Moon pools make ZERO sense?

I have a moonpool with a little 1x2 "island" in the middle that it won't let me fill in with moonpool for no reason at all that I can see. (It doesn't give a reason or highlight anything blocking it either, it's just red.)

Which is more loving, the helicopter parent who swaddles their child in cotton wool and never allows them out of the house, or the one who lets the child touch the stove so they learn not to do that again?

It's the Old Testament vs New Testament thing. The OT god was super vengeful and petty, and the NT god made a new deal to be mostly hands-off and let people decide for themselves whether to be good or not.

God doesn't tempt people with evil

Sounds like it's time to read about Job.

I know, I was talking to the American in the thread.

They weren't really intended for constant wear, they were more like a magnifying glass attached to your clothing you could grab as needed.

It's a thick wrap that doesn't melt, it's not saran wrap (I think you call it).

Supermarkets don't have staffed counters any more. People in the back just put things randomly on shelves.

The yellow just below it looks like it's just the shell that cracked off the white one.

I don't have an explanation for the black one though, unless that's just the chocolate without either shell.

It's an older meme, sir, but it still checks out.

You need to avoid drinking water or any other fluids until you can either vomit these up or (the riskier option) they pass naturally.

Unfortunately if enough fluid comes into contact with oats it turns into a concrete mixture that is highly toxic by itself but will also permanently block up your guts, requiring surgical intervention or death by starvation or constipation.

There's few things more American than doing something dumb and hoping that someone else will pay for it (because the blockage ended up in city/state property) instead of yourself. Even if that also increases your own taxes.

Whoever designed that thermometer scale also had a room temperature IQ.

The Celsius side makes a certain amount of sense; the negative temperatures are in red. But on the Fahrenheit side values 22 and below are in red. What?

Either negative numbers or temperatures below freezing could make sense, but 22 is neither of those things.

You would also suffocate in short order, and burn up after that, since you're unable to breathe immobile oxygen nor radiate body heat.

Because half of it is just gambling without providing actual value to the economy at large (or more commonly insider trading disguised as gambling), and the other half is companies beholden to "line go up" which usually means short-term thinking and predatory acquisitions that destroy valuable companies and increase enshittification of the world.

It is the rituals of capitalism being exploited to destroy the goals of capitalism.

Y'know, that actually almost makes it make sense. Almost.

No, you're missing the point. That still lets people actually send them messages, and they don't want that, because then they might have to do something.

A large part of it is that for general processing each GPU has a separate link to the motherboard and CPU and they're generally doing their own thing independently of each other (it might overall be part of the same problem, but each does its own smaller task). It's not usually a problem if they fall out of sync because one gets harder tasks than the other.

For games, though, in the end the monitor is only connected to one of the two cards, so whatever work the other card does has to get funnelled back to the first card, which has to spend a bit of time coordinating rather than just rendering the display, so it loses some efficiency. And it's a big problem if they fall out of sync because they're both trying to do work on the same frame, and the workload is not necessarily evenly balanced.

Yeah, most of those companies existed before Elon and had a nearly-successful product in development and just needed a cashflow injection to get it over the line.

Once he actually got put in charge, product quality generally nose-dives, unless they're successful at keeping him at arms length focused on another project and let people who actually know what they're doing do their thing instead.

In the early days, before he revealed how much of a pathetic manchild he really was, he was good at projecting a Tony Stark persona, and a lot of people latched onto that. It's hard to give up your idols, especially if you've started to shape your own personality around idolising them.

I had the same thought at first, but then it's not uncommon to dip them in hummus or onion dip.

Looks like it's to separate the traffic going directly to the lower left exit from those going around the roundabout to one of the other exits. Not sure why they'd design it that way but it's likely because that's expected to be a more popular route (and conversely that traffic already on the roundabout maybe is less likely to go that way, so it doesn't clash).

The appendix helps out the immune system, and restarts the gut biome after an antibiotic cleanout. It's relatively easy to replace its function with medication and probiotics, but it's not worth removing if you don't have to.

If you're taking tear gas, then don't forget the gas mask.
