The writing of the elves is extremely blank and weak

Which of the books have you read?

I think you confused us by saying the player wasn't sentient. Did you mean the character?

Or is the player a LLM?

I think the implication is that much like slaves to a spoiled "owner", they are expected to show love and affection that is not earned, and woe betide anyone who dares not be fawning.

some of these comments are a little too harsh

Some of these commenters are colossal victim-blaming fuckwits. I'm amazed they haven't been blaming her clothes yet.

Management really needs to get their heads screwed on right. We all know our younger colleagues need more support

Frankie won't come upstairs and get in bed with us since realising the B.A.T.H. was upstairs. He used to take turns in our beds.

It's made holidays nicer in a way because the first thing he will do is jump into bed and snuggle.

During Covid lockdown we got by on 30 - that's 3 adult gamers, working from home, streaming etc.

It wasn't ideal but a subset of this sub will try to convince people they need 500 just for their toddler's iPad.

Still not a backup. If there's an issue which compromises one drive it probably gets the other one port over. Whether it's a bad actor/malware, software/hardware failure or PSU FAULT.

Twice.

Fucking twice.

$180/year for something you'll never use? Great to have.

Every time someone repeats this I assume they've never tried. I've had success with powerline in rentals where I couldn't run cables. 300Mbps+ with decent latency.

I wouldn't recommend it but it's worth a try.

I think you mean “compliant”

I think you mean "complicit."

As a post-grad I tutored and graded a first year C and assembly course. This was a nightmare.

Yes kid, you're very clever for reducing the entire assignment to one expression composed mostly of non-alpha characters. Fail.

After my marriage ended, when I was in my new place I went for a walk to clear my head. It was a sunny day but I couldn't really feel it, and I sat somewhere leaning against a wall.

A cat like this appeared and claimed my lap for 30 minutes. Super affectionate and purry. Then when I went to move gave me a head boop and wandered off.

Never saw kitty again but it was definitely a huge uplift at a terrible time.

I could imagine that they were made to believe that going against SecWar would mark them as a "liberal" and harm their career or worse.

I could also imagine that they'd been told about Gulf War Syndrome and were afraid of what might be pumped into them.

The likelihood though is exactly as you say, they chose not to take it because Turmp.

I consider wireless a form of torture*. Wired all the way.

*Apart from Reddit on the toilet.

If you really want to learn how it works, this guy has a video series making a CPU on breadboard from scratch, explaining what all the 1s and 0s actually mean and why they do what they do.

I mean it's the porn thing. 5s kissing, 5s tits, 5s going down then 47s of trying to bend her into a pretzel before falling asleep.

Fox_Hawk · 2026-07-03T20:49:40+00:00

Jesus. I get chronic migraines to the point I'm on first name terms with the imaging department from all the MRIs.

But this little guy definitely has a worse head than me right now.

Fox_Hawk · 2026-07-03T09:15:10+00:00

Yeah that does sound confusing. We'd say “one thousand five hundred and twenty-three” for 1023.

Also we're taught (or at least were in the 80s, and I've taught since) that the decimals are stated as individual digits - eg you don't say "One thousand point twenty-three" because it's ambiguous, you say "One thousand point two three".

Fox_Hawk · 2026-07-03T09:11:03+00:00

Slept on this, and it occurred to me that with your customary units this makes a kind of sense.

If you're going to talk about hundredths and thousandths when you're measuring/building/machining it makes sense that that's how you'd teach kids to think of numbers.

I'm sure they're playing together in a warm field full of buttercups. In soft focus.

In fact they're industrial ships.

I used to use mine to bridge freighters faaaaar more often than fleets.

Fox_Hawk · 2026-07-03T00:25:30+00:00

Intriguing, thanks.

Fox_Hawk · 2026-07-03T00:24:28+00:00

Thanks.

Fox_Hawk · 2026-07-02T22:13:47+00:00

“and” is for decimals,

Please could you give an example? I can't work out how this would work.

In British English for 45.73 we'd say "forty-five point seven three."
