    You'll have to define easy. If you go faster, that means you're outputting more wattage per second. You may get there faster, but you've used up the new capacity that your body has…

    Can anyone explain how this is still a valid question in 2024 with all of the resources we have at our disposal? Google, Youtube, books, ChatGPT.

    Please provide even one link to an image or book or anything that proves what you're saying is true. The fact that this is the top comment is troubling, since your question is answ…

    Were these skill "trees" the output of an LLM or something? Of the domains I have a lot of familiarity with, the ordering (if it can even be assumed the easy ones are at the bottom…

    It made me laugh. Maybe they pulled random people from the hallway who had never seen the original Doom (or any FPS), or maybe only selected people who wore glasses and forgot them…

    You don't care that your government conspired to hide information that, by your own opinion, didn't have much utility one way or the other?

    If I were one to use the word "cringe", a fifty year old willfully using the words "kinda cringe" would absolutely be cringe.

    No, they don't need to be adjusted. The linked website has already adjusted for CPI. There's even an option to turn on/off adjusting, and it's on by default. I didn't cite because …

    Do you know what kinds of cars exist where you don't have to inspect the UI before you begin driving to make sure critical features haven't moved? All of them except Tesla.

    This doesn't even remotely address anything anyone has said regarding your claim about playing a game with the "mouse's firmware". At least you're now aware of how ridiculous it so…

    This is about as "true" as fully replacing a Honda Civic's engine with something that has 10x the horsepower, and then advertising that you managed to get 10x the horsepower out of…

    It's pretty easy to post a link to a codebase and say "this is unreadable". What do you find unreadable about it? What would you do differently now that there have been 30 years of…
