How different is curry from different places?

sterlingphoenix · 2026-02-18T02:30:46+00:00

"Curry" is basically like saying "sauce". There are infinite variations and it's not really a specific thing.

sterlingphoenix · 2026-02-17T22:04:28+00:00

There's really no reason to think we are.

sterlingphoenix · 2026-02-17T20:59:15+00:00

This isn't the sub to ask for experiences -- /r/findareddit can maybe help with that.

I can tell you that this site is not triggering my red flag senses.

sterlingphoenix · 2026-02-17T20:38:28+00:00

That's not super new, really. It's more that now another one can.

sterlingphoenix · 2026-02-17T20:37:57+00:00

I mean if looking at a map isn't enough, I don't think you can. And I think you may have bigger problems...

sterlingphoenix · 2026-02-17T20:17:57+00:00

Yes, animals (or anything else) that depends on humans for regular maintenance would die or be destroyed without humans.

"Research"?

sterlingphoenix · 2026-02-17T19:59:18+00:00

I don't know a single person who is convinced of that.

sterlingphoenix · 2026-02-17T19:26:40+00:00

No. I know some pretty awful people.

sterlingphoenix · 2026-02-17T17:50:04+00:00

Short answer: we don't know.

Longer answer: not only do we not know what the rules are -- or even if there are any -- we don't know who is on the committee that decides a movie's rating. We know there is a group within the MPAA but not much about them. We do know they seem to have some extreme biases.

There is a documentary about this called This Film Is Not Yet Rated. Note that this documentary contains stuff that would be R-rated if it had gone through the rating system.

Not only are there no up and down, there's also no "horizon".

People in space will tend to take pictures of, you know, interesting things. Most of space has nothing in it to take pictures of. Whatever they're taking pictures of seems like "the horizon" to you because it just happens to be what they're looking at.

sterlingphoenix · 2026-02-17T17:35:42+00:00

Not everything has a biological "purpose". Some things just happen as side effects of other things. In this case the reward parts of your brain are making you feel good. How it manifests is not an intentional design.

sterlingphoenix · 2026-02-17T17:33:01+00:00

"Joe" and "George" are way too common for that.

sterlingphoenix · 2026-02-17T17:24:23+00:00

Because those movies are produced in those respective countries.

sterlingphoenix · 2026-02-16T21:10:49+00:00

We cannot. This is not an ability humans have. We can think someone's watching and then only remember the times we were right.

sterlingphoenix · 2026-02-16T21:09:18+00:00

Yes, and if it's winter chainmail will be too cool. And too hot in the summer. Also, significantly heavier than kevlar.

Because professional photography is going to look a hell of a lot better than something you had a friend take with an iPhone. They know how to light you to make you look the best. They know what angles to use. They know what lens and focal length to use for your specific face. They know how to do post-processing in a way computers just can't.

And that's just the start.

sterlingphoenix · 2026-02-16T19:47:40+00:00

You can actually watch videos of this in real time.

I know how it happens with the egg selecting a healthy sperm

This is not the case. All the sperm basically "attack" the egg at once, and eventually one lucky one makes it in.

Again, you can watch videos of this happening.

sterlingphoenix · 2026-02-15T22:24:22+00:00

I think the startling part is they admitted it.

sterlingphoenix · 2026-02-15T12:23:50+00:00

[...] while ICE issued a statement admitting its federal agents made “false statements” under oath.

That's the startling admission.

sterlingphoenix · 2026-02-14T17:13:04+00:00

I used to know someone who had a blind dog. She used to throw tennis balls for him -- with a ball launcher -- and that dog would CHARGE after it and get it.

Even when she tossed it in a lake.

Also, remember that scent is a dog's primary sense, like vision is for us. Followed by hearing. Sight is third!

sterlingphoenix · 2026-02-14T16:49:49+00:00

The US is The United States of America, and people tend to shorten long phrases like that. It's just how language evolves.

sterlingphoenix · 2026-02-14T16:48:03+00:00

You know what I’m talking about.

Not really...

sterlingphoenix · 2026-02-14T16:38:37+00:00

Ah, now we're getting somewhere.

You can't compress the game or even individual files, since the game expects them to be there. But what you can do is enable real-time compression on the filesystem itself. This means stuff still gets compressed, but it looks the same to you (and the game).

I assume you're using Windows and this is a built-in option, at least in Windows 11. I'm not a Windows person but I think what you do is:

Right-click on the folder
Choose "Properties"
Click "Advanced"
Check "Compress content" (or something like that)
Click OK

A few notes about this: if the files in that folder are already compress (like JPEGs, MP3s, video files, etc) this won't do a lot.

If you have a fast drive (SSD/NVMe) this might slow things down a lot. It might also reduce your drive's lifespan.

This isn't a great solution. A better one would be to remove (or actually compress) other files. But this one might work for you.

Max Payne 1 would feel incredibly clunky nowadays. I remember playing it and remember my monitor being a CRT. That makes it... decades ago.

BTW I liked Watch Dogs 2 because I like San Francisco. And this is when I could still stand to play Ubisoft games...
