Oh that’s easy. For me at least. In my analysis, the law is wrong.

1. Where are the assets stored. On local storage? Then I own a copy of the assets.

2. Where is the game logic executed? Locally? Then I own a copy of that game logic. A server? Then I own non of that logic. A hybrid of the two? Then I own a copy of what my hardware processes.

3. Where is the game save data stored? Locally? Again, that a copy I own. On a server? I’m licensing it.

Here’s a good analogy: Monster Hunter: Processing, assets, and saves are all on individual machines. I can be cut off from the internet, and still play. I own a copy.

Diablo IV: the assets are local, processing my inputs is local, but my saves and the game logic are all processed on a server. I own a copy of the assets and input logic. Blizzard owns the rest as they process the rest.

If they want to do the whole “resources=expense” then I get to consider MY resources as expense too.

Management will destroy this world.

Give it the British lady voice and it will soothe your rage when it fucks up.

My ex. Never me. I’d drink soda warm before id risk it bursting.

My ADHD absolutely can’t handle that clean up.

also, might be a good idea to have a few phone numbers of criminal defence attorneys memorized

well that’s gonna be a problem

We call it hotdish in Minnesota.

Actually it’s pretty much identical to a lot of hot dishes I’ve seen

Heheheheheh

That reminds me of a little story that I like to share. I always knew a person’s sexuallity wasnt a choice. At the time I didn’t even know there was such a thing as non- heterosexual relationships (because America). I can pinpoint the exact moment I knew I was straight because 11 year old me, my younger brother, my mom, and an older 2nd cousin (probably one of her parents or aunts/uncles) went to a river to swim and dig up crayfish.

Anyway, my second cousin wore her normal clothes down there, which I was sort of disappointed about and I didn’t know why. We get to the river she drops her bag and what I watched her do after that dropped my jaw and I froze staring at her until she got in the lake. She stripped off her shorts and shirt had on a revealing (ok, well to an 11 year old who never noticed before) green and blue bikini. I had no idea I was frozen or that my entire family was snickering as I stared at a girl 4 or 5 years older than me gawking at something I was now noticing a lot. The story goes that after this, my mom had to “remind me I was still in the street” and I just sat on a rock at the River edge trying to talk to her. I then made it really important that I got to hang out with her the rest of that family reunion.

At one point my little brother broke one of his braces wires and she was all ready to help him - she ran to her room with the little wax balls you put on the ends to stop them from poking you. Thing is the wire was a bit further back in his mouth. So I switched back into bewildered staring and jealously watched her carefully craft this tiny ball of wax into his mouth with her immaculate hands. I apparently got really pissy with my brother after that for getting all the attention.

Anyway. Yeah. Seemed pretty obvious to me that I did not get to choose who I was attracted to.

It’s also why there exist no laws on marrying your cousin.

Because that was keeping the gene pool fresh enough I guess

I guess I was just disappointed we didn’t have Nosferatu flicking the lights and everyone sighing and responding with laughter: “Nosferatu!”

Or maybe the pressure of someone else potentially cleaning my place will actually get me to do it.

Not that I have weird stuff I don’t want people to know about. Not that I would say I do either. Or comment that I don’t have weird stuff because pointing it out would kind of say I have weird stuff. I don’t have weird stuff.

Yeah I have a complete meltdown whenever my keys, wallet, and phone aren’t in my pockets, because I don’t know where they are the

I have never heard of this before

The dehydration is a consistent problem for me. But, I’m looking into this fats thing. I have IBS-C, and since I started taking Wegovy, it’s gotten much worse, but the fat in my diet has also decreased a ton.

Which isn’t great because fat can fill you up more than what I used to eat. Unfortunately I can’t stand eggs and liver, it’s a texture thing i don’t really understand.

One thing I know works very well is any cream pasta sauce. Which makes me think it’s time for experimenting.

Oh good. I’m so glad to hear that.

if your poop is dry and clumpy, you need more fat.

Ok, I’m gonna need info on this. Because it does appear to check out, but I’ve always been told it’s lack of fiber and not enough fluid (which is impressive because I drink my 3-5 liters a day).

Which also makes me wonder, what am I not eating that has fats in it?

I want to show this to the next PMP who talks about “bringing on more resources to the project.”

I’ve had my valve index for 5 years and never heard about bit rate affecting it - what am I looking for?

Someone who is not me wants to know how big of a difference would there be between like a 2070 super and a 4090 for some of that stuff?

They also want to know if there’s some more recent stuff they don’t know about yet.

It’s a lot more complicated than that even.

Pauli Exclusion Principal is that two or more identical particles of half integer spin cannot occupy the same quantum state. So two electrons in an orbital must be made of a +1/2 and -1/2 spin. This is evidenced by observation, but the prediction was made long before that.

This is because the total wave function for fermions is antisymmetric (bosons, like the photon, are symmetric). It’s sort of hard to describe how this works without paper and pen, but essentially there is different formula of solving a wave function. A symmetric wave function is a sum, and an antisymmetric wave function is a difference. The issue arises when you have two identical particles - symmetric functions can be any state as it results in a solution >0. If you have an assymetric function of two identical particles, the result is 0, which isn’t a valid state.

The very uncomfortable part of physics is here: when we ask “why” the answer based on the math and the observation is quite literally “because that is the way math works.” It’s fundamental - just like x * 0 = 0.

Man, Mao’s policies got so many people killed that “only” 3-4m people died of famine.

He’s got an incredible kill count.
