I think this is a problem inherent to this style of communication, whether massive social media or individual niche forums. People used to talk a lot about groupthink, though I don’t hear that term as often today. It seems to be a fundamental thing for human beings to come to a consensus as a group, and then for some individuals to react to that negatively. When positive this looks like science, accepting consensus as truth to have a foundation to work off of, and individuals rejecting the consensus to build stronger foundations.
Outside of the Internet we have much less ability to change our environments, so there’ll naturally be more diversity within groups of neighbors, coworkers, students, etc. But here, there is so much less friction to movement, similar people tend to group up more quickly.
The solution is probably not to expect opposition within a group, but to be a member of many separate groups. You are definitely in an echo chamber, but at the end of the day what you choose to accept as true is your responsibility.
At no point did she appear in the slightest to be sad or grieving in any way. I don’t understand why anyone would need further evidence.
I’ve been looking to do exactly this, thank you!
“Our lab was a little bit smelly,” says Schnabl.
The article keeps reiterating the viewpoint that not selling art devalues it. That’s not necessarily wrong, but it’s such a corporate take on the situation, and completely misses the actual issue people had with this. Corporations should not be using their ability to control our personal devices. It’s a violation of trust, and that’s what people were reacting to.
And further, I think it also completely ignores what is truly devaluing art: allowing executives huge cuts of the profit. They don’t do sufficient work to justify the amount they take from the industry, but if they let bands have the money, they’d lose the control that lets them keep it.
Right? Like if someone decided to whitewash the wall this was on no one would have noticed. But now it’s a work of art recognized on the level of the Mona Lisa.
A nice thing about gaming today is that it’s gotten so much easier to play all the great games, back then my family had a PC and an N64 and could only sample Playstation games at friend’s houses.
This works for lunch, too.
Have you checked iFixit? they carry replacement 3DS parts and might have what you need.
The ten commandments are future imperatives, but English doesn’t have that mood and instead archaic language is used in place of it.
They are as strong a command as can be given, but a literal translation would just be “you will not”. That lacks the weight of the original form so translators try to make it read more seriously than the language allows with “thou shalt not”.
I can’t believe old el paso is willing to spend the money it would take to actually make a less spicy variation. This is probably just the same thing called just “mild” in other markets.
Did they make a hetero version of Dumb and Dumber?
Buy ground pork and mix up a sausage to your tastes, no equipment beyond the basics required if you’re not stuffing it into a casing or aging it and the quality will be far better than what’s available at any grocery store I’ve ever been in.
To taste test as you’re making it, take a small pinch of it and microwave for 10 seconds or so to cook it through.
I’ve bought a lot of physical media over the last couple of years and it can be great, but there’s a lot of pitfalls
The quality of, particularly, DVDs is all over the place and the transition from NTSC to digital is handled in so many different ways that each require special handling.
PAL and European releases can be terrible in all kinds of ways including speeding up the content and optionally pitch correcting the audio.
A lot of content you’d want isn’t available or is only available at exorbitant prices.
UHD discs have tons of read errors that make ripping perfectly difficult and the quality (and this price) of the drive makes a big difference in how well you can do this.
Drives don’t last if you’re ripping lots of stuff.
Just some things off the top of my head, nowhere near a complete list.
It’s still worth it, though, and new releases are easier if that’s what you’re looking for.
The project 4k77 version(s) and associated sequels are worth seeking out if you haven’t seen them yet. They’re fan made 4k scans of gray market film reels of the original theatrical releases so well done they rival any official version available to consumers (in my opinion). Closest you can get to being the right age to see them in theaters in the 70s and 80s.
We dressed like this in the 80s and 90s, too, and still do. Despite all the various fashion movements over time, my experience is that most people dress like this most of the time. The fashion of simple comfortable clothing changes very slowly.
Depends on what I’m cooking, but always for chicken breasts. Roasting at a high temperature works great (it’s not the only way), but can mean the overcooking time is pretty small. It’s an easy way to respect the bird and get the best results possible.
Thighs on the other hand, I just go by eye, you really have to try hard to overcook those.
Might be worth noting that using a thermometer well does require some amount of skill and experience, you need to insert it into the right location for the data to be repeatable. Easier to learn than cooking by eye, though.
I’ll never forget the Christmas I got both the VGA version of this game (on 5 1/4” floppy disks which I still have somewhere around here) and a sound blaster pro. The intro music to this game will always make me smile.
