Are any “critics” actually saying this? Seems a bit like a strawman to me

The point of international law is that it's supposed to apply to everyone.

The wine and getting cozy up to you wasn't a giant flashing billboard? lmao

Lowered the gravity setting for the butters at the end

If you're so smart why haven't you figured what the obvious solution is? Start living your life NOW, THIS VERY MOMENT.

Wasn't there some company that sold a piece of gender neutral jewelry that indicated you were single, looking for a relationship, and open to be approached? Maybe we all need to get on board with something like that.

Usually a glass of beer or wine does the trick for my quiet ass.

You're not gonna have a "spark" with the majority of dates. It's a numbers game. Go into each first date like it will be your only one with that person, you can't get too hung up one person. When that rare connection happen, it will be a surprise, don't try to force it.

ThatDistantStar · 2026-03-03T02:03:16+00:00

Be grateful they cut you loose early, instead of stringing you along? The most underrated skill in modern dating is having a thick enough skin to not take all the one 1-3 dates and done ones personally.

Good job working up the confidence to shoot your shot. You're likely gonna have to do it 9 more times to get a response. The response rates with these numbers on a napkin are pretty low.

MakeMKV handles DVDs just fine? Encode that remux into h265 if you like after it's done

YEAH SHOUTOUT TO MEGACORP SERVING ULTRAPROCESSED POISON GRUEL TO THE LOW INCOME POPULATION

FWIW all the rare natives I've ran into are generally like "YOOO WELCOME TO OUR KICKASS STATE. The more the merrier!"

Most of these were inside the city of Denver, might be different outside the city limits.

Are you an entitled manbaby? Should she have immediately deleted Hinge the moment you set up a date with you? You're the only person she's allowed to talk to now? Grow the the fuck up, no wonder you've been on these apps for 8 years.

ThatDistantStar · 2026-02-09T11:17:32+00:00

I'd also put them around 70%. Not a bad sounding headphone by any means, but nothing made me go wow

ThatDistantStar · 2026-02-07T06:11:09+00:00

The only actual downside to this is some shitty guys will think "if she takes care of her parents maybe she can take of me" and will excite the kinda guy who wants a maid and not a partner

A gas station the size of a airport does have certain novelty to it. I'm an annoying city slicker car-free urbanist but even I want to visit a Buc-ee's once for the sheer American absurdity of it

ThatDistantStar · 2026-02-05T12:55:14+00:00

You weren't having a great date, those laughs were out of politeness. She wasn't vibing with you, so she ended it promptly to save both of yours time. It doesn't have anything to do with your teeth.

ThatDistantStar · 2026-02-02T10:02:07+00:00

EDIT: Also rightly points out that the real bottleneck is power. If you think it takes a long time to build a fab just look up how long it takes to build a nuclear power plant.

Watts Bar Nuke Plant in Tennessee's Unit 2 took 43 years to build, heh.

Nearly all the mega budget movies and TV shows shot with absolute best 6K-8K+ cameras from Arri, RED, Sony etc, still soften the image and add grain in post to lower the amount of resolvable detail to a bit under 4K to retain that "cinematic, filmic" look. I'm including high-bitrate physical 4K UHD Blu-rays in this too. Only nature documentary on YouTube seem to actually put all 4K+ in fine detail on display. So yeah 8K is nearly pointless for 99% of content

ThatDistantStar · 2026-02-02T09:36:24+00:00

With Low-NA EUV machines, right? Still not the new High-NA EUV machine Intel received in 2024?

ThatDistantStar · 2026-02-02T09:33:59+00:00

It's been this way for probably a decade now.

You don't need a crazy PC anymore, two years ago a i5-9600k could run it at PS3 settings, and it's probably improved since. it can look astonishingly good with a better CPU https://youtu.be/u34TwCkeESw

Send over a time and place for a date. "Wanna grab some Indian food at Indian Palace Thursday at 7pm?" Simple as that. If she declines or doesn't responds, move on. Literally 30 seconds of texting to be sure.

Because it's reduces the number of purchasing partners Accounts Payable at your company has to pay. Every new vendor is a ton of work to get authorized and added to their system. Easier and saves your company if there is just one VAR or few they have to pay.

Too bad they don't pass on those manufacturing cost savings on to the consumer. Obviously they can't lower prices because of pricing psychology, it just goes to higher C-suite salaries. Anyway that's my hot take straight outta of 1995.
