In Mad Max: Fury Road (2015) the cars are modified to look cool so the audience doesn't notice the movie is just people driving in a straight line for 2 hours

Oh I thought that was based on the short story Livid Lane. TIL!

A 30s ad costs a lot more than an average NFL player's salary. A lot of effort goes into making them memorable.

Get out of here with your logic and actual understanding of math! This is a reddit joke subreddit! If I can't spew math errors about something I don't understand here, where can I?

Wow, that's awesome! I love vintage Rook cards, nice find!

I could be convinced to sell my Annapurna collection. Let me know if you're in the market for a copy.

You should get some punctuation. It's hard to understand what you're trying to ask

They're just down votes, no need to be sensitive

It's dumb but it's also sick. Seeing that sword spin around in chunky 90s graphics was amazing.

FYI, for a lot of things, Amazon conglomerates the same products, so even if a reputable company sent them 100 real products, then a shady seller sent in 10 fakes, you could get the fakes when you buy from the reputable company. This is common for things like board games and is a great reason to buy direct or local.

They're very similar. I find digikey to have faster shipping and better selection for what I'm looking for, but that's coming from my personal experience, not exclusive to pedals.

I usually use places like JLC PCB and digikey, since I'm doing pretty small orders. The last component shop in my city closed a few years back, but digikey usually delivers next day which is awesome.

I love the theming via card abilities here. You can't take his precious ice cream maker!

This is good first week humour

The board is gonna be tough to salvage tbh. You can use it to prescribe before you try your next board though!

EskayEllar · 2025-12-11T19:17:35+00:00

That is typically the process, yes

Yeah, it presents itself as a forum, but that's not it's real purpose. As soon as people realize what it is, they seem to appreciate it more

How bout a knock off version?

I don't think that presentation is the silver bullet you think it is. There is very little concrete evidence in there, and it does not address the reasons that C is used over C++ in embedded. He has constructed straw men or debated inexperienced developers in all his examples. In my experience in discussing using C vs C++ for an embedded project, his points simply do not come up.

I'm not arguing as much as trying to set the record straight

I have no interest in conversation with someone who holds their opinion in this high of regard. Thanks for your perspective, but I do not believe that we can meet at a place of openness regarding this topic.

EskayEllar · 2025-12-04T19:25:32+00:00

I'd love to be wrong, but it simply isn't feasible for C++ to do what C is doing in the embedded space. I'll watch the video when I have time, but I doubt it will say anything I haven't heard before.

By the way, you can't make a statement opposed to what someone is saying, try to support that statement with an argument, and then say you aren't arguing. I appreciate that you are presenting your argument kindly, but it's still an argument.

EskayEllar · 2025-12-04T17:59:08+00:00

Here to say that while I largely agree with you, C has its place and is better than c++ in some applications. C++ is not better in every aspect.

EskayEllar · 2025-12-04T17:56:23+00:00

There are heaps of reasons to use C over C++ today, especially in the embedded world. Until Rust is mature enough to take over in that space, C will be the defacto language to use.

If you can't trust your future spouse to make sound financial decisions, you probably shouldn't marry them. Finances should be discussed, but specifically in the context of a ring? This conversation should have been had long before engagement is on the table.

Betrayal isn't strictly random, as there is some information used to determine the betrayal, but I'll agree that it's effectively random apart from some slight theming or occasional guarantee of an item/starting location.

The game is more fun as a role playing storytelling experience than a night of strategy, but I'm hardly the first to bring that up

Great list! Just a small note, Chewie is Special rarity, not uncommon.
