Really big gap in her amour. Totally not ready for a fight. Though those legs could stop an army

Wondering what's holding those shorts up

Always great when someone can pull off skin tight clothes

Mmm new favorite

Every time I walk around naked with nothing but glasses and a yellow jacket I am cosplaying. Go figure

Probably the most expensive turkey he could find.

It's the only ones they had. Maybe all the cheap ones sold already.
I'm watching for a Christmas ham or turkey. Those birds have been sitting in the store a couple weeks now I think. No one wants to pay that much, it's insane.
But so is $7 for 3 heads of Romain lettuce, $20 for 700g of cheese.

Arguing nickels is dumb it feels.

Zareth posted...

Nope. I'd suggest a nickel.

I guess but nothing is that price anymore.

At this point being under $100 is a sale.

Want a turkey? I took this yesterday.

I mean we're at a point that dollar might as well be the lowest amount.

Selling for 1.50? Why not double the package, change $3, and save the planet by cutting your packing nearly in half. The shrinkflation is the opposite we should be doing. Right now they are just filling the packaging half way to trick you into thinking it's the same amount.

Big retail is starting to train its shoppers that if it ends in 97 cents its a really good deal and you should buy it. So if you really want to sell something use that instead.

The Sears strategy where the cents denotes which sale it is. I really hated that. I left a lot of stuff in my cart when they did that. Put say 5 different shirts on a rack, a sign saying 40% off. But you find out at the cash register only items ending in 87 cents is on sale.

The trick still works that's the problem

Sounds you're shifting the goalposts from "people like PC more in spite of the console marketing" to "the only reason PC isn't more popular is because consoles get marketing"

No I'm just saying their own polls prove more than half the people here play on PC. Yet almost no polls allow answers from PC gamers or are written in a way that a PC gamer can respond easily.
I never said exclusively PC.
And any opinion poll about games will always say console, and probably Nintendo.
Gamefaqs has an extreme console bias. It's easy to believe that it's from the big 3 paying gamefaqs.

BoomerKuwanger posted...

Duh? I just said that. But you can find countless other polls of people saying they spent more attention on consoles or found consoles had a better year than PC

Since consoles get 100% of the marketing, that makes sense

BoomerKuwanger posted...

89% of people owning a PC that can play games is not the same thing as 89% being PC gamers, let alone exclusively PC

I searched "platform" and couldn't find any polls that supported your claim that people here prefer PC. At best it's ones like this where PC wins if you throw out the 72% saying they don't really care:

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/8896-in-the-great-pc-vs-console-gaming-debate-where-do-you-stand

Even that poll PC was higher.

If I were admin I would have this automated.

I think it's just whatever corporate sponsor wants to know, and if they have nothing, you get a weird question.

I always find it funny any poll asking what your platform is, PC wins, but then any gaming poll posted is entirely console focused. Almost like console manufacturers have some sort of investment in gamefaqs.

We had an entire week of what old console do you have.
Now it's do you like digital. Umm.

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/9238-got-a-gaming-quality-pc
89% of gamefaqs users play on PC. So most of their polls ignore 89% of users? What?

I'm pretty terrible at math.
Thankfully virtually nothing I learned or failed to learn in school has actually mattered in real life, or I'd be fucked.
I'm one of those people that cannot thrive in a group setting. So the entire concept of school with classes worked against me.

You can get surround sound from vinyl, unless you're specifically talking about music that's been deliberately recorded to be a surround experience, which is a pretty small subset. By its nature, surround sound is also not the most practical, being quite expensive for a decent setup and extremely limiting in where you have to listen to it.

Everyone's headphones have surround sound now. So I'd be shocked if we stay with stereo forever. Or a record players weird half stereo trick.

i don't get what the point of the deductible is... imagine paying for insurance and not being able to claim it

I don't get it either.
A minimum claim amount sure. Like car insurance with $500 deductible, if you have less than $500 in damage, you should pay the difference in deductible. There's a ton of work involved with an insurance claim.
So far the waiver when not at fault is the best we've got.

adjl posted...

It's a sound quality thing, mostly. In particular, most music recorded prior to the late 80's was recorded with the expectation that it would be played back on vinyl, so listening to it on vinyl is the "right" way to do it if you want the intended experience. Practicality considerations mean that only listening to music on vinyl doesn't make a lot of sense, but I can definitely see the appeal.

Now, cassettes? Those are marginally more convenient than vinyl, but that's the end of their value. CD's rendered them totally obsolete by being more convenient and having better sound quality, and that's only become more true as digital distribution has mostly replaced CD's.

I think surround sound music has made them all obsolete.

From what I hear, vinyl is making a big comeback

Yeah I can't figure out why. Every time I see how they are made and played, I can't help but see them as inferior.

No what they got now is much worse

Oblivion does have a better story.
But both are really basic.

Usually after 4 or 5 days I get home sick but that's it

I've had the damn disease 4 times already despite never going out. And I'm quadruple vaccinated.
The first time was the worst though, took me over a week, and I was out of breath for longer.
Second time I never felt anything, third time I got sick for a day, 4th time I never felt anything again.
I was vaccinated for all these because my medical condition bumped me up the priorities all even though early 30s, I got bumped up to the 60s group.

Hope you feel better soon, it's a really irritating virus

beard hides my double chin. I think it helps.
Wife likes it because the beard is softer than my 5 o-clock shadow and my skin doesn't like me shaving daily.

