I don't care how adept you are at reading an analog clock, there's no way it's faster than simply reading a (max) 4 digit number unless you have some massive dyslexia.

1: all the pipes leading to my house are out of my control and will be sending the same temperature and purity of water regardless of what temperature I set the tap to? The water goes into my house, to the hot water heater, to the tap. Or just into my house to the tap. Either way whatever is outside of that is outside of my control and the hot water heater can't cause the water to retroactively absorb lead from pipes outside of my house.
And as for your second point. Running the kettle from cold takes like 4-5mins. Running the hot water to max temp takes 30 secs. Running the kettle with max temp water takes 1:30-2 mins. That's still like a 50% time savings, for a 500ml load. I haven't tried with larger amounts than that because I don't need more than that, but I assume that the greater the volume of water, the more time it would take from cold.

Yeah everyone I've seen complaining about the launch had it on consoles. I played it on PC a couple days after launch and played through the whole thing in a week or so because I was off work, and don't remember having a single crash or issue.

Okay, now bring two cups to room temperature and then boil both and tell me you can tell the difference. I'm not talking about drinking hot water straight from the tap.

It's fucking stupid. Why not replace other letters with random characters then? Especially if there's no consistency in the way you use it. Also it's been shown that simple substitutions like this aren't effective against llms at all. Otherwise any random misspelling or typos would totally fuck them. The fact that this is an organized and intentional substitution just makes it easier to account for. It'd literally be one line of code.

Yeah I'm a darkly-nerple guy too, AMA.

That's crazy, I've never heard that. I know our hot water heaters are kept high enough that bacteria can't grow, and every source I've found says the other risk is lead contamination, and we don't have any lead pipes in our house, so I'm going to assume this is an old outdated rule. Plus for the bacteria concern, it's being boiled again anyway.

Is this an ad? Like how is this even a question? Amazon doesn't need any more fucking money, especially not for digital goods that can be easily copied and acquired elsewhere.

Or, someone didn't see this but did see all the other heinous shit he said, and planned his murder. I wouldn't be surprised if the feds knocked him out and are framing someone, and I also wouldn't be surprised if they're just framing someone because they don't know who actually did it, but I also wouldn't be surprised at all to find out that someone just genuinely wanted him dead because of all the damage he's done and fucked up things he advocated for.

I think you're assuming that everyone has the same reactions as you do, but that's not true at all. I've never lived in a place with a heavy cockroach infestation but I've seen a few and they don't have that effect on me at all. I logically know they're a pest and gross, but I don't have any physical or emotional reaction to them at all. I feel like your fear is a learned response.

Good news, it's not just the switch. Pretty much every other console game is also better on PC, even just because of the existence of pause/save state functionality. That's not even getting into romhacks or retro achievements or any of the other major benefits to emulation.

Depends where you are and where your source is coming from I assume, but in general I think it's a fair assumption that they've gotten a lot stronger. There also are lots of different strains with different strengths and characteristics. In some places in Canada there are online or physical dispensaries that carry really high quality products that are way stronger than what used to be available on the black market.

That probably is what happened one time 3 years ago, and that's why the kitty does this every time since then.

In Canada our electricity also only goes to 120v, but the simple solution for this is to utilize the already hot water from the water heater. The hot tap on full already comes out steaming. Add that to the electric kettle and it takes less than a minute to boil 500ml.

Hi, sorry I didn't see this until now, but yes, it is still happening now. I'm on 446 right now.

Edit: for example to test it again I just navigated to the main /all page. The first post was from politicalmemes, so I tap on the community name to navigate to the politicalmemes community. Once there I open up an image. When I swipe to dismiss that image, rather than return to the community, I get brought back to All.

Pretty sure he believed in political violence already

Fucking 9 minute video for something that could be a few sentences of text, gross. Fucking gate keeping information.

Oh yeah, Deluge, Transmission, qBittorrent, those are just a few of my favourites. Oh and TuxRacer of course.

What point are you trying to make? You say you're "all for calling this kind of fuckery out" but then you're criticizing people for calling it out? And who cares what other EULAs might say? The point is that the license agreement for this game and others owned by this company didn't say this shit before, and now they do. The company is actively making their user agreement more hostile to the users which is what people are pissed about.

This is why even though I love aquariums, I don't think I could have one. Like I get that the purpose of the image is to show that they have a much larger space than most other fish kept in aquariums, and that's a much bigger tank than most people have, but that still doesn't seem like a lot of room to live their entire life in. It just makes me sad to think about it.
