Already mentioned but I’ll second https://isthereanydeal.com/ as existing.

That said, Valve has a fairly generous refund policy and the real kicker would be if Valve would automatically give you the better deal if the price drops within the refund window, backed up by such a feature. I heard them doing that before but it was only special cases, iirc, and the period is only 14 days but still.

Well, the DNC certainly is into self harm at they’ve got ya there I guess.

You know my choice but can I also reverse it and go over the billionaires twice more at least? Just to be sure.

True. I think Tetra mod might let you, at least. Although I think you need something for the binding still so it’s not 1:1, lol

A few mods let you do this. You shouldn’t, but you could.

Hell back in my day we straight up set fire to our wooden shields just for fun and an excuse to go ruin a gate guard’s day by smashing all his pots.

I can’t say I have a favourite cute animal but raising my soon to be four year old, I’ve asked some questions to try and break her away from the obvious she gets at daycare and whatnot.

For instance, she likes opposites, like “happy and sad are opposites” and if she gives me that line, I like to start challenging her to give me opposites of things that don’t have an obvious answer. Some do have an answer, like the opposite of angry is probably calm, but others less so, like the opposite of foot might be hand, the opposite of TV is radio, the opposite of running is walking… not strictly true, but she’ll give the most reasonable answers.

It gets interesting when it’s really weird. What’s the opposite of stars? What’s the opposite of a blanket? What’s the opposite of the toilet? And so on. She sometimes goes with word association (stars and sky, blanket and pillow) or she reasons it out (toilet and dinner table). It’s neat, and I think it promotes critical thinking but I mostly just like being weird. Lol

I’m not even sure Valve has 1000 employees. They’re notoriously small with a weird structure, iirc something like 300ish people who are free to just take on projects and are well paid.

Is that why my podium computer on campus restarted randomly during a students presentation?

I will say it would have been a good advertisement for Linux except they’re almost all Mac users… Lol

I’m so grateful my hybrid from over a decade ago still gets 45mpg. People thought me crazy to drop roughly $5k more on a car but who’s laughing now?

Although, there were so few options back then and I really wanted an EV, even before we had places to charge it. If I just had a little more money I’d probably have had to get a Tesla. No way past me would have guessed the current state of things regarding that… I knew gas was gonna be a liability, but not that Elon was a lunatic, or even who he was. This was pre-Trump, even!

I think it’ll also do it if you return after a long time. I duel boot and get hit with the “we’re doing this right now” updates, which oddly still wait a few minutes before going it, I guess so I can settle in first and get annoyed that I need to open that proprietary PPT again.

I say it is a lunatic, because who says this on fucking LinkedIn, lol. Also I really would hate to be that person’s son, even if they’re trying to make a valid point because they’re totally throwing their kid under the bus here.

Basically it’s like LinkedIn poisoned their brain’s ability to form an argument and before that they were a perfectly reasonable adult with sensible values that are still there, hidden under the c-suite talk.

A 4070 Super is an expensive and powerful card, though, so that’s not a very good sample. DLSS 4 is more for lower end cards, like a 4060, and only on games with bad optimization (which tend to use in house engines, rather than something like UE5).

Hell, graphics haven’t even improved all that much since my old 2070 days, and yet somehow it can’t even run half of the new releases at 1440p. Some of that are those expenses special effects (which you can’t always disable) but some of that is just really shit optimization.

You’d hope so, and reviews suggest it’s better but takes a while for each turn. And to be fair, HoMM3 was decades ago, back then they’d compensate for bad AI by giving them considerably more resources per turn. That was just the standard at the time for any turn taking game though.

My ex took my axe, and she lives all the way in Texas.

So, if I’m understanding right, the computer said there’s a great chance at $1 million in the mystery box if I’m the type to pick it and only it, which I am.

But I pick it for this bad reason: friends and I like to make fun of my troll luck. I’d take it, and somehow get $0 despite several more people after me will get $1 million after me, including two boxers. We’d laugh at “can you believe this shit?” and know it just wasn’t in the stars, just like that time I broke my ankle and all the automated walkways at the airport were broken. It’s that kind of thing (and yes that happened). My infamous troll luck strikes again!

Or it’s all superstition and I get a million bucks, since I’m pretty sure my infamous luck is just confirmation bias. Either way, fun had by all.

That happened to me, but I’m happy with CachyOS now for most things. I can’t believe how much it a step down 11 was from 10 though, it was astounding. Worse than 7 to 8, even.

Yes, that tracks. In very heavy fog, you should be at a reduced speed since you can’t see more than a meter in front of you. I imagine that’s true in a blizzard too. Your second reading is a little confusing though, I imagine in most cases like this a slowed vehicle is a hazard to others…

Tell that to everyone who is double parked, lol.

That said, I’ve driven in a sudden thick fog before on a freeway and the hazards helped everyone see each other. This was like 1 meter of visibility and everyone just moved at a slow speed until we were out of it. I think it was slightly more reliable than break lights, but only just.

Don’t forget Mrs. Hazards. All those ladies let each other know where it’s safe to be.
