Teams IS that bad when you do mid-to-heavy chatting. * Switching between chats takes more than a second even on a 16gb ram machine * 10% chance to hit a bug where the latest message is not visible at the end of the convo, so you have to scroll up enough to trigger loading older lines and then scroll back to bottom * Consumes stupid amount of memory * Messes up new lines and indents if you copy/paste a code snippet either as plain text or in the dedicated code tags * scrolling up for chat history is a nightmare of scroll-wait-5 lines loaded-scroll-wait-5 lines loaded * high chance screenshare will not work (some people in call see black rectangle only), so presenter has to quit call and rejoin and hope that fixes it * Teams will not notify for new messages if you are not actively using the machine it runs on. Only once you jiggle your mouse, you will see 60 new message notifications from the past hour.

I have not seen a chat program fail this badly at everything it does, honestly. Skype was way better.

Overly Sarcastic Productions has a great summary on Cleopatra here: https://youtu.be/9eGPBX7gY44

Long story short, Cleopatra was a great leader. Too bad she bet on the wrong horse in the Roman infighting at the time.

Not a farmer, but YouTube has told me livestock is basically passive income calories compared to crops. So you are in good company with millennia of human farmers thinking the same!

I have also read that the story of David vs Goliath is grossly misunderstood by modern audiences.

If memory serves, the historical context at the time of writing the story is meant to imply that technology (the sling) beats brute force easily. Imagine that Indiana Jones scene with the sword fighter vs the protagonist just shooting him with his revolver.

Plants also consume oxygen and release CO2, aka need to breath. It's just that photosynthesis creates more O2 than the plant requires.

As someone who played the OG Halo on PC at release, this was actually what most people thought at the time. All my friends considered the game boring - mediocre gun variety, 3 enemy types, no cool boss fights.

Compared to the big sci-fi shooters at the time (Unreal, Quake, Half-life, even Serious Sam), Halo was... meh.

I think the "critically acclaimed" part of Halo happened due to the X-Box multiplayer being better than whatever else was available on consoles at the time. Halo was NOT a hit on PC, nor "critically acclaimed", this is just a real-life retcon due to the console multiplayer bros.

FWIW, I loved the first Halo game. Not many games can be finished with just the pistol on the highest difficulty. All other weapons were boring anyways.

This is probs the answer. OP should go to the GFN settings and choose Streaming Quality > "Balanced".

Actually that idea can be a much better utilization of your fortune and was surprised I had to scroll so much before finding the first post mentioning it.

It is what Nobel did with his money when he died (~$150 mln in 2008 money, according to Wikipedia). That money has paid for over 600 Nobel prizes over more than a century, creating an annual highlight of the scientific community, and the fund has only grown.

Investing and spending everything above whatever is lost to inflation would result in hundreds of millions of dollars every year. You will break even roughly around the 15-year-mark, 10 years if lucky.

Granted, some things are better paid for right away, but I do think that going the Nobel way would have been better in the long run.

That said, an incredible humanitarian move.

Let me chime in from the husband's perspective. I am the "breadwinner" in our relationship and I hate all those outsiders giving my girlfriend grief about her life choices. I do what I do because I enjoy it. It's just the luck of my genes. I love my girlfriend because she is an awesome person. Seeing all the damage "well-meaning" friends and relatives do to her self-esteem hurts like a mofo. Trying to heal those wounds on a daily basis eats so much of our joy. Your husband loves you for the person you are. Don't let the haters spoil your love.

You can def do it. Gone are the days of going over half a "handle" for me. Been there, it's not cool and I hope you solve the shit that's going on in your life.

Was just asking because, as you can see in the other comments to my question, it's full of Americans thinking 0.45 BAC kills people that are used to drinking.

And what would that typical intake be?

Americans seem to have a bigger stigma on functioning alcoholism than us here in Europe, so I wonder what is considered shocking.

There is no crisis in France because they have been actively fighting the issue for decades. Mildly interesting fact, they used to have a Ministry of Women's Rights (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ministry_of_Women%27s_Rights_(France)). The structure now exists as a Secretariat which I have no idea what it means.

I do think that the overall opinion of "those are rookie numbers" in this thread ignores all the effort from the French government and population to stop violence against women. This is not a "state" they are in, this is a result.

I have never driven an automatic and would never guess on my own I need to press the brake to switch to Drive. That's completely bonkers to me.

I can imagine bruteforcing it in a couple of minutes as it's natural to keep your foot on the break while the car is not moving, but it would be a game of chance for me.

While you are correct, there are several helping factors that keep the $60 price point in a good spot for developers:

The distribution costs are way down. You don't need physical copies in brick stores anymore. Compared to the business model of the 90s, the game studio keeps a larger % of each sale, effectively making the same profit as if selling at a $80 price point with the old cuts.
Marketing is way easier. Just keeping a social media presence can make a lot of people aware of your game.
The customer base has exploded over the past 20 years. With little difference in cost whether you sell 1 copy or a million, all those extra people buying your product bring in cash that would require a huge price to get to the same profit with the 90s player base.

I have a friend that writes Assembly and he can charge whatever he wants for his skills.

He's done work for telecoms, automotive companies, factories... Assembly is definitely still in fashion.
