There are lots of things to physically fight back over, but video games ain’t one of them.

Ew, swapping out real sugar for high fructose corn syrup.

In the US it’s by serving size, which is a non-consistent unit of measurement. They are supposed to say how many mL one serving is, however. But that leaves you to do all the math yourself.

If precedent still mattered, that would be comforting.

That’s easy. Constitutionally, you can’t be President longer than 2 terms. Wartime emergency powers can stop elections, cementing power permanently.

Depends on if you’re in a red or blue state.

I’d say power creep in Pokemon might even be worse than in Magic. Looking at old cards vs new cards makes it painfully obvious.

I was both mistaken and correct.

I say mistaken because here’s what I was thinking: mealworms have been known to metabolize polystyrene for a long time:

I say correct because there is also active work on tailoring BSF larvae to do the same thing:

As far as plastics go, at least it can decompose. Black soldierfly larvae can eat it!

If you have dependents and live in a city, each day might be more like $500.

I dig the meme, but not the fact it’s AI generated.

The problem is that a reduction in trust correlates to a reduction in users. A reduction in Firefox increases Chromium’s dominance on the web, which is a near monopoly already. A monopoly on web renderers in turn is bad for open web standards.

Generally only for small problems. Like things lower than 300 lines of code. And the problem generally can’t be a novel problem.

But that’s still pretty damn impressive for a machine.

I don’t think this is advice as much as it is a story. The advice is “find a better life, whatever that life is.”

Citation for there never being a Steam Deck 2?

Because the interview at CES 2025 heavily implied it: https://youtu.be/UI-C-nZnDE8?t=525

Blood from crushed orphans is up 300% this year! 📈

People in the US kind of lump marble/quartz in with granite as one category. The alternative would be laminate countertops, which are awful.

Being a shitty person is multidisciplinary, apparently.

You’re trying to incorrectly put words in scientist’s mouths here.

They did not say that a person should not have children.

They merely said that on average, people who don’t have children are happier.

If people could accidentally find themselves trapped in a heavy metal concert, (just like people accidentally find themselves stuck being parents), you’d find a similar conclusion - people who don’t go to heavy metal concerts are happier. But it turns out that concerts are elective, so the effect is unlikely to be present in real life for concerts.

This has nothing to do with the “goodness“ of concerts or parenthood - both of them are awesome when the people doing them chose to do it!

No, but I do believe that complex issues with many factors can be boiled down into simpler averages. Besides, “stress” is just as multifaceted of an issue as anything else! It implies nothing about the root causes.

Moreover, this research article did not say “if you have kids, you will be miserable”. That is a personal choice you should make for personal reasons. Some people are happier with kids! But it’s also true that childless adults are on average happier.
