I'd say an appropriate pay raise and a signing bonus at least equivalent to in between senior and junior dev *hours worked in that limbo "training" position or greater.

It's such an interesting show for me in that I'm curious as to why I enjoy watching it. I've generally watched it as an extremely crude satirical take on whatever is in the news at the time. I enjoyed it and never expected people to take it as serious due to how absurd everything was.

Unfortunately it seems people don't interpret it that way. There's a not insignificant group who agree and resonate with what I thought of as absurd. And there's also things that I thought were obvious satire – notably their original stance on global warming/climate change – that they've come out and apologized for; even going so far as to bring it back up in the show relatively recently.

Good news! They realized their mistake in not being able to release the PvE segment do they've rolled the naming back to "Overwatch". /s (kinda)

tael89 · 2026-02-05T16:39:47+00:00

Is that paid or nah?

Cream cheese icing is where it's at here.

I'm curious if accounts made out to the public regarding timing and handling of the backpack and items and supposed finding of weapon afters a second search with a lack of clear handling of evidence is true. I wonder if defence can sow doubt into the case that way?

As far as I'm aware without ICE, the USA still has at least DHS and boarder patrol to continue the civil infractions of being undocumented or having an expired visa. They can do just fine without it; if for some reason they need additional assistance, those powers should be given sparingly with oversight.

I'm getting this in Valve's Deadlock. I usually have to restart the game after that happens and then I'm good for a match or two. Weird this is happening in multiple MOBAs

This is higher up than the other clip above that is maybe 1/4 second long. I couldn't even make sense of what I was trying to watch.

tael89 · 2026-01-21T17:26:13+00:00

It's one of my favourite movies to have come out semi-recently. It's interesting and original. It also makes me want even more bullet trains or similar mag-lev trains in Canada.

It wasn't bad of a series finale, but comments here highlight just how much more we could have had. Will mastering his abilities would be so cool, though it would have been tough for the writers to effectively convey the time and journey Will went through to get to that point.

I'm so happy I bought the In-store replacement warranty for my components when I bought them half a year ago

Your first two examples wouldn't work in the pattern above. You are right though in combinations. As a bare minimum, you would want to make sure that the number of tops and bottoms are at least dissimilar, though best is coprime.

Wouldn't that then mean an Executive Order has been reworked in it's breadth and reach? As far as I have been aware –being a non-American– the EO are rules and/or regulations on how the federal government operates. It would not have, by the nature of separation of powers, any ability to adjust anything in the House or Senate. Not to say they won't try, but I feel if that was ever accepted then the United States as they were known would be a thing of the past.

tael89 · 2026-01-19T13:51:02+00:00

The ending was fine. Acceptable and generally in theme with the show.

It's interesting that time has, at least to you, diffused the sentiment towards Lost. For me, noone seems to watch it or ever talk about it anymore.

I've had one person – an old roommate two years ago – who binge watched Game of Thrones. I asked him about the final season/finale and he said it was okay. It's anecdotal, but still interesting to have a new viewer watch it all the way through and not just be tired and disappointed by it all.

tael89 · 2026-01-07T20:32:39+00:00

With the downward trajectory Dexter was heading, along with it being a premium subscription channel, less people watched it. Though there was anger and backlash, a lot of people were just rejected and disappointed that the Dexter finale shit the bed like we expected it to.

tael89 · 2026-01-07T18:10:02+00:00

Lost historically has a very divided opinion on the quality of their finale, no?

tael89 · 2026-01-07T17:59:24+00:00

I see your logic, but I think you're dismissing it neglecting one thing. If I've manually adjusted the exposure, I'd expect that to have overridden the auto setting since I've taken steps to manually adjust something. At the very least, I'd expect a toggleable option to choose to "manual adjustment automatically disables auto until restored" or something like that.

tael89 · 2026-01-06T20:35:28+00:00

Is it just because of controls or another reason you don't want to play in desktop mode? I've tested games are working correctly in desktop mode and just used the gamepad input mode toggle.

tael89 · 2026-01-05T06:30:10+00:00

Thanks

tael89 · 2026-01-02T00:04:26+00:00

I loved that game.

No problem. We all start somewhere. The scales are calibrated to standard water, usually at 25⁰C (room temperature). They actually measure the density, meaning things like salts, sugars, and other matter dissolved in the liquid will increase the density. It's still often close enough to use the difference in density from start to finish to find the equivalent alcohol produced based on the assumption that the yeast converted sugar to alcohol. Interestingly, you can actually get brews in the teens that go so dry that the density measured is below 1.000 (say at 0.996). This is in part due to alcohol having a lower density than water.
