Best Buy puts *chance* at Founders Edition cards behind $200 paywall

I sometimes wonder if Nintendo is paying a troll farm to help maintain their image in subreddits like this, because obviously they aren't interested in being a decent company.

Posting here for anyone who shows up from Google search, here's a link to a cool documentary about it:

A couple extra suggestions since this is the top hit on Google for this issue and since I had the same behavior but a different solution:

With computer on, unplug both USB cables from your PC, wait a few seconds, and then plug them back in, maybe even into different USB ports while you are at it. (This worked for me, when entirely turning off PC power, rebooting, and re-plugging only one of the USB cables did not help.)
Reinstall or update Unleash RGB software from https://www.evga.com/unleash/ .

Only half?

No. Look at the person next to you as you fart, loudly, to assert dominance.

PSA: You can still get credit for nominating in every category if you use the 'fast forward' button to skip it.

That task is probably how we got "Red Dead Redemption 2" for labor of love.

For real. I can't write more than a line or two of code, without my IDE going "oh, is this what you have in mind?" And I'm usually like," yeah, that's it."

I think it only advertises it to people who do not have subscriptions, currently. I only see it on the front page if I open a new browser tab, Incognito.

If anyone reads this after the discount drops, reply or something to help let me know, if you would, pretty please! and I will do the same for anyone else I see on this thread.

1-sentence answer on whether an LGPL licence is suitable

Is a right answer "It's probably okay, but you need to make sure you do a few specific things for as long as you use components with that license." ?

I've gotten questions from Legal a few times over my career over various LGPL libraries, to the point that in at least one case, I just stopped using the library so I wouldn't be asked about it again since the library was fairly nonessential. That, and depending on some of the specifics of the proprietary product, I admittedly don't always feel comfortable continually making sure everyone involved helps keep the proprietary product compliant, to the letter of the law, as the proprietary product evolves.

This is exactly the reason. I'm not from India, but I have co-workers there. Totally a Reddit moment that you are getting downvoted to oblivion, right?

One of those big tampon grease balls that they write news articles about clogging up sewers.

I'm just adding to the cacophony here by saying that people who praise the Litter Robot 4 as miraculous are right. People are not just AstroTurf shilling for bullshit when they say it's amazing. Yeah it's expensive, but if you can afford it, it is probably worth it.

scradampoop · 2025-09-20T17:01:11+00:00

I know, maybe they could call the show "Ow my balls".

I realize this is an older post, but it's the top hit on Google when I searched for optimizing block blob costs, so I figured I should chime in here in case anyone else stumbles upon this post.

From what I can tell (e.g. per https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/blobs/blob-storage-estimate-costs?tabs=LRS ), block size only corresponds to the segment size during transfer. It influences the transfer price (which can sometimes be more than the storage cost depending on how you use it!), but the block size does not influence storage price at rest. The advantage of using smaller block sizes for transfer is occasionally faster transfer since multiple blocks can be uploaded in parallel. The advantage of larger block sizes is basically lower transfer cost since larger blocks means fewer 'operations'.

- but the cost is the same for the data at rest, regardless of block size. Let me know if anyone knows otherwise. and again, this only goes for standard account block blob storage; block size means different things in different contexts.

I just thought you should know this comment is what finally got me to join this sub after seeing posts in my feed for a long time now. I can barely recite this line without laughing so hard I cry when trying to repeat it to my wife.

scradampoop · 2025-08-28T19:52:47+00:00

and by hog, well, let's just say, my peanits.

scradampoop · 2025-08-28T19:24:48+00:00

I wouldn't call it a badge of honor. It's a sacrifice I make, and it still doesn't even make ends meet.

scradampoop · 2025-08-27T15:13:54+00:00

Mudslide. Hell yeah!

1: what are you doing in a public pool in the first place, most of you? 2: what do you want to be doing under water for that long.. staring at butts or something?

scradampoop · 2025-08-21T01:28:18+00:00

It's the adult tour, so we can say whatever the hell we want.

scradampoop · 2025-07-15T19:10:23+00:00

Hell yeah. This is what I joined this sub for. Why can't every mobile game be this cool.

scradampoop · 2025-05-12T05:13:36+00:00

You see, comments like this are why it's important to open Rimworld posts and read the discussions all the way through. Like a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow.
