Yeah, this photo was actually one of the things that he credits with helping him get clean. Because this was basically rock bottom for him, and seeing this photo in tabloids was a large part of what made him realize how bad his addiction truly was.
He did the same thing that a lot of addicts do, and basically did a full 180 into health and fitness instead. Basically replaced the drug high with a workout high.
Hah, I distinctly remember the first time I discovered the pressure sensitivity in MGS 3. I was hiding inside of a locker, and pressed a button to lean towards the grate and peek out. I lightly pressed it, and Snake barely leaned at all. I couldn’t really see what I needed to. So I mashed it harder. But I pressed it so hard that Snake slammed his face into the metal locker door with an audible thud. The noise alerted the guard and I was caught.
The fact that they even thought to program in a “slam face into whatever you’re peeking out of” mechanic has me rolling now that I’m thinking about it. It really is peak Kojima.
It’s basically this meme in another format:
The em dashes always give it away tbh. Anything “coded” by this user would 100% be slop. If they can’t even be bothered to think of a pitch for it, why would they think of the code?
I guess we doin lean now
I used Google Timeline to prove I was at work one time. This was back when I was freelancing. My client tried to say I was stealing time, because I had an off-site meeting that ran long. They were threatening to withhold a few hours of pay, even though I was at the worksite the entire time. I pulled up my timeline and used it to prove that I was, in fact, at the meeting site for an extra few hours. Being able to de-Google that functionality has a lot of value to certain people.
My partner is a clutz, and I always joke that her Coffee Table Detector (little toe) is working great. It always earns me a death stare while she’s reeling, but being momentarily pissed at me is usually pretty effective at distracting her from the fact that her toe hurts.
Hah, yup. In my head, I stupidly went “Milli is 10-3 so micro is 10-4.” Somehow completely skipping that “micro” means “million”. Regardless, the rest of the post is correct because I wasn’t using 5 grams as the basis for anything else.
It depends on how you’re doing it, (and how it was stored, because the molecule is pretty fragile and breaks down easily) but typically a single hit would be in the ballpark of 90-110 micrograms. So 500x would be about 0.05 grams. Which is a truly astronomical amount of LSD. Probably not the highest ever recorded, (that honor goes to a couple of idiots who thought it was cocaine and snorted it), but still a mind-meltingly high amount.
That highest dosage (while technically unknown, because we only have the ER reports when they showed up completely comatose) is estimated that they had somewhere between 1000 to 2100 hits each. And they survived. So at least Toad isn’t in danger of OD’ing.
That’s actually surprising, because lots of admins end up lumping the entire anarchist block of instances together.
Piefed has a built-in blocklist that is controllled by the dev. db0 is on that hardcoded list, after the db0 admin called out the dev for something. So the answer to OP’s question is a resounding “yes, piefed is blocking them” but I think my instance is also on that list. So they won’t be able to see this comment.
HoS is a phenomenal piece of DLC that you’re supposed to play alongside the main story. It has a truly fantastic villain. BaW is a nice capstone for Geralt’s story, which takes place after the events of the main story.
I tend to fall into the “DLC is bad” camp, but both W3 expansions are perfect examples of how DLC can be good. I tend to dislike DLC because it tends to break (at least) one of the following criteria:
The base game is already complete, and doesn’t require the DLC for a full experience.
The DLC meshes neatly within the base game without feeling bolted onto the side.
The DLC adds genuinely interesting content to the game.
All three critera are what I would typically complain about with DLC, and Witcher 3’s DLC passes all three litmus tests. So any complaints I would have about them would essentially boil down to personal preference rather than objective reasons.
Nah, I’ve been stabbed and shot. Getting shot was way worse.
I was stabbed while fighting some white supes who were trying to take over a bar. My buddy was working as a bouncer so we were there to hang out. It was winter so we all had big puffy coats on while we hung out at the front of the bar. He had some skinheads show up and try to get in. He started to bounce them, they pushed back, and suddenly they realized that everyone outside of the bar were his friends. We got into a tussle, and the six of us kicked the shit out of the five of them.
But afterwards, when the ambulances were parked outside, my buddy was like “hey uhh… You should go talk to the EMTs now.” I had a pocket knife sticking out of my shoulder, punched through my coat. I casually strolled over and was like “hey, is this… A problem?” Two of the EMTs immediately broke away from two of the skinheads to work on me instead. It sucked after, for sure. But at the time, I didn’t really feel it. My biggest concern in the moment was the fact that they cut my favorite coat to get it off of me. Having my arm in a sling was honestly the worst part about it, because it was on my good side. So I had to learn to do a lot of stuff with my bad hand, because my good arm was strapped to my torso.
Then I got shot (in the ass cheek, of all places) while being mugged outside of a music festival. I don’t even think he meant to shoot me; I think he was just an idiot. I remember the gun going off as my back was half-turned to him, (which is how he hit my ass cheek) then him cursing and taking off in the opposite direction. That one felt like a white-hot muscle cramp. Like the worst muscle cramp you’ve ever had, combined with a super over-exerted muscle burn like you just did a massive workout. Ever had a kidney stone? Sort of like that. Docs said I was lucky he didn’t hit my hip bone, because that would have been crippling at least, potentially even fatal. I still have a massive scar on my ass from where it tracked all the way across my ass.
Given, the adrenaline probably played a large part in why I didn’t feel the knife. But I had plenty of adrenaline while being mugged too, and I sure as shit felt that bullet. But yeah, insurance denying meds is definitely an issue. For my gunshot, they refused my pain meds. So I suffered through that entire recovery period with just ibuprofen, Tylenol, and weed. Ironically, they approved the meds for my stabbing without a second thought. And the stabbing hurt way less, even without any pain meds.
Yeah, pretty much. A large part of what made the face-pie so effective was simply the “we can still touch you” reminder. It’s a powerful message, because it reminds them that their bodyguards only need to fail once. It’s the old “you need to protect yourself every time, we only need to touch you once” thing. Which is why they’ve captured the courts and police, to deter attacks even when they aren’t under constant protection.
They make sprung flip-top covers specifically for this reason. It’s just a little adhesive square/circle that you stick over the power/reset button, and it has a flip-top that automatically springs closed again.
I mean, would you want it to serve clients outside of your subnet? I guess maybe if you had something like a guest network. But I tend to take the “fuck it, you get basic service and nothing else” approach to things like guest networks.
Isn’t it a potential security issue to have your pihole serve things on any subnet, because it allows an improperly configured firewall to stab at your pihole? I think you can specify any additional subnets it will serve in the settings somewhere. But IIRC, the default behavior is to intentionally drop traffic from unknown subnets. But that’s just off the top of my head.
There’s a reason truckers call RV drivers “fucking terrorists”. You can legally drive an RV without a commercial license, even though it’s the size of a goddamned bus. Which means you never received training on how to avoid things like “sucking cyclists under your vehicle with your wake”.
Japan actually made me laugh, simply because the entire country somehow walked all the way around to the other side of the continent.
Red Dead Online players: You mean cheating isn’t the expectation?
Seriously though, RDO had the single worst cheating problem I ever encountered. To the point that the multiplayer was downright unplayable unless you had cheats of your own. People would constantly troll with full-map aimbots, combined with infinite explosive ammo and no reloads. You log in, and your character is immediately taking an explosive bullet to the face on every single frame.
You start in a campsite where you can’t be damaged, but the sheer amount of explosions and particles being forcibly rendered are enough to make lower-end systems immediately lag. And as soon as you step outside of camp, you’ll take damage from those explosive rounds and immediately die. So at the very least, a godmode cheat is necessary just to be able to play the game without instantly dying.
