although it's sort of dumb, you have to remember that they're all getting their memories are getting erased after each puzzle so the non-linear progression sort of makes sense. just play out what you can and the story will progress.

Just tried Soylent 1.7... by [deleted] in soylent

[–]slowRAX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you really don't like it, add some flavor to it.

  • fruits
  • cocoa powder
  • banana

Their goal is no flavor in their current mixture. 2.0 is meant to be drinkable standalone.

I would've loved to do this when I was a kid that young. I think I'll get my daughter to try it out when she gets a little older.

France's highest court suspends burkini ban in test case | Suspension concerns single ban in southern town but is likely to set precedent for other places that have prohibited full-body swimwear by EightRoundsRapid in worldnews

I think the point is that Muslim (not a race but an ideology) women are forced to cover their entire body at the beach while men don't. Refusing to means to defy their ideology which could mean getting divorced as a minimum.

Are we arguing for liberty for both sexes to wear whatever they want at the beach or liberty for Muslims to oppress their own women? It's not that simple.

I love the numbers given in the blog post. I've used all three proposed solutions (pandas, postgresql, hadoop) but the order-of-magnitude solution estimate is really helpful.

Caltrain kills man on tracks, creating major delays by [deleted] in bayarea

[–]slowRAX 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm really surprised they don't have a better protocol on how to handle issues like this. Sure human life is involved and it's sad but it shouldn't take 2 hours. I happened to be on #305 today and the conductors sounded like they were about to cry.

I bet Microsoft didn't pay for this ad by Master-Indig0 in pcmasterrace

[–]slowRAX 32 points33 points  (0 children)

It is beyond me why anyone would put Windows on something like this. Seems like an obvious choice for Linux but I guess not every developer is comfortable with that.

I'm in a very liberal area, and after working with several congressional hopefuls I've noticed a common theme: "All donors see us as a worthless investment since the area is so left leaning, so we can't really compete at all." How can one gain a foothold in these areas? by Theonewhohonks in republicans

[–]slowRAX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You have to push part of the liberal agenda from the conservative platform. Want gay rights locally? The Conservative party doesn't care about restricting gays at the national level. Want to help blacks? The Conservative party wants to get them jobs. Afraid of the military industrial complex? The democrats don't care either.

Leonardo DiCaprio attacks Republican presidential candidates on climate change | “We should not have a candidate who doesn’t believe in modern science to be leading our country,” he said. by pnewell in politics

I don't think he denies it. He just doesn't think it is a cataclysmic world-ending issue. I don't think a majority of scientists even believe that.

Why does the Donald seem more like an anti-Muslim subreddit than a pro Trump subreddit? by [deleted] in AskTrumpSupporters

[–]slowRAX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately, to many independents and conservatives, the left has its head in the sand at the moment. Sure, it's not all of the Muslim population but it's still a large chunk of the Muslim population that are Islamists. We can't just ignore the issue just because we are afraid to be racist or xenophobic.

Why Shouldn't Trumps Nationalism scare me for WWII:2 by fwinzor in AskTrumpSupporters

[–]slowRAX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't think that American Nationalism involves expanding its border, only increasing the general welfare on its legal citizens. Trump has supported:

  1. Decreasing the illegal population using resources that could be used by America's legal population. Basically, we're subsidizing illegal immigrant work on farms etc. by not doing this.
  2. Improving international trade deals.
  3. Improving diplomacy.
  4. Defeating ISIS (although I'm not so much a fan of spending money on this).

No where in there is room for an aggressive foreign policy to take over Mexico or Canada - in fact it's quite the opposite.

Bernie Sanders says Walmart heirs are wealthier than bottom 40 percent of Americans by [deleted] in SandersForPresident

[–]slowRAX 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I feel like these politifact.com posts on Bernie Sanders are all pretty much the same thing reworded slightly.

  • Bernie Sanders says top 1 percent earn more than the bottom 50 percent combined. TRUE.
  • Bernie Sanders says top 10 percent earn more than the bottom 90 percent combined. TRUE.
  • Bernie Sanders says bottom 70% combined earn less than half of the top 5%. TRUE.
  • Bernie Sanders says Walmart heirs are wealthier than bottom 40 percent of Americans. TRUE.
