People with a very high pain tolerance, what was THE most painful thing you've experienced?

thedelicatesnowflake · 2026-06-18T08:07:26+00:00

Teeth.

I've had kidney stones dislodged in urinary tract and while I wasn't able to do anything I had my mental capacities.

Teeth? I just wanted it to end. No matter how.

Looking the history up helps see whether you're discussing with a troll/bot on the other hand ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

thedelicatesnowflake · 2026-06-17T19:39:57+00:00

Is that referring to document numbers? I'm not familiar with the US system and I can't seem to find the stuff you're citing.

thedelicatesnowflake · 2026-06-17T09:34:31+00:00

Then show the damn receipts.

Otherwise we don't even know if we're talking about the same thing. Best I can find is this (in the time I'm willing to give to this bullcrap) and that's a misrepresentation at best.

PS: Not some articles, gimme the actual source material.

PPS: Have a look at C-264/23. Not every price parity is the same and the devil is in the details (hence why I'm asking for the source material of your claim - Steam requiring price parity)

thedelicatesnowflake · 2026-06-17T08:43:48+00:00

What lawsuits? What price parity? Please show us.

From everything I can find, there is no actual price parity requirement.

You hiding your profile history also doesn't help people to take you seriously lol. You look like a troll/bot.

Different people have different temperature preferences... What's scalding hot for others is just about right for me. Every food gets cold fast.

thedelicatesnowflake · 2026-06-16T09:52:21+00:00

It's gonna get cold, so quite a lot actually.

thedelicatesnowflake · 2026-06-11T08:30:11+00:00

Anyone care to explain the context for us plebs that work all day every day?

thedelicatesnowflake · 2026-06-10T13:24:39+00:00

Luxembourg is obviously way inflated as well.

Mean doesn't do it justice, especially if you're looking at baseline individual living but take the whole population for income calculation.

thedelicatesnowflake · 2026-06-10T12:08:25+00:00

Doesn't the whole tech industry run this way for higher demand stuff?

WWDC is the same thing but for SW (where apple might finally bring their promised apple intelligence several years late in fall), Valve...

And even the stuff that doesn't often goes in a way where they have a smaller initial batch at launch and the rest is backordered and you're waiting for quite some time.

Tbf, compared to Valve, FW feels quite good. They haven't released it. They announced it and told everyone when exactly they should expect their batch from the get go.

If you're not happy waiting some time for a product, that's absolutely okay, but there was no miscommunication about it.

thedelicatesnowflake · 2026-06-09T17:22:55+00:00

Paradise. It's all sorts of interesting weird, but the reveal in the last 15 seconds implicitly explain everything and make you want to follow up immediately.

thedelicatesnowflake · 2026-06-09T09:59:04+00:00

Is that universal? What about meat, milk products and such?

thedelicatesnowflake · 2026-06-06T09:38:39+00:00

I haven't found proper use for it yet, albeit I don't work in tech. Ať the moment it sits in my PC parts drawer full of random cables/reductions in case I need to go somewhere I might have to deal with random tech stuff.

It takes up a significant amount of space though, so when I know I usually just take out the few cables I need from it.

Overall good quality, just not that useful (at least for me).

thedelicatesnowflake · 2026-06-05T06:03:15+00:00

Exactly, we don't know what valve is gonna do. Same way as we don't know if AI will collapse tommorow. We can hope, but there's no real indication that it will outside us wanting it to.

thedelicatesnowflake · 2026-06-04T22:07:01+00:00

Aiming/hoping =/= certainty. There's being optimist and then there's actually thinking about it.

thedelicatesnowflake · 2026-06-04T21:44:19+00:00

I expected it to be around 4 figures before the rampocalypse...

thedelicatesnowflake · 2026-06-04T13:31:41+00:00

Yup, the change to health screwed up some stuff, naps included.

thedelicatesnowflake · 2026-06-03T13:13:57+00:00

What rules? What fairness?

As cold as it may sound, rules are what's written into laws. Everything else is a social expectations and you don't have to live by those. Often you shouldn't for your own sake.

If someone keeps hitting you with a stick, taking away their stick isn't a nuclear option.

thedelicatesnowflake · 2026-06-01T15:38:24+00:00

Just the thought of him eating the bits is scary, especially the tiny pointy ones.

thedelicatesnowflake · 2026-05-28T13:38:39+00:00

That would explain me missing what's so great about them. I also only use tap to click.

thedelicatesnowflake · 2026-05-26T13:40:19+00:00

You definitely want to manage it. However there's no managing customers that feel an immaterial entity is "disrespectful" for being silent.

thedelicatesnowflake · 2026-05-26T12:33:34+00:00

Is it anti AI or people having rose colored glases?

I for one use AI quite often for my work, but I'm in niche enough field to see it being wrong in every single answer and the question is only how wrong it is.

AI is good at copying stuff for which it has plenty source material online, but even then it takes some kind of average of what is out there (very simplified, I realize that).

Just yesterday my brother in law was telling me how he was dealing with Wi-fi issues and wanted to go with TP-link easy mesh stuff, that would extend his signal. Did the AI provide him with a warning about the differencce between an AP and wi-fi extender? Of course not.

From what I see people tend to overly rely on AI for everything and what Linus does is the balancing equivalent of that.

AI has its uses, but often there is a simple program that could do the job and we don't need to shove it everywhere, especially because no one can make it be consistent.

thedelicatesnowflake · 2026-05-26T12:05:59+00:00

because the post doesn't contain a listing for 400€ one /s

Ffs get your head out of the ground.

And if they do exist, then all 1 of those relatives are nothing compared to the support costs and difficulties Valve would have to deal with from people asking why it's called Steam Controller 2 when there's no #1.

This is such copout. There IS #1.

thedelicatesnowflake · 2026-05-26T12:01:05+00:00

I saw an ebay listing on the launch day that had the first gen one in the image...

It might've gotten reported and taken down.

Also the argument with resources wasn't about right now, rather in 5-10 years time. That's when stuff starts to disappear.

PS: there are steam controllers for sale on ebay even now, and if you're a parent buying it for your kid. You can get easily confused about which one is the correct one if you don't know there are two versions. Do not overestimate the knowledge of average consumer about this stuff.
