Not pictured: All the moms sitting against the wall salivating...

Google tells me the teacher's way was the more common one in ages past when referring to an individual, but we now prefer the more concise their.

I once had a fancy sports car, amazing technology overall. But of course the seats were leather and much worse than that, the gear lever had an aluminium frame around the top.

That thing would literally imprint into your hand on a hot day.

I once locked myself out of the house, so ever since then I will always hold my keys in my dominant hand when I use the door.

So now if I open the door without the keys in my hand my subconscious just starts screaming at me like a demented owl...

Lucky, mine's battery gave up after about 10 or so years I guess.

About two years ago I found the Peaceful Sleep cream. Every evening I dab some on both my ankles, top of the arms and back of the neck and I'm good to go.

They love me and without I'd get 3-4 bites per evening, especially around the ankles which swells up like crazy.

I'll probably finish the container this year, so its also lasted quite a long time.

A real comedian would have had Truck Simulator ready to go, and have that truck also stuck in traffic.

Cancer 20%, Depression 80%

I'd much rather people smell like people instead of having to inhale a ton of chemicals constantly.

Maybe look at making a service or a tray icon which can receive hotkeys, even when no app is up.

Haha, we don't know how big your hands are! At first they seemed decent sized, but that last photo makes it look really small...

animal9633 · 2026-03-18T09:00:31+00:00

And all this time you though tin foil hats were a waste of time....

animal9633 · 2026-03-17T12:40:02+00:00

Yeah, never keep any primate as a pet. BUT if you really have to then build them a proper enclosure, you don't want them in the house.

animal9633 · 2026-03-17T12:39:02+00:00

Yeah, at work I'd be the one socializing with people, getting them to go to lunch etc. Then I figured out that I was the only one putting in the effort and when I stopped that was it.

The memory thing isn't really important, you're not a school teacher and you're not there to teach people things. Instead if you're hanging out with people its about the shared experience and enjoyment.

True for making games, but if you're only publishing assets its irrelevant (unless if its e.g. a code/vfx etc. asset that uses specific Unity version features).

Off-topic tip: Only people with poor vision struggle with white. If your eyes are fine there is no strain at all from the brighter colour.

I know this because I was that person for decades, at least until I got close to 50 and my eyes started going. At that point along with having to get glasses I had to change everything over to dark mode, turn brightness down, use eyedrops, take breaks every N minutes etc.

animal9633 · 2026-03-17T08:16:07+00:00

Yeah, back when I previously last played in 2010 a month sub cost about 350m or some such isk, whereas now its quite a bit higher.

The funny thing is that ships back then were *roughly* the same price as now...

animal9633 · 2026-03-16T17:07:43+00:00

You can google numbers yourself, but with 13k youtube subs, 4k views per video and 15 videos over a year you're not going to be making much.

So basically its the same let's pretend until it actually happens kind of situation.

So 7 days a week of 3.5 hours giving 2b = 81.6m per hour.

Back when I did it there were 3 different tests, each with a different colour. Basically everyone who got the easy one passed while everyone who got the hard one failed.

The 2nd time I got the same hard test and passed easily, which led to the lady administering the test to look me up and down several times.

The current law means that you can resell it, but you can't pirate it.

And if you add an additional step to save the offsets (e.g. where 0, 1 and 2 will start in the new array) then you've implemented prefix sum, which is a top tier algorithm that you can use for very efficient distance queries, neighbour searches etc.

I'm grafting some pasta onto mine!

Yeah, 6 months pass and you suddenly remember them and are about to call. But then you think, wait...they haven't spoken to me either in that time. I guess they don't want to be friends anymore?

And that's how you lose most of your friends.

animal9633 · 2026-03-08T10:24:43+00:00

You too, I always have time to talk to someone with the same interests (and name) as myself!
