Me neither.

Makes sense though. If the reentry is botched you're essentially aiming a ~300lb projectile (or a bunch of tinier projectiles) in this case at who knows what at terminal velocity.

Launches at least control where the thing leaves from and are designed to fallout over non inhabited areas in the event of a botched takeoff.

I put my university, the years I attended, and my major and minor focus of study.

It's not a lie, and if pressed, I always tell the truth. It's become a non issue as my professional experience has mounted and now my resume and references speak for itself.

But, unless I'm asked directly...

Nobody needs to know I dropped out first semester of my senior year due to a crippling drug addiction. Or as I phrase it, a period in my life where I needed to tend to a family medical emergency.

No fucking clue myself but isn't airdrop an iPhone thing?

It would be useful if you live in the United States, or any of the dozens of countries that use the system either as a standalone measurement of temperature or as part of a dual system. The British Virgin Islands, Antigua, Barbuda, the Bahamas... Etc.

I find it actually kind of a fun way to start a conversation with anyone outside of the U.S. by attempting to convert my local weather to Celsius. I'm on international calls fairly regularly and (can't blame anyone for this) telling anyone outside the US or the countries above the temperature in fahrenheit is like speaking a foreign language.

Just to put the in context, you would need to play every single day for roughly 6.8 hours in order to rack up 2500 hours in a year.

To further contextualize, in the U.S. a full time job, that is a job wherein one works a combination of days each week (typically 5 8-hour days but sometimes 4 10-hour days) is around 40 hours each week, or 2080 hours a year.

The typical worker also takes vacation, sick days, etc equaling between 1-3 weeks each year. Meaning they may not even work an actual 2000 hours each year due to time off.

So you are putting in more time to WoW each year than the typical full time worker is to their job.

And you still have time for other games.

Omg I'm not a crackhead but I did enjoy hitting the ski slopes in my 20s and I knew exactly what you meant right away

I am also definitely not crying

100% agree although my fancy pants Garmin scale is absolute shit at measuring body fat. Could be there are better but I'll stick to the caliper test myself.

This cycle is what I go through every time I start working out again. For at least a few months, whatever weight I started with is where I'm more or less going to stay but it gets redistributed to places that aren't my stomach and neck so I ultimately look and feel a lot better even though the scale would argue I haven't done shit at all.

It's this plus uptime. Both come down to usability. Nobody wants to use a product that is confusing or unreliable.

Days gone was an absolute banger.

I also bought it on a steam sale, and then let it sit for several months.

Well, more accurately I bought it, downloaded it, installed it, and then spent hours trying to get it past the boot screen without crashing. Finally fixed the issue. Spent the next hour or so posting the issue fix to various forums unlike the last 500 assholes who fixed their issue and then fucked off.

Then I played about half the game and got burned out.

Sat it down for about two months and when I picked it back up I couldn't put it down again.

Had the same experiences with ghost of Tsushima, and last of us.
