My name’s Buck, and I’m here to party.

Either mine don’t have the coating, or I’m immune to it somehow.

They’re like Maltesers

They see me rollin’

Maybe you should think on that a little.

And part of the PS2’s success was the built-in DVD player which was cheaper than non-console DVD players at the time. So if you were going to buy a DVD player anyway, you were better off buying a PS2, saving some money and getting a console at the same time.

On desktop, you can paste images directly into the textbox.

That’s not a “new trend,” it’s been that way for a long time. Denuvo is a subscription model for publishers, and it doesn’t make sense to keep paying for it after the sales have already peaked.

Any game with the designer’s name in it is dumb to me. The worst example is American McGee’s Alice, mainly because the guy has a confusing name that makes the title sound especially dumb.

Mine are similar to yours, but only two relatively short periods per year. It hits me mid-spring, and end of summer.

As for your allergy testing, it’s likely you’re not really allergic to all of the allergens you were tested for. In many cases for those tests, if a few of the allergens trigger a reaction, then all or most of the injection sites will react rather than just the ones you’re allergic to. It helps when you can tell in the moment which one started it, since reactions happen quite quickly.

It’s easier to accept this annoyance and move on. And then the next one. And the next. Why bother fighting anything at that point? It’s easier to let them step on us and be thankful they’ll take our money for it.

3D printers can move very fast. They typically don’t because it causes all kinds of deformations in the print. Mostly the issues are in acceleration, decelaration, cornering, and controlling the heat snd flow of melting filament.

I don’t know whether or not the accelerometer thing can be done in real time, or if there would be any benefit.

Check out the 2-minute Benchy for an example of how fast a 3D printer can get. This is a test print that typically should take about 45 minutes to an hour at very basic settings.

But also note the quality of the end product. It looks pretty awful. If we could print accurately at even remotely similar speeds, it would be fantastic.

That kid is back on the escalator again!

Because the insurance company already paid them way more than it’s really worth. And if the insurance company has agreed to pay that much, it’s because they’re making more than enough profit off their “service” to everyone that they can afford to pay it.

If your medicine used to cost $60 and now costs $5000 thst’s because the insurance company knows they can get that money from its customers.

In Quebec we often call them “crottes de fromage” which literally translates to cheese turds.

Woop woop, that’s the sound of the police

Fast boot is just Windows logging you out of your session, then hibernating.

Sleep is keeping the computer in a low-power state with RAM powered on…

Both of these have been known to result in laptops powering on unbeknownst to their owners to perform updates and remain powered on afterward.

Windows by default doesn’t fully power off when you tell it to shut down. It goes into hibernation and keeps the network open for updates and will sometimes power back on to complete these updates.

If you want to fully power off, hold the left shift key when you click shut down. Or turn the power off elsewhere (eg. psu or power bar.) I’m sure there’s another way to do it, or to prevent the behavior entirely.

IIRC Doom didn’t have a skybox per se, just parallax ceiling textures. You could put that texture on floors or ceilings and it would show the sky texture that would not be attached to the walls.
