I was born in 1993…

So no I don’t remember playing it. But I might check it out though thanks for the recommendation

Whoosh

They just released the patch on game pass.

Give it another shot.

What an interesting read!

Thank you so much. Interesting to hear about Stoker’s widow, and her going to the courts to pursue a copyright claim.

Hey this is a pretty interesting story, got a link?

A doctor is anybody with a doctorate.

Somehow, colloquially, we came to only refer to MD’s ( Doctor of Medicine ) as doctors.

A PhD is just a Doctor of Philosophy. A PhD doesn’t make anyone a doctor more so than an MD or a JD. Yes, even a lawyer is a doctor.

Anybody with a doctorate degree is a doctor. And just for fun, all a doctorate means is the highest degree awarded by a graduate school or other approved educational organization. Feel like I’m getting too technical with this so I’m just going to stop writing this comment.

Yes, 100%.

I really can’t tell if you’re being serious. Just in case…

The prophet Muhammad was a real piece of shit etc etc etc.

See? I’m allowed to do that. Thankfully I live somewhere I don’t have to be in fear of saying things like that.

Yes my wording was terrible. you’re right that it’s the millions of other things constantly polluting that’s the problem.

My point was just that her tour is one of the largest ever. Largest ever also means one of the most polluting ever.

As I replied to other people, yes the wording was poor.

But, it’s so silly to compare her fleet of semi trucks to all the semi trucks in the world. I mean wouldn’t it make a bit more sense to compare her to other touring acts? Was just reading an article yesterday about how hers is one of the largest and most expensive tours ever.

fwiw I used to live in India many years ago.

Was lucky enough to emigrate to the states when I was eight years old. We didn’t have a car back then. My dad had a moped that we used a lot.

But yeah, I didn’t use to be part of the problem. But now I am as well

I already mentioned I was wrong about the air travel. I looked up the numbers and edited my comment immediately.

Yeah the trucks are a drop in the sea as well.

But stop kidding yourself that the 90 semi trucks is nothing. It’s all pollution.

What other tour and/or concert is slipping around 90 semi trucks??

You bring up a good point that there are millions of semi trucks on the road. But that’s ridiculous to compare her 90 semi trucks to all the trucks on the road

Let’s compare her to other touring artists. To be honest I don’t have the numbers off top of my head I’ll have to look him up. But I was reading an article the other day about how her tour is one of the largest productions to date.

So no, her 90 trucks are not a huge part of the problem. That wording was wrong on my part. But among touring artist, she is easily one of the biggest polluters.

Quoting Taylor Swift is… an interesting choice when talking about climate changes.

Didn’t her recent tour require 90+ semi trucks just to go from city to city? Not even going to mention all the emissions that result from whenever they have to travel by plane.

Yes, popular music acts that tour are a HUGE part of the problem.

Also, my bad I’m not tryna harp on you just because I recognized a song lyric. I’m a Taylor Swift fan myself. Well, more of a chiefs fan. And by value of the transitive property…

Edit: also apparently all air travel only accounts for about 2% of emissions. So while my point isnt technically wrong it’s missing the forest for the trees

How is your latency on Chiaki?

I have pretty decent home wifi and honestly…

It’s just not a great experience.

Although tbf I installed it once on a macbook and the experience was not great. Didn’t do hardly any finagling to improve latency

This doesn’t answer any questions.

But…

Spiderman could be black.

Y’all I dislike forced browser adoption as much as the next guy.

And I’ve been using Firefox for years and years and years now.

But, I’m forced to use edge for work. And, as a browser purely, none of the anti-trust baggage attached…

It’s really not too bad. A lot of things work just fine. And sometimes, if I’m having weird performance on a website on a personal device, loading the same URL in edge has resulted in improved/expected functionality of the website

For sure don’t use jquery.

React is industry standard, but not my favorite. That being said, even my personal projects I do in react. I’m happy with my current role, but if I wanna switch down the line there’s less openings for a dev with mostly Svelte (my favorite framework) experience.

Had one of these.

Sadly misplaced it after about 3 years of use.

I didn’t even realize chess had separated mens/womens events. I figured maybe a U18 and an open tournament. Is this par for normal? Or do most grandmasters etc compete at open tournaments?

Yes it has, this meme is not necessarily with the times

Edit: or at least, a tiny bit dated. Although I’ve written and deployed express servers… Haven’t yet encountered any enterprise level back-end architecture written in JavaScript.

Usually in C# or Java.

Honestly, I would start with learning JavaScript.

Anything in the browser runs on JavaScript, and it’s a very forgiving language to learn for beginners.
