1 fl oz (volume) of water weighs about 1 oz (weight). It varies depending on a bunch of stuff, ya know, cause imperial sucks, but I believe the standard rate is 1 fl oz weighs about 1.043 oz. So assuming beer has similar density as water, 22 fl oz would weigh somewhere around 23 oz.

(Some Google searches show that some definitions of fl oz has it as 1 fl oz = 30 ml exactly, but I’m starting to confuse myself and you know how infuriating imperial is.)

I don’t think that’s necessarily true. Water will reach its own level so to speak, if a developer releases a game that is far too much for a majority of gamers to run, those gamers won’t buy the game and it won’t sell. Obviously that also isn’t always necessarily true, but enough terribly optimized games have released recently to be met with 40% rating on Steam that I’d like to think this is the case. Are some developers going to do it anyway? Absolutely, but that’s true regardless. I think that no matter what, indie developers will always tend to keep their games lightweight either by principle or by design necessity, and bigger game studios would also sorta get the message and keep their games reasonable. With obvious exceptions… goddamn 400 GB games these days.

I think it goes both ways. Sports fans, clueless to the eSports scene, might say, “what’s the fun in watching someone play video games when you could just play them?” And I could say the same, and indeed I regularly say as much: “why watch someone play basketball, let’s just go play a pickup game.”

I don’t watch sports or esports, nor do I watch streamers very often, but I understand in all aspects that it’s for the entertainment value. In picking a team/player, watching their improvement, attending their games, proudly sporting their merch, etc etc.

I guess what I’m trying to say is, don’t let a clueless nobody disparage you doing what you enjoy.

return to your roots: use notepad

Naive, perhaps, but if a company advertises a service, they better fucking deliver on that service. Sure, I wouldn’t store all of my important documents solely on a cloud service either, but let’s not victim blame the guy here who paid for a service and was not given that service. Google’s Enterprise plan promised unlimited data; whether that’s 10 GB or 200 TB, that’s not for us nor Google to judge. Unlimited means unlimited. And in an article linked in the OP, even customer service seemed to assure them that it was indeed unlimited, with no cap. And then pulled the rug.

And on top of that, according to the article, Google emailed them saying their account would be in “read-only” mode, as in, they could download the files but not upload any. Which is fine enough-- until Google contacted them saying they were using too much space and their files would all be deleted. Space that, again, was originally unlimited.

Judge the guy all you want, but don’t blame him. Fuck Google, full stop.

Not that I don’t believe you, but do you have a source for that?

If you go during non-peak days and have a general game plan, it’s not that bad. You can get a good amount of ride time going if you time your Fastpasses (they’re free) good enough.

The pricetag, though, that’s on you to decide. I like going, but I wouldn’t go more than, like, once… a decade.

I think it falls into the same pitfalls as most super niche communities, like a lot of subreddits did.

For example, the shaving subreddit (/r/wicked_edge I think?). Its mission statement was to introduce people to cleaner, safer, and more efficient shaving methods. And for the most part, with all of its resources and wikis, it successfully did it. But if you choose to stay after you’ve made your informed purchases, the posts were mostly braggarts showing off their latest hundreds-of-dollars handles, supreme razor blades, brushes made from actual gold, that sort of thing. My point is, the average person (by my guess, like 90% of people going to the site) gets the information they need and then never participate in the community again. But those who stay are those who really want to stay– people who are most likely to brag and boast. So over time, it falls more and more into plain old dick measuring contests.

This obviously isn’t true of all communities, but I think it’s a common pitfall for a lot of them. I can imagine privacy is very similar: take all the steps you can to learn to protect your privacy, and then… you’re good, for the most part.

This didn’t read like an ad at all. I don’t think the company would want to push the fact that they can generate a burning world trade center or epstein’s island.

This is all absurd, obviously, but:

The new subscription can be stacked with a Plus, Gold or Platinum subscription for access to more features, the company notes.

$499 and you don’t even get everything there is to get? You still have to pay for more? What in the fuck?

…elaborate?

I don’t 100% understand LPPL, but I believe it qualifies under open source, but regardless if it’s open source or not, LaTeX > Word and I will die on this hill.

I’ve seen that a couple times before, I think something just didn’t federate properly.

Right now, I’m looking at the Galaxy Xcover6. It’s the only phone on the market besides the Fairphone that has 5g support, removable battery, and expandable storage through a MicroSD slot. The downsides are that it doesn’t support wireless charging (not a deal breaker for me), and it obviously doesn’t have call screening. I’m teeter tottering right now, but I’m still mulling it over. I’m sure if I wait another year there will surely be another phone that checks these boxes, but as I’m sure you know, the 3A is starting to give out on me. Remains to be seen what I’ll do.

The Pixel 3A is the best phone I’ve ever had, and I’m sad to be switching to a different company with my next phone. Being said, I’ve heard about the problems with newer Pixels, so I suppose I’m not too bummed out about switching. Still, gonna miss Call Screening.

I’m so incredibly fed up with freebooters, but what can one man do really?

You gotta learn to read buddy, it says “sisyphus”, you know, that piece of paper you get on the first day of class.

I mean, it’s not not a cutting board.
