To be fair, given the snow indicating a cold environment, there’s no indication the contents of the pot are warmer than room temperature.

I prefer complaining and screaming loudly while ‘barely surviving’.

I guess you’re right in the sense that neither could play audio off drivers packaged with install media in that era.

Dead silent moonlit landscapes are just incredible.

Dry is key, wet and cold winters are awful. Like -6C to -17C is perfect. -6C is practically t-shirt weather. Anything between-3C and 5C (27F-41F) is just misery.

Living somewhere that the snow stays powdery and it’s -10C on average for 4 months of the winter is awesome!

Northern summers are all bangers, except the mosquitos and midges…

Why a cabin? Gloves and an axe will do fine.

It was probably the most inexplicable addition to the Matrix franchise. Like, we get it, you’re stuckin a terminal, a place of transition, yada yada… Just break the egg and get on with it.

Me pressing the reset button…

To be fair the train equivalent of windows would crash either way.

Something like

int *a = new int(10)

Int*b = null

While *b !=10 { b = rand(); a=new int(10)}

Return *b

I haven’t coded recently enough in c/c++ to remember syntax but the concept might work eventually if you’re lucky and have enough memory… Might need a time variant seed on the rand()…

I also knew MANY kids who were whisked off to Iraq and Afghanistan to partake in human meat grinding…

The labor cost though, it’s at an all time lo… Wait no that’s gone up… What are they even doing?

Something like business metrics being measured in board salary $/frame-hour?

Lmao. Ill add to the evidence pile 🤣

It’s in you’re contract how much they’ll pay out for this. $50-$100k is common. After that it’s on you. But you’re right in the sense that law suits often happen to seek this amount.

if you say yes, then they don’t bother giving you the test.

Willing to bet if they’d do it otherwise then it’s the insurance companies determining policy here to save cost.

Yeah you caught it in the edit 😁

That’s still a physical sound even if the source is internal or at the sensor.

“Non-physical sound” would necessarily be errant nerve signaling or hallucination, something on the brain side of the sensor.

Seriously don’t be a dick, just absurdly relevant.

Simple compliments help a lot too. "Nice work!“ or whatever can really make sometimes day!

Couldn’t be me talking from personal experience 🫠

Yeah it’s definitely not a monolith. There were always those cis-hating types of spaces around and that’s just counterproductive. Luckily my experience is in the “let’s figure it or together” types of spaces which are far and away the majority. But everyone remembers the most irritating voice which is often also the loudest.

I think there’s also a phase a lot of people go through in their journey where they feel a need to over-express their new identity. That can lead to social growing pains.
