They just said the smart timers/meters don’t work. Maybe a non internet one with some regular timers. I have grow lights that have 12, 6, or 3 hour timers that repeat the start time daily as long as a power outage doesn’t reset them.

Lower tech solution that would probably work for them, but someone would still have to make it. Not sure if they exist but wouldn’t be surprised if they do.

Most of the stuff that needs draining should flow mostly into the sink, but I do agree it looks like one could get where you don’t want.

As for knocking it over, the “feet” look relatively sturdy, so ideally that would be difficult to do.

It’s a sarcastic thank, like thank you for firing them, or thank you for driving them away from AAA studios.

I work longer hours at home pretty often. At 5 I leave office to make sure my 1.25-1.5 hour drive gets me home at a decent time, and to make sure I miss the worst traffic which I feel happens between 5:30 and 6.

At home I can just keep working, load up a game on my other monitor but keep working open too,and switch between doing some minor game stuff and back to work. I have a game up now at 7 and wrapped up my notes quite comfortably.

I’m also more alert at home because I sleep in more, getting about an hour more sleep.

Oh that I fully agree with. I believe in this particular case he wasn’t talking about complaints of sexual violence, but just sex in general. I personally have a huge aversion to media depicting sexual assault, and I avoid watching most shows that have it, even if it’s “important for the story” or “it’s really good despite that”.

Since I like anime/manga a lot, I’ll use examples there, but I won’t watch/read Berserk, Goblin Slayer, and DanDanDan, and I have a huge issue with how Rose is treated by the original Full Metal Alchemist anime series. The last especially because it wasn’t by the original author making the choice, by tv execs deciding it made better drama or something. There are lots of other reasons I prefer Brotherhood over the first anime, but the rape of Rose is definitely a significant one.

Weatern media is a bit harder for me to pull out examples I would have maybe watched but avoided because of this, but I guess I probably won’t ever watch A Clockwork Orange and I didn’t feel like watching Jessica Jones for those reasons. I’ve never followed Game of Thrones deeply either, so until looking up this quote I wasn’t quite aware sexual violence played a role( I think I suspected it, but heard more about red wedding etc). I was putting off watching it then everyones reaction to the last season dropped my interest, so I can’t claim sexual violence was the reason I haven’t seen it.

Iirc George R.R. Martin has a similar reaction when people complained about the amount of sex in Game of Thrones. A telegraph article that immediately asked me to login said that he was

always astonished that there’s always so much more controversy about the sex than about the violence," and that this reaction “says something about us that isn’t necessarily a good thing to say”

That’s somewhat incorrect. Their stingers have barbs that get stuck in skin and the like and pull out their organs when they try to extract, but that was because it evolved to pierce carapace, not skin. They can sting other insects without dying.

Also, as someone else pointed out, some bees, like bumblebees and carpenter bees,have smooth stingers that do not get stuck in skin.

Some people just need to vent to coworkers about mild shit. They do care about bullying, at least some, but they can still vent. If they aren’t taking it out on the students, not punishing them or complaining to parents, it’s perfectly fine to vent to coworkers.

I do IT work and I vent about customers, but I still love helping people, and I don’t let anything I find weird or annoying about them affect my level of service. Just yesterday I was chatting with my coworker about people asking us to shortcut minor issues (reducing a two click process to one click). It seems minor to us, and seems like a waste of time, but if they do that process 600 times a day that’s 600 clicks instead of 1200. So we grumble to ourselves but we still do it.

It has two teeth like things and usually a barely noticeable “button” to press to release.

I don’t use it, but I assume the writes for you was to imitate VS Codes GitHub copilot. While it will suggest code in stuff like scripts, you can absolutely ignore it

My right monitor will occasionally turn off when the small refrigerator in the room starts its compressor. The right monitor isn’t on battery powered backup like the left one, in an effort to have a bit more time on battery when power really goes out. Took a while for me to figure out the cause, but if I had to troubleshoot that remotely (I do remote IT support for a living) I’d be so confused.

I’ve heard this language doctors use come up before when someone was reviewing an autopsy.“The testicles were unremarkable.”

It’s still her responsibility to make sure her kid uses the internet responsibly. I don’t have any desire to defend chaterbate (never used it, and don’t know much about it) but there are tons of harmful sites out there, forums, places like 4chan and 8chan which are likely even more damaging than some porn sites.

It isn’t the site’s responsibility to make sure you aren’t lying when you claim you’re over 18, unless you want every site to have all of your personal data.

What about the year one million and a half? Giraffes might treat us better.

Lies and slander. I have several, specifically because I am not responsible and lose things often.

The judge ordered them to resubmit the completing without the logos. Didn’t dismiss the case, and not sure if there were any other consequences yet, but it seems reasonable to me.

Two people can have the same idea. There’s even a term for it in science. Do you think Randall has watched every YouTube video that exists? I personally have never seen the video you linked, and while it has a decent amount of views, 13M over 12 years is pretty insignificant for other viral videos(for instance, nigahiga has multiple videos in the 30-60m range, and plenty more in the same 10-20m range like this video).

You mean hot leaf juice?

Mch stands for Machinist, a ranged gun class in FF14, and wildfire is an attack from said class that gets stronger the more hits you land during its duration. The max hits is 6, but enough lag and you can only get 5 of them off in the window. The game has a default 2.5 second global cool down between skills, though some gear and some skills can reduce that. In particular for Wildfire, you combine it with a skill that allows 5 hits of itself plus 1 other at 1.5s per cool down, but if you’re adding another .1 to each of those it can add up to miss unless very tight on timing.

Not a game breaker, but if you’re trying to push through your best performance because your group is failing at 1-2% you can’t really help not being mad at it.

Edit: in addition, the frustration isn’t you personally dying in some pvp, but your group of 8 friends you’re also holding back on fights. In addition to lowering damage, deaths can wear down your healers mp(and significantly lower your own damage output) so some tight mechanics can be harder to react, especially if your brain has you move wrong at first. None of these by themselves are terrible, but over the course of 3 hours working at clearing multiple fights it can wear you out and kill your enjoyment.
