Well they’d be in just as bad a situation if no one ordered at all for a week. Theyre without income either way. I honestly think its better for doordash and ubereats drivers if people still order in poor weather. Pizza places on the other hand where the driver may at least be making some sort of flat rate, they may just prefer to sit there all shift with no orders.
I mean theres nothing that unsafe about the roads in the picture. Thats like regular for a lot of places and people don’t just stop living. I worked as a delivery driver and had to drive in way worse conditions, whats shown wouldnt even have registered as a hazard at all.
I had a vm running in 2007 or 2008, but regardless she didnt even need windows for her classes. She just couldn’t figure out how to get her internet set up and could’ve just called verizon. Totally helpless and probably would have been thrown the first time she ran into a problem with windows as well.
Why couldnt she just install windows? Or use a virtual machine? How is her only option dropping out? It seems like she lacked even basic planning and problem solving skills and if it wasnt this that made her give up it would’ve been something else.
Well done edgy humor always has its place. Its always sunny is plenty edgy, moreso than anything mainstream from any time prior, and extremely popular. The problem with people who make those comments is they could have NEVER made anything good, theyre uncreative and unthinking, and so they get locked into an outdated mentality and their humor never develops past whatever they found funny in their formative years. Because some things are edgy AND good they mistake being edgy for automatically being good.
I imagine most things would become a service barter situation. Like you make me a great meal and ill give you a massage. Or whatever. People would be pretty confined to a particular region if theyre returned there at the start of every reset, so you’d probably have a build up of a sort of reputation economy. Probably mass marketplaces would form up where people could trade ‘favors’. There’d probably be a new occupation that crops up where someone keeps track of credits and exchanges them, but any kind of physical currency would be useless. But if you wanted a service from a particular person who didnt want anything you could ogger, you’d need some sort of middleman to vouch for you or things could get complicated fast.
I mean people would just adjust to the new time patterns. In every time loop story, people try staying awake past the reset and usually it just resets regardless of whether they’re asleep or not. The exception i can think of being palm springs, where they only reset once they fall asleep or die. But if the reset happens at a constant time for everyone, everyone would just adapt. Day and night already barely matter now that we have electric lighting and instantaneous communication. ‘Days’ would just start at the reset, and either last until the next reset, or 8 hours before it happens, or whatever the equilibrium ends up being. Maybe sleep would stop being necessary for most people altogether, if their bodies’ clocks reset along with everything else. That could be kind of interesting.

Although considered informal, anyways is not wrong. In fact, there is much precedent in English for the adverbial -s suffix, which was common in Old and Middle English and survives today in words such as towards, once, always, and unawares. But while these words survive from a period of English in which the adverbial -s was common, anyways is a modern construction (though it is now several centuries old).
I dont get the hate for the lcd at all. I never have my brightness maxed out. I guess if youre like obsessed with HDR or something, but otherwise im perfectly happy with the lower price of the lcs, especially since i got it on sale when the OLED first released.
When i dump the detergent in i also dump a cupful of dirt in there too, just to make the machine work harder. That way the clothes come out cleaner.
In VLC theres also a setting to increase/decrease the subtitle delay. Theres a set of hotkeys to move it up/down by 50ms at a time, or you can go into the settings and enter a custom valur. Sometimes this doesnt work for a whole movie as the subtitles will just keep getting more and more out of sync, but if theyre just behind or ahead by a little bit consistently, then its a huge sanity saver.
I have a feeling OP’s “friends” wont necessarily even be aware hes connected the device to their network. It sounds to me like he wants something he can hide places to take advantage of unsecured or public networks without having to sit there with his laptop doing whatever shady shit he has planned.
The conspiracist in me wonders if this is intentional as the result of a deal with other publishers. Maybe its just that ‘the devs didnt get around to it’ but honestly with how simple it should be to release things on GOG i more wonder if it isnt suppression.
Yeah that’s fair, and im not defending the practice, it just made me think of some games that Ive seen that have multiple executables, usually with an inbuilt launcher that i have to bypass. Or when games used to come with a dx11 and dx12 executable. Personally i find that in itself super sloppy and annoying as well, but it makes a kind of lazy sense to just apply it to all the game files, in that its just one less thing to have to change if you make an alteration to the name of the executable file or add a new executable for whatever reason. Just one less possible failure point. But yeah I can see how its definitely not best practice.
No im saying theres no such thing as a “GOG” version afaik. Its just the game files. What features differentiate a ‘GOG’ version from the same game acquired anywhere else? Their whole business model is offering games without any DRM or storefront added features, you dont even need to use their launcher, you can just download the game files directly. Whereas ‘Steam’ versions have all sorts of code added to be compatible with Steam.
What exactly is the distinction between acting tactically and strategically? This doesnt even make sense.
I mean i assume thats just easier to deal with updates where a game has multiple exe files that may or may not change names. Assuming everything in the directory is assumed to be safe, is there any downside to applying it to everything, aside from opening up the possibility of a user accidentally trying to execute like a texture file or something which I assume just wouldnt work? I actually don’t know and im curious.
How would a game “not work” on GOG? isnt their whole thing that they give you just the game files with no DRM or whatever?
I’m not your friend, guy.
Thats literally what i said, if youre gonna order, order from ubereats or doordash where they can refuse to take orders, so if someone is working they must be really desperate and unable to go without the income. At least theyre making the choice for themselves. Dont order from a pizza place because although they might still have to work, they’ll at least be making a wage if theres no orders and just get to kick back. I personally barely order delivery anyway.
