I used to arrive promptly at 7am, and clock out at 3:30pm.

The bus to the office was always empty.

The bus home was always packed.

Now I work from home

As a habitual lurker, this is amazing. I can keep abreast if my local town subreddit without loading their horrendous mobile site. Bravo.

Considering the needs of others and suggesting behaviours that benefit the larger whole is often scoffed at in the United States. See: History.

YMMV, I treat it on demand, but in most cases it’s unused.

Civ: End turn

Driving games: Shift paddle

It’s like the 4th mouse button. Sometimes you don’t realize how much you might enjoy having it mapped.

Sounds like socialism

Why would the forced sale of a product have an impact on the value? Have you never been to an auction?

It’s highly popular and has a built in user-base. If anything, the fact that it’s being forced to “sell” should make the existing social media companies froth at the mouth.

In the mid-early days of reddit, upvote/downvotes were noticed as a method to hide the algorithm that was used to promote to the front page.

If you can see the exact counts, you can game the system. So the system threw fake up/downvotes into the mix to make it harder to reverse engineer. This could be something similar.

Television shows are 22-24 minutes, because cable TV should show 6-8 minutes of ads every half hour. 30 second ads in blocks of 3 or 4, multiple times per show.

15 seonds ads are almost too short for a trip to the kitchen. I’m not saying they’re good, but if you want to compare to cable TV, you need to remember the dark times.

Do not look away from screen while ad is playing, or playback will be paused for 5 minutes for first offense.

PORTAL

A 200+ year old document which was designed and written deliberately to ensure that no one amassed too much power, and is now complicating individuals amassing too much power.

Civ VI and Inscryption required me to use the pads. Basically everything else is sticks.

4 years and $1m fine.

Billions in fraud. Guy is set for life and will absolutely be out of “jail” in a year.

The judge: “Let this be a lesson”

Everyone: fucking what?

The term you’ll get more mileage out of here is Luddite.

The looms are stealing our jobs, so we should organize against them.

Not only can the number be negative, it can also be written in red ink.

I’m fine with Firefox getting paid for the 2nd step of the install being changing the default search to DDG.

2 weeks later and I came back to read your beautiful post. Hearing about people’s early experiences with the game are my favourite.

I once managed to catch the probe. I was so far from home, and couldn’t save them.

A few hours? Something about your post tells me that you didn’t play past 22 minutes.

Call it a hunch.

I am absolutely some of that NMS time. I just run it at default, and I get about an hour. Which is great, because after that I really should take a break.
