I think there will be some protests, some violence, but it will be much smaller than the protesters want it to be, and any violence will be swiftly met with law and order.

Jan 6 happened in part because Trump was in power. Election deniers in every state tried to gum up the works, and will try again. But Trump is not in power. He cannot exchange favors or offer pardons. People obstructing the democratic process will be arrested and prosecuted.

I won’t. But my concern is that Mozilla is heading in the wrong direction lately, and I have used Firefox for a very long time.

I don’t want that. I want full control and absolute privacy. I do not want your AI reading my emails. Look at that summary, it’s as long as the whole email, and you’re not going to be able to trust that it picked up on the most important part of the email. This is not efficiency, this is novelty.

There was a movie about this last year. It was based on a true story, but strays a bit from what actually happened. It’s pretty good. It’s called Hitman.

Does the term describe yourself? If not, you haven’t reclaimed it.

Some wealthy people don’t give a shit whether you believe they have wealth. You don’t need to prove anything to anyone until and unless you make an offer. Ask questions, and don’t answer questions. Give vague, short responses and neglect to elaborate.

Moscow agreed to discharge Indian nationals who were illegally inducted into the Russian Armed Forces during a meeting between Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Russian President Vladimir Putin in July.

The way this is written, the dangling modifier makes it sound like the Indian nationals were illegally inducted into the Russian Armed Forces during the meeting. Like Modi met with Putin, and the Indian staff members and security detail that came along were corralled into a bus and shipped to the front lines. Then Modi comes out of the meeting looking like the Vincent Vega meme, and turns to Putin who is like the Fidel Castro Simpsons meme.

Moscow agreed during the meeting to discharge the illegally inducted Indian nationals.

Why do you think you can’t prove Gengis Khan existed?

Claims need proof when there is a call to action. It doesn’t matter to me if you’re from an island or a small town or a big city, unless you’re giving me directions. If you make an extraordinary claim, and you want me to believe you, then I’ll need proof. If you make a mundane claim, then what the fuck do I care if you’re lying? If you claim to have a disease, I’m going to believe you because I’m not a doctor and it costs me nothing to take you at your word.

If you shout “Run, something bad is coming!” I might feel foolish and angry if I later learn you were lying, but I’d rather be foolish and angry than injured or dead. Proof is a luxury when time is of the essence, doubly so when safety is at risk.

There might be some specific nuances to quibnle over, but generally I think we could reach consensus on the guidelines I described.

Do yourself a favor and learn to fix the issue yourself. Take the controller apart and clean the contacts and remove any debris. Youtube is your friend here.

Then just keep an eye on craigslist for used controllers. A lot of people just sell them as broken, or try to get away with selling them as working. The repair only takes like 15 minutes, and it can pay for itself if you start selling the service to friends.

I got my SoundBlaster from my uncle who upgraded, and I think it was a Gravis. But that was like 30 years ago, so I might be wrong.

Can’t see his name without thinking A. Blinken.

No, but I’m a dad. My last gaming rig had a SoundBlaster card.

I have a PS5 and have never heard of this game. Why are you so keen to talk about it?

FFVIII had those gun swords that had no gun functionality whatsoever. I kept thinking “this will be the upgrade that lets me shoot the gun, or launch the blade, or supercharge the blade with an explosive hit, or something to justify the fact that the handle is a revolver.” Each successive upgrade, it increased my expectations that the gun function would be awesome, because otherwise it would have been an earlier upgrade.

In other words, it’s absolutely mandatory in all situations except for all the time everywhere.

4 ten hour days can more easily become 4 eight hour days. Working 10 hours means more breaks, more downtime, more slack during each day, and people are going to need to leave work more often to handle personal matters. If you can get everyone on board with being half-staffed on Mondays and Fridays (assuming that not everyone works the same 4 days) then you can make the argument that the additional 2 hours a day are unnecessary.

That seems to be the main thrust of the interview. Employees leaving the building is bad for productivity, therefore I provide a variety of services, food, and support inside the building. Employees don’t have to ever leave, which boost productivity.

Whether or not that is true, that’s another matter. In fact, I would hazard a guess that the CEO’s statements are all “I want” statements precisely because he isn’t interested in debating the actual effect on employees. Is it more productive? Does the data support the expense? Doesn’t matter, he wants it.

I find it helps me be more creative to leave my working space for a change of scenery, but it also helps me focus on mundane tasks to have things at my fingertips to avoid leaving my workspace. I doubt there’s one universal answer, but a workplace that provides coffee and food isn’t preventing employees from leaving the building, it’s encouraging them to stay.

But I also work from home. I wouldn’t work for a company with a strict in-office policy, even if they provided coffee and daycare.

Perplexica? What sort of sauce goes with that?

For a minute I legit thought Italy had dropped a new pasta shape.

Ok, but your “question” was basically “What’s something that makes you mad? Here’s mine:”
