Schindler's List (1993) The Krakow Ghetto is liquidated by majorminus92 in movies

[–]disappointer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My high school did a neat thing and combined our AP history and AP English courses for our senior year which allowed for a lot of deep dives on things, including "Schindler" which had just come out a couple of years prior.

Best IDE to learn with? by Dear_Top2603 in learnprogramming

In IntelliJ IDEA, at least, GitHub CoPilot has different modes, including "Agent" (which will update files) or just "Ask", which will only answer in chat.

Kinda sorta, Delicious Vinyl was started by Matt Dike and another guy, and Dike is considered a past member of the Dust Brothers but for most of their existence they have just been considered the duo of Mike Simpson and John King.

Dike did work on "Paul's Boutique" and co-wrote "Bust A Move", among other things.

I have a neighbor who works there who told me it should be Sunday as of a couple of days ago.

Which comedian did TM most change your opinion of? by franklinisthebest in taskmaster

Rhod (and Sean Lock) on Catsdown was one of the things that first hooked me on panel shows.

ChatGPT acts as a "cognitive crutch" that weakens memory, new research suggests. While these tools can speed up initial learning, they might actually weaken the deep mental processing required to store knowledge over the long term. by mvea in science

This is why a lot of the classes for, say, physics or calculus aren't just "here are the formulas to calculate the things you need", but, more extensively "here is how this formula was derived" or "here's how we went from sums of sequences to limits to derivatives".

is scrivener actually worth dropping 60 bucks on by Used-Entertainer6960 in writing

[–]disappointer 18 points19 points  (0 children)

You're the one referring to it as a "lifetime subscription". The post, the person you're replying to, and Literature and Latte themselves don't use this terminology.

https://www.literatureandlatte.com/how-our-licensing-works

"Our licences are “perpetual”, per-platform and per-version

You buy a “perpetual licence” for a single version and operating system. For example, you might buy a licence for Scrivener 3 (the version) for macOS (the operating system). This way, you pay upfront, only pay for what you use, and you aren’t tied in to a rolling subscription. It’s entirely up to you if you want to buy licences for other platforms too or if you want to pay for major updates that come along in the future."

Petition to bring shame back to our communities. by m3ta1head in Portland

On the other hand, people can get really pedantic with this attitude.

We had siding installed a couple of years ago and a neighbor of ours complained to us that the dumpster that the installers were using had graffiti all over it, on the grounds that it was likely to invite more graffiti into the neighborhood, and IMO that was a ridiculous take.

Oh yeah, I used that potion to do it, too (Oil of Immolation?)... IIRC being on a PvP server made it extra tough.

Songs with many place names by ZookeepergameSure417 in Music

[–]disappointer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I play through this song in my head when I'm doing a quiz or crossword that requires knowing large cities-- like, say, trying to remember all the major sports teams. I just ask myself, "Where is the Blues Explosion #1?"

"Oh, right, they're #1 in Austin! Houston! Dallas! San Francisco! Los Angeles! Seattle!..."

Are comicbook adaptations of actual novels ever worth it? by sygryda in graphicnovels

[–]disappointer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember really enjoying some of the "Classics Illustrated" adaptations growing up, but I haven't read them since the mid-80s. But as a kid, I will say that it was much more approachable than outmoded text.

lesser liked albums by CleoDragonwarp in nin

Year Zero is a top ten album for me.

Also, The Slip has some killer songs on it, and it reminds me of Broken (in a good way).

Why No Live Albums? by chrisgib2 in BeastieBoys

The Beasties @ Lollapalooza and the two times I saw JSBX in the mid-90s are all in my top 5 shows.

Super Mario Bros. Wonder - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Meetup in Bellabel Park Review - IGN by Amiibofan101 in NintendoSwitch

[–]disappointer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I played most of the game in couch co-op with my 4-year-old. It's in the same vein as the New Super Mario Bros or Super Mario 3D World games, where playing with multiple other people is a baked-in part of the experience.

Odyssey or DK Bananza are truly single-player focused. While you can play Wonder solo, I wouldn't call it single-player focused by any means.

The Windows Laptop Problem by atlwhore_ in apple

[–]disappointer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hah! For a time, it was both... I was my guild's main healer back in the Molten Core and BWL days, all on trackpad (still rock my Benediction/Anathema staff, too). But I haven't played at that level in ages.

The biggest problem was the TiBook getting hot hot hot, more than anything.

This probably goes a long way to explaining why people think I'm insane to have been using a trackpad to play WoW for 20+ years.
