“You don’t need a million dollars to do nothin’. I got a cousin that’s broke and he don’t do shit.”
Optimistic nihilism is my chosen way of life. Here’s a really good kurzgesagt video on it: https://youtu.be/MBRqu0YOH14?si=2xh3B1eQJN4xosI6
[insert happy/sad bus meme, but both sides say “nothing matters”]
Another way of thinking of it, if you only get to experience this once, make it the best experience you can.
I don’t mind the pop up as much as I mind it being a pop up that tells you to go to another menu to change the setting. Why not just put the setting in the pop up?

Weird Al is a massive source of inspiration for me. The guy has been doing nothing but making whacky music through decades of music trends coming and going and never missed the mark.
From a really young age, I appreciated that not everyone has to take everything so seriously.
The side closest to the door or furthest from the wall if it’s up against one. It’s the side the first person would take if they were the only one sleeping in it most of the time.

Just give me an AGP slot on my phone. Hell, toss in a SCSI while you’re at it.

You might want to X-post to c/relationshipadvice as well. That being said, the only one responsible for kidnapping anyone is the kidnappers. And no one should expect their friends or lover to kill their kidnappers. It would likely get you killed in the attempt. On top of this, these are all hypotheticals.
Someone who is using hypotheticals that they made up in their head against you is more worried about themselves than you.
It is not my place, but this person sounds like someone I wouldn’t even want to be friends with, let alone date. Friends are there to build each other up, not tear them down and add anxiety.
This one will still be playable offline after the fact, so its offer is way better than the games that are the focus of the Stop Killing Games movement. The games they’re targeting are completely unplayable after being killed.
Most older games will have 2-3 engine loops that they will blend between and pitch accordingly, however Forza 5 specifically was the first in the series to use granular synthesis which is a much more modern approach.
These will have a series of sound files including all the different parts of the engine, exhaust, turbo, etc. Then the software slices these files into tons of pieces in real-time and plays the slices based on the players inputs.
It’s tricky to explain without examples, so here’s a video that does a decent job of explaining how it works in music: https://youtu.be/ftDLRYnRYZQ?si=SEHOl55K7rimi4Eu
I can recommend myNoise if you’re looking for an app with quality soundscapes. Unfortunately not free for all of them, but they are all very high quality and they offer an unlock all option.
This will be my first ever year attending a race (Las Vegas) and it was admittedly only possible due to a decent disposable income that happened to line up. I can imagine how many people want to attend but can’t because their favorite track is impossibly expensive or the more “affordable” tickets being out of travel distance.
Dang. I thought I was the only person who had ever heard of this one. Might have to boot it up in an emulator one of these days and give it a go.
Screenprinting. I also did work as a quality tech for machining. Manufacturing jobs in general do not seem to get any public recognition even though they can be some of the most engaging and can cater to a lot of people that don’t enjoy the employee-customer relationship.
That being said, finding the sweet spot for management can be a challenge.
It’s a career path that’s practically ignored in schools and I wish math classes used more examples from engineering and manufacturing to answer the age-old “Where am I ever going to use this?” question.
I speak from experience that no one other than professionals should be handling their own mail servers in 2024. I worked for a mail host. The amount of spam and attacks that befall a mail provider, even a small one, is bonkers. Plus, mail is just too damn important.
I wish it wasn’t the case because the idea of everyone privately hosting their own mail servers would be pretty awesome. Sadly the modern internet makes it way too risky.
This right here is what defensive driving is supposed to look like. If you have the option to distance yourself from the other cars on the road, that’s always best.
It baffles me seeing a group of cars on the road all bunched up with less than a second between them going 75. If there’s a hazard on the road that the cars behind don’t see, they’re all going to crash into each other when the guy in front slams his brakes.
Driving is all about awareness and predicting what others might do. I just assume at any point, anyone could need to suddenly brake hard. Plan accordingly and position yourself defensively.
Okay, but their teas are actually pretty darn good and not loaded with sugar. I agree about the water though.
(Although, aluminum is essentially infinitely recyclable compared to plastic, so is probably a better alternative to bottled water)
