I'm imagining waking up in the middle of the night to someone riding the whole thing away with me still in it

Seriously. What the fuck. Institutionalized child abuse. And then they say trans people are somehow the real danger.

It is a dirty joke, one that implies everyone takes turns in the test chamber, aka the barrel.

Black Mesa was an insane confluence of theoretical and practical physics. I mean they're inventing fucking interdimensional travel and handheld laser weapons. Also there's a security guard that jokes to Gordon "looks like you're in the barrel today" which implies everyone on the team takes turns in the suit. That was just Gordon's day; he probably does spend most days in an office somewhere doing math

Most dogs actually enjoy training. It's another game! One where they get treats for doing the right thing! My dog actually gets antsy if I don't have him do any trick routines for a few days.

Edit to say you do you and if your dog and you are happy that's all that really matters

That might be because they actually aren't binding in many cases. Courts have held that if the contract can't be reasonably expected to be read or understood by the people it "binds," it's not really enforceable, and 99% of EULAs are ridiculously long and legalese-heavy. But that doesn't change the fact companies can and will treat them as such until challenged in court, and they'll almost always be allowed to refuse service to pretty much whoever they want.

So you'd be right here; grandma's post about not giving Facebook the right to her data is meaningless. Don't want Facebook to have your data? Don't use Facebook!

About as often as they actually release anything

Yeah I left my last instance and signed up here specifically because of Hexbear. Fuck that.

I wouldn't get too excited. Supposedly the next headset is internally called Deckard, and it's been "about to release" for like 3 years now? Pretty much everything people think they know about it is conjecture based off code Valve has tucked away in SteamVR; zero public statements of intent.

As for VR on Linux... kinda? I've only read terrible things about it online. I have an Index and tried to use it with Mint a few months back, and while it mostly worked without any configuration issues, there was a weird white ring around the edge of the screen that I couldn't figure out.

I'm no expert. But probably there just isn't enough evidence yet to accuse China as a whole of systematically doping its athletes. I'd imagine they err on the side of "allowing participation" with this kind of stuff.

I'm pretty sure Russia only got banned because they had a state-sponsored doping system. Long as you don't get caught with that, you can be as authoritarian as you want.

They literally already tried and failed with the phoneification of windows when everyone shat on 8. I guess some ahole UI designer still works there and is bitter that people didn't like their ideas.
