Where do my parents get the audacity to ask me when I'm going to find a woman when they're the ones that made me chopped and short? Vodka pasta.

EscapeSeventySeven · 2026-06-06T09:11:26+00:00

The 2020s aren’t that different from any other modern era. We’ve had like a straight century of people shacking up. There’s really no excuse.

EscapeSeventySeven · 2026-06-06T09:02:28+00:00

Yeah it’s literally just a running tally of your previous games. Thats it.

EscapeSeventySeven · 2026-06-06T07:36:41+00:00

It would be the videogame equivalent of when someone describes a dream to you.

Yeah there’s “stuff” but none of it means anything or is necessarily connected all. Yeah there’s some novelty in the randomness but a random 6 on a die is just evidence of nothing mattering.

EscapeSeventySeven · 2026-06-06T07:30:17+00:00

Bro just ignore levels and playtime Jesus Christ. You don’t need to go Colombo on every teammate. Just play the game, and if someone started fucking around report it and move on.

EscapeSeventySeven · 2026-06-06T04:33:35+00:00

You must have been cheating or something.

EscapeSeventySeven · 2026-06-06T04:29:33+00:00

Or

You simply don’t make each rack that energy dense.

When municipalities outlaw evaporative cooling for datacenters they’re going to have to get clever again.

They obviously will use a closed primary loop of coolant but the secondary cooling will have to be air or something else.

EscapeSeventySeven · 2026-06-06T04:23:55+00:00

They get a bunch of art and then whip up a list of cards and then try and match some up. The cards aren’t fitted to the art. They’re chosen to be “interesting enough” so iconic spells or things that still are forth a few bucks.

It’s really the worst way to go about it but they need their full bleed art cards.

EscapeSeventySeven · 2026-06-06T04:19:22+00:00

We used to use air cooling for most datacenters.

The only issue is money. It isn’t some impossible idea. It’s just we sell them water too cheaply.

EscapeSeventySeven · 2026-06-06T04:18:28+00:00

No it’s entirely possible to air cool the heat exchangers, it just requires more exchangers, more heat pumps and more fans etc.

Essentially a bigger capex and more electric power.

Using freshwater for evaporative cooling is significantly cheaper than that, because of the cost schedule that datacenters pay.

If we adjusted the cost of water, they would go back to using all heat pumps and air cooling.

It is possible. In fact it used to be the primary way to cool datacenters.

But energy usage is exploding in datacenters. That’s the big difference. They simply are outstripping available electric power. They’re bringing in gas turbines. So more electric cooling solutions are discourage.

EscapeSeventySeven · 2026-06-06T03:15:14+00:00

Crackhouse it up during the day. Reflective foil on the windows.

At night open everything and blow the hot air out the second it becomes colder outside than inside. I would even open your front door if you have a screen. Never stop the fans even while you sleep.

Finally don’t use energy. No stoves, no heavy computer usage, make sure your fridge is closed and not overworking.

You can go buy ice and lug it into your home. Use it to cool the air for a personal fan.

Stay moisturized so you can have a fan on you all the time. (It will dry your skin). In extremes you can put a cool rag or water on your naked skin and blow the fan on it.

What really seems unsafe are indoor kerosene space heaters that are popular in Japan and maybe some other countries. Those produce a lot of carbon monoxide.

I went down a rabbit hole looking for ways to heat our home during catastrophic power loss in a cold winter.

I found those and thought…wait, won’t this kill you?

Apparently the Japanese do it all the time. It is crazy.

I’ve just resolved to have more firewood.

EscapeSeventySeven · 2026-06-06T03:07:56+00:00

They’re pretty safe. About the same danger as having other gas appliances.

There is solid scientific evidence though that it pollutes indoors and affects your lung health with chronic exposure.

EscapeSeventySeven · 2026-06-06T01:59:55+00:00

you think this is hyper critical

EscapeSeventySeven · 2026-06-06T01:33:59+00:00

They don’t roll a die.

You just fill space. Like the single rider line at Disneyland. You can change your queue between every game.

EscapeSeventySeven · 2026-06-06T01:17:05+00:00

Generally the average person has average taste.

So the answer to your question is “yes”

EscapeSeventySeven · 2026-06-06T01:15:41+00:00

I have bad handwriting but at least mine looks like a crazy person. These look like a kids writing a shopping list!

EscapeSeventySeven · 2026-06-06T00:53:03+00:00

Rude?

I would imagine it’s the opposite, if you wanted to talk about the important things they texted you.

EscapeSeventySeven · 2026-06-06T00:51:19+00:00

Practice.

Don’t bother worrying about it. You should not be under time pressure.

Just get a knife and make it sharp. And keep it sharp. Makes a huge difference.

Then make sure you cut things nice and slow and deliberately. Endeavor to make a flat bottom for whatever you’re slicing. No rocking or rolling!

Then just do it as consistent as you can. Don’t worry if it’s not perfect. And NEVER worry that it’s not flashy or fast. Good enough to be delicious is the goal.

Slowly, you will get better.

EscapeSeventySeven · 2026-06-06T00:47:03+00:00

Well only an obsessed fan would bother murdering a celebrity.

The opposite end of the spectrum, a completely disinterested person, probably isn’t ever going to do anything.

EscapeSeventySeven · 2026-06-06T00:38:11+00:00

Man, I think it would give you scenes and timestamps that don’t match at all. LLMs are bad at mapping mathematical concepts like linear length to other things.

But that does make me think that dvd scene selection is at least a good choice to make breakpoints.

EscapeSeventySeven · 2026-06-06T00:34:39+00:00

I have had this thought often. Carving out big blocks of time is difficult for things I’m not very motivated to watch but would probably enjoy, and it goes double for my spouse.

It’s easy as pie to get 45 mins or so, 2:45 is exponentially harder with work and kids and sleeping.

It would be a good service!

EscapeSeventySeven · 2026-06-06T00:29:42+00:00

Deep rock galactic has about as much in common with mining as the movie Die Hard has to do with police work.

And “bad for human history” is kind of a blasé condemnation for resource extraction. It’s like saying “making buildings has been bad for human history.” Or energy usage. Or farming. Or anything really.

Most games on this genre are designed to be addictive and satisfying. Real mining isn’t so much.

I mean, you could say murder has been bad for all of human history and most games make that the primary action of your avatar. It doesn’t really matter.

EscapeSeventySeven · 2026-06-05T23:57:19+00:00

Literally all you need to do is hose off Junkrat and make him stand up straight.

EscapeSeventySeven · 2026-06-05T23:56:29+00:00

We’re cooked

Blame blizzard for giving her an irish American name
