Yeah I’ve noticed this in ESO as well. I’ve been playing since the beta and people have constantly complained that the endgame content was too easy. Cue some cycles of power creep where your character can get progressively more powerful with better gear followed by more difficult dungeons, and now there is content that the average player just can’t do anymore without min/maxing. I was in a Vet dungeon with three other experienced players and couldn’t complete it after around 7 hours worth of attempts, and our gear/setup was good and we understood the mechanics of the bosses.

There’s no way that Meemaw who picked up this game to casually play as a cute Khajiit and questing would be able to beat it.

“Boss, most of the bricks we have are broken in pieces. We can’t build the wall per specifications.”

“We have a deadline, get it done however possible by the end of the day today.”

You would think that Microsoft would have implemented better functionally by now. Yeah they had WordPad but that sucked too.

Like, c’mon, allow me to alt-highlight blocks of text already.

I can think of only a few reasons why the military would have you take training in Texas:

• Gunslingin’ with revolvers, single and akimbo

• Practicing the perfect “Yeehaw”

• Wrasslin’

• Combat maneuver training in boots with spurs

• Lasso training

I’m sure they won’t notice a few rolls of toilet paper going missing.

The best languages allow you to program not just emojis as outputs, but with emojis themselves. 🫳⌨️🖥️

There’s also the distance between our eyes, the mirror, and the length of the car that we drive that also play an important subconscious role in determining depth perception of the cars in our FOV behind us. This is something you just can’t replicate with a camera as it is fixed in one location that you’re not accustomed to.

We get used to this feeling quickly, even when driving rental cars that aren’t our own. Then our brain adapts to it and we’re all good.

A cool thought about sourdough starters is that they are unique. A starter from 1897 should impart a flavor unlike any other starter. It’s like the snowflake of the yeasty realm.

I’ve got a book that has been out of print for decades that I’ve painstakingly scanned in page by page. Is there a way I can donate it to the archive?

So many trackers that even a kennel of bloodhounds can’t keep up with it.

Also front left for phone and front right for wallet and keys.

For the phone in left pocket though, only the phone is placed in it to prevent it from getting scratched (even with a screen protector it’s annoying), so nothing else goes in there.

Learned that the hard way.

earth.nullschool.net is a pretty cool visualizer of all things meteorological.

Perhaps. But by then it certainly would be the year of the Linux desktop by then. What other operating system can handle years that long, starting from Jan 1, 1970 to Jan 1, 6.460263446E+5814. Linux, that’s what.

About a decade ago, Logitech had this awesome mouse with a freewheel spinning middle mouse button. It allowed for a long spin after release and was excellent for up and down scrolling on a large page. Sadly they don’t seem to be made anymore. They were really fun.
