In the few recent fighting games I can think of, Tekken 7 and Mortal Kombat 11, even with relatively light use of physics based fabrics I still see a lot of wonky movement/fabric clipping and getting stuck inside bodies. I definitely d

They tried that here in Canada, and it is both too small to have much impact, and getting massive pushback from the Conservative party. You have to keep in mind that even if it’s revenue neutral, explaining the scheme to taxpayers is going

Yes, it’s in the article, but over half the users are not using tor and the site itself is encouraging them not to.

Yes, I can’t help but feel we’ll get the tyranny because countries will just want to start machine gunning people trying to migrate somewhere safe, and not because of any extreme environmental controls.

Also keep in mind that messing up an insulin dose can kill you pretty quickly, so I can see why it would be particularly frightening. Not that it’s worse than certain death.

Wait and see what? What are we waiting to see and what do we do about it? Waiting implies not taking a course of action, but we either pump carbon or try not to, there’s no neutral action.

I suddenly got type 1 diabetes and did indeed find that diet cola started tasting a lot more “normal” pretty quickly, while I had hated it before. Still, if you don’t have the same health issues, I’m not sure if there’s a reason to switch.

Whatever you feel about it, the primary point of the TPP deal was China containment by isolating it from the rest of East Asia.

I can see it going this way as well. My fear is that it will cause too much focus on personalities rather than quality work.

I am not comfortable with either country (and likewise have no business in either). It’s where you say we shouldn’t act against one unless we act against both (or else be labeled virtue signalers) that this becomes whataboutism. It is not a

"Fast enough" is relative, and for most people when it comes to web browsing only the fastest is fast enough. I can't blame them, with all the time spent on the web the seconds add up. Firefox has been quite a bit behind Chro

At that price you could just get a Google Suite email. Of course at a quick glance it just says no advertisements, I'm not sure that they wont be monetizing your data some other way.

Oh I agree, and for the most part I'm using equality to mean equal opportunity, or perhaps equal outcome for equal personal investment. Not so much that everyone should have identical lives. Maybe a better way to put it is I don't

The article resonated with me. I find inequality very upsetting and can be prone to depression. I wouldn't say that the depression is caused by a lack of reciprocity in others. If anything I've found that almost everyone, even oth

I'm in this same predicament. I used to have to do constant backup/restore on family member computers, and Crashplan really made that painless. This transition is going to be a real pain. So far it doesn't look like they'

I've been to two mid-tier universities within the last decade, and each one had a professor who would straight up say on the first day of class that they would fail any women, because women shouldn't be in science. One was a Biolo

I think it's to not have to relocate a folder in a Save As dialog. Sometimes I already have a folder open, and just want to create a new file then drag it into my editor because I know the Save As dialog is pointed elsewhere.

I don't understand how it relates to the article, or even Canada in general. Are they contending that the Canadian government running deficits is causing the population to live on cheap credit? Canada historically runs small deficits.

I first heard about the Echelon/5 eyes network on 60 Minutes some time in the early 90's. I remember controversy about it flagging people for mentioning "bomb" in phone calls, so I would say I did hear about it from the
