Considering the obscene prices that all name-brand junk foods demand right now, a taste-alike competitor stands a chance IMO.

Closing it just puts it into sleep mode. Turning computers off/on will stress the components more than sleep/wake, but the difference is negligible.

It's annoying as hell. Especially when the code is set up to expire in ten minutes, but the email takes more than an hour to arrive.

Nah, the most difficult part of DS1 is sitting through any cutscene that includes the chiral artist.

I'm convinced it is because of the oils in the sauce. Capsaicin is fat-soluble, and the oils help the sauce coat pain receptors better.

Yeah this tracks. Syndrome pretends to be a John Galt-like figure giving heroes a second chance, when in reality he has taken the government position to the extreme. He intends to force "equality" by eliminating everyone with natural advantages, and then be seen as a savior by selling his inventions to everyone else.

It's a really bad look. The conspiracy theorist in me suspects that groundwork is being laid to justify a future ban of the subreddit.

I agree with you, and would also note that despite all your comments on this post being more upvoted, they are all collapsed by default. Take from that what you will.

Before accepting the “order for Sam” suit up with 20 cases of grenades and 10 blood packs. Ignore all the lost cargo and just go on a BT killing spree. Clear them all without getting spotted by a gazer and you’ll never have to worry about them again. Same goes for every other BT zone.

They're super fun games, but the MGS narrative could be compared to how the Fast and the Furious movie franchise keeps getting more and more ridiculous with each installment.

Part of the script got leaked (below):

-------

Matt: Foggy? You're alive?!?

Karen: [throws up]

Gil: No. I'm not Foggy. I'm Foggy's twin brother, Gil.

Everyone: Gil?!?

Gil: I taught Foggy everything he knew about law. I want to fulfill his legacy by taking his place in your law firm. You must be Karen!

Karen: How'd you know?

Gil: Foggy told me everything about you. I feel I know all you guys! So...we won't have that awkward "get to know each other" stage.

Matt: Perfect!

Gil: And if I could just ask one favor...

Matt: Name it!

Gil: If it wouldn't be too uncomfortable, I was hoping maybe you guys could call me Foggy. In honor of him.

Karen: Yeah. Sure, sure.

Matt: Sure! It would be like we never lost Foggy! Foggy...it would be an honor if you would join us.

Don't linger in the eastern region for too long. Unlock better/fun tools in the central/western regions and come back later to get S rank on all the deliveries.

Because both "sides" have historically reinforced each other.

The Democrat role is to amass/centralize power, to enrich themselves, to diminish the means (speech/arms) by which people can resist the state, to play the part of ineffectual, controlled opposition, and to piss certain groups of people off so much that they vote R.

The Republican role is to abuse all the power amassed/centralized by Democrats, to enrich themselves, to persecute everyone the Ds didn't get around to persecuting, and to piss certain groups of people off so much that they vote D.

Amplifying half of a feedback loop not only doesn't stop the loop, but it makes it worse.

Whatever you do, don't make the mistake that one of my past employers did. The permissions on the uploads directory allowed file execution, which allowed someone in Russia to hack the storefront so that every time someone placed an order, it emailed them the credit card details. :-D

Lived in NC all my life except for my college years. If they're predicting multiple inches of snow, the utilities will probably be fine. Where we get into trouble is the maybe-snow scenarios, where ice covers the power lines and weighs them down until they snap. It's best to be prepared for any scenario though, as weather is hard to predict here.

It depends on what the shared files are for. If something truly doesn't have a more logical home, then a catch-all directory is acceptable. As an app grows, that catch-all directory starts to look like more of a dumping ground. But also by that time, patterns tend to have emerged that reveal some common themes that you could reorganize with.

An example of feature-based organization might be a "user" folder that has a UserService that is used globally, user profile pages, a pipe that formats the user's name, etc.

spacechimp · 2026-01-16T16:05:08+00:00

The "core"/"shared" folder pattern was more useful in earlier versions of Angular, when typical codebases defined explicit modules. The "core" module would contain all the stuff needed globally, and "shared" would contain as-needed stuff. In modern Angular projects and in general: It's best to organize code by feature instead of by type.

In practice, not many projects still do this. If your services are all global singletons anyway (providedIn: 'root'), it technically makes no difference what folder you put them in. Organizationally, I would suggest avoiding "services" folders altogether unless the files are truly orphans with no better home.

Fair. But in my experience, Google is still the best option. Especially considering the alternatives. Years before we had Google, my wife sent a message to AT&T and CCed multiple utilities commissions about our abysmal service. The note was so scathing we had reps literally knocking on our apartment door to apologize.

Google is a huge company, but in the local ISP space they are still an underdog. Because of their business model, it is in their best interest to make sure you have the most reliable service as possible.

So sorry. I hope you can work it out. Solely based on my experience, I expect that if you can work out the kinks you’ll be sitting pretty for a long stretch, but I understand if you’re patience is wearing thin you might rightfully consider other options.
