  I might not be as far (just past act 1), but I haven’t felt the need to grind rosaries (yet). A bunch of times I’d be exploring for an hour and notice I have like 500+ rosaries, and then I get them made into strands till I have to spend them. I don’t think I’ve seen anything on sale for more than 800 rosaries, Maybe it’s different later in the game but at least in the beginning of the game, it doesn’t feel like a chore.

  Even if earth just gets pulled away from the sun a little we are screwed.

  I get what you’re saying, but had to laugh at the use of “a little” here. The goldilocks zone in the solar system is roughly the between the orbits of Venus and Mars, and we’re almost right in the middle of it, so “a little” is like 150 million km.

  I would imagine that the first issue we would experience would be that the moon would be pulled out of Earth’s orbit first and then we lose the ocean tides and the stable tilt of the earth. It would probably get worse from there.

  I agree with the sentiment but not the price. You can find commercial ones of this size for almost half the price. Ex. a.co/d/63aVKxp

  Personally I don’t need it to be fully bezelless, so if that’s not a deal breaker, there are less expensive options available.

  You don’t need to memorize it really, just have to generalize the position of the minute hand past the last round number. Is it about 40% between the 2 and the 3, then that’s a 12.

  Exactly this, the .zip file extension is widely known, and now that it’s also a TLD, it can be confusing for some people. There’s no technical vulnerability, but the existence of .zip TLD just gives more ammo for phishing. For example, someone could register a domain name recent-bank-statements[.]zip (without brackets) and then have a subdomain for chase.com and send someone a link to https://chase.com.recent-bank-statements/[.]zip to “Download your bank statements”. If you’re not looking closely, you might not realize there is a . instead of a / and think that this link would go to chase.com When the site initiates a download of a zip file, you might trust the contents thinking it came from Chase and not a malicious link.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘They stole my face’: Streamer claims The First Descendant ads used AI to make it look like he’s promoting it⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Publisher Nexon has now made a statement addressing the situation, saying the ads were submitted by users as part of a ‘TikTok Creative Challenge’, which TikTok describes as an “official creator monetization program that turns your creativity into cash by creating UGC-style ads for your favorite brands”.

  “All submitted videos are verified through TikTok’s system to check copyright violations before they are approved as advertising content. However, we have become aware of cases where the circumstances surrounding the production of certain submitted videos appear inappropriate. Thus, we are conducting a thorough joint investigation with TikTok to determine the facts.

  How could they not see this coming? Of course this will be gamed and abused. This is what happens when you fire your marketing department and outsource it to TikTok.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It must have been a whole lot more difficult to design and build tall buildings before computers existed⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The short story i’ve heard it explained was that prior to the 1960’s when logarithm tables were the only option, if what you were calculating was not in the table, you rounded the measurements up so that the material or whatever was stronger, and you knew it would really hold the weight to be certain. Depending on how much rounding up happened during the design, this created lots of redundancy and strength, but was more expensive since you generally had to use more materials. With CAD, you could more easily model and calculate all the loads and optimize the design and material costs for the expected lifetime of the product, building, or whatever. This saved money and was preferred by bean counters, and resulted in designs lasting just enough, rather than older designs which sometimes seemed indestructible.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hypothetically, if the police seized your electronics (for an unrelated investigation) and found out you have a lot of pirated content, what would happen?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  IANAL and not really sure if this would hold up for digital assets, but if there is a search warrant, anything in plain view is up for grabs: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horton_v._California. I would assume anything on the hard drive can be evidence in court if it is in plain view of the assets of the search warrant.

  But also, for simply possession of pirated content, I don’t think the state would charge you, but you could be open to civil litigation if the copyright holders find out somehow.

  Was that a point and click interactive video one? I remember one story with dead hokey players or something? I think I got that CD for free from a box of cereal and have great memories playing it while home sick from school one day.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Where can I find Trumps drawing in the letter to Epstein?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I have seen this picture, but it has not been released by the WSJ, CNN, NYT, etc. The WSJ article describes the letter and this matches the description, but this is a recreation based on the description. What OP is asking for is why can’t they find a scan of the actual letter and the reason is because it hasn’t been published.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Where can I find Trumps drawing in the letter to Epstein?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re right, best I can tell, WSJ only described the image, but has not published it. Here is an archive of the WSJ piece that Trump is suing about: archive.is/IUWMu

  Also in this scene, why was there an empty spot in the grid for the robot to blend into? If it took the place of another robot, what did it do with the remains of the other robot without time. A lot of “don’t think about it too much” in this movie.
