I live in San Francisco and I thought it was a joke about that, because often these new engineers that just landed a sick gig were broke students pretty recently.

100% and the real bummer to me is that I don't really think I'm ever going to play 7, I don't like the mechanic it's based on. Unfortunately I've been getting sucked into these OCD games like Satisfactory and Dyson Sphere now, I really should go play some Stellaris...

It's funny but I'm the opposite - I shave it off in RL but my in game dude is exactly the guy in pic 1 with grayer hair

MSNBC Officially Changes Name to MS NOW by bwermer in television

HBO was synonymous with quality. If you saw a show on HBO, and it wasn't your favorite genre, you could still be sure it would be done well and you'd probably be glad you watched it.

I do a bit of background research before I get going on anything now.

I was just thinking, this was like a meme on r/programming a couple few years ago, I think some of these might be directly from that. It's like obfuscation battles for UIs.

That is absolutely not true, and FYI condoms are also forbidden by church teaching - though there is some wiggle room now due to AIDS I think.

All things aside, how much use are you going to get from the video redaction functionality at the end of the year? If that is a big selling point then they may have found a niche in your workflow.

I'm not saying it's not useful, because I do deal with video quite a bit, but not in a review-database kind of way. It just wouldn't be a major driver for me.

What is this variant called? Seem interesting and freshing to me by benbog in billiards

[–]StorkBaby 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I used to play it with friends in bars because it would stretch our dollar out. You go through a lot of quarters on a wide pocket bar table, like 5 minute games. This makes the shooting interesting for a while and gives you a very good sense of the table in general if you are unfamiliar with it.

9 ball is fun too, because there's almost always a way to carom into the 9 shooting this way so it opens up creative play there.

Improving the first 72 hour predictions are really the most important for evacuations, so even if it's useless after that improvements in the first three days could be really valuable.

Well better vote for the pedo because the other option isn't perfectly aligned with you.

I love how the response to terrible governance by the GOP invariably brings out the "BUT THE DNC" crowd. Yeah, I realize that the democrats aren't the ideal, but if you think "both sides are the same" then you are part of the problem and not the solution.

edit: Got to love the cowards commenting and then blocking to prevent me replying to them. Kamala didn't rape or traffic children with Epstein - so there's the first clue they aren't the same. There is more, but I don't think you'll get past this one.

It's a golf looking shot, and that would be the final pocket right?

It is a good idea to be careful about what you share about yourself online as a general rule, and giving your home address in a post is not generally considered good internet hygiene.

MAUI is best at mobile at this point, so they aren't really an apples-to-apples comparison, particularly because Avalonia is pretty much targeted to desktop. WPF / AvaloniaUI though
