I'm just saying having a majority doesn't mean fully controlling congress. It has nothing to do with whether one is a lame duck. Also, posting limits are annoying as fuck.

Get Propranolol - miracle drug. Totally takes the anxiety out of presentations. I used it a couple times at large presentations, and it was really helpful. Since then I don't need …

Falsehoods like that are 100x worse than the price of insulin. 90-95% of diabetes in the US is Type 2, and it is crap diet that causes it. https://www.cdc.gov/diabetes/basics/type2…

They can probably track accurately enough to identify that 90% of games aren't worth billing. Then once they are working with the top 10%, they can negotiate something that makes s…

They are providing a game engine to make the game. If that's not worth it, switch. They don't own your C# code or assets, so they can be moved. For a lot of devs, it provides a lot…

Those are exactly the types of games that would be much worse off under an Unreal style royalty. Cult of the Lamb is $24.99 on Steam Unreal royalty is 5%, so $1.25 per sale Unity i…

That's not what Unity is saying - they are saying reinstalls do not count. From their faq: Does a reinstall of an app on the same device count towards the Unity Runtime Fee? No, we…

They can't force you to pay. The only leverage or legal claim they have is if you want to update your title after Jan 2024, then they can ask you to get up to date on your account.…

"Meat and dairy comes in plastic wrap or bottles." I kind feel like if your butcher doesn't use butcher paper, you aren't really going to a butcher but a meat department at a groce…

It's no fun to drive in the rain, so either pick a nice place to stay for Wed/Thu during the storm, or postpone the trip. If you need to get south, just drive the 5, it shouldn't e…

There are many controlled studies on other respiratory disease like the flu, and some on other corona viruses like SARS the show high efficacy of masks. If you doubt the science, f…

It is a bullshit citationless list.

Lincoln was not an Abolitionist hero as popularly lionized, but a status quo "moderate,' reluctant to rock the boat. Even though he knew it to be wrong, he did nothing in the affir…

PayPal does not look so bad. Their API and documentation has also become pretty good. Documentation has gone form terrible to bad. API has gone from always terrible to appearing OK…

Those are great features of a great language to program with, but when you are talking about adoption, you want good, easy tooling to expose the good stuff. When the first two chap…

It is probably net positive for advanced users who have niche needs that the different editors address, but I'm saying it is bad for beginners/learners. More specifically, I'm sayi…

Telling someone new to a language to start with emacs & cider is a disaster. They are rock solid amazing tools for 2% of programmers. I like emacs, but it is harder to learn than C…
