Insurance is incredibly useful, absolutely. And should definitely exist. I also think that a lot of people pay for insurance that doesn't make a whole lot of sense though. If you could afford to replace the thing you're insuri

I found it pretty easy - the right answers seemed mostly obvious[0]. Wash hands, use the clean apron, use the sharp knife, don't touch corpses before surgery, don't try to do the surgery as fast as possible. The one I wasn't

I think this is an overly cynical take. Long form tv show/movie length content is never going to be replaced by algorithm driven short form content, if it was then it would already be happening. This is the same as the game market. Peo

Is it really surprising that TV is turning to garbage? There's no great conspiracy to dumb it down, it's just a question of demographics. TV used to be the primary source of home entertainment for every age group, now it's

"I was too ignorant to run a giant investment company/pseudo-bank correctly" shouldn't get you off though. He needs to face the same charges regardless of whether he was malicious or stupid.

No, Zucks Metaverse just sucks. "The world isn't ready for my brilliant ideas" is the rallying cry of people with ideas but no execution ability.

Yeah - I would imagine with some hash functions it doesn't make much difference whether you have access to message0, or just the hash of message0. Whereas with other hash functions it might make a lot of difference. It's never goi

The main problem with Sonic Forces was that the levels were way too short and linear compared to other Sonic games (and other platformers in general, the game really was a disappointment, which partly explains the extremely positive recep

Rimworld is fantastic, but I never manage to play it for more than a few hours without getting a strong urge to stop and play Dwarf Fortress instead.

The secret is that a lot of cheap wine is pretty darn good. I imagine there's somewhat of a correlation between price and quality, especially at the absolute bottom end of the pricing scale. But it's a very loose correlation.

I had periods of time where I played nothing but a single game, though those were never more than a few months. Definitely seems like it would be good for your son to broaden his gaming horizons somewhat. Re: "Juicing" - I saw the

Eh, I don't think arguing that really good animation/sound/art design being a bad thing somehow is a line of reasoning that results in sensible outcomes. Be wary of predatory monetization techniques yes, but a bunch of people

This is inane bullshit. It's a video game. Kids have always fucking loved video games. I and most of my friends used to spend most of our free time playing video games when I was in highschool because they're fun. We now all have

Because weed (ideally not smoked) is no more harmful than alcohol and prohibition is counter-productive.

The Overwatch lootboxes were purely cosmetic too. The Call of Duty ones weren't. The new CoD battle pass isn't entirely cosmetic either, but the worst it does is give you faster access to weapons that you could have unlocked throu

Definitely. Alongside the push for legalization we should also be pushing for more edibles and vaporization and less combustion. Inhaling burnt anything is terrible for you. I believe there's been studies showing that people with firep

The gaming industry seems to have been moving away from loot boxes recently. Overwatch and Call of Duty have both stopped using them (replaced with a battle pass subscription with fixed rewards). TBH I think it's kind of a shame becaus

The only reason you need to do that in the first place is that IRC servers don't save chat history/dms when you're offline. You'd gain no benefit from doing that with Discord.

The i5-12400 is actually a really fast CPU. Basically any desktop CPU released since AMD scared Intel into actually trying again is pretty fast, even the supposed low-mid range ones.