Killing Hitler was the plot for Red Alert.
Spoilers, it didn't help.

I think it was one of the higher body count ones. They took time to show us a world before destroying it

It does seem like racism and radicalism is getting worse every year.
Like to the point where I'm wondering if we need a disastrous war every 50 years or so just to remind us how to get along again.
Or maybe this is what happens when it's too easy to get information fake or otherwise instead of just believing what your government tells you?

Makes me hate the human race, we're terrible

15% of 4200 is the same as 4200% of 15.

True (i don't know, just guessing)
Both seem to be 630

You haven't gotten involved in simulations. Without algebra, you're useless when it comes to any of that.

The physical world runs off algebra and without people understanding it we wouldn't be able to create anything remotely advanced.

If the simulation uses single letter variable names then they can do fuck themselves

Math is honestly about problem solving and learning how to show why you think something's wrong or right.
Which people skip over into it being purely about algebraic numbers.

I blame calculus personally, and everyone saying it's the be-all end-all of mathamatics.

Algebra in my day was taught so stupidly. Letters, missing symbols, and moving parts around. It never made sense to me and still doesn't.
Also I do it 100s of times a day in programming. Nearly every single line you write in code is ultimately c = a + b. But the way it's represented and explained in algebra is beyond useless.

My wife tried to explain it to me but she kept giving me problems and I would just solve them mentally using tricks I learned over the years.
So I have to go with schools should customize their math teaching by student. And they won't obviously which means school is fundamentally flawed and will always result in below half students understanding math.
I have no idea what they teach in Canada presently

Yes dehydration and too much salt are major causes.

And you should still tell your doctor first. Exercise can also kill you

So Im definitely hypertensive? Not even life style changes?

It's the same thing.
You can try changing your life style and see if it helps. But still inform your doctor. They'll start a lot of damn tests. You might even get a stress test where they check your blood flow for blockages

I'm stage 2. Congrats and welcome to the club

For awhile. We've even had snow the last week or so.

Where the hell do you live that you're getting hundreds of kids and consider that low? I feel like the only places that dense would mostly be apartments, and do kids really go trick or treating at apartments?

Edit: Didn't see the edit

Yeah do the math, i had 1500 candies to give each kid 3. Crazy I know. I have lots extra, so time to fatten coworkers

And you have to realize living in a hick town, the kids come in riding trailers pulled by quads and on the backs of trucks. It's crazy. I love it. I'm glad the culture is fear hasn't really hit here.

Yeah only had 350 kids this year. The snow kept them away, usually get 500.

People find it shocking that a town of 2000 people has 500 kids trick or treating lol. But the entire town and neighboring towns come to my street. So it's pretty busy. Same with Xmas.

Add the no unaddressed mail sticker to your box.

Yeah. I dropped that shit when you could no longer sync multiple emails. Everything MS updates they remove features

I have to use a Mac for xcode. I really hate working on this thing.
Why is everything combined always in the app bar? Why do I have to every fucking time click play in Android studio, then right click the studio icon and choose the emulator window? Why can't it just be there always? Why does it not have one for my second screen? Why can it not expand properly when the dock is open on that screen? Why does closing a window, like brave, mean lose your entire session, but app ->quit does not? Why does it take hours, fucking hours to do updates? And then more hours to update xcode? Why in 2023 does mac not have clipboard history?
On and on, how do people work on these pieces of junk? Mac is so garbage you can't even change the speed of your mouse. It's not an option. All you can change is the acceleration. It's incorrectly labeled as speed but it's acceleration. You can't change the speed of scrolling either so you flick your scroll wheel to go one line and it shoots to the bottom of the page because you scrolled one click too fast.

However I can't complain about printers and Mac. Windows has that shit show for the last 30 years.
To the point that all my windows desktops still can't figure out my printer. My Mac, click add printer, it finds it wirelessly and works. Android? Same, finds it wirelessly and works. My nix laptop? Wirelessly and works. Only windows can't figure out printers.

So it seems the rack and pinion on my car is shot in some way (they didn't go into detail). Serious repair.

They said I have to pay around $1000 OOP to get it fixed, which is definitely a sting. But thank fuck for that warranty because THEY'RE on the hook for about $3000.

So, yeah, the warranty works... :\

I'm surprised they haven't claimed you hit a pot hole or something and it's your fault.

Solid_Sonic posted...

I'm already down $190 just for them to tell me what's wrong (even though I can convey this very easily) and that isn't even under my used warranty (I didn't buy the car from them).

But knowing what dealerships charge I wouldn't be surprised if this repair hit the mid-$1000s so at least having that covered will be a relief.

Let us know if they try to weasel out of the warranty, historically buying the warranty was a bad idea because the cars were reasonably reliable and when something went wrong the dealership would find some excuse to not do the warranty anyways. But with today's cars maybe that has changed.

Solid_Sonic posted...

Mine's a hybrid Fusion. In addition to saying the steering is shot the car said lane assist was busted and "AdvanceTrac" needs servicing but I assume these are all tied into the same supersystem that manages the steering.

I was told the power steering is a sealed system in such a car, which means it's not directly user-serviceable. All feels like just making it so only Ford can maintain your vehicle at unreasonable markup...

I wonder why we didn't transition to electric steering?

But your right, right to repair isn't fully a thing yet so yes the manufacturers are purposely making it harder to maintain. Just imagine what you do when this is off warranty. Or maybe you move away from a Ford dealership and need someone else to work on it.
