Rep Mike Bost delivers a bag of "thoughts and prayers" to help with the Florida shooting.

They're not even pretending to give a shit

It's only going to get worse as automation reduces demand for workers

"What do you mean by packet loss?"

It seems like they're only making Monster Hunter games only for people who already like them

Damn man rip Hairy-man fan

lol I once had a coworker who would smack his lips and moan every bite.

*smack* mmm *smack* mmm *smack* mmm *smack* mmm *smack* mmm

Jesus it was awful

So just to play devil's advocate but why is it not possible that this is a natural temperature shift like the little ice age?

The temperature is rising magnitudes faster than it has in hundreds of thousands of years, maybe it's not natural. Also nature doesn't have the time to adapt like it does to natural gradual changes.

I had a lot of the same issues when I tried the WiiU one. Nothing is explained. The boss runs away every 2 minutes. Turns out I have to stop and sharpen my weapon every 2 minutes. It felt like they were making it annoying on purpose.

Some sort of full ultra instinct mode?

The indictment spells out exactly what they did. They were, "impairing, obstructing, and defeating the lawful functions of the Federal Elections Commissions, the U.S. Department of Justice, and the U.S. Department of State".

Then there are the additional crimes of wire fraud and identity theft. They were buying stolen identities and using them to open bank accounts that appeared to be owned by Americans, then using those to carry out transactions in support of the conspiracy, including raising money within the US. This element seems to be connected to the plea deal revealed today of a US citizen who was selling identities for this very purpose.

And the trumpeters are so far up their own ass they're still fine with this. Russia doesn't have their best interests in mind.

There are a lot of professions out there where lives are on the line at a moment's notice, but police work seems to be the only one where they actually flip out and kill people.

Hmm. I always heard left over install/uninstall reg keys would cause eventual performance issues.

From people who want to sell snake oil registry cleaners, and those who bought into it

Yeah a reformat is your best bet. Windows 10 boot times vary so wildly depending on whatever random bugs it's hitting.

The larger the Registry is, the longer it takes for the OS to locate the proper Reg keys it needs.

Nope lol. It's a hash table lookup, which constant time

Murder is already illegal, not sure what else you can do

That's Windows 10 for you. Its boot time is totally random.

Games as a service and microtransactions are terrible concepts and you should feel terrible for defending them.

This. They're grindy tedious garbage because they want you to play for a long time. And since they can't be bothered to come up with proportionate content, they get you addicted to playing the same few things over and over with cookie cutter skinner box psychological tricks. They're designed to be boring on purpose so you feel those endorphin hits better from those brief moments of excitement you get from a drop. They're designed to be awful on purpose to try and get you to pay to skip the awful parts.

He's right.

I always said that casuals will slaughter the gaming industry and year by year I'm proven right.

They don't even make games anymore, not games like you're used to anyways. They make 'hooks' and hope to catch as many as possible. More care goes into the UI for an in-game shop than it does to compelling narratives, gameplay, and so on. Low effort dogshit.

Yup, gaming is past its prime.

You slide off edges all the time in the Crash port because they used a pill-shaped character collider, since it's the default in babby's first character controller in babby's first game engine, whereas it was flat in the original

Yikes, gonna be another crappy Unity port like Crash Bandicoot

When they eliminate things like this that are a drop in the bucket for the budget it's just a "fuck you"

Miyamoto is helping direct it, at least he'll keep it on the right track

Should have got a gaming PC then

It also hasn't evolved in 500 years

lol I have to go in on a Level 3 snow emergency. My boss even gets pulled over every time too.

Study after study has shown there are no links between autism and vaccines and that there is no significant risk to getting them. Anti vaxxers need to be shamed and laughed out of the discussion since education clearly isn't working, but we can't because it might hurt their feefees

Reddit's layout allows for branching discussions, GameFAQs's linear message list doesn't accommodate that. It's not hard.

I mean, for the most part, Microsoft has done a really good job rolling out security patches. So why are Windows machines notoriously vulnerable?It's because users put off updating indefinitely. Taking that away was the best thing Microsoft could have done to increase the security of their systems. You don't like it because it inconveniences you, not because it's a bad feature. And it wouldn't inconvenience you if you didn't just keep clicking "install at a later date" and then selecting the latest option, rather then actually scheduling a time that works for you.

