I’m not a gamer, so I had to look up the definition of a third-person shooter. It seems like very poor terminology; it’s actually a second-person shooter. There’s the player (1st) giving commands to an on-screen avatar (2nd). Where’s the 3rd person?
I’m thinking a true third-person shooter would consist of an NPC shooting at your unarmed avatar?
That’s brilliant! Now, when users replace their phone, they also have to replace a second device. Hooray for planned obsolescence!
Well, that’s the thing, isn’t it? It doesn’t matter what people say, the truth will reveal itself no matter one’s feelings about MAGA or liberals. Whatever people have said about other politicians, I’ve been watching the President’s mental state deteriorate in a manner congruent with the progression of dementia since the early signs in his first term. And, for the record, no, that doesn’t mean he’s going to be gone soon. The life expectancy after diagnosis is years; he might die before the end of his term, or (with the best care in the world) he might not. We’ll see about Schumer, too. I haven’t seen any dementia symptoms in him, but I haven’t paid any attention to him, either.
But Trump was showing early signs of dementia during his first term. He’s showing signs of rapidly-advancing dementia now. Non-dementia health claims about other politicians without evidence in no way discredit the claim that he’s visibly declining with dementia symptoms. The difference here is evidence. (And is it really an improbable that an elderly President would suffer dementia in his second term, and that his staff would try to cover it up?)
That’s weird, even by hyperbole standards. Which politicians, exactly? I’d only heard it about Biden, because Repiblicans project enough for an IMAX multiplex.
Hardly. Bill Gates came from a wealthy family, attended a private school, and through it had thousands of hours of computer programming time several years before even the Altair 8800 came out. He had a personal connection to IBM through his mother, which is how Microsoft got the DOS deal. His circumstances were unique, and his success the result of a hefty dose of luck.
Seems like Germany could save a lot.of.money by not building lanes that you’re not allowed to drive in!
That’s utterly ridiculous. If the highway has three lanes, it’s because on average there’s too much traffic for two lanes. That’s why they added a third lane. What—the left lane is for passing, the right lane is for cruising, and the middle lane is for decoration?
No, that explanation fails on the face of it. If that were the case, then why the furious opposition whenever such infrastructure is proposed?
In general, the “what’s your favorite [x]?” questions, where [x] is movie, album, game, or the like. Few people share anything about the title, or why it’s meaningful to them, and very little discussion ensues, because, what’s to talk about? It just tends to result in a list of media (most of which I’ve heard of) connected to screen names of people I don’t know. Not usually worth reading.
Sailing, because it’s dozens of hobbies in one: It’s a competitive sport either with a team or solo, or it can be a relaxing diversion, or it can be a terrifying personal challenge. It can encompass skills such as sewing, woodworking, machining, plumbing, physics, mathematics, design, navigation, radio communication, astronomy, meteorology, geography, geology, environmental sciences, electronics/electrical engineering, history, linguistics, culinary skills, and more. You can basically always be thinking about it!
C’mon, so lame. I mean, I agree with the comments saying that being obsessed with a war is dumb, but obviously the right answer would be the Thirty Years War. Far more factions, more casus belli, more fights. Plus, it bolstered German nationalism, which led pretty directly to the Great War, which led to World War II, so those are technically part of its history.
But maybe I’m biased, because my surname originated in the Huguenot diaspora?
The land-value tax is the only fair tax, after all.
I don’t have to try, since here you’re claiming that hospitals in countries with brown-skinned people are substandard and unhygienic.
Not a myth, I’ve seen it.
And she was not one of the grossest humans alive, but just had some hangups about “down there” that kept her from washing her vulva well.
And then there are people who envision all brown-skinned people as performing FGM with a piece of broken glass in a grass hut, when in fact, most instances of it are also hospital-performed medical procedures.
It’s not controversial to say that women differ sexually, right? For example, some women can orgasm from penetration alone, and others need more-direct clitoral stimulation. Everybody knows this, or should know this.
Would it be controversial to claim that, hey, perhaps men differ, too? What if we’re not exaggerating how much of a difference it makes? There are intact men right here in this discussion who say that most of their sensation comes from their foreskin, and they don’t feel much from their glans. It would destroy their enjoyment of sex to cut it off, even while many men wouldn’t notice much change, because most of their sensation comes from the glans.
id rather bust fast than not be sensitive down there
For what it’s worth, my friend tells me that in his experience, intact men have better awareness and control of their level of stimulation, and therefore last longer.
Hmm, yes, I guess I forgot about anthropology’s Out of Africa (In a Minivan) hypothesis on the origin of the human species.
Yes, try the Sonoff ZBMINIL2 device, which does exactly what you want. Wire it in the box with your existing switch, then you can control the light with either the switch, or via HA. If you have a neutral wire in the electrical box, there’s also the ZBMINIR2, which has a relay-disconnect feature. In that mode, it provides continuous power to the the bulb, and sends switch-toggle events to HA to trigger an automation to turn the smart bulb on and off.
