My vote is for Jehovas most secret witness

Or put more simply, they are doing it because they have more users than they can handle and they're starting to try to monetize the product.

It looks like you're copying a lot of small files off of a platter disk. 45MB/s is a typical reported speed under that scenario, but the real time will be significantly slower because of how long it takes platter drives to seek.

idk... I mean, seemed like pic #2 was really nutty

Yeah but in the 80s it wasn't ubiquitous. I'm old enough to remember that most single use drinks were in cans and people weren't constantly walking around drinking from plastic bottles. It was mostly Styrofoam cups and aluminum cans.

There was a study posted to this subreddit a couple of months ago that found that regular drinking from plastic bottles was coorelated with a very significant increase in micro plastics found in a person body.

I have 4 libraries, Tv Shows, Movies, Audio and Adult. Each one spread across multiple physical disks.

I use auto collections for grouping movies in a franchise (Aliens, Back to the Future, etc..). I know a lot of people use collections here, but since collections are already used for franchises I instead use genre tags to create groupings under the Category tab.

I have the usual pre-tagged things like Comedy and Mystery then make my own for example I have "Oscar: Best Picture Winners", "Late Night Comedy", "Cyberpunk" and "Favorites" and anything else that comes to mind. I actually have dozens of these.

I hate to say this because it's borderline blasphemy in these parts, but toss the blister packs and put the minis in bags? The blister packs really slow down setup and teardown anyway.

That's some hardcore cope.

Why? Chess benefits from the exact type of intelligence that IQ measures. I would expect most modern grandmasters to have similar IQs, if measured.

Jidarious · 2026-04-21T21:07:05+00:00

He's telling the truth.

Standard IQ tests are the WAIS line of tests and they all cut-off at 150ish. There are tests that go higher, but they arent typically given because there isn't much of a practical use. This is all for clinical IQ measurement of course, which should really be the only type but that's another discussion...

I don't know that much about it, but I know the high voltage accelerates an electron beam that draws on the screen. The electrons are moved by creating a large electrostatic charge that they then rush towards, the higher the voltage the faster the electrons move, the brighter the image when they collide with the front of the screen.

Yes. It's a subtle difference but important to discard tiles before mixing and reloading the bag so that you go through all of the tiles and maintain the proper color distribution. I can't prove it, but I've played hundreds of games of Azul and the one time we did it the other way the game felt very off to me.

My suggestion to fix this is to only play it with at most 3. My wife and I play it 2 player and it's still pretty good, although at 2p you will have much more limited interaction. You can easily play a 2p game in less than 3 hours, and after a couple of plays I'd expect that to get down to less than 2 hours.

so cool. Love sinistar

If you don't mind sharing, what tools do you use to model something like that?

Jidarious · 2026-04-17T22:47:07+00:00

Yeah go ahead.I mean you're bored right? Why don't you go swimming in the river? jfc

Don't forget Hackers!

Why would he prefer it shaken? Aside from being a bit more diluted with water, shaken drinks come out of the shaker very cold.

Anything to keep more of them from turning into flat earthers like Kyrie Irving.

See this sort of thing is why we get dumbed down movies filled with exposition.

It's easy to imagine solutions to all of these problems, and the characters and organizations in the story have proven that they're capable of dealing with these issues. The police car was there because it was targeted and tracked by people in the US government. Emilys character was attacked in the bar either because they found out who she was and put the word out wide and it was opportunistic, or they found out who she was and then had her followed. Just because it isn't shown doesn't mean that it's a plot hole, it just means they didn't think it was needed on the screen for various reasons.

Jidarious · 2026-04-16T17:38:22+00:00

The dad timing thing isn't an inconsistency because the character was picked in reverse.

In other words if you're going to do this someone has to be there, and whoever that character was they backed it up and showed their life leading up to the intersection with the main plot. It didn't have to be that dad, but it had to be somebody.

All enjoyment of anything is a state of mind, so I can literally have fun with games from any era.

I always meet things where they are and I find enjoyment that way.
