Surprisingly those dual-ended USB-A + USB-C flash drives can be pretty decent, especially for stuff like this.

Nothing quite like getting the "free thing w/ $5 purchase" and buying only a Dave's single.

A burger and fries for $7 ain't bad. But unfortunately the quality of Wendy's has been plummeting.

I've been there multiple times and can confirm. Among the younger population it's like 90% black and white clothing. That number goes down as you look at older groups. However, almost all of the cars are also black or white.

I stuck out like a sore thumb wearing pink, orange, green, etc. Last time I went, I was in Seoul for a whole week. I saw one young person wearing pink, and maybe 10 young people wearing colorful outfits.

on Which is it Lemmy? · c/lemmyshitpost · 2 pts · 6d

If you considered the cube to be 1m^3 , the time at which the cube enters the orange portal t1, and the time at which the cube fully exist the blue portal t2, then the speed of the cube relative to the world outside of the blue portal would be 1m / (t2-t1).

Assuming the cube maintains this speed after exiting the blue portal, it would behave as in scenario B.

How does Blasphemous 2 compare to 1? I haven't finished the first yet, but the platforming controls often put me off because they feel so rigid. Perhaps I'm just too used to 2D platformers having some movement leniency like coyote time.

I do really like the atmosphere and theme of the game, but boy is there a lot of platforming.

I will never understand chunky shoes. When I was young, people at school were picked on for having very big feet, getting called a clown or a t-rex or something.

Now it's fashionable to wear shoes that are both oversized for your feet, heavier than they need to be, and make your feet look disfigured (not that I have anything against people with disfigured feet). What does having weird shapes on your feet achieve? Especially when the same people wear the same bland outfit-of-the-month as all of their fast fashion friends. Either lean into the avant garde or stay basic. You can't pick both and pretend it's cool.

EDIT: Not particularly bashing Elliot here. I don't like the look but at least it's mostly cohesive? And definitely on-brand for Elliot's style.

You forgot to mention that even in the cases of electric, the electricity is mostly generated by by burning non-renewables, including coal.

From what I can tell, the PC in the image is built in the Jonsbo D32 PRO MESH Black, which is listed as "D396×W207×H314mm". However, the META PCs page says it's built in the Jonsbo D32 Black, which doesn't quite exist (the Jonsbo D32 models are PRO Black, PRO MESH Black, and STD Black). Thankfully, they are all the same size and the only differences are the side panel (mesh vs glass) and whether or not it has a moveable spine for variable spacing (PRO vs STD).

Though, the META PCs website should really be more specific in their specs list.

rough writeup at if you're curious how other dev teams are approaching it.

Ah thank you, I will read " " and tell my peers and colleagues how we're closing the evaluation gap.

The fix isn't to write your own five sentence response, it's to let an LLM write your response for you and post without any proofreading.

Well, they would be making the legal minimum wage in their area since their tipped wage does not meet or exceed minimum wage per hours worked. Still not a liveable wage, especially considering the amount of unclocked labor that occurs in the food service industry.

Kind of impossible when a company like Valve has hardware purchasing power which means RAM and NVME are bought at a less absurd price.

It's also worth mentioning that you can't really upgrade a Steam Machine down the line when it starts to feel underwhelming in a couple years, given its 8GB VRAM/RDNA3 architecture. I wouldn't say it's overpriced but I wouldn't say it offers much value either. It just has quirks (software & formfactor).
