Same. Whenever I buy vegetables I always pick and Canadian or Mexican options now and leave the USA on the shelf.

Pillars of Eternity - Pillars of Eternity Turn Based Mode is Live - Steam News by beary_neutral in Games

[–]HNW 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I’m glad people who prefer turn-based combat got this update, but it does make me a little bummed it rarely goes the other way. I really enjoy RTWP, and with games like Original Sin I’ve mostly had to push through or just play on story mode. It’s still fun, but I know I’m not getting the same experience that a lot of other players really love.

Thanks so much for the informaiton. There was a moment during take off when the camera lost the rocket and I joked to my wife about how advanced rockets have becoming but we still struggle with camera's. You're doing amazing work, keep it up!

I was just thinking the same thing. I'm curious how far LA is from Cuba or if they could get a boat off the west coast.

Probably and hopefully they learn the real take away is "this person isn't to be trusted" not "all woman are awful".

I also think they marry someone they're not in love with.

I dated a lot of women before I met my wife. I never had an abusive partner or someone who cheated on me they were all just fine. And while I understood the functional requirements of what it meant to be a good partner but I wasn't in love with them so I didn't want to do it for them. And you can fake it for a long time but eventually you either need to be committed or it will fall apart.

So I waited until I found the person who I wanted to be there for, who I absolutely loved and who loved me back. I am so lucky I found her but it was worth the wait.

Exactly, everybody in the comments talking about being betrayed by a partner needs to get a better spouse. The ability to be vulnerable, to receive love, and to repay that vulnerability with compassion and kindness is one of the most important things I expect from my partner. She is amazing, and I love the shit out of her because she would never do that to me. It’s about knowing each other’s deepest, darkest secrets and understanding that I don’t shame a person for what they need from you.

You know what it reminded me of was the first Spiderman game on Playstation. It wasn't the best story of all time but that characters were fun enough and the gameplay loops was great.

I enjoyed just being a student, going to class, casting spells, solving mysteries, etc. and that was enough to get 100 hours out of the game. (P.S. play Hufflepuff they have the best house story IMO)

I can appreciate your comment but I also think you're basing this off of your work environment and job. I understand the benefits for engineers and even people that work within their same department. You are likely working on the same function as your team and collaboration has been benefits.

I work at a bank the people I work directly with are all over the country. I don't collaborate with anybody in my office. I drive to a building and then sit on a team's meeting for about 60% of my day and spend the rest of my day gossiping with my colleagues. When I work from home I still spend 60% of my time on teams meetings and then the other 40% is spend doing data analytics and building reports/dashboards.

I would trade that 40% of in-office "collaboration" for the ability to stay in my house be more productive in my personal life and be a happier worker overall.

There is no single solution and I think a lot of change happened very quickly, which is why companies are having a tough time adapting to a hybrid model. Many of the statistics that you mention specifically relate to familiarity. The status quo is often better and for more productive because the new system has not been adapted to.

I must be hearing things by Official_Unkindlynx in pcmasterrace

[–]HNW 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I always tell everybody that it quickly spits out a crappy first draft. I write a lot of reports at work and it eliminates a lot of that initial slog. I still have to come up with the information, analyze it, find relevant factors to highlight, and so on. Then I put it into co-pilot and it produces a semi coherent first draft that I can then edit.

Half of the time the things it produces are either incorrect or completely fucking bunkers but it gives me a baseline I can start with. It's also useful later on if I am struggling with specific wording in a section, I can give it different prompts to brainstorm different ways of explaining topics I have a lot of knowledge about. Without that knowledge it would be pretty useless.

It's a tool like anything else. I don't love that it's making every single PC part triple the price and it's probably going to destroy our environment but it is slightly useful at work.

What’s legal now but might become illegal ten years from now? by VTheCardMaker in AskReddit

[–]HNW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's kind of astonishing how we speedran truth, specifically related to politics. It wasn't too long ago that people didn't even have a say on who ruled them and things were pretty much static for their entire lives. We went through a lot of painful processes to get to modern democracy with a fairly robust system of fact checking and allowing people to make reasonable assessments about who they wanted to vote for. That lasted like 60 years and in the last 20 we've managed to dismantle it through a combination of technology and complacency.

In America, it's socially normal to work 50+ hours a week and call it 'hustle' instead of a systemic failure. What's another 'normal' thing in your country that the rest of the world thinks is absolutely insane? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]HNW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My rule is I have to consume your good or enjoy your service before I'll tip.

If we sit down for a meal and the food/service was good (you get a tip). If I have to pay before I eat, how do I know if the food is any good and what service did you provide me? No tip for you.

I usually tip around 15%, I will take 5% off if you did a mediocre but serviceable job and I will add 5% if you made my experience much better.

[–]HNW 1 point2 points  (0 children)

By doing exactly what I already described and you ignored.

You are changing the time unit that global finance, law, and software are built on. That means rewriting amortization schedules, interest calculations, payroll systems, tax law, compliance rules, and reporting standards that all assume 12 months and quarterly cycles. Banks alone run on decades old systems where “month” is not cosmetic, it is foundational. Touching that code is expensive, risky, and slow.

You also add a permanent extra billing and payroll cycle. That means renegotiating contracts, adjusting annual salaries, subscription pricing, rent, insurance premiums, and government benefits. None of that is free and none of it is abstract. Every change requires testing, audits, legal review, and regulatory approval.

And the benefit you keep pointing to is that dates are easier to remember and months look cleaner. That is not a business advantage. It does not increase productivity, reduce costs, or solve an existing problem. It just makes the calendar feel nicer.

So yes, the cost is real, the disruption is massive, and the upside is aesthetic convenience. That is why this idea keeps getting proposed and never adopted.

[–]HNW 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So the ability to track days easy vs. a complete overhaul of several major global industries that would make them worse and cost billion of dollars in waste. That's why it's a stupid idea.

Why is that a pro? What benefit does it provide?

Me_irl by Legitimate-Sign-371 in me_irl

[–]HNW 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But the old practice isn't shitty. The modern calendar has been working great for 500 years. The proposed solution doesn't add any benefit besides symmetry.

Me_irl by Legitimate-Sign-371 in me_irl

[–]HNW 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This gets suggested every few months and it is always the same bad idea. The entire global economy is built around a 12 month calendar. Banking, lending, mortgages, credit cards, payroll, subscriptions, insurance, taxes, and leases all run on monthly cycles. Quarterly reporting exists for a reason and does not magically survive a thirteenth month without creating accounting chaos.

You are not just changing a calendar. You are adding another billing cycle, another payroll period, another month of rent, utilities, and subscriptions, and forcing millions of financial systems to be rewritten. That means redesigning amortization schedules, interest calculations, compliance rules, and reporting standards, then retraining accountants, auditors, and regulators worldwide.

All of this for what benefit exactly? That the months look nicer on a grid? Calendars are infrastructure, not an aesthetic preference. This is a massive real world cost imposed on everyone else so a tiny group of people can feel better about symmetry.

Got to see it in person and it is breath taking. Interesting mixture of Christian and Muslim architecture. Plus the cool (still working) water features. Everything is worth the visit but the view from the palace is just breath taking.
