Nuh-uh, I saw a Steam survey that said that less than two percent of computers use Linux!

What do you mean by “the headless internet backbone servers, Android phones, and smart appliances don’t have Steam”?

I’m with you here, Neptune’s definition seems to overspecify the extract from Oxford they presented.

If we boil stereotyping down to its core components, then it appears to simply be an instance of correlation using subjective and non-complete data: “This individual exerts traits a, b, and c, which means they are highly likely to also exert traits x, y, and z.”

Or: “This individual is operating a car (unique trait/type of person), therefore their visibility and attention capacity are likely reduced or under strain (overgeneralization as driving might come natural to them, and fixed as I might assume that no one is a natural).”

^This is, of course, an oversimplification, as I’m going purely by Neptune’s words and my own understanding, and have not looked up additional sources.

“Some kind of infrasound waves”

Haven’t read the article yet so please excuse my ignorance, but wouldn’t driving the pillars for the foundation into the sediment produce infrasound? And once the turbine is running, it’s hard to imagine such a large device to not cause any kind of sub 20Hz vibrations. After all, you can usually hear (and sometimes feel) them when standing close by the mills on land.

Though, whether the infrasound is loud enough to be a problem is questionable.

I had quite some beef with the tethered caps in the beginning when they didn’t latch properly, but have since gotten used to them. That said:

• Cap on top -> Funny hat for nose!
• Cap on bottom -> Beard gets to take a moist nap.
• Cap on sides -> Mustache also gets to take a sip!

Obviously not much of a problem. I’d need to clean my facial hair either way if eating ice cream or other messy foods, but cap rotation might not be effective if your “face” sticks out 1-2cm from your mouth.

One could also attempt to rotate the cap in a way to achieve quantum tunneling, but I don’t feel that I’ve achieved that level of “tethered cap proficiency” yet.

When was this written, in the 1980’s?

Yup, our everybody’s dear Ursula. I realize that Europe has many institutes and multiple unions, but I feel that the EU best represents Europe as a whole. And, of the multiple bodies the EU is made of, the European Commission often lays face to news and is said to hold the most “power”.

Yes, the USA is a master of making itself seem much more powerful and important than it really is, and what do news outlets love more than painting the devil onto the walls? Denmark living in the USA’s pocket doesn’t help much either.

At this point I wouldn’t be surprised if more Europeans know the presidents of China, Russia, and the USA than know the name of our own European prime minister, which would be pretty sad if actually true.

Of course it’s important to know what other countries are up to, and the EU is currently reliant on the USA for conflict handling (please make a joint European army), but unless you plan to intervene then I see no reason to fanatically follow their politics. Just tell me whether we’ll have to deal with some ancient inept dude, or another ancient inept dude who has managed to weaponize incompetence.

Welcome to my rock, i guess.

I’m vaguely aware that the USA is gearing up for another political tragedy, but who, living outside of the USA, actually follows that stuff? Can’t influence the outcome much either way if you can’t vote, except perhaps by spreading propaganda.

Could be worse, could be XBox. shudders

Couch co-op, split-screen, hotseat; Kingdom Two Crowns is nice. So is Darksiders Genesis, For The King, Moon Hunters, Trine, etc.

Always on the lookout for other good co-op couch games, especially with a good story, but I feel that they are few and far between. :(

Jeg tænker at du har ret i, at de giver synlighed. De giver mig i hvert fald mindre lyst til at stemme på dem, og øger irritationen mod politikerne i helhed.

Edit: For mit vedkommende, så kigger jeg altid på partiernes websider og på opstillendes uddybende svar i test, og jeg ville mene at man kan formidle en del mere information om de opstillende via. en pæn webside end på en plakat.

Let me sing you the song of my people: “AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA”

A new “fuckcars”-like community whose name doesn’t even target the source of their frustration? Neat.

Gamedevs, researchers, and factory engineers sitting in a corner mumbling something about “appropriation”.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Microsoft’s and OpenAI’s hijacking of the term “AI” to mean “LLM”, and those who just blindly follow along and thereby help alienating those who work with AI (not LLM), are a sickness.

Haha, Swedes with their weird and funny language, not like glorious Denmark!

I have a friend who also stutters, or, I found out he stutters after knowing him for a few months.

Apparently he uses a similar technique where he “sings” what he wants to say in a slightly higher-pitched voice when talking in a professional setting. He sounds totally normal when using it, but you’re not in doubt when he doesn’t.

I’m sure it took a lot of training to master it.
