Right? First thing I'd do would be to message my spouse that I'm okay but to come to the hospital

Researchers always make some of the worst coders unfortunately.

Scientists, pair up with an engineer to implement your code. You'll thank yourself later.

I don't blame them, they come from Reddit and expect the exact same. To them it looks like a feature is missing - when in reality it was deliberately chosen

OP don't take the downvotes personally, it's just that the question has been asked many times before

absolutely true lol

Music was always the one for me. I couldn't listen to that music or this music because "That's gay bro". It didn't matter that I listened to a large variety, it was instilled in me that some music is okay, other stuff is not.

One of my earliest memories was being into Britney Spears. I was young, 10 or so. Dad was never home and I learned to like my own music on my own time without him, and I liked her music. My memory is that I was listening to it in the car, my CD of hers, and then I remember mom and dad arguing, and I don't remember ever seeing that CD again. My mom confirmed when I was an adult that dad threw it out because he didn't want me to listen to her. Did he share any of his music with me as an alternative? No of course not, I just couldn't listen to that.

Now as an adult I've fully embraced it. I love me Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Queen, and other "manly" bands (Yes I know, I chuckle too at Queen), but I'm also an avid Swifty (I even mod !taylorswift@poptalk.scrubbles.tech ) because sometimes you just want a song that feels a bit happier, and I even took my wife to the Eras tour. I love Olivia Rodrigo because damn if we don't all have some teenage angst sometimes, and I've gone back a bit to Britney too - but not as much.

What a shame that people think that art should be subject to what they think the world is like. There is room to like many different things. Enjoying one thing doesn't mean you dislike another thing. People can like many different things. I can enjoy A24 films while also laughing at Wil Farrell movies. None of that means that I'm this or that - humans are complex and like what we like. Thanks for reading this far :)

The game only officially released last year, everything before was Early Access, so yes it did release with the game.

I don't think you're wrong for disliking it, but you're oddly hostile to it. Just say it's not for you. Everyone else in this thread is mostly just saying how they disliked game A or game B. You don't have to like every game. You don't need to understand why others don't enjoy it, you just don't, and that's okay.

I personally like it's pacing, how it adds functionality, and how it takes over over time. I personally dislike Factorio - I find it tedious and repetitive. Tried it a few times, just can't get into it. But hey, that's okay, and so is not liking Satisfactory. We don't need to shit on each other because we have different opinions.

It does actually have priority splitters and mergers

They ran off even their most loyal players one by one with their asinine moves. Lame games, vendor lockin, nickle and dining.

I was die hard for Xbox. Had every one, dozens of games, more probably. Have fond memories of lan parties and friends coming over to play split screen. I remember playing through halo 3 the night it dropped into the early morning, and getting the beta from Reach.

Then they killed off split screen. And lan gaming. You had to use Xbox live to play with your friend in the room. Oh no they don't have Xbox live. Oh no there's an update. Now they don't have their password. They can't join my party. The audio doesn't work. It became a hassle to play with people

Steam just works. And it's a fair price

What we can? How? I've been eating ramen and hemorrhaging savings paying for cobra

Sounds like it, I think docker is exactly what you're looking for

Was gonna say, covid if anything made me more focused. I did so many side projects

There's many ways to do this. Saving the disk state is one, I believe that's what the other person suggested - essentially stores the disk as an image which then you use for future vms as your jumping off point. This is also essentially how workstations are deployed at companies. (Essentially being the key word). Cloud providers have different names for this too, in AWS this is called their AMI.

Another option is Ansible, which essentially handles deploying a VM by running your scripts for you. I haven't played too much with this, and I doubt it works with VirtualBox, but it's something you may want to look into, it would definitely uplevel your skills.

Thirdly is dependent on what you actually use your VM for, you haven't given your use cases but this is one of the reasons containerization became such a thing - because when running an app we mostly don't care about the underlying system. It may be worth it to learn about docker.

Yeah personally I see it as Microsoft was forced to allow kernel access, and crowd strike proved why the courts shouldn't be allowed to make a technical decision like that

Seconded. This seems like a gamers nexus story ready to happen.

Best buy had one of the lowest lows and best recoveries I had ever seen while working there. The new French CEO made it about customer service, and I saw people and teens who had never considered going to a best buy start going. Stock price went up, people were happy.

Then the board ousted him a few years ago and made it all about profits, going right back to where they were in the downward spiral, completely unaware of the irony. I hope they fail now. They could have come out on top but greed took over again.

What a lame thing to be proud of

Because most of these places have <1% non Christians in their communities. Anything else is scary

Okay but for real if anyone here is still using dryer sheets, stop, and go get some dryer balls. Way way better, they last forever so you don't need to keep using them, and they fluff up everything. I've had the same ones for 6 years or so now

Interesting, places that many cultures and beliefs are coming led heavily oppose it, while states that are majority WASPs are for it.

Interesting that simply being around people of other beliefs can change your way of thinking.
