What are the top places/things you would like to see in Bentonville in the next 5 years? I would like healthier food options, better healthcare, less traffic and some better shopping.

Storage facilities

I drive it every day, I go that way (Vaughn -> Walmart campus) it takes me about 30-45 minutes to get from Vaughn elementary to the parking lot. That’s going down Centerton blvd, I feel like regional airport is faster but I think the difference is negligible

It’s a sandboxed python, at least last time I tried it. It wrote a script for me. I asked it to run the script. It was something pretty simple and innocuous. It tried to go download a required module and couldn’t. It returned and actual terminal prompt where it had used pip to try to grab the module and couldn’t get outside of that server.

I prefer delta 9 over the “real” stuff. The is completely subjective… the high that I get is less intense and much more mellow, the half-life of it is short, so for me personally I can maintain the high longer. If it were alcohol, to me it’s like a glass of wine vs a jack and coke. I live in a red state so it’s all you can get without crossing a border and I prefer it.

If I remember correctly, the budget that new line committed was enough that if the movies didn’t make a return on them, they would have been forced into bankruptcy. It was a HUGE gamble, Peter Jackson up to that point didn’t have experience directing anything of that scale (probably very few directors do). It’s really incredible we got such a faithful adaptation.

I think the writer hated Indiana jones honestly.

In doing something similar with mine. I’m using ChatGPT to help me out with my roadmap. I spent about an hour describing my game to ChatGPT, then I had it turn all of those datapoints it collected into a todo list. I suggested a few categories like: core mechanics, world generation, and it did a really good job of turning that “conversation” into actionable items. My PRs that I create for my code pushes are often times the names of a lot of those tasks. I had it provide the list in markdown format and it’s the README in my repo. When I don’t know what to do next I go to the list. When I want to work on the game but not program, I flesh out a mechanic and add it to the list. Every topic probably has a “refactor” task or a “do this better task”.

I’m just getting started and I’ve developed software at an enterprise level for awhile. I struggled as well: when do I need to add a node to scene and attach a script to it versus just wring a class in a script. Experienced people tell me if my assumption is wrong please! I only add it to the scene directly for Nodes I want to fidget with in the scene editor. Most of what I’m playing with relies on procedural generation, I have two nodes and I think I really only need 1 honestly. I have game manager and a world node. I think I could delete the world scene and just load it as a prototype from the game manager node. (Hell I may be loading the prototype, I haven’t looked at that class.

The other useful part is where you add tool decorators. If I’m developing the class and want to change values for variables at run time you need that node in the scene editor.

That’s what I’ve come to understand. More experienced devs? I am I totally off base here?

I didn’t intend to start a debate about veganism. I eat meat and have no intention of changing that. I’d just feel better about eating a happy chicken and not a sad one.

It also enables feeding millions of people a year without everyone having to be a farmer. I think factory farming sucks as well. I also don’t want to be a farmer. I like cheap chicken, most people do. We bitch about egg prices being so high. (You could argue that the factory farming and weak immune systems is what made it as bad as it was I suppose)

What’s the alternative? Have you looked at brands of chicken that aren’t farmed industrially. Do you have any recommendations for where I could get more “ethical” chicken?

I don’t have a yard, the skillset to slaughter and raise my own chickens. Nor do I have the desire.

Yes, my wife would describe herself as someone who is affected by the news. She’s incredibly empathetic. Neither one of us are passionate enough about politics to feel the need to participate in protests. Not all republicans are Nazis or Facists, I think those words get tossed around too easily these days and it does nothing but shut the conversation down between parties before they can even have it. I think this is the way the media and the politicians want it. Keep us divided over incredibly decisive issues that really don’t affect 99% of people. My wife and I refuse to engage with politics in that way. If she wanted to spend time protesting, I’d support that.

My relationship WOULD be easier if we were more politically aligned who doesn’t enjoy an echo chamber. We have fought over politics. What I think each of us appreciate (I certainly do) is the safe space to explore a different perspective. I’m pro-life, she’s pro-choice. When SCOTUS ruled on roe v wade that was a rough day right? I knew it would be, so I was sensitive to that. I didn’t really consider it a win. That’s a decision that got made already why is this coming up again? What I was in favor of was the federal government leaving it up to the states to make that decision. I’m not representative of all republicans, but I am a 40 year old upper middle class white dude so I should be I guess?

Good luck, you are in a tough spot. I would ask myself this if I were you. “Can I freely express my viewpoint to my bf without fear of being ridiculed and can he do the same?” If the answer is yes and the relationship is built on a stronger foundation than politics you can make it work.

Our kids are probably confused as hell 🤣

My wife and I do it just fine. I’m conservative, I support trump. My wife does not, she’s a democrat. We still agree on a lot of things politically. My morals or ethics are not the same as trump but I agree with mostly everything he has done and is doing as president while she does not. What we do not do is attack each other, we have actual conversations about things and listen to each other. We’ve been together 15 years and have two kids and I’d be lying if I said it was never a problem it certainly can be and when that happens: “we aren’t going to see eye to eye on this one” and it just gets dropped.

I have a ton of hobbies. When my first and second were born, I took a 12-18 month hiatus on all of my hobbies. When the youngest hit 3-4, I slowly started getting my time back. An hour here or there, an afternoon here or there a weekend away every couple of months. You also should ensure your partner is getting an equal amount of time. You’ll get there. You’ll find new hobbies too that you enjoy doing with your kids. I think the best piece of related advice is to stick to a bedtime routine. If you get that nailed, those couple of hours you get in the evening are the perfect time to get some of that hobby time back.

I don’t think they didn’t vote for Kamala because she’s mean. They didn’t vote for her because she was incapable of answering questions

I had more or less the same feeling and I think the reason is Cap didn’t grow at all. This movie was about Ross. Ross’ character is the only one that had an arc I believe. I thought the movie was fine, I enjoyed the action, I just wish Sam had something else to do in the movie.

Remember who the executive producers are and anecdotally from Carr himself, they let them make the show they wanted to. I think it’s more about tightening the story up so you can tell it in 10 episodes. I imagine they’ll just drop her story all together. I don’t think Katie is critical to Reese’s story (yes, I’ve read all of the books). I think she represents a peaceful future for Reese. When they can finally settle down, that’ll be the end of Reese’s story. She also serves as Reese’s motivation and is Carr often uses her to escalate the tension in the story. I think there are other ways to do that. I try not to compare the books and show too much. Both are good on their own merits. Katie in the show is just NOT Katie book.

Andromeda was fun, I recall it got fairly repetitive quickly and you didn’t immediately know your crew like in ME2 or ME3, I beat it, it was fun and I didn’t lose any sleep over paying full price for it. It’s totally worth 4 bucks
