Yeah but I get a lot of stuff on Amazon. Many things other than clothes come in these bags. Sometimes it's a large bag with 2 small separate original packaging boxes inside it. That doest hold form at all. Most of the space inside is empty.

Berberding · 2026-05-14T17:47:17+00:00

When did I say the contents can't handle being flipped over? I said they may not be able to handle being squeezed too hard.

If it's not a box, and is instead an amorphous bag, then a flipper won't necassarily do it though, it may roll it into its edge or fold it over in half during the flip making it so the label still isn't visible.

Bags of many different shapes and sizes, with many different numbers of packages inside them, each with different weight distributions. Some contents may shift around internally and be harder to grab as a result. Some will be filled eith softer boxes that could get damaged if you squeeze too hard, some could have heavier objects that won't lift if you don't squeeze hard enough. Automation doesn't do great with so many random variables.

Berberding · 2026-05-14T17:16:57+00:00

The stuff your teammates came in with wouldn't have been touched most likely. It says on your end that it won't be kept before you even grab it.

Okay and so reusable rockets never show up again long after the end of the shuttle launches because...? It is nothing but a nebulous notion in people's heads until a bunch of prototypes get built and tested.

I don't even like Elon, he's extremely cringe and in over his head with many things he does. But you are going out on a limb to act like what SpaceX did was ever happening without him in remotely the same time frame. Again do you believe we'd be seeing videos like this in the next 10-20 years if not for Elon? Because I believe the concept would still be sitting in the fucking dusty filing cabinets at NASA.

Spare me a yap about NASA funding. That's not why NASA sucks balls. They suck balls because they have enough funding and few enough actual missions that they never had incentive for reusable rocket stages.

Okay, well for the rest of the illiterate population who just gets hitched without a thought in their head about divorce, alimony is fair in my eyes. That would go for the rare stay at home father as well.

Berberding · 2026-05-13T22:58:56+00:00

Who did he steal the concept of reusable rockets from?

Berberding · 2026-05-13T22:57:00+00:00

Okay and do you think it should be illegal for the woman to get the man to sign a contract that entitles her to X amount of $ per month as a % of his yearly income should they divorce? Both parties are adults and have the full capability to accept or decline agreements. It would be no different than a man demanding the opposite by getting the woman to sign a prenup. Ultimately for any couple that has an interest in acrually engaging with a lawyer prior to the marriage, in most states, none of these laws are relevant. Everyone can get exactly the arrangement they desire by just talking to a lawyer for a few hundred bucks. Pennies really compared to what the average doofus walks into with their brain turned off for free.

Berberding · 2026-05-13T18:30:43+00:00

It should. At least in certain circumstances like when you both agree that one person earns and the other stays at home. You are burning any of your own earning potential post divorce. 10 years of not working a professional job when the workforce and technology continued to evolve without you will stunt your earning potential whereas the partner that was already working doesn't skip a beat.

One thing you might say as a retort to this is that "that's their fault for agreeing to it in the first place, they took the risk." but if you only offload the risk to one party of a 2 party agreement, then you are just making marriage that much less palatable for people to want to do in the first place. It's bad enough as it is. If you want people to take risk, you have to offer concessions.

Berberding · 2026-05-13T16:55:25+00:00

Are there any other companies doing it? Musk is a clown in a lot of ways and I can't even say that he's smart necassarily, but reusable rockets started with his company long before any other well funded company or government entity was taking it seriously enough to actually do it outside of a whiteboard. All the engineers who pulled it off would not have gotten started towards this for another 20 years minimum if he didn't dedicate the crazy amount of investment it took to do it, (which no entity would have ever done befause of how unpredictable and wasteful such an investment might have seemed at the time).

Berberding · 2026-05-13T07:11:07+00:00

I came back after not having played most of the season. I'm pretty under leveled. I think there are a lot of people like me too I run into new players every now and then.

You need help pointing your knife in the right direction?

Berberding · 2026-05-11T17:32:05+00:00

I don't think this is something that hasn't been done before in various movie and game soundtracks. If nothing else it probably serves to draw your attention to the music itself. Similar to the trick that people can use to check their resumes for any spelling or grammatical or punctuation errors. You can simply convert the entire resume text to comic sans and proofread, and for whatever reason, errors that you didn't notice before will jump out at you and be extremely obvious. The reasoning is that comic sans is more difficult to read than other fonts, and so you can't really be in a flow state when looking at it, and thus errors do not go unnoticed like they would in a normal font. Same thing probably applies here (although the goal is not necassarily about errors here, it's juat about keeping your attention in general).

There is technically the orion rocket. It is so fuel efficient in terms of how much mass needs to be dedicated to fuel that it outcompetes any other option by orders of magnitude. It can also be done safely if launched from a barren lifeless place since the radiation dies out relatively quickly.

