In your initial comment I thought you wanted to keep the design and only add an adjuster. I was merely pointing out that you’d need a new needle each time. My guess is that these things are designed for the lowest common denominator. Trusting that people are actually going to replace the needle between dosages is probably a bad idea.

That would mean reusing a needle, which is not sanitary or safe. Now if they did a design like those multi colored ink pens from middle school, that would be different.

You can look up the minutes from the exact meeting where they discuss the wording of the amendment. There is an official record of these discussions. This exact question was asked and it was confirmed that the President is included. I don’t have a link atm, but someone posted it in another thread.

In his defense he put in hella hours to get it where it is. I agree he should give more feedback though. He was MIA when someone pinged him in the discord about the breaking changes of 19 and he chimed in and updated it. I was active in the discord and was in the closed beta. He did a LOT of work around the clock. Here’s to hoping he comes back with more frequent (even if minor) updates.

Written? Guess we’ll have to ban the Bible then

Limit it to corporations of a certain size then. It’s not people like your friend that are doing the bulk of the damage. It’s large corporations buying up entire neighborhoods to rent them forever.

Schedule 3

I actually have high hopes for this. The Casting has been spot on I feel. Still concerned with why the Creators left, but I think it’ll still be good. What I really want though is a new animated series from the creators about the gang in early adulthood.

To be fair, he is dead inside

So technical. Such error

🍿🛋️ Ok, let’s hear them.

I have friends that claim they “don’t have hobbies” but the truth is that they spend all their time with their kids and working.

So if they say, “well I don’t do much in the way of hobbies because I’m too busy working and taking care of my kids.” You can then follow up with “well what do you do for work?” Or “what’s the last vacation or outing you did with your kids?” Or “what are your kids interested in? How old are they? Tell me about their personalities.”

The fact that they “don’t have hobbies” isn’t necessarily it backfiring, you then just need to pivot based on their answers. This is just a way to break the ice with someone.

Everyone spends their days doing things, you are really just asking them “how do you spend your time?” Everyone has an answer to that…unless they are in a coma.

I mean what Discords do you participate in? What Lemmy communities do you follow? What videos on YouTube do you like to watch?

You can reframe this and say, “I like to participate in online chat forums about the latest gaming news and technology (discord). I look for cool recipes and cooking techniques (Lemmy cooking community). And I love trying to find new funny comedians to listen to (YouTube).” I think if you narrow it down to the interests you enjoy, rather than “dicking around online” you’ll find that you have interesting things to talk about.

Obviously those examples are my own, but I’m sure you use those platforms because they feed you certain content that you enjoy.

So what do you like to do for fun? Or, What are some of your hobbies?

I find these much better than “so what do you do for work?”, which is what I’m asked constantly. “Yes, person who I don’t know, let me discuss work during my free time with you.”

Always Alone April

That doesn’t change the fact that it is possible. Also some people have vacation homes, or use airbnbs that have better wifi speeds, or will be willing to pay for faster hotel speeds. It’s totally possible, but yes, your point stands that connection speeds matter and I would lower expectations if you are traveling.

Hopefully we get some deeper in depth reviews out there in the coming weeks. A lot of these reviewers only had the weekend and rushed these out. SpawnPoiint, which actually had a good review, admitted that during his review period he never even ran down the battery once. And according to Tested’s review it only has a 4-5.5 hour battery life. The Verge article is also not the best review compared to some reviews like Tested, who tested this on multiple different connection speeds. Having read/watched most of these reviews, the Verge one seems to be the lowest effort.

This isn’t true. You can remote play from an outside network that is different from the one your PS5 is connected to provided that your PS5 is in rest mode and your connection at both ends is sufficient.

Interesting. Thanks for pointing that out. Now I’m deep in a wikipedia hole better understanding what anime means and what it doesn’t. The more you know.

Good point, makes sense

This is a really interesting concept. What if developers had paid or ad supported official streams? Sure most people would block the ads or continue to watch their favorite streamer, but a non-zero amount of players might elect to watch the devs play the game in an effort to support them directly. And this would just be additive revenue compared to the zero they are getting right now on streams. It might even be synergistic as official advertisement for the game and as a way to connect directly to their community. I could see it also as a way to play a game but with director commentary on, similar to how movies do it.
