Cid Vicious

The first time I went to Japan was during this period and a lot of the bars were specifically hiring black men to stand outside and get people to come in.

American music gets around a lot so generally music genres that are popular in the US will spread all over to some degree. I think country is kind of the exception there.

Basically a game that is continuously updated with new content. Lots of different models of it from MMOs to Fortnite to Diablo IV. Many of them are free to play with lots of microtransactions. They usually feature things like seasons and battle passes and loot boxes. They’re almost always heavily monetized. The competition in the “genre” is incredibly fierce since most people probably only play a handful of them and friend groups usually all want to be on the same game. It’s very hard to break into. Sony announced that they were making a big investment into the area a few years ago and news has been trickling out since that most of them have been canceled.

Yeah uh deflation is actually considered very bad, not sure where people are getting this expectation from.

Exactly my first thought seeing this graph.

I’m sure that they’ll have a billion models with more color

The new 3ds was very confusing too

I think the expectation is that the rails are magnetized. There were a lot of reports saying that they were expected to use that technology.

? It’s never seemed notably low to me. Also I think they want it to be usable sideways

Investors are every bit as vulnerable to hype, marketing, and just plain poor understanding of tech as the general public is.

It doesn’t really matter what they call it. Companies that want to be waterfall (or more accurately, whose executives want waterfall style commitments) are going to be waterfall even if they call it Scrum.

I would assume that’s summation mode, so everything you enter is treated as a running total. This looks like a business calculator.

Rock, paper? …ohhhhhhhhhh.

Bake my own bread and freeze it all the time. It’s fine in the short term, and fine for much longer term if you vacuum seal. Bread that’s not loaded with preservatives goes bad in a matter of days otherwise, so freezing is just practical.

I don’t think you have any concept of the size of the burning area or the intense weather conditions in the western US. Months of drought conditions then 90mph wind gusts. Once a blaze is going it will jump all over the place due to the wind, making it virtually impossible to contain until the winds start to subside. Cleaning out underbrush can help, but with winds that high fires will jump directly from tree to tree. Some of these fires only took one spark to start. And the conditions will only grow more intense as climate change continues. This is not a problem that’s easy to solve.

Their games on PC still seem to be selling pretty well.

Been trying to do more reading before bed. I think avoiding backlit screens helps me transition to sleep more easily. I really recommend an eInk based ereader to anyone who likes reading but hasn’t tried one.

And even after this you might want to manually stop the sealer before it puts too much pressure on. Bread is surprisingly squishy because it’s mostly air.

Huh I never type in portrait if I can help it, my thumbs are way too big for it. Landscape any time I’m typing and even then I wish I could make the keyboard bigger without losing visibility to what I’m typing/replying to. I also don’t swipe type, have never really liked it.

There’s a bug dating back to October that made Heliboard unusable for me, because it cuts off half of the keyboard in landscape. Looks like it just got fixed but hasn’t been rolled out yet. Meanwhile heliboard is just really bad about learning new words (tends to think capitalized words are a different word and adds them to the dictionary when you start a sentence with them, can’t seem to handle autocorrecting to a word with an apostrophe). I gave up on it and went back to Gboard and I don’t think I’m going back. Honestly I’m real frustrated with the state of android keyboards right now. Swiftkey used to be awesome but MS ruined it. Gboard is better than it used to be but it barely has an options for customizing it. I don’t know anything better.

Not sure I understand why you would want that. But more options for gboard would always be good.
