Why not call it “discounts when we’re not so busy” and feel better about things? Might drive less waste if unsold food is just going to go in the bin.

I’m currently hooked on Balatro like everyone else not in this thread. Took a long time to figure out the strategy (a two-and-a-half hour video helped a lot) before I won my first game (red deck). Won my second game (blue deck) on the next try. Next game (yellow deck), bombed out in ante 7, so I got close.

Geometry Survivor is pretty good but kinda simple. I’ll play for the trophies (survive 20 minutes) but will probably stop after that. I’m up to 10 minutes on the first sitting.

Working my way through NG+ on Nobody Saves the World. It almost feels easier so far but I’m only a few dungeons in. I guess the challenge will be in some of the later dungeons since I apparently have to clear them all to get to the final boss.

Most of those millions of apps are crap that hasn’t been updated in years, and they don’t have millions of users (not the kind of users who would by a Vision Pro at launch, anyway). I haven’t read the list but I’m betting the 150 that are here are much more popular and useful for this platform – the kinds of apps that would actively benefit from this technology and that the users actually want and will use.

The oral/written thing is kinda covered in the ruling. https://www.courthousenews.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/schobinger-v-twitter-order.pdf

Narrator: There isn’t. https://www.reddit.com/r/OculusQuest/comments/r5dbuf/did_they_ever_add_the_notebook_to_myst_so_its/

What I learned very quickly playing Myst VR is that it’s hard to take notes, making the puzzles frustratingly difficult. Exploring is fun and the graphics are great, but that’s not the point of the game.

Old news, but this is what I’m thinking of: “By February 2022, Thiel was one of the largest donors to Republican candidates in the 2022 election campaign with more than $20.4 million in contributions. He supported 16 senatorial and congressional candidates, several of whom were proponents of the falsehood that there was significant voter fraud in the 2020 election. Two of said senatorial candidates (Blake Masters and J. D. Vance) were also tech investors who had previously worked for Thiel.” – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Thiel#Political_views_and_activities

“After losing to Peter Thiel in last year’s contest, Elon Musk takes the title of WORST PERSON IN TECH 2023!” – With the vote split 84.1/15.9% over Jeff Bezos, and to no great surprise (except perhaps the margin). https://mastodon.online/@parismarx/111598332906577952

Just tech, clearly Musk. I’d argue Peter Thiel is the worst among the others for direct political influence, but that wasn’t the question and name recognition is everything.

Why is this even a contest? We all know who the “winner” is going to be.

There are hundreds of articles on census-designated places and unincorporated communities (like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socialville,_Ohio) that have even less information than most articles on roads. The standards here are similar and would meet the same notability guidelines.

“Most computer microphones use the third segment to carry bias power for the microphone.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microphone_connector

I had thought it was to deliver sound to both sides (rather than left- or right-only) but here we are.

Does it? It’s an encyclopedia, not a map.

Maps don’t give the history of roads (planning, construction, naming) or secondary information like communities served, relative lengths or controversies. There’s plenty encyclopedic information that maps don’t provide.

Can you not just tape it into place?

It only needs approval from enough states to total 270 electoral votes among themselves to kick in, because those states will have pledged their electoral votes to the popular winner, even if the vote in any of those states favors another candidate. This is covered in the Wikipedia article linked above.

UFC 5, at least for another few days. I got all of the offline trophies in about a week (my main objective) and learned, once again, that while I can do just fine against a CPU opponent, playing against an allegedly human opponent online, I totally suck.

I’m likely going to switch back to Spider-Man 2 sooner than I expected.

I would upvote this a thousand times if I could.

I’ve never heard any difference among the 3D audio settings. Even with Pulse headsets on PS5, which are allegedly designed for this sort of thing, all of the settings sound exactly the same.

• Make the story automatically skippable. Every time. Many games explain the mission/objective in a short sentence or in the minimap anyway. Don’t make me watch a long cutscene or press/hold a button to skip the dialog. I’m never going to care.
• Always have a tutorial or practice area to remind me how to play the game after I put it down for a month or so. Bad enough that the controller map is hidden in the menus (if there even is one). It don’t help much to just say what all 16 +/- buttons do, depending on what mode I’m in. I have to actually use them to get back into the swing of things, and I’d rather not jump right into the action (and potentially lose progress) right away.
