Or, you know, wake up at the same literal time, no matter what the clock says. Listen to your circadian rhythms, not some number on the wall. The time shift doesn't magically give people an extra hour. That's all marketing. DST stands for Daylight Stealing Time, as far as I'm concerned.
Disclaimer: I'm a night owl; I could care less for waking up early.
...coolant to warm enough to evaporate the moisture...
Where I come from, we just scrape off enough ice to see where you're going, and crack a window to keep it dry enough the interior doesn't freeze. But, hey, if you know how to leave early enough to get to places on time in a warm cabin, more power to you 😉
...in Chicago ... pre-heating the car is a must 3 months of the year.
I don't believe you've lived anywhere cold for very long. Cold places existed long before remote start. The car warms up while you finish shoveling and brushing off the car. You're warm from shoveling, and the car is ready to go. If it's just cold and you're late to whatever, you sit your shivering ass down behind the wheel and drive away anyways...
Hear hear! Monday/Friday off is overrated. Get rid of hump day!
Ahh yes, Malus Cupertino. How could I forget. Prized for their disease resistance and unixy flavor. Too bad they don't pollenize other varieties.
You earned it.
... Thanks, I guess? Does it come with a cash prize? Or just Internet Points?
Which is extra ironic, because apples are native to Asia.
I hate headlines like these. It feels like they're intentionally ambiguous.
Honestly, I'm a bit skeptical of StopKillingGames. It feels like a good thing, but it also comes off as naive. Like the whole "just distribute the server" requirement is impossible with the way modern games are developed, and may be cost-prohibitive to implement for most developers well into the future. Besides, some games really are less like a painting and more like a musical; performance art necessarily has to end at some point, so it's all about the experience and the memories. Nobody complains when the actors take a bow, because that's the expectation.
Louis Rossman sometimes rubs me the wrong way, but he usually makes really good, nuanced points: https://youtu.be/TF4zH8bJDI8?si=m4QGHfHY1fOtITpw
Keep the debate alive, because we all love playing games.
The challenge is that requires creativity. Creativity isn't a stable investment.
Viva La indie game studio!
Didn't they give out refunds? That seems like the right thing to do when a massively multiplayer game is dead on arrival.
In many ways, I feel similarly. However, "this one weird trick" got me out of it. Think of networking as something you do to find like-minded complex-abstract-problem-solvers. You're just finding friends. If one of those friends has a particularly tough problem and they're willing to pay you, then, congrats! You now have a job offer!
The algorithm is simple: ask people what they do, why they do it, and, crucially, who they know. Then contact each of those people, name-drop their friend, mention interests you might have in common, and ask to meet you talk about fun stuff. Repeat. Follow up with people to let them know you appreciated meeting with them (or not...if you didn't really appreciate meeting with them). If you get the sense that someone is looking for help and you're interested in what they're doing, offer your help. The worst thing that can happen is they say no.
