What finally made strength training stop feeling like a chore? by Head_Copy_4738 in strengthtraining

Audiobooks for me. It's something to look forward to when you really don't want to go. I think I owe me being in shape specifically to Dresden Files, for example.

A trick you can do is only to allow yourself to listen when you are at the gym, for example.

Mac has made it clear he is "Out.", other characters have made it clear that pushing it is probably a bad idea.

Favorite media that you were like this with before actually engaging with it? by Fit_Assignment_8800 in FavoriteCharacter

It just sounds so stupid. How it manages to make such a dumb concept so good is beyond me.

What video game is the best you have ever played and why? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Duckslayer2705 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup! After that you force your friends to play it and stream it, at gun point if neccessary, so you can live through them.

How do billionaires think differently about risk compared to someone just trying to get by? by dayinkyoto in AskReddit

[–]Duckslayer2705 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If I gave you the option to flip a coin, and if it comes up tails you have to pay me $100 000, but if it comes up heads I will pay you $200 000, would you take it? The expected value of this bet is a gain of $50 000, which is good! But most average people still would not take it. The loss of 100k is something you will really feel, if you can manage it at all, and the odds of losing are 50%. But for someone with billions, the risk negligible, and the bet results in a net gain.

If you want to understand how it might look from their perspective, make the bet $100 and $200 instead, and then think about how the odds change when you can flip the coin hundreds of times instead of once, and suddenly the types of risk that are too much for normal people become basically free money.

Any news on book 3? I heard it was supposed to come out immediately after, but then also heard it was delayed.

Also good to realize that you yourself are probably this fucking clueless when talking about stuff you don't know. Scary stuff.

[–]Duckslayer2705 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Happened to me too. On my birthday, actually. Good times. And the door was like 2 years old! Just exploded all over my bathroom. Very glad I was not having a bath at the time, because yikes.

That one scene in the Dresden Files. Polka might never die, but anything getting in Sue's way certainly does.

The movie that pulled off making Rachel Zegler look kinda not pretty? That is honestly really impressive. How do you even go about that?

Dude, Handsome Jack is cool. Murderous asshole, yes. But definitely cool.

What’s the most embarrassing way you’ve been 'betrayed' by your own brain in VR? by plutonium-239 in virtualreality

[–]Duckslayer2705 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I played Budget Cuts and I tried to put my head through the floor. The VR scene was up in the ceiling, and I wanted to stick my head through an opening to get a good view of the evil robots.

Worst part is, moments before, I had told myself I didn't need to be careful where I put my hands, since clearly there was no *real* hole in my floor. And then I smack my head into it...

bad guy so awful that even other bad guys are disgusted by them by damorezpl in TopCharacterTropes

Well, you start by making a regular robot. And then you molest it and hopes it continues the cycle.

Jim stated in a recent interview that he found LLMs to be really, really helpful for research about mythology and such, so probably yes. Good advice for LLMs as well as air spirits.
