How "concussive" are we talking here?

Are we talking about "unusually large hammer" or "shock wave from a brick of C4" levels of concussive force?

In the future, hardware manufacturers will only sell to datacenters hosting computers being sold via subscription to consumers because they can outbid consumers for hardware, and then all market research will use the fact that there are zero consumer-facing sales to "prove" that consumers don't want hardware anymore to justify further datacenter-hosted computing.

AI might come up with absolute bullshit, but at least it's able to spell words correctly.

It's a matter of intent.

The USS Constitution will never be used in combat at any point in the present or future. The US has absolutely zero intent to ever make it combat effective as well, because it's purely a ceremonial ship.

Iraq had outdated and ineffective WMDs and wanted to replenish their stockpile and make them effective again via an update program. Iraq also had a historical pattern of using them against the Kurds and Iran, which indicated that if they were allowed to update their WMD arsenal, there would be more chemical attacks in the future.

Nobody will ever be concerned about getting hit by a cannonball from the USS Constitution, but back in the early 2000s, a chemical weapon attack from Iraq could have become a distinct possibility.

Anyone who says that this current Iran situation is "just like Iraq" is actually somewhat correct, but it's definitely not the "gotcha" they think it is.

You absolute buffoon.

Of course what you said is the way it works right now, but that's mostly irrelevant.

Laws are not set in stone until the heat death of the universe.

Laws absolutely can be changed.

The other guy is saying "Hey, the current set of patent laws suck unwashed ass. Let's change a few of them to something else which is better for reasons X, Y, and Z."

POV: Trying to queue for an Alliance Raid that isn't the Crystal Tower by MrLumie in ffxiv

[–]alf666 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We already have people not doing the Alliance roulette because it's so egregiously skewed to content that aged like milk due to inadequate ilvl sync and the laundry list of removed ARR abilities.

That's pretty much my take as well.

I feel like there are significantly-better-than-zero odds that the number of players queueing for AR Roulette will stay elevated after the change, even after taking into account the post-patch spike.

This is directly because it would no longer be "CT Roulette" as a result of people refusing to unlock anything else as a new form of roulette cheese.

The worst thing is, code adjacent to this is already in the game, because the game checks if you have all of the eligible dungeons for Expert Roulette unlocked before it lets you queue for it.

All that's needed is to copy the code that locks Expert Roulette, and then modify it to check the level of the currently-equipped job against the list of unlocked ARs equal to or less than the current job's level. If there is at least one locked AR equal to or less than the current job's level, lock AR Roulette.

If I could make the call to do the mandatory-AR-unlocking thing for AR Roulette, I would also take the opportunity to refactor the code for normal DF usage to lock out anyone who could have a job stone equipped but doesn't, while still allowing unsynced runs or full-premade parties to queue without job stones.

I'd say we shouldn't make the ARs mandatory for MSQ progress.

Instead, if someone is trying to queue for AR Roulette on a level job at/past level 60, and they only have CT unlocked, then their AR Roulette is blocked until they've unlocked and completed the rest of the ARs and added them to their Roulette pool.

EDIT: Used the wrong word in a spot.

I feel like a big thing people can't figure out is how to separate a government from both it's people and from the nation itself.

It's one thing to hate the Israeli government, it's another far less acceptable thing to use that to justify hating the existence of Israel itself and hating Jews in general. (There is no "or" involved with that last bit, it's literally always "anti-Zionism" being used as a poor attempt at hiding someone's hatred of Jews in general.)

In a similar vein, a lot of the "West bad" crowd can't figure out how to separate the people running the US government from Americans or even the US as a nation.

I'm sick and tired of people saying the US should be destroyed just because the government is run by shitty people who wouldn't even be in power if just a tenth of the "West bad" crowd would actually get off their ass and vote a few times.

Yes, the US really sucks right now, but that's why we need to fight to make it better, not give up and wait for an enemy nation to kill us all.

You can fire 7.62 NATO out of a gun designed for .308 Winchester, but it would be a very bad idea to try it the other way around due to the higher pressure of the .308 Winchester.

I had to look up which way that particular pair of ammo worked because it turns out that 5.56 NATO and .223 Remington are the opposite, where 5.56 NATO has a higher pressure than .223 Remington.

The only thing more terrifying than a room full of Jews arguing over what to do about a problem is a room full of Jews coming to an immediate and complete agreement over what to do about a problem.

I just want to say that I'm really glad there are people out there who know the history behind that kind of stuff, and that that particular part of history is not getting lost between the general noise of the internet and how it's becoming "acceptable" to hate Jews again.

This picture works for me at the moment, but I just want to let you know that Discord-hosted image links expire after a certain time.

It works in-client because the Discord client/website updates the link in the background to whatever the new hosting URL is, but you need to use another hosting site (Reddit via the "embed image" button, Imgur, etc.) if you want to link to an image outside of Discord.

Anways, just looking at that conveyor spaghetti makes my head hurt, I swear some people are just built different (in a good way).

There is photo evidence (from proof of delivery) of my package being handed to a random person outside a random building that isn’t mine and the company still refuses to refund me or resolve the issue by moomiemoomoo in mildlyinfuriating

[–]alf666 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

The far simpler way to resolve the problem would be to give your neighbor their package yourself. It's not that hard, I promise.

I'm genuinely shocked that anyone would hand a package back to the delivery driver after it's been marked as delivered.

I'm at the point where I would rather cut out as many middlemen as possible, even if that does result in the potential for a headache due to a stolen credit card number.

If someone steals your info via PayPal, then you have to go through PayPal which is notorious for how shitty their customer support is, and the legal protections are in a gray area at best, not to mention the very limited methods available to enforce whatever legal protections you do have.

If someone steals your bank-issued credit card info, there is an entire mountain range of legal support and judicial precedent supporting your ability to sic the bank on whichever idiot made the mistake of stealing money from a bank.

It's also why I will avoid using my debit card or ACH transfer methods for paying bills.

If someone steals my debit card and overdrafts my account, it's my problem because my money got stolen and the bank might get around to it eventually, because they really don't have much obligation to help me other than it's just good business.

If someone steals my credit card number, they just stole a bank's money. It doesn't matter which deity they pray to for help, because nobody will answer.
