    Older, but also the Guacamelee series. Tight controls, great humor. They're gems. I had fun with CrossCode as well.

    Please tell me we're not going to see Jones go old-time Anderson on us and just fuck with people instead of finishing them. He could end this at will and just isn't.

    I feel bad for Herb there. He's going to get a lot of shit for this. I think Eddie was in twilight land and probably out for a bit. It's tough to even know yourself when you're in a choke like that. What I really don't get is how someone as experienced as Dominic Cruz doesn't know how easy it...

    I got into woodworking recently and bought a DeWalt 7491RS contractor saw, specifically because it's got a great stock fence. It's been fantastic, except the miter slots are slightly (0.010'') out of square and inconsistent width. That's not terrible for this price point, but it's enough wobble...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    I live in a fairly affluent area and the modal mother stays at home and is half-drunk and on Instagram 10 hours a day instead of paying attention to their kids, who are utter barbaric shitbags through no fault of their own. Ding, ding. Kids model the emotional and behavioral examples provided...

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    This doesn't really help if your LLC is a pass-through. In order to reduce self employment tax you have to treat your LLC as an S-Corp and keep profits in the corporation (paying yourself less than you bill), which brings a host of complications. For a sole proprietor consulting setup it's...

    The fight broadcast was from the opposite POV, and at full speed it looked like it landed differently. You're right, though. I have no idea wtf Cain's camp is talking about. Ngannou KOs Velasquez in 26 seconds

    I went back and watched the fight and he does indeed get touched behind the head by Ngannou at 4:40 R1, but it clearly didn't do any damage. The shovel uppercut is what put him down. This is whining of the first order.

    Yes, but unless your network runs on carrier pigeons the transport won't be the limiting factor compared to transcoding.

    If you've got an operable hardware set from an old system you could move Plex to that and keep the storage on your NAS. Right now I've got my NAS set up with low-power hardware and a beefier intel NUC that runs Plex transcoding. An old laptop (wired) or whatever would do just as well.

    That guy hiding behind the bandsaw had the right idea. Lathe operator is an idiot. He's standing in the rotational path of the workpiece without a facemask and has the wrong kind of spur on his head stock for that job.

    He said in the post-fight that his knee blew on the step before he collapsed. You can see right about 6s he tries to put his weight on his left leg and his body just goes "NOPE" and he gimps out of it. He falls on the next step because he can't extend his knee and his foot isn't in the right...

    Sump pumps are a last resort. Your downspouts should empty to a place where they drain away from the structure. Ditto for any other moisture coming off your roof by other means. If you have standing water in your crawlspace at all it means you have a grading problem somewhere, unless your...

    Just make sure you get a set with tapered sides. If they're too perpendicular to the bottom they'll have a tendency to break if you freeze liquids in them.

    If they're on an inevitable slow slide into death, then perhaps, but given the right tech a group that is "small" relative to Earth population could certainly survive. Yes, we're not near that point yet but that's all the more reason to try now. We're definitely not going to develop the...

    Right, that was a sloppily-worded counterpoint (now edited slightly). Presumably enjoying the thought of life continuing comes with non-nihilism.

    Reverse the proportionality. "I'm going to die, so why should I care if my kids or any of the other 7 billion people survive?" If you have any non-nihilist sense of ethics, then the right thing to do is act in a way that maximizes the positive experience of sentient life.

    Same shit here. I had tubes as a kid and eventually an adenoidectomy. My ears are mostly ok as an adult but my sinuses are dogshit and I get weeks-long bouts of inflammation/infection on a yearly basis. My daughter (4) looks to have similar problems. Just yesterday she sneezed and a giant...

    Weight cutting claims another one? Whittaker had a collapsed bowel, which is when you have a mid-GI obstruction (constipation from dehydration in this case?), your colon empties out, compresses, and then nothing can pass through again. It's pretty serious. He could have died in a few days...

    You need to know what kind of system you have. Check the maintenance schedule for your model.

    Very few downsides to paranoia in this case. You can always just go once and if they think nothing is amiss wait 10 years. On the other hand, when I go they say, "Ehh, looks ok now but come back again in 2-3 years."

    He clearly likes fighting, doesn't mind the money, and doesn't care about his record any more. I can respect all of that. He seems to be keeping it together enough not to be a health hazard for himself, so as long as he and the UFC think they can make money and put on fun fights, more power to them.

    I've obviously only got the one perspective, but "they" say sex is better for the uncircumcised as your unit is more sensitive since it's not getting callouses from being exposed constantly. This is aside from the fact that it's an unnecessary and permanent procedure that would never have...

    Can always do it now. I'm the opposite. Never thought twice about it and glad my parents didn't. All that shit about circumcision increasing disease resistance is very misleading. It may be true, but is only relevant in a context where people aren't having safe sex in the first place. I didn't...
