The campaign has that one level everyone who's played it knows. One of the most creative levels in a modern game. The multiplayer was so good the first 2-3 years after the game released. Then they started nerfing it a bunch and then so

This is me. I blocked so many that nowadays all I get are fake marijuana ads and sex toy ads. No I don't regularly smoke or otherwise imbibe weed and I definitely don't do stuff that would link me with a need for sex toys lol. And

I've had a two-seat sofa from Living Spaces since.... 2017 and it's held up really well. Even the cushions have no wear despite my dog loving "digging" into them (basically scratching for a while digging an imaginary hol

I'd also be curious about brake pad composites. In car brakes you can have slightly different designs/materials for pads which cause the balance of noise<->dust<->temperature performance to differ. For instance if you

FWIW my grandfather also had tremors and his final years had dementia. So at least for me this could be some genetic validation. We just don't know when my grandfathers tremors began. We always figured it was more of a WWII/Holoca

This is.... a bit depressing considering I have had essential tremor probably since I was about 12 or so years old.

Dragonball was my first experience watching an anime dubbed in a language other than English. Surprisingly not in Japanese. It aired on local TV Telemundo 22 (I think? in Spanish) for Southern California. Before that my only exposure in the

I never said all day. I said you can use different ones at different times of the day, basically _as needed_, like if you need an hour or two to get very heads down with Slack closed and no "taps on the shoulder" as the OP mention

My Shiba knows his "spots" where he meets friends of his and what times we usually run into them. And when they miss those times he will lead us to their apartment because he knows which door they live behind. It's crazy.

On the other hand, smart dogs can be much more difficult to train. They can easily pick up what you're training them to do, but when you want them to actually do it the results can be far more mixed. This is because they're so sma

IMO what Instagram has done is worse. Reels every other post in the feed, reels in stories, reels specific tab. On top of all that, yesterday I wanted to post a 5 second video post, just a regular video post, of my dog doing something, and

You could probably say the same about most large public orgs. For instance many Amazon teams don't even use modern AWS internally for their services. At least as of three years ago.

I wish I could say I actually learned to program on it haha. I mostly just flailed around and acted like I was programming back then. But it definitely started me down the path I'm on now.

News like this makes me so nostalgic for the PSP homebrew and "hacking" scene of the 00's. It's what got me into software in the first place.

I'm aware of that. I'm not sure that memoirs have ever been known as only being 100% truthful.

I don't understand. There are some handy mechanisms you can use on Twitter to filter and curate what you get to see. You can mute any word or hashtag you want. You can create lists containing specific people or orgs you'd like to
