Yeah but then you have to watch it and think about it versus I press a button and it comes out perfect every time lol

Man, I dip it in ketchup like a literal toddler.

They managed to patent the concept of capacitive buttons in a plastic case, for fucks sake. The whole patent system is broken beyond repair…

That makes it 142/433 where the shooter was shot by a “good guy with a gun”. Hardly a great figure either way…

An app “talks” to server through some interface (what they call an API). If the interface is known, another app can use the same interface. Telegram goes as far as providing code that interfaces with their protocol and full API documentation to explain how to use it. The base app is open source too, so developers can even peek at how the official app does it for inspiration.

It was self-fulfilling for me. I started self-hosting and messing with networking before I went into IT. I thought I’d be in a very different field until ~10 years ago.

As a general rule, I tend to focus on a title or a series of {books,tv,movies,games,musician,etc}, consume it to death over the course of a handful of weeks/months, then lose interest and never touch it ever again.

I had a big Soulslike phase in the middle of the pandemic. Before that it was Rocket League. I’ve gamed very little these last months in between a million consecutive life events, but the little time I had to play was almost exclusively on Monster Hunter (I just reached Iceborne in MHW).

The one game I had a legitimately problematic relationship with was Counter Strike, as a teen and young adult. Nowadays, I still have the general game sense but the reflexes and skills are long gone, and I don’t have the time to dedicate to getting to a level I’d feel good at.

The newest Teams app (and I think newest Outlook amongst others) is using system/Edge provided WebViews rather than Electron, which I guess takes care of the “each app gets its own Chrome instance” part of the Electron bloat. It’s so far running better than old Teams for me. On my old work laptop, the fans spun up the second the old Teams client launched lol

This is how I see it too. His intentions were pure - he wanted the ring’s power to save Gondor. The Ring corrupted and exploited those desires. In the books, we know his immediate thoughts were for the people of Gondor and the hobbits he felt like he failed, and he gave his life to defend their escape.

They were both pretty popular 10+ years ago, so you may have been old for a while. Or you just don’t watch Marvel stuff and/or other more recent fantasy TV lol

Deborah Ann Woll played in True Blood, then was cast into the Marvel universe through Daredevil, then Punisher. Bernthal played Punisher in the series of the same name, and in The Walking Dead before that.

they’re not heavy enough to sweat in

This sounds like a challenge my body would lose. I just sweat all the time, regardless of the temperature or level of physical activity.
