  • It can't be too secret, I'm mean I haven't even played TOTK and even I know about it.

    Joking aside, I have been playing BOTW and I check every body of water and mountain peak I come across because theres usually something, but that's also because there's so many things to find. SNES games though, 99% of the time there's nothing, but everytime I see dark spot in the ground, I'm smacking the shit out of it in hopes i get a fat stack of bananas.

  • Thirded, and was expecting RL come up. It's so unbelievably hard to master yet extremely simple and easy to get a leg up on competition through common sense.

    There is the smurfing problem that seems to arise for me after midnight, but I'm at a level now that smurfs either quit early, or I can torture them into leaving matches.

    There really isn't any other game that scratches the itch. We all suck at RL, but the calling of will to suck just a bit less never dies.

  • Wow dude. We havent even seen the health stats from her apple watch. 7 is generous when we don't know her families history of heart disease. She's sitting at a generous 4 at best until we see her 23 and me.

  • Fact: military officers sometimes use very small amounts of dihydrogen monoxide to torture prisoners to extent that the prisoners will admit to committing actions they had not committed.

  • Once again, that's not the comparison. The comparison is between generally used transmissions, not manuals vs a small percentage of automatic transmissions that have the expensive add on computer/lidar controlled engine and braking systems.

  • Yeah but that's cutting edge technology. Lane assist and automatic acceleration/braking is a tiny percentage of cars, plus it comes only on fairly high end or well optioned vehicles. Sure if I could afford a 70k robot vehicle that would be easier, but that's not really what we were talking about or comparing.

  • I'm not sure you read my comment correctly but that's literally the same as most of the US...

    In the US you have a couple months of theory courses which can be started at 15 years old, a set amount of driving time with an instructor, and then you get what we call a permit. Then before you can take your license test you have to drive 40 hours, 10 of which have to be at night with your permit. You can't drive on your own with a permit and have have to drive with a licensed adult. You log your driving hours on an app, or on a piece of paper your licensed passenger has to sign after each drive. After you submit your hours and pass your test you're given a provisional license for a year. You can't have any driving infractions, drive past midnight or drive anyone in the vehicle unless they are also licensed or are immediate family, otherwise you lose your license for a year.

    Only 13 states out of the 50 don't have the same stipulations and restrictions, and most people still take driving courses in those states anyways.

    I understand that being in Europe you might feel like your driving standards are a lot higher than in the US, but a lot of that is just due to movies and TV.

  • I was fired in June for a mixed non-descript bag of reasons from my previous employer of 8 years. The reasons they told me were not what they told the DOL. They told the DOL that I was fired for attendance issues, which is weird since I hadn't been absent since March, and the company's on-site nurse told me not to come to work. I used 2.5 days of my yearly allowable 6 days of sick time within 6 months. They also told them I falsified records.

    What's really weird is that it happened to coincide with my complaint of workplace harassment by a former boss.

    The worst part was they lied to the DOL and told them I admitted to falsifying records. Little did they know, I recorded audio of my HR meeting so I could prove that I didn't admit to falsifying records.

    Anyways, after months of fighting for unemployment benefits (they didn't even give me a severance), I won my appeal hearing. My previous employer didn't even give the DOL an in service phone number, so they didn't even attend the hearing.

    They really were banking on me not trying to fight them. After months of me sounding like an insane person to everyone I talked about it to, I finally got vindication.

    And before you think this must be some small operating business where my boss just didn't want to show up to lose, this is a large publicly traded company with thousands of employees and is an industry leader in the field. The site I worked for was a drop in their revenue bucket with a mere 70 million in net revenue.

    I may be jobless right now, with 5 kids, a mortgage, and had my name dragged through the mud, but I'm so fucking proud of myself for sticking up for myself and proving that I was fucking right the entire time.

    They still haven't been able to fill my position, have had more people quit and are in dire straights according to an inside source.

    Oh and the kicker? Turns out the last woman they fired complained about the same person, but they gave her a giant severance package even though she was only employed with them less than a year.

    Can't wait to see that place bleed itself to death.

  • The DNC would never allow it. They have actively worked against him twice and at least once they took bribes. Ahem. Sorry. Contingency based donations.

    Him telling anyone to back Biden shows they have a political gun to his back, but God do we need him in office. Too bad the rich are for some reason opposed to taxing the the rich 🤷

  • Driving was a major part of my job when I lived in Boston and I drove manual. Honestly it isn't very fun being in traffic, but I wouldn't say it's much worse than driving an automatic. It becomes old hat. It probably depends a bit more on how stiff the clutch is and other mechanical variables, but I would agree with another commenter here that it does make people better drivers. I would also say manuals aren't for everybody and that's ok, but I also think they should be the norm rather than the complacently comforting automatics that make everyone feel like they are in a golf cart rather than a large metal missile.

  • Just a couple days ago it continually told me it was possible to re-tile part of my shower that is broken without cutting tiles, but none of the math added up. (18.5H x 21.5w area) "Place a 9" tile vertically. Place another 9“ tile vertically on top on the same side. Place another 9" tile on top vertically to cover the remainder of the area."

    I told chatgpt it was wrong, which it admitted, and spit out another wrong answer. I tried specifying a few more times before I started a new chat and dumbed it down to just a simple math algorithm problem. The first part of the chat said it was possible, layed out the steps, and then said it wasn't possible in the last sentence.

    I surely wouldn't trust chatgpt to advise my healthcare, but after seeing it spit out very wrong answers to a basic math question, I'm just wondering why anyone would try to have it advise anyone's health are.

  • Everyone's butt hole could be anywhere on their body. Everyone needs a different kind of toilet to properly position themselves. Everyone starts aligning themselves as friends based on the location of their butt hole. "Oh sorry I can't stay too long. My butthole is in my armpit."
