    I switched my kids to Linux too. They have a multi-seat setup so now they can both use the PC at the same time. With the state of Linux gaming, we have yet to encounter a reason to…

    Interesting point! How about if instead of a burrito I order yakisoba or chicken tendies?

    Unreal Tournament and Quake 2 for me.

    I like TUIs for a lot of reasons, but this one might be the biggest.

    I agree, I never found changing diapers that difficult or bad. I was also hardened by years of chronic insomnia so the sleep disruption wasn't a big deal, I took most of the night-…

    Not to mention that it seems like everything has to go through like 10 redirects just to log in, and then you have to dismiss various pop-ups before you can just do whatever you we…

    You’re not alone. Like many in this thread, I have kids and a house, etc. etc. Never needed anything like this. Maybe jotting down a note with pen and paper now and then, or at mos…

    Hmm, when I think “old Internet” I don’t think Napster, IE, WAP… I think usenet, gopher, telnet MUDs, IRC netsplits and FTP warez.

    I wonder if anyone else has experienced this. The brain zaps I got when stopping Lexapro (Escitalopram) were identical to brain zaps I get when I’m sick from something like the flu…

    I found this disappointing too. I know they don’t have the resources to build their own equivalent of Nanite and such, but… On top of the performance issues, there were a number of…

    I just found out the Talos 2 DLC is out on Steam this Friday!

    It really kills my productivity too, although I don’t suffer from ADHD. For me it’s about the feeling of being seen/watched that makes me feel anxious and self-conscious all the ti…

    Unity has been quite solid for me on Linux lately. It’s mainly just minor annoyances like the project settings window being too small when you open it so you have to resize it, lit…

    All of those things are better done in writing so that: - There’s a record of decisions and the thought process behind them - When asked for input I can take time to consider a res…

    Probably a multi-year class action suit where everyone who got screwed over eventually gets $0.79 for their troubles while lawyers on both sides get a fat payday for creating exact…

    Very interesting. Jutting my jaw forward makes a very obvious loud squeal at what sounds like a lower frequency than my normal background tinnitus. I never noticed that before. I d…

    I always just assumed this was a normal thing that everyone had and never bothered to look it up. Sounds exactly like the roar of a high wind to me.

    I don’t have any (diagnosed) neurological disability but I would do poorly in that situation too. Excessive context switching is a major source of stress: adrenaline, fast heartbea…

    Honestly, I kind of agree. I’d be hard-pressed to think if any concrete advice I’ve received from other parents that was worth a good god damn, either from my generation or older. …

    I know what you mean. I’ve got two girls, 5 and 6, who love to fight over the pettiest shit. Like, when they’re in the car, one will yell “she’s looking out MY window!” “NO I’M NOT…

    Two kids having some kind of competitive tantrum is so much more difficult than just one kid having a tantrum. They set each other off over and over in some kind of fucking feedbac…
