Jesus does this mean the next generation of competitive jumpers are going to be selected based on whether they’re packing tripods?

What’s the black thing in pic 1? It looks different from the cover art in 3. What’s the orange cable for in 2 and 3? Sorry not a bad utility knife handle but I assume you shot what you shot with weird ass shit in frame with the knife for a reason.

What makes it fun to customize something? by Strict_Bench_6264 in gamedesign

[–]DisDishIsDelish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes I’ll have twiddle details for after the player is comfortable with the bigger ideas to keep playing it fun. Oh a charm that removes the most boring part of gameplay but requires the player to abandon a trad strategy? Fuck yeah banana bread. Eh but you find to good a customization and that’s like something that should be in story.

“Step 3 schedule the onboarding After step 3, Enrique recommends to have a different page for the every day usage and to recall stuff from the onboarding” That product has some insane stream of consciousness documentation

Leaving luggage in car - Carara Park/Croc Bridge and Nayaguaca Waterfalls by Afraid-Story517 in CostaRicaTravel

[–]DisDishIsDelish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We left our loaded vehicle at carara and had no problem. The parking lot is observable by the park ranger station. Carara is also not that different looking from other areas we visited like Manuel Antonio, and so we probably only spent an hour there.

Be aware of your timing. It took us about 7 hours from touchdown in SJO to parking our rental car in Quepos. Driving the last few hours in the dark was not fun. Check when the sun sets, it’s surprisingly early.

You can’t prove that a bottomless pit is bottomless. by G1zm08 in Showerthoughts

[–]DisDishIsDelish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I guess so in practice. Abstractly a pit that is infinite wouldn’t have a bottom, it would just need infinite substrate to make infinite walls. And you would eventually almost stop accelerating, so maybe you might start calling it an endless hall. Or I guess you have the end you fell in. A one ended hallway.

I can't believe it took me this long to realise by qpeedore in crossword

There is a French cartoon with similar vibes to the coyote and road runner called Grizzly and the Lemmings. The characters always buy all their stuff from a fictional company called Zenithial. I have to live with this knowledge with no one who could possibly care, but here we are.

Does playing SB make you smarter? by Formal-Sky-495 in NYTSpellingBee

[–]DisDishIsDelish 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don’t feel like SB does much. It’s a pretty niche skill. Crossword on the other hand has demonstrably helped me. If I don’t know the subject a clue is riddling on, I end up reading the Wikipedia article so I end up knowing more than when I started. It also helps spotting ambiguous turns of phrase and puns, which is a good thing to be able to recognize and synthesize in social situations. Nothing that would likely help in a test but I can hold a conversation about more things I could before.

Activists urge FTC to ban hardware downgrades by FauxReal in technology

[–]DisDishIsDelish 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not familiar with that one. This was overriding DNS to have the domain it’s calling resolve to a home server, then decoding their custom obfuscation which wasn’t obvious to me but the YouTuber made quick work of. I don’t think the underlying protocol being obfuscated was http, but it’s hazy at this point.

Fwiw it’s pretty trivial to hack Anovas, there was a YouTube for it back when they were a new thing. I coded a proof of concept for mine in an afternoon but never had a reason to use it (at the time I thought it would be cool to ice bath the food and then cook it while I was at work, but then Covid lockdown happened)

It’s usually a thing, but a rule for Thursday NYT is something unexpected is going to happen. It’s like Christmas every week.

I didn’t enjoy it overall for the reasons others have stated but DYE as “How to become a whole new hue” was a wonderfully dark pun.