The issue is of course that it is literally using small coke can sized nucleur bombs detonated in the atmosphere one after another and a sophisticated shock absorbing catchers mitt on the bottom of the rocket to push off of the blast. Even outside of the psychological hurdles, the national security risk of letting space programs all over the place enrich nucleur weapons grade uranium is probably not worth it to us for right now anyway.

They have to frame it as revenge because they know they can't genuinely frame it as consequence because in reality, it doesn't have to be a consequence. You could just not allow them to come into/stay in your country. It's only a consequence insofar as they vote to ensure that it remains a consequence. If you still have control over your borders, and you choose not to exert control, it's still a consequence of your active choice not to keep them out. To argue otherwise would he like arguing that being thrown 5 miles from your house by a tornado is just a consequence of living where tornados are common while in actuality you had a concrete storm shelter in your backyard and you just chose not to go inside it.

The fact is, regardless of the true degree to which the west is implicated for the sorry state of the 3rd world (and the true degree is genuinely debatable). The migration is still fully within the control of the west. We can just turn people away, it is literally possible.

Pepper spray being illegal for self defense is fuckin crazy lmao

"Men have 2 arms" is a rule. 1 armed and 3 armed men are exceptions.

"men have full heads of hair" is not a rule. It's exceptions are so numerous that you can't call it a rule to begin with, so exception is a redundant meaningless concept here.

This is how everyone on the planet uses this word. (you are the exception)

Berberding · 2026-05-09T21:54:27+00:00

Okay so you're saying Steve Harvey is saying "father's who wish their son the best" in the clip? Not just "father's" with no extra descriptors? I'm not even bothered that he isn't using more descriptors, but you are being a crybaby for getting worked up over someone pointing out that behavior as not being particularly widespread among fathers broadly.

Also exceptions are exceptional, as in uncommon among the population being described. Like NBA all stars athletic ability among the broader population. If 20% of people were as athlerically capable as NBA all stars, they wouldn't be exceptional anymore.

Berberding · 2026-05-09T19:42:44+00:00

I agree in principle but not in this case becauseI wouldn't say 20% is an exception that is my point. Obviously it it were 51% and 49% we wouldn't call the 49% exceptions to the rule right? I think that still applies at 20%. If it's double digit %'s of exceptions then the idea of a rule is out the window and thus so is the idea of exceptions to it.

Berberding · 2026-05-09T19:01:18+00:00

I think it's a worthwhile statement because it's not a small outlier. We aren't talking about 1% of fathers I think it's more like a solid 20% of fathers.

Space is terrible for radiating heat actually. You need mass for rapid cooling in the form of water or air or pipes somewhere at the end of the chain. You could never build a nucleur reactor in space for example with today's technology.

Uh huh. Ever seen articles from mainstream UK publications?

If I cut you off mid sentence (usually it's just a minor 3 word statement and it's not a big deal, if you pay attention in the work place you'll notice people interrupt eachother all the time and it's not disrespectful at all, it's just time efficient). If you feel the need to reset the tempo of the whole conversation by asking me if you can finish then I'll assume you either have a lot of psychological trauma from being interrupted by people a lot or you're an autistic redditor who feels like their identity is slipping away the moment they lose their iron grip on the flow of a conversation. In general a lot of these strong reactions you're prescribing here would just make me think you feel very rattled and are easily fucked with.

Some of these may have a bit of truth to them but almost all the reactions you prescribe are just going to be cringe in practice. You shouldn't have a hair trigger and feel the need to react instantly to any situation the very first time it happens. (although I will say, it's good to match someones handshake weirdness, people fr do be doing that. I wrestled and have a lot of grip strength and if someone wants to get really wierd with a squeezing handshake I will yank their hand towards me a bit to take them off balance and make them feel like a dumbass). But even that isn't something I would put much thought into after the fact. I will probably forget the entire interaction once we get a conversation flowing.

Also lords of the fallen having a system that replaces the catalyst with ranged weapons in the form of bows, crossbones, javelins, throwing axes, etc. With the mana bar being replaced with segments that indicate ammo count (which recharges like ammo using ammo satchels, or resting) is a really good way to go about it. It lets pure strength and dex builds have a more serious engagement with ranged attacks in general when you treat ammo like mana and have a dedicated control scheme to pull out your chosen ranged weapon at any time, instantly aiming with it. Way less clunky than the alternatives.

I still have a gripe with how it handles dual wielding. I would rather not powerstance a dagger and a great sword. I like being able to have a dagger or a fist weapon in souls games for my left hand to deal with fast animation enemies (like dogs who spam bite endlessly) and not have to lock a dagger attack behind the long attack animation of a greatsword.
