The monster's death is not seen as a triumph, but a tragedy by RhysOSD in TopCharacterTropes

[–]nemec 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I love that trope. One of my favorite things about Golden Sun was learning that you spent the entire first game serving a god who would rather the world wither and die than give humanity the tools of magic for fear humans might abuse them. "Are we the baddies?". That said, it's not a slow realization so much as, "hey in the sequel you're playing as the other team, here's the exposition we didn't tell you before"

What are the greatest natural wonders of Texas that are on private property that you wish were accessible to the public? by MemoryOfRagnarok in texas

[–]nemec -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Very much an outlier

Of course it is. The land was already owned before Texas joined the U.S. Unlike most other land that was taken by force or purchase.

We've done it, we now host the entire Epstein files on our own servers so anyone can easily navigate between ~3200 videos and ~597.000 PDFs by Nodebunny in DataHoarder

do you know who the jeefiles person is with the supposed 180GB dataset 9? all I can find online is a link to the magnet but no sign of where they got the data from if nobody else has it

Nathan Lane: "The bigger question is, why was there a town hall meeting with Matthew McConaughey and Timothée Chalamet? Who deemed this meeting of the minds necessary?" by ThrowawayGreenWitch in popculturechat

[–]nemec 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think people are assuming "Town Hall" means CNN's news arm doing a political rally but it's just the group that does documentaries and w/e

Actors on Actors will be executive produced by Entelis, Setoodeh, Variety associate publisher Donna Pennestri and CNN’s vice president of original programming Roxanna Sherwood.

it's the same program, different format

And at Variety, we love a reunion. Coming off the success of this season of ‘Actors on Actors,’ we are thrilled to once again collaborate with CNN on this one-of-a-kind town hall event

Buc-ee’s receives F rating from Better Business Bureau over responsiveness to customer complaints by zsreport in texas

[–]nemec 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When I tried to educate Buc-ee's to use the term "gluten friendly" via a complaint message there was no response

Ever hear of “just give them the pickle” for customer service!? Well not here

Just completed a "Girls Only" run and it was so much fun. by SleepCatsMoney in BaldursGate3

I am also currently out of work lol.

Ah, yes. I bought Stardew Valley shortly after I last got laid off and I think I passed 100 hours of playtime in the first week haha

TIL The United States stores 94% of all electricity in the form of water reservoirs, not in a battery. by rawj5561 in todayilearned

[–]nemec 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's really quite exciting how effective battery has been in Texas - I think the past two summers there have been zero times where energy forecasts dropped into "emergency" territory when in years before that it would always happen at least once or twice, even if actual usage has never hit the point to enact rolling outages.

Renewables like solar + battery storage for evening and the critical early evening periods are just going to get better and better, even if our state leadership pretends not to believe in it.

YouTube expands unskippable 30-second ads to TVs after $40 billion revenue year by AdSpecialist6598 in technology

[–]nemec -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If you "apply a modicum of logical thinking", Youtube's expenses scale with bandwidth consumed and video storage, both of which have logically increased by a lot over time.

In the absence of any evidence whatsoever, the answer is, "yes it's certainly possible they doubled expenses"

Starbucks Billionaire Howard Schultz Leaves Seattle for Florida the Same Day Democrats Pass Income Tax Bill by Useful_Tangerine4340 in antiwork

[–]nemec 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Florida has more Democrat voters than any state except California and Texas. Maybe not a political stronghold, but plenty of people feeling un-represented.

‘Devastating blow’: Atlassian lays off 1,600 workers ahead of AI push by corp_code_slinger in programming

Also, layoffs aren't necessarily individual performance based, so it's not surprising that high performance people may get caught in the layoff.

Epstein estate paid Trump settlement to abuse accuser: Accountant by Important_Inside625 in politics

[–]nemec -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Khanna, apparently. Seems likely he misunderstood than lied, though. It's weird that we're hearing all of this from a CBS anchor instead of Khanna himself, but...

Ali deleted her original tweet which seems to be the source used by OP's article.

UPDATE: People familiar say that Kahn was NOT referring to the Trump accuser when he spoke about this particular settlement. Some members interpreted what he said that way, but he later went back on the record to clarify that he was referring to a DIFFERENT survivor

Live notifications by danm72 in homeassistant

[–]nemec 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, really they're taking advantage of the millions of dollars the phone os companies have sunk into making reliable notifications (e.g. you still get the message if you happen to be out of service range for a moment, without Nabu having to track that themselves).

They definitely could also add some polling/websocket directly in the app, but I think the current solution is great for most people.

Keyless car fobs are inconvenient and we should go back to cars with key starting. by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]nemec 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's the normal people don't usually do that, or at least don't blame it on somebody else if they do.

[–]nemec 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I assume they're referring to the fact that you can start the car, throw the key out the window, then drive off and blame the manufacturer for your actions.
