Did you know that you can do a web search on somebody’s name and find information about them? Like this article.

In addition to being a Fox News commentator, Milloy is a lawyer and lobbyist with close financial and organizational ties to tobacco and oil companies.

Milloy disputed second hand smoke is harmful and considers climate change a hoax. He also claimed the studies of harm from DDT, global warming, Alar, breast implants, ozone depletion and mad cow disease are false.

I never understand somebody just simping for a corporation like that. You can be a fan of their stuff and dislike how they run the company. Being a Mario or Zelda fan doesn’t mean you have to stick up for terrible decisions made by suits.

Nintendo: great games, terrible company. So yeah, I play their shit, but I don’t give them any money.

They multiplied both sides by 10.

0.9999… times 10 is 9.9999…

X times 10 is 10x.

It’s a website where you can buy music. I prefer having music in OGG or Opus format, and most of the time you can only get MP3. Bandcamp gives you the option to download your music in several formats, and one of them is OGG.

That’s starting to change, because I can find more file-sharers who are using FLAC as storage becomes cheaper. Then I can convert FLAC to Opus. However, Bandcamp also gives you the option to stream music from their app, and it’s nice to have access to so much music on my phone.

You’re being downvoted because you’re wrong.

My point was only that .9 repeating is still less than 1 in tangible measurement

If it’s less than 1, then it isn’t repeating indefinitely, which is what the ellipsis indicates.

That’s more convoluted than the 1/3, 2/3, 3/3 thing.

3/3 = 0.99999…

3/3 = 1

If somebody still wants to argue after that, don’t bother.

My favorite thing about this argument is that not only are you right, but you can prove it with math.

It was 10 days, but, yeah, not a lot of time, especially for one guy. (That one guy was Brendan Eich, by the way.)

Yes. I find them on Bandcamp.

That’s a d12. Clearly, the Romans were using it to play D&D.

This is why I always do research on the game before playing it. Optimally, I’ll download and read the rulebook, but “let’s play” videos work in a pinch. (Or if the rulebook is a bit obtuse.)

Of course, if you don’t know what you’re playing beforehand, then it’s up to the host(s) to teach you, and it all depends upon how good they are at teaching (and how good you are at paying attention). These situations are obviously much more dodgy, so I try to at least peruse the rulebook a bit and keep it nearby during the game so that I can look up rules during other players’ turns.

Finally, it does get easier. It does take time and energy to learn these more complex games, but the payoff is more interesting and satisfying game experiences. Every time you play, you learn a little more. Of course, if you aren’t getting any enjoyment out of it at all, you might want to stick with lighter games.

I think it comes from the Bible.

R-Type is a classic. I haven’t played it much, because I always liked Gradius so much better. The other two were Japan-exclusive. Wrecking Crew '98 looks like a puzzle game based on the NES game Wrecking Crew.

There is absolutely nothing I do in an IDE frequently enough to memorize a bunch of arcane commands, especially in 3 days. Regex solves any mass-operations.

Yeah, don’t memorize a bunch of arcane commands. Use regex instead!

I refuse to see how vim and emacs is worth learning.

Interesting choice of words. You aren’t unable to see…you refuse to. Why would you refuse knowledge?

This happens much more often than the other one.

I always think about stuff like this whenever libertarians talk about how much more efficient corporations are than government. I’m like, “Have you ever worked for a corporation?” Organizations are just huge dumpster fires in general, because they’re all run by humans.

That should be elementary computer literacy: if you don’t know what the file does, then don’t delete it.
