PETG is very hygroscopic. It’s one of those filaments that you should dry before using every time. Even if it’s a freshly opened package.

Burrito Factory does make some excellent burritos, but I’d actually recommend Burrito Heaven over them. Unless you specifically want a breakfast burrito. It is hard to beat Burrito Factory’s breakfast burritos.

For an additional gender neutral option, your butthole is almost as unique as your fingerprints, to the point that unless you have an identical twin it’s reasonable to assume that no one else shares your specific butthole print.

VR gaming is still pretty niche and expensive if you want a truly good experience. There also haven’t really been any major advancements in the space since the Valve Index almost six years ago.

Inside out tracking is still not where it needs to be and the base stations for outside in tracking are cumbersome.

Additionally, for the full promise of VR gaming to be realized you really need accurate full body tracking to include full hand tracking, a compact, easily stowable, but accurate omnidirectional treadmill, and some way to do all of the tracking without the need for base stations.

And all of that needs to be standardized across the industry.

I too enjoy VR gaming, but there’s been basically no movement in the VR space in a long time, and to most people VR is a novelty at best. Unless someone gives us a decade’s worth of advancement inside of a year or two, I expect modern VR will go the way of the virtual boy. Only to be revived again in 20-30 years.

But have you tried pizza on pineapple? A grilled pineapple slice with all of your pizza toppings on it.

Pretty much everything from Weird Al.

What’s wrong with the sentiment expressed in the headline? AI training is not and should not be considered fair use. Also, copyright laws are broken in the west, more so in the east.

We need a global reform of copyright. Where copyrights can (and must) be shared among all creators credited on a work. The copyright must be held by actual people, not corporations (or any other collective entity), and the copyright ends after 30 years or when the all rights holders die, whichever happens first. That copyright should start at the date of initial publication. The copyright should be nontransferable but it should be able to be licensed to any other entity only with a majority consent of all rights holders. At the expiration of the copyright the work in question should immediately enter the public domain.

And fair use should be treated similarly to how it is in the west, where it’s decided on a case-by-case basis, but context and profit motive matter.

With phrasing like that, you should start a gang. Call yourselves the Autobots.

Probably Norway, Finland, or Sweden. At the risk of potentially offending all Scandinavians, in terms of the things I personally care about, all three countries can be considered as essentially the same. They all check pretty much all of my boxes. They all have ideal (meaning Arctic or subarctic) weather, they’re in a particularly beautiful part of the world, politically and socially they generally align well with my values, hiking and other outdoor activities are readily available, and while it’s not the primary language, English is broadly spoken to a high degree of fluency in all three countries. Meaning I wouldn’t have to struggle to communicate while trying to learn the local language.

In terms of a degree, I don’t currently have one, but I generally enjoy the field I currently work in, so I’d probably go for either a general computer science degree or something more focused on system administration. Possibly with a minor involving some electrical engineering courses.

Something Volcano related, possibly involving a ring and a couple of short men. One of whom is a goddamn hero.

That makes more sense. So, personal conflict rather than national conflict?

In my present state of moderate intoxication, I’d say something similar to my above point, but with the opposite statement regarding fairness. If you are unable to resolve your differences via civil discussion, then settle it with a duel with strict rules as follows.

The rules of which should be:

0. the field should be cleared of bystanders, excepting an impartial referee

1. The only weapons permitted should be flintlock, smooth bore pistols

2. Shooting should occur at high noon (or whatever time would give both parties equal visual impairment due to the sun)

3. Parties should stand twenty paces apart

4. Parties should fire one round each and then move an additional ten paces apart

5. Repeat step 4 until at least one party is dead

In love, no absolutely not. That sounds like a justification for rape, spousal abuse, stalking, harassment, cheating, and other kinds of shitty behavior where it is neither expected nor wanted.

In war, yes. I think that war is one of the most horrific things one nation can perpetrate on another and should be exactly that… If your goal, as a nation, is anything less than the genocide of your target nation’s people, the salting of their land, and the complete eradication of their culture, then your issues can and should be solved diplomatically.

And if that is your goal, fuckin’ do it.

As would Sony and Disney. It is surprising that WB is doing this.

You also have to deal with whatever settings the uploader decided to use when they transcoded the original rip. Which can mess with the color grade and contrast ratio, the hdr grading, introduce noise, and otherwise fuck with the video quality and audio quality.

Most people won’t care, but to some it matters.

For most things if I’m gonna be waiting more than a few weeks, I’ll let myself kind of forget about it and then enjoy it whenever it happens.

That said, I didn’t do that for The Wheel of Time TV show. I learned about it relatively late; a few months before release, and then spent a lot of time reading up on it, looking into the cast, watching trailers, interacting with WoT communities online, and just generally getting kind of hyped. Most people seemed pretty positive about it. It was looking like it might actually be a good adaptation of one of my favorite book series.

Then it came out and it was the single most disappointing adaptation I’ve seen since Eragon.

There are a few optical storage mediums designed for long term archival storage. Like M-Disc or (as mentioned in the article) pioneers DM for Archive, both of which are still commercially available.

And provided they’re stored properly, even more general consumer oriented optical media can easily last a few decades. Granted the environmental aspect of “proper storage” (<50% relative humidity, constant temp <80F and >50F) can be difficult to achieve at home in a lot of regions, but generally banks and credit unions have an option to get a safety deposit box which is generally in an environmentally controlled room. Other than that just store your media in an opaque single disc case.

Also, when they catastrophically failed they wound up looking like industrial lovecraftian horrors and produced some of the loudest non-nuclear man made explosions.

None of which is a good thing, but is still pretty cool.
