We don't have enough information to put odds on that. He's right unless we're lucky and there's some weird new physics that defies everything we currently think we know. While almost anything is possible given enough time, the engineering challenges, energy costs, and time delays involved in...

What baffles me more is that with the art style and visibility in-game there's no point in buying cosmetics because you can't see what you're wearing no matter what it is.

Are you on a slab or over a crawlspace? Plumbing leak underneath evaporating up?

That could contribute a lot. Are people taking showers in those bathrooms? Maybe consider having vents installed. Bound to be cheaper in the long run than dehumidifiers.

Where is the water coming from to keep the house humid? Have you checked your dryer vents, vents in your showers, etc? Do you have a shitload of plants, some kind of water feature? I would think natural air exchange should keep your house essentially in line with ambient unless you were...

I'm doing a Terraria playthrough with my kids (8, 11). It's pretty much a perfect game for this kind of co-op.

I don't think anyone watching Jake Paul fight is really in it to see high-quality boxing.

I switched to safety razors about 15 years ago and I'm still using the first box of blades I ever bought. If I sharpened them I'd probably be good for the rest of my life and maybe my son's too. DE are definitely the way to go. Better shaves than anything else, IMO, and I think I've spent maybe...

Or: Physical space travel is hard enough that technological life ends up not bothering and instead uploads themselves into a version of the Matrix with a low physical footprint. Sure, von Neuman probes, but that tech could be harder than we think plus it doesn't involve a lot of payoff for the...

They're ok for maintenance but will never have the roller brush power or suction of a plug-in vac. I have hardwood floors with various low area rugs and I still need to hand vacuum once every week, week and a half or so. I have two 80 lbs dogs with double coats, though.

My dumbass state tax board just sent me a letter demanding an additional $9k because they "couldn't verify" the amount of state withholding on my last return. Of course, the amount I claimed is exactly the sum of the reported amount on two W-2's plus a 1099. The number they say they can verify...

I just have mine return to base when full and finish cleaning when I get around to emptying it out. I have a Neato Botvac instead of a Roomba, though, which I like because they make a LIDAR map of the house and clean in a grid instead of the random walk Roombas use. This lets them pause and...

Not in my experience. A dog with an undercoat will fill up a bin in ~1000-1500 sq ft.

It looks like they're saying you can't make or do anything while even thinking about Minecraft at the time, especially if it involves money, and they reserve the "right" to cancel/appropriate whatever they want whenever they want. Clearly written by lawyers who don't understand the product...

Basically prog metal on a piano.

And that's just the observable universe. The "whole universe" could quite possibly be infinite (not that it practically matters, since we'll never be able to see or interact with anything outside our horizon).

Even if 99% of that is unenforceable, it seems like a great way to ruin your community that does a MASSIVE amount of free advertising for you.

New addition to the family. A good friend ended up inheriting two large dogs into a very small 2-bed condo (with a baby) and couldn't keep them both. We had previously dogsat for them and this 3-year old cream golden fit in great with my kids and dog. She's a rescue from a backyard breeder where...

It was more about how the plumbers were trying to convince me to replace the 10 year old copper in the rest of the house when I all I needed was the bathroom rough-in. Just bullshit high-margin sales attempts. I do have reservations about pex itself. I've been in pex-piped houses with definite...

This is the washer plumbing in my bathroom renovation. I have dealt with washer valve leaks and drain spills in every house I've ever lived in, so fuck that noise. Both wall compartments with plumbing get an interior waterproof liner, so if there's a leak it will run out under the trim and down...

Where are you doing this? You can buy a similarly sized new/recent house in a very nice part of LA for significantly less than that. Generally speaking, though, if you're talking changes that major (foundation, etc.) it's usually cheaper to bulldoze everything and start over. Retrofitting is a...

They were the first to "replicate". Probably already working on it. https://interestingengineering.com/innovation/lk-99-superconductor-chinese-magnetic-levitation-proof

I just spent a week in Vail. Took my kids (8, 11) to the National Mining Museum in Leadville. Pretty cool bit of history there, though your kids might be a bit young for it, and the area is expectedly gorgeous.

I just spent an hour looking for a pair of headphones that were in my pocket under my wallet. =(

That's more progress than the 25+ years invested in you.

You don't know what's there or not there until you look. A true room-temp superconductor would be world-changing. It might be possible, so we look. On the way, we've made some things better. Most progress is incremental.

It's actually pretty huge because you can only achieve -296C with liquid Helium. -196C is liquid Nitrogen which is far more convenient and basically in infinite supply. We're actually in some danger of globally running out of He in the coming decades.

For the curious: "Fidelity", Briton Riviere, 1869

There are plenty of save/character editors.

House I just bought is done this way. It's a little generic, but honestly quite pleasant all around and matches anything you put anywhere.

Why does anyone pay attention to these people? It's one thing if they're giving build advice or whatever, but this guy is just explaining his own bad play. Who gives a shit?

Just bought that and will force my kids to play this summer so they know true greatness.

That was a Victor roll/standard rolling kneebar. This is an Imanari:

Sigh. This is going to be like 2e as a kid, where I spent easily 10x the time theorycrafting as I did actually playing. I'll be lucky if I make it out of character creation.

This is the no brainer part of seasons that they completely flubbed. Leveling new characters over and over to no long term gain is just drudgery.

Unmet housing demand so badly dwarfs supply that at an average level well see at best a minor slowing of price growth. YMMV in specific hyperlocal markets. In my area a stupid percentage of sales are pure cash, so rates have no effect at all.

Right, because what we need more of is trust fund babies raised by nannies. I'm fine with disinterested people not reproducing. Leave it to those who care.

It is 100% less time than sanity checking my own code. It's a big accelerant just to give me a rough template that generates the ballpark of the correct output I'm looking for. If that means I'm a bad coder, I'll own that. My last formal training was Java 20 years ago in college and everything...
