haha I guess that’s one way to deal with it and do nothing at all. Doubtful they block the connections from those areas

my 11 year old relative is obsessed with 6-7
it’s funny to get them laughing by being overly silly about anything that comes near a time when 6&7 might come into play

dim sum is called dim sum though, you wouldn’t expect to get dim sum except at brunch/lunch time and if someone says they are going to get Chinese food it’d be a surprise to get dim sum. Even traditional Chinese restaurants that cater to Chinese people serve Americanized Chinese food. In the Seattle Chinatown there’s restaurants that have Chinese only menus that don’t have any of the same stuff as the English menu. I’ve been to them with Chinese speakers and it’s a totally different experience then going there with just my wife.
my original point is that “Chinese food” to most of the western world is the stuff that American Chinese immigrants invented. Real Chinese food isn’t called Chinese food because China is massive and they have so many food cultures that those cultures are what that style of food is called
- Comment on thx for the diabeetus 6 days ago:
Chinese food as we know, everywhere except China, is a purely American invention. It’s history is really interesting, especially how the restaurant owners of the 80s convinced everyone MSG was poison.

it’s a life changing event getting blacklisted from something like your career goal. I found a more rewarding career path but it still hurts that I was trying to make Microsoft a better company and I was outed for trying to argue that Linux wasn’t going away and Microsoft had to recognize it’s strengths

I worked at Microsoft in the early 2000 era. before Xbox. I did the top level os consumer support stuff. not for corporate but for the general public that uses the os support channel. one day I was in a discussion group and we talked about what you think about the future kinda thing. it was supposed to be a relaxed discussion but once I brought up Linux and older hardware, I felt the temperature changed. it was later explained that I was black listed for my argument because it expressed that flaws in Windows and the potential of Linux. Years later I joked with a friend who still had an MS job, that putting the Linux subsystem in Windows was admitting I was right back then… this new Xbox coming out in competition to the steam system just makes me feel so justified. Microsoft will always be a second best because they can’t break the internal mindset that they are the top

Discworld is my new obsession
Small Gods is so fucking good, I can’t express how amazing in so many ways that book spoke to me. It’s more biblical than anything else I have ever read

I’d forgotten about him and his wife… might be time to read that series again. It’s my all time favorite. I can’t even tell you how many times i have read it or listened or watched! It’s a story that came into my life at just the right time and I can honestly say it was a singular in helping me survive my childhood

so I’m currently playing Foundation, I played Civilization a bunch and Civ2 a bit but mostly avoided that kind of game in favor of 3rd Person Shooters and like.
I will give your demo a go soon

the pattern is pretty wonky, your slicer isn’t doing you any favors. try a different top and bottom pattern if the other suggestions don’t do anything
- Comment on What's causing this? 1 week ago:
it’s not being adhesive, trying a 5+ degrees might help. try setting drawing the outside parameters first.

I sure hope the Defense forces the Prosecution to define “antifa” as Anti-Fascist so their argument defines Trump as a Fascist in court.
