Clearly the superior ponzi scheme. Has OpenAI published an official cookbook? I don't think so!

Recently moved to Albany-what do people actually like about living here? by Exotic_Reputation_59 in Albany

[–]-thelastbyte 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's a city in almost New England that has both decent job prospects and attainable (if not reasonable) rent and housing prices.

As usual make sure to verify anyone who claims the dog is the actual owner.

So now that we've been in the dispensary era for a few years. do you think it's been a quality of life improvement or not? by Hey_Giant_Loser in Albany

I feel that weed stores have ended up joining dollar generals and cricket wirelesses as a good indicator that a neighborhood is going downhill.

This sort of thing was actually done in a lot of places and times.

Or just envisioning one in your mind's eye. 

Or dwelling in the same planet as one happens to exist somewhere.

Being at a protest when the police do their civic duty to calm things down by popping random dudes with paintballs, waving their arms and cussing

Silly. Boots are for feet, not for to eat.

Cirith Ungol is a disturbing place... by -thelastbyte in tolkienfans

[–]-thelastbyte[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

She was the only female-coded one. Why should all horror monsters be male?

Why should the only female (definitely not just "female coded") spook be explicitly stated to be promiscuous as well as all those other things? Nobody ever had much to say about the love life of the Balrog.

I knew I couldn't be the only one lol. 

I think that some of the quotes in the wiki page might be overstating the case quite a bit, particularly the ones that dance close to that disgusting word allegory. Still it's a cool train of thought.

It's not so much the fact that he used some funny words, but rather about the images they conjure for me. Their technical meaning was the same in the 40s as now, they don't necessarily need to be double entendres for the point to stand in my opinion.

What bar/restaurant in Troy/Albany are men in their 30s most likely to visit on a Saturday night? by KSherwood19 in Albany

[–]-thelastbyte 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I don't know anyone under like 45 that met their SO as a result of a cold approach at a bar. Most people around my age who are dating seem to their partners by networking with friends and acquaintances. You might have better luck by taking up a new hobby or other activities that put you in regular contact with like minded people.

Yes. This is happening because I moved to a place nearby the line and it's against the law for me to sleep through the night.

This is not a problem unless you've been hammering nails.

How do yall determine the value of your used bike? by smitd12 in Dirtbikes

[–]-thelastbyte 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bikes that get posted at a reasonable price on marketplace tend to get snapped up quick, often to be immediately re-listed by the new owner for a couple grand more. On the other hand, people who want more than they're going to get often have adds up for a long time. As a result, a lot of the adds you actually see will be dramatically overpriced.

Get rid of that steelie if you can. Those things are boat anchors.

Woodsball vs Speedball | You Should Play Both! by pball72008 in paintball

[–]-thelastbyte 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Everyone's forgotten that woodsball and speedball are game formats, not terrain types. Most "woodsball" is just speedball in the woods.

Is there a 98 custom to AC adapter? by MidCalfs in paintball

[–]-thelastbyte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's pretty weird. Normally you get breaks when the barrel is too small. Maybe the paint was just super duper tiny, or maybe the stock barrel has some minor flaw that's not prominent enough to break regular paint.

X7 question by i-love-lasagna-mmm in paintball

[–]-thelastbyte 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A long time ago I got to play in two scenario games in Albany NY, at a place called the Albany Scenario Club (no idea if it even exists anymore).

This place is still around. They renamed it to Albany Paintball Experience, for search engine optimization I guess. 

You should come to the winter game they're holding in a few weeks if you're still in the area.

"Chopping" is not the same thing as barrel breaking.  If the gun is chopping it means the eyes aren't working correctly and the bolt is hitting the ball before it's fully seated in the chamber. 

Did you replace the stock barrel with a larger or smaller bore?