If you only have your computer on while you're using it this doesn't work because some genius decided to remove the "Update and shut down" option.

Windows 10 is fucking garbage. My work computer was fine with Windows 7 and when they decided to "upgrade" to 10 things run so slow and stupid ass shit keeps cropping up like how one of my monitors decided not to work for a week.

I hate this too. If you dare have a mechanical drive it will just chug for 20 minutes straight every time you boot up. I don't have many startup programs, it's always background Windows nonsense. Sometimes it'll even start during a game, and I wonder why it's taking forever to load, it's always something like Telemetry, Windows Defender, or SuperFetch. Even SuperFetch slows things down when it's loading.

Why did they remove the "Update and Shut Down" option? You can't just turn off your PC and leave it to update anymore. The only way to actually install the update is to let the nag restart your PC and destroy your work, or go into Settings > Windows Update and manually restart it. It makes you waste your time. There is something deeply wrong with the software designers in charge of this.

Also what's with this hipster stuff regressing to command line

10 is such buggy shit garbage I think it's given me some sort of anxiety. What basic function will stop working this month and force me to reformat? The start menu? Taskbar? Sound? Settings app? Updates?

And sometimes you get clowns like this medical researcher discovering high school math

I've had a game account hijacked despite having 2 FA *Shrug*

How common is it for guys to get things stuck in their rectums by falling on them?

I was driving through an intersection behind a biker. Some dumb shit on her cell phone on the other road ran the red light and plowed over the biker, and spilled the contents of his unhelmeted head all over the asphalt. She kept right on driving after that.

This study says the vaccine is only 10% effective against H3N2. Ouch.

Once when my friend's pug sneezed its eye fell out, then it managed to eat its eye while it was dangling off its face

this is a joke right

I'd always recommend a boa over a python, just from the two snakes I've owned myself, and the multiple other snakes that I have been around that my father's side of the family has owned. They seem a lot more low key and not as hyper.

Corns are pretty chill, too. The garter snake was extremely hyper lol

And with a snake you usually have to clean its water once a day, feed it once a week, clean its habitat a couple times a week.

They shed their skin about once a month. You do have to be watchful for stuck sheds, and if the transparent scale over the eye stays on it can be a problem.

But a snake is cool with being handled every day, or being left alone for a week.

First do your research when setting up its habitat. Some species have strict requirements like temperature, lighting and humidity. The setup can be difficult, but snakes are relatively low maintenance. You'll have to clean its habitat regularly.

Check what kind of food they eat and whether they need any nutritional supplements. If you feed them mice, never feed live as they could bite the snake. Try and find frozen feeder mice at a pet store. Sometimes they won't accept frozen mice, you'll have to feed them freshly killed ones.

As smaller snakes are prey animals, they might be scared of you. But they can grow accustomed to handling. A few protips if you plan on handling your snake. Don't feed them in their regular habitat. The snake will associate opening its cage with getting fed. So, it would get excited for food if you're just reaching in to pick it up. They calm down after investigating your hand, they're really good at distinguishing between fingers and food.

Instead put them in another box to feed. That way it will stay chill when you go to pick it up, and it'll only get excited when you put it in its feeding box. Also don't feed it with your hands, use tongs to offer it prey. (I've changed feeding methods on a snake like this, it really made a difference.)

When holding your snake, don't force it to do anything, just let it crawl through your hands.

The last snake I had was a garter snake and she would actually come out of her hide when she saw me, probably just expecting me to feed her. But she wasn't scared in the least of being handled. She seemed to enjoy it. I could hold her in my lap when sitting at the computer and she'd willingly stay with me, or take a nap in my shirt sleeve or pant leg. Garter snakes are freaking smart. It was the only species I'd owned that would regularly make eye contact with me. She actually understood clothes and would seek out openings to go in for a nap. It's seriously cool when a prey animal trusts you enough to take a nap with you like that.

Hey a single hard drive can hold 3 whole modern AAA games!
