apart from not having a car

I think they were implying that if that was not something that was negotiable then you could move onto reducing red meat intake.

Seriously, isn't reading documents/cases a bare minimum for their exorbitant fees?

Factorio is a game where I'll spend so much time and getting pretty far. Then I'll "refactor" some parts for efficiency. Then I get like a new science and I'll be like, I can't make this work and give up.

Then I'll start again later thinking I'll get it right the next time!

Although, if I had my robo flying stuff set up correctly then this wouldn't be an issue.

Canadians are way too used to getting shafted.

I currently pay monthly but if I had to get a PAYG plan, I'd go with something like Saily: https://saily.com/esim-canada/

Or one of those other eSim companies. However, I'm not sure if it's just data or if it'll give you a number. Typically with PAYG I'm happy with just data, but I know it doesn't work for everyone. The cost is pretty wild though, I'm in London UK right now and I got a 200GB PAYG SIM for the same price as the 20GB SIM on Saily.


Freedom's Prepaid looks alright-ish?

That's because you need to do things like stay hydrated, eat a healthy diet and keep your cell division count as low as possible.

I'm going to use slightly more words than you but she's a modern day conservative: Her special circumstances are "okay" however other peoples are not. She should be protected, others should not.

Moved in with my brother to help raise his twin boys. Him and his wife are not capable of caring for two kids on their own. I moved out after they grew up a bit and could take care of themselves more. I always thought my brother would make a good dad. Not sure too many can in this day and age.

I mean, he's said before that shitty code doesn't make for a good or bad game. He gave examples of lots of successful games that have "bad" code and that it doesn't matter and people should just make games.

One of our coworkers keeps telling us to trust AI.

We're like, we get to to generate some code but we always check it. The coworker was like, nah you should just trust it. We're like, why? He said you should just train it until it gets to the state where you want.

We were like, we're competent in our fields and we wouldn't want to use anything in production that's not checked by a human. Even if it wasn't checked by a human we should have some checks for sure. Not sure why he's so adamant about not checking anything.

Is the flashy new ROG ALLY the real deal? Will the Xbox Anywhere plan work? My time shipping the Xbox and 360 was a wild ride, but nothing like the current c...

 

Hi all,

I'm traveling for a few months so I picked up a used gaming laptop from one of those trading sites. It's an ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 2024.

I initially went with Windows because I wanted to game. I was gonna miss my terminal for dev and a bunch of other things but I thought compatibility and not dealing with hassle was more important for now. The thing is, for some reason, the laptop would be running really hot all the time ... even when idling.

I got fed up and I put Pop OS! loaded steam with the compatibility stuff and ran a few games really well. My only issue so far was that the laptop keyboard didn't work during installation but after an update it was fine. The laptop obviously gets hot when running games but when idling it runs really cool.

This is now making me feel like I can convert my gaming desktop over as well!

I was considering Bazzite too? Anyone know if it's worth it?

 

Sorted Food guys taste potentially pretentious ingredients and judge them. Just a bit of fun.

 

On BBC Question Time, 27 March 2025

Gary, a working class kid became a successful trader is now pointing out wealth inequality and trying to get people to save us from the super rich.

 

Clips of Sam Seder with MAGA supporters. Not sure I agree with the headline but it is the same as the video.

 

Just let your wealth compound over time and you'll be a millionaire, the advice goes. If this is true why aren't more people rich?UNDERSTAND, SHARE & PUSH BACK

 

I don't know if this video has any solid evidence or earth shattering message in there.

I personally found it nice and I like the overall message despite the background of the world we're living in being sad.
