Now I know why my brother kept that floppy with a virus on it.

I once got a token for a shopping cart when I just wanted the shopping cart and give the other guy the 50 cents I suspected in there. He told me that he had gotten the token as a gift himself and that I should pass it on when the time has come.

A few years later I gave it to someone who didn't have any coins with them.

And now I remember a story that should be more important. A complete stranger paid for our engagement rings.

I wanted to propose to my girlfriend with a very special ring. One from a gumball machine. Gumball machines have become rare enough. One with rings was almost impossible to find. I'd always take different routes to and from work and stuff to watch out for one.

So one day I finally found one. With rings besides other toys. It took 20 cent coins but I didn't have a single one on me. But I spied a woman walking along on the other side of the road. I sprinted to her end explained my conundrum. She had three coins. I offered a euro in return but she refused.

The three coins netted me five balls from the machine. I think it was broken and I could have gotten them without any coins. Anyways, in the five balls were three rings. I chose the one with the most beautiful stone for her and one without a stone for myself. I posed the question as soon as I arrived home.

Would be funny if in the future only non-nvidia cards supported PhysX.

Sounds more like a YSK than an unpopular opinion.

"Despite"?

People close to me use the term "therian" for what is colloquially called "furry".

I was once at some children party thingy where they had free cotton candy. My friend and I ate so much that we completely swore off of the stuff for all eternity.

Then I went and got married to a gal with a cotton candy machine...

Yeah, they did a last desperate push in the last few days, especially in France.

1 out of 3 are actually a myriad of Indian engineers?

A company that collects and categorises addresses and sells them to other companies for advertising purposes.

My son bought Cyberpunk 2077 on sale. I got hooked immediately.

Depends of course. But when I moved states to get closer to my in-laws I looked for programming jobs in the nearest city. There were exactly two available. One was for an address broker. I only applied to the other one.

Good luck achieving that compression without the bag.

Keep going! Who knows how many signatures will be ruled as invalid.

High-speed train in Germany.

Primitive Technology can also select their tools for maximum gain. Apparently it's relatively easy when you've got the right woods and kindling.

When you're somewhere in the wilds your wood might be too hard, too soft or too wet or whatever.

She literally talks all the time about how she doesn't get any offers all of the sudden. She probably did at least once in one of her last four streams. She just has become pickier with what she auditions for. But she still has to audition like everyone else.

Yeah, apparently the director and writer of E33 were actually playing BG3 at the time of the casting. But they didn't recognise her voice at all. They just knew that they had found the right one for the role.

It's also saying something that they cast Andy Serkis and didn't use him for performance capture. That was all done before the voice recordings. Recording over already finished performance was an entirely new experience for him.

Fasttrack entry to the EU?

My Norwegian mother actually is applying for German citizenship. Not for this thing, but so she can vote against the Nazis in the next election.
