    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    And you've got to think, just from judging how some AWFUL shows are turned into series that shouldn't be, there's a not trivial amount of rubbing elbows involved in the process. "The show might be shit, but this producer has a direct line to THE BEST coke this side of the mississipi"

    split seasons are lame. I'd say you're better than that, Bojack. But you kinda aren't.

    Health Problems

    Yeah, if you have a local nursing school you could even find student nurses to do it. Mild duty part time in home care is a good fit. Just make sure they have their CNA cert at least, and make sure to provide yourself for some security. You hate to admit it, but you can't trust them blindly...

    Disney+ Streaming Service

    Never had problem with my roku box. About two years ago they put the nix on custom channels, and that sucked pretty bad. There were some really good ones. But... that wasn't unexpected. I think it was one of those things that the suits didn't fully realize what the engineers had done. Maybe...

    Hodj Proved Salty: A Tranny's Victory Thread

    It seems like she's not doing it on accident. You get her training and there's a non zero chance that it will fuck her control up and she won't be able to do it anymore. I bet if you press her that's what she's concerned about. And be honest, it's a possibility. It fucks with some performers.

    1984 or Neuromancer? Where are we headed?

    The most obvious, and probably practial, defense against that is proliferation of copies. You could do the same thing with the printing press. It'll be slightly easier with digital storage, but digital storage is also cheaper, faster, and easier to replicate than physical mediums. I can see...

    1984 or Neuromancer? Where are we headed?

    It's a weird way for culture to zag. Almost like to 60s, but with even less merit. At least the hippies just didn't want to get shot in some jungle for reasons too abstract to explain. It's real hard to blame them for wanting to get high instead of that.

    1984 or Neuromancer? Where are we headed?

    The founding generation used pamphlets the way we use dank memes. They were well aware. The surprising bit, more than their foresight, is their idealism. The printing press was their internet and they faced the same censorship by monopolies. Hence the first. I don't think we'd have that is...

    Are you smarter than a 4th grader?

    Those are tricks you apply. I learned those same tricks, but after Wed already memorized the tables. Those are patterns that pop out of the array, the are not immediately obvious until you've formed it. This is an example of rote preparing the kind for logic. It speeds it up slightly...

    The Joe Rogan Experience (JRE)

    He's got a couple like that. It probably seemed like a big get when he was planning it, and then the day happens and it's more like "well, that was horrible". I haven't watched it either. It sounds a lot like he gave Snowden a screen... because who knows why... and snowden tried some amateur...

    It's not terrible, but if you've watched futurama and the early seasons of the simpsons, you've seen all of this show. I watched it. It's not insultingly bad. It's just not very good. People did this one for a paycheck. Elfo season 1 is about the highlight for me. They haven't done that...

    I mean someone would probably shoot him. He isn't all that hard to find. He even gives you a schedule of exactly where he's going to be on certain dates. There's some crazy motherfuckers in california.

    Manual airlocks can be strange. I'll use them sideways sometimes on a main shaft to capture gasses and I cant remember exactly what the issue is, but I do remember that if you do 2 horizontal airlocks with a spacing between them you have to use one exact configuration or else the dupes won't...

    I've used polluted water cistern to create o2 before. If you don't care about speed you can use a deodorizer and create oxygen with sand. And you can make a closed loop carbon scrubber with 3 pips of water easy peasy. You don't really ever need to, but it works. I always wind up with a...

    Slimelung had a major nerf. It's not instant death anymore. I'm not sure if they'd even did from it. Seems more like it's a massive production malus now.likely Terrarium farms are good to poop in little walkways like that. It creates an o2 pocket they can run to. It's the ghetto solution...

    Are you smarter than a 4th grader?

    memorization plays a crucial role in being able to do that though. I suppose you could work through from base principles every time, and that is legit a type of mastery. It's unnecessary though and no one should want to do that. They should be ABLE to at need. Memorization doesn't interfere...

    Also a good excuse to make tucked up noises. Grunt loudly then whimper. Say, "you ain't the boss of me" and no matter how they reply let them know you were talking to the turd.

    I've known guys who could do similar and could explain it. They found patterns and memorized them. That might not be the best way to say it. For us to do it, we'd have to memorize them. But doing that we will always face a pay in accessing the memory. It'll make us quicker, but not as quick...

    1984 or Neuromancer? Where are we headed?

    1984 is terrifyingly tight. But it does seem to me that it is not self sustaining or self sustainable. All the arguments to the contrary come from obrien in the text, and those should probably be viewed as subjective propaganda rather than objective fact. Eventually you run out of proles to...

    An expansion every month? I haven't played eq in nearly 20 years. Is Selos Xp like 10000x xp? I'm not making fun, it would have to be turbocharged xp for an expansion a month. So much would have to be tuned to speed it up. There were so many time locks, it wasn't just a single bottleneck...

    I've played this game a pretty fair amount over the past year or so. I'm still leery of "harder" difficulties. The problem is I don't see a lot of solutions to common problems. You've got to get kcals ramping up on day 1 and you really do not have that many options on how to do it. The...

    Hopefully the Emperor wins. Not because I want to see it, but because no one buying tickets does. Because blue means the good guys. Red means the bad guys. Yellow is neutral. I kinda think that's actually the reason. It's G.I. Joe in spaaaaaaaace. Except all you learn at the end of it is...

    Yeah, but does that really apply to simple linear stuff? It for sure applies to geometrical math. Once someone showed me the Greek Square and what polynomials are meant to actually represent it made one HELL of a lot more sense. Memorizing solutions without that very simple foundation seemed...

    It's weird that they'll sit down and watch basically amateur industrial vids and review them. Whenever they do one of those it's kinda like "I'm not sure what they're supposed to even say about those". But somehow they manage to find something to talk about for 45-60 minutes.

    It's just division because it's quicker. You can achieve the same result with multiplication of fractions, it just takes the extra step that division is shortcutting. Either way you're factoring. If factoring itself is impermissible as a form of division then it's just time to start guessing...
