So then would the artist who created that ending not be entitled to the recognition they deserve for their part in it? If not this author, then another? Would the same story, but from another person change anything?

Oh, certainly. I've sorta tried to tune into the generational "style" of parenting I've seen and it swings like a pendulum. Overprotected parenting, absent parent, etc. My parents had different parenting styles from each

I think one thing that is being lost is the idea of discomfort, or contrast. Think about how good it feels to go for a cool swim on a hot day. Or perhaps a warm shower after time in the brisk cold air? The satisfaction comes as a result of

I'm almost willing to go out on a limb and say that bimmer is a wrap job. I actually like the look of it, but that style is very typical for wrapped cars. EDIT: And if i'm not mistaken, I've found the source for the image a

>Who has a good answer for that at this point? There likely isn't a satisfactory answer for everyone but I consider our job (as a whole) to move the human civilization forward. Every person can help take the one small step they can

Regarding the "ownership" of servers: I really can't blame them entirely. Perhaps you could blame companies for not using a hybrid model where players can host privately plus maintaining their public servers. Why? Because i

250+ comments already so I fear my rant will disappear to the void, but I experienced this exact same thing with Apex Legends. I was fortunate to get my account back eventually, but the experience is the same. I don't really care that

Ignoring the moping millionaire part he's got some truth to what he's saying. I'm confronting this now as a new parent while thinking about how I want to raise my son vs. how I was raised by my father. OPs point to all the di

Agreed. In Canada there was a bunch of halabaloo for a couple years regarding the use of Huawei infrastructure within our Telecoms. For the longest time government was teasing the notion that they will be banning the use of their hardware b

The final two paragraphs once again remind me of the Programming Sucks [1] Blog entry I've reread several times. It's almost mood dependent whether I look upon on the systems we've created or in fondness or in anxious peril.

>especially nurses typically do so despite the working conditions. This mentality is what's being exploited. And nurses are getting fed up. They want to help people. But so much of the decision making is taking that away from them

As someone who has maintained his weight for roughly 15 years... calorie counting works fine. You're looking for an external source to blame for your internal shortcomings.

Are you an active Twitter user? Have you been for a long while? I'm not. I never have had an active account. I get linked to a Tweet and I'm not sure whether I'm at the beginning or the end. Is the embedded tweet a quote of s

You're right, they are the same, but they sound different, and kinda invoke different feelings when heard without a conscious effort to think about the meaning. This is entirely subjective, but to me saying "Banned" is ters

I went through an entire ban appeal process with Electronic Arts over my Apex Legends account and was treated similarly. According to one EA Forum Moderator, there are actual people reviewing appeals, but the fact that they upheld my ban

You can't really form any judgement without knowing more context. 450hrs over a year+? A couple months? Did the game interrupt important events or cause OP to neglect certain responsibilities?

Maybe I'm debating semantics, but I enjoy going to bars alone. I wouldn't go to a club alone though. Maybe it's more accurate to say I enjoy going to the pub alone. It depends on what each type of bar means to you I suppose

Feels very much like one of those "how do you reason a person out of a belief that they hold without reason?" type things. There's generally no objective reason for someone to have the aversion besides their own self-created

Both good reasons but I'd argue #2 is not considered by the engineering in practical reality. Have you seen the lengths some manufacturers require people to go through for things like a simple battery replacement? headlight bulb change

Inserters can be used to place or remove research from the research facilities. For me that meant setting up the research facilities in rows, then having inserters pull some types from the top side downward, and other types from the botto

>What unnecessary engineering? Foremost is the knurling on the shaft. It's additional machining for an essentially useless addition. All the hullabaloo about torque strength for the relevant use cases also seems overdone. My experie

So what advantages does the $69.99 LTT driver have over the $48.99, $54.99, or $59.99 ratcheting drivers sold by Magapro themeslves? I think that's more to what OP is getting at. Going to a store knowing the LTT driver is a rebranded M

This is pretty common in my experience? Market some relatively common item to an out-group of individuals at stupid markup based off brand recognition alone and reap the rewards. LTT looks to be flexing his brand here on unsuspecting PC ent

I think your last point is more close to it. If it broke and I replaced it with a broken appliance then the manufacturer/distributor is to blame. If it broke, and I broke it worse (made it unrepairable) then it's my fault. Sure, I

Good one! I ranted on reddit about this topic a while ago but the gist of it is that the stakes of online harm are just so much higher now than they were 10 or 20 years ago. I feel like I learned about safety online in the hard way: faili

Safe? Probably anything supporting an industry that isn't affected as heavily by the downturn. There's no shortage of work in Industrial Controls. Most work isn't glamorous cutting edge tech, but there's sectors to work

I am a Software Engineer. I'm licensed by our provincial body and have my P.Eng. and yeah, I still agree with you. I've been asked why I got my P.Eng as it does nothing for me career wise, but I always have the hope that we move

Yeah, I like the suggestion, I'll preface in saying I'm not in a "Decision Maker" position at my company though so ideas are only so good. Ultimately it's a management issue. Internally among the techs/engineer
