That’s one type. Condenser style microphones are another. Even regular speakers can be used as (mediocre) microphones.
But “generating electricity by bending crystals” is by far the coolest one.

Or for a legal option, you can walk in to most weight loss clinics and they’ll give you all the robin eggs (phentermine) you want. They’re also great for long road trips.

Still good for Bananas Foster. The rum and ice cream will reactivate them.

Knowing what games are compatible and to what degree before purchasing them would make me happier. That’s what https://www.protondb.com/ is good for.

I don’t know, but I love the taste*. I wish I could buy them without all the energy stuff but with the taste (I’ll buy real drugs if I need uppers).
*Not including the “no sugar/zero calorie” ones, those taste like satan’s taint.

I can replace insoles, I can mend the uppers, but once the soles start letting water in, then it’s time for retirement.
Guess that’s a skill I should learn.

And replace it with one half as thick that warps the first time you use it? No thanks.
- Comment on Can't stop won't stop 2 weeks ago:
Appreciate the concern. But, no, I’ll pass. I honestly believe the last couple times of being open and honest only got me worse service. So until I start having bad experiences from not saying anything, that’ll be my policy.

I often work in hot, oily, dusty environments. So if I don’t wash in hot, the smell and stains aren’t coming out. And I can’t be arsed to separate it.

Sounds like my laundry gauntlet. “I don’t care what your tag says. You’re going in a hot wash with everything else or you’re going in the trash.”

State officials initially said they would investigate the killing. But Drew Evans, the superintendent of the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, said on Thursday that the agency had withdrawn because it had been denied access to evidence.
“The investigation would now be led solely by the FBI, and the BCA would no longer have access to the case materials, scene evidence or investigative interviews necessary to complete a thorough and independent investigation,” Evans wrote.
“Without complete access to the evidence, witnesses and information collected, we cannot meet the investigative standards that Minnesota law and the public demands. As a result, the BCA has reluctantly withdrawn from the investigation. The BCA Force Investigations Unit was designed to ensure consistency, accountability and public confidence, none of which can be achieved without full cooperation and jurisdictional clarity,” he wrote.
Pathetic.

I more meant the jet powered flaming snake flipping around on the floor setting the place on fire. We didn’t believe in fire retardants back then.
- Comment on Can't stop won't stop 3 weeks ago:
I was a smart stupid kid, and a bit of a pyro. I had figured out putting oxygen on a fire made it bigger but I didn’t have a concept of an oxidizer, I thought it was a fuel like propane/butane. So I cranked up the oxygen bottle and put a lighter to the end of the tube thinking it would make a little blow torch. It did, but not in the way I was expecting.

It wasn’t that bad. It was more like a 40 foot long, angry firework fuse. I was able to eventually stomp it out before my childhood took a drastic turn for the worse. It was one of the things that piqued my interest in physics/chemistry.
- Comment on Can't stop won't stop 3 weeks ago:
As a dumbass kid, I lit my grandmas oxygen tube on fire. It was wild; oxidizers are no joke.

“One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.”

I used to hear that in high school when we were seeing who could be the most offensive. I still slip up sometimes and use it as a dark joke, and it’s always received as well as it has been here.

If you do that and proceed to say “No we didn’t use any AI tools”. Then yes, that should be a disqualification.
“When it was submitted for consideration, representatives of Sandfall Interactive agreed that no gen AI was used in the development of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33.”
