Texas traditionally had cheap housing (as in price per floor area) and makes up for it on the property tax side. I haven’t lived there in a dozen years now, so not sure what things look like today.

I would love that. I live in Japan and have considered trying to build an outdoor bath in the future since we enjoy going to them at hotsprings.

These days, my home PC is mostly used for consuming media, editing my own media, and (at least this time of year) business and tax paperwork. Games are definitely not my primary use.

In Japan, they’re typically for aircon units, but I don’t see anything indicating such would be mounted there nor does it look to be an exterior wall for the rest of the unit.

In that great ass they call gichagumee (or something like that)

Scishow tangents theme song in my ass

Huge in Japan (though I think it’s more that someone bought the rights to use the name rather than the yahoo of old IIRC).

This went from engaging to utter burnout and misery very quickly for me.

I’d get a book or something and get off the internet were I you. It’s good to take a break either way, sometimes.

It’s probably going to be a kitten sort of day; I’m stress testing and trying to address the pain points (which so far is mostly on all the other services outside my code that can’t keep up; not a bad place to be).

I mostly agree. I think having a “do it by age 30” rule or something might be a little better than requiring it at 18 (I graduated high school at 17 and was already in university at 18 so this would have messed things up financially as well as mentally).

Yep. I got hounded for years and years.

After the massive blunder of Starfield, I cannot see how Elder scrolls 6 could possibly be successful

I mean, this statement alone supposes that the company will not learn anything from the failure. Even if you assume they do not care about the game or its players, they do care about their bottom line and profits and that alone is motivation to learn from mistakes.

I’ve personally not given them a dime since their bait-and-switch and other shady tactics around the launch of Fallout 76 (I was a paying ESO customer and I cancelled because of that). So far as I know, they didn’t do anything like that for Starfield which would demonstrate some learning of lessons (unless I haven’t heard of it).

Seconded. I really miss some aspects of life before the 24-hour news cycle and social media (but definitely not everything about that time).

I was following several youtube channels about farming. I was listening to a podcast where a few of them talk. The last couple of episodes have been peeling the mask off. One was talking about watching this shitbag and then went into weird pseudoscience, and that was when the podcast and two of the three people on it lost my subscription. Sucks because their actual content related to farming, animal husbandry, and building was useful, but they don’t get my views, subs, or money if they’re going to support people like Carlson.

Same. Not sure if it’s generational, regional, or a combination of the two.

There is no verifiable proof to say there are.

Secondarily, there is no verifiable proof of intelligent life outside this planet. The timescales to travel make it unlikely that we would see any actual life and, if if there were a way around that, why the hell would they come to this place? Given this, if we did ever have anything come this way, I would bet it would be a signal or a probe rather than just something (and that something might be more machine than man, as it were,) rocking up.

Any extra-terrestrial life we find is likely to be more like single-celled organisms than any complex life, at least in our cosmic 'hood.

The boss tearing up a resignation letter is not legally binding in any way and the employee is not obliged to stay beyond the legally mandated notice period (two weeks in the vast majority of cases). There are many reasons the birth rate here isn’t going up, but that’s not one of them (though it is an example of power harassment which has recently gained more penalties and legal recognition, though there’s a ways to go on that).

I posted above, but it does not. A regular, full-time employee without any other special circumstances needs only give 2 weeks of notice (make sure to keep receipts) and the company can pound sand thereafter.

I just made a post, but it’s illegal in almost all cases. As a regular, full-time (seishain) employee out of probationary period, two weeks notice is all that is legally required and them saying ‘no’ does fuck all to change that.
