting family, but would love to be back in a residence clearly disconnected from anyone outside my household. It doesn’t even have to be that far as long as there is separation due to natural barriers like dense foliage or elevation changes.

So you like the benefit of being on top of the hierarchy without the responsibility.
Congrats.

The CEO can’t be held personally liable for the actions of the company, for example; their underlings could have been responsible and kept the leader in the dark.
The onus should be on the company to prove their employees kept the CEO in the dark, not the other way around.

They want him to be doing what he is doing, just not in the exact way he is doing it. The collective will of Israell is still settling Palestine through force and support of genocidal actions to accomplish that.

Collars have a seam in the same place as something like a t-shirt. I even find polos to be less confortable than a t-shirt around the neck.
Collars exist to keep neckties from being directly on the skin, and that would be uncomfortable.

- Comment on Ending a relationship during the dating phase is a positive outcome. 1 week ago:
Not everything that takes effort is work.
If you want to do those things and it takes effort then it is just effort. If it is an obligation because the relationship will collapse if you don’t put in more effort than you want to put in, then it is work. People have different levels of effort they want to put into a relationship, and if there is a mismatch it will create work for one of them if they drag it out and that is going to put a ton of strain on the relationship.
A little work is fine as long as the overall relationship is good, but if most interactions are work then it is a terrible relationship.
- Comment on Ending a relationship during the dating phase is a positive outcome. 1 week ago:
The relationship shouldn’t take much work at all. There are things tangential to the relationship that do take work, like finances and health issues, and all that other stuff, but if it takes a lot of work to just keep a relationship going then it probably needs to end.
