This comment section is a nice mix of “I’m a waiter, please don’t do this, you’re making my job harder” and “I always do this to make the waiters’ lives easier”

Well, it was your negligence to have bald tyres, so it would be your fault of you had an accident because of that.

Again, I’m saying this is not a good analogy.

I’m imagining the south park story line now

I love PE, didn’t like 3rd Birthday.

I’m keen to see what this is.

The beds can’t do abortions, but they can extract Xenomorph aliens.

I disagree that the responsibly of an accident falls on what other people wanted you to do. What if you had to take someone to hospital and the same accident occurred? Is it the fault of the person that needed to go to hospital? What if you need to rush out to help a family member in distress? Would it be their fault for being in distress?

I think it’s not a good analogy for responsibility. Sometimes car accidents happen and you can’t pin that on “it’s not my fault because I didn’t actually want to go to the place I’m driving”

Boo.

There’s no way this can work.

They have come up with a radical idea, but surely in execution they’ve realised it’s not feasible but are too chicken to back down. It’ll probably end up being a DNS block or a “if you are over 18 click to enter” pop ups

That’s the real problem. I love hot spicy food, but I can’t deal with the consequences.

Sometimes if I can stay home alone the day after, I’ll eat something extra hot and nurse the wounds in private.

Offset is generally considered better because if you have an emergency or financial opportunity you still have access to cash. If you put extra into repayments you’re forced to redraw or refinance if you suddenly need funds.

Unless you have offset accounts, in which case it’s better to hold surplus liquid that offsets the amount owing before interest calculation

I tended to go do some Golden Saucer stuff because I just wasn’t that interested in the crafting levels. I never really need anything crafted; playing solo the gear you get in msq is more than enough.

FFXIV

I’m a huge FF fan, and 14 has a lot of praise so I had a go. I enjoyed FFXI somewhat so I thought maybe 14 would be enjoyable, but no matter how long I stuck around I just couldn’t figure out if it was fun. I spent a lot of time making number go up, but when I stepped away from the computer I felt like I hadn’t achieved anything.

I played through the base game. The first expansion. Began the second expansion. I reflected on my experience and I couldn’t even tell you what the game was about. It’s just walk here, click an NPC, walk there click an NPC, fight battle, repeat. And the battles are so boring; the expectation is that you learn the ideal rotation of attacks and abilities and you just apply that to 99% of battles and make sure to do them efficiently - if you can’t do that you are labelled a noob.

Maybe the difference between 11 and 14 was that I did 11 with a friend, so it felt like I was spending time with him, whereas I did 14 by myself.

Not so much planets, but the galaxy.

Serious question: if something is “finished” why would that spark removal. At some point a lot of complete programs will no longer be actively maintained but they are still useful and working.

Also, is there a way to keep copies of things like this? I know how to install via apt install, and whatnot, but that relies on an internet connection and a repo. I’m used to windows where I can back up the installers on my hard drive.

Is this a real picture?! Wild!
