Oh of course, sorry about that... (winks) officer.

Nice try. How long have you been working at DOGE?

Only issue I've experienced is with sound, I have a wireless plantronics headset I use for meetings and it likes to adjust the audio volume automatically for some reason. Doesn't break anything, but is mildly annoying because of the pop-up slider randomly showing up.

Other than that, it doesn't get in my way, and it's the best compliment I can think of.

I don't have specific software I need to run for work or anything, it's just vscode and browser, so it's smooth sailing.

For chilling, I'm massively impressed with how much proton/wine have improved, I've been able to run several windows games I usually play with zero hassle, except for the occasional visual glitch with shader effects (I have a Radeon card).

Heeey, another Windows to Mint convert! I did the same thing a couple of months back and have been having a great time, hope it goes smoothly for you too!

OMG I feel sorry for that poor bear...

That's not what this is, and even then, that competition wasn't even good. You had two countries hoarding technological advancements for themselves, with everything having to be discovered twice.

This is a worldwide collaboration, where each assists the others, and it's a much better way of making progress. See ITER.

Probably yelling her phone number to someone who blew her a kiss.

Well yes, you will be constantly tailgated on the left (fast) lane unless there's traffic ahead of you.

Scoot over and let me break the speed limit in peace, or do you need me to TURN ON MY LEFT BLINKERS? (which by the way has got to be the most aggressively polite way of raging at someone in traffic)

There's few things trump won't do, but reversing a precious president's pardon opens up a gaping hole in his own escape strategy and kills off a gold egg hen...

The one use of roundup that's universally approved.

No sir never seen it in me life, honest to god sir

I'll add this along with "gargling beast balls" to the list of sentences I wasn't expecting to read today.

Sex can transcend appearance much easier than love can.

My argument: as a shepherd, would you realistically consider any of your sheep as a love interest?

I rest my case.

Ah the mythical Ouroboros of Pegging.

You're not alone brother, Einstein himself had beef with quantum mechanics (as did most of the guys who developed the whole field, AFAIK).

His famous quote "god doesn't play dice" isnt about destiny or religion or something. It's specifically about this, about how the universe is mostly deterministic (the tree DOES make a sound, the cat IS alive OR dead) except in quantum physics where things supposedly are random and based on probability? Hogwash.

Proving that it is hogwash, however, is a Nobel prize and a ticket to immortality...

So many games work on Proton/Wine these days, it's not really surprising anymore.

Nowadays you have a huge chunk of games being built on massively popular engines like Unity and Unreal, making it much easier to support/optimise for.

Another big point is that you're not developing exclusively against DirectX. Vulkan is very popular, and both APIs are frequently supported by game engines. This introduces some "good habits", in that it forces the devs to think about compatibility from the get go, instead of trying to come up with shady tricks to get one or two extra fps that only work in specific conditions and crash the game otherwise.

Oh man thanks for reminding me of this.

Link with lyrics - not that it helps much IMO...

In the reflection, the box appears to have a cat in it. There is no cat in the original (right side) box.

This is a joke on the famous "Schrödinger's cat", a thought experiment about quantum superposition where a cat inside a box is both alive and dead at the same time, up until the moment someone looks into the box.

To me as a layman, this sounds like utter hogwash, so it's funny because it "proves" the experiment as best as it can be proven (which is not at all).

I suspect many theoretical physicists think the same way, but they've learned these equations that tell them they need to believe this hogwash. Let's spare a thought for their troubled souls...

Haha jokes on you, I make so little that I don't have to pay taxes!

Shit I'm gonna go live in the woods. Awooooo

Can I subscribe to more whale facts?
