I gave you a star not just because I agree with your statement, but also because the Butthole Surfers rock.

Hey Ethan, just a small correction: His name is Mitsuda, not Mitasuda. I’m not super familiar with how Japanese gets romanized, but wikipedia would agree with me: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yasunori_Mitsuda

I work with neural networks for my grad degree, and there’s a group at my university who does Autonomous Driving, and you’re spot-on about these issues. And that doesn’t even mention the possibility that the driver isn’t telling the truth, or that there was a confounding factor such as a car in front of the Tesla…

Man, I’m glad the university pays for our GPU rigs for Neural Networks. Don’t worry though, this rush on GPU’s won’t stick around for long. Either the demand will falter when everyone stops going “OMG BITCOINZ” or the supply will catch up when the demand doesn’t falter.

1 & 2 was how it worked on the Blizzard CS side too. They also gave you a “welcome package” on hire that was basically every non-current game Blizzard had ever made off of consoles, like WC 3, D2, etc, along with codes for most of the modern games. Pretty sure that’s still how it works there, though I haven’t worked…

That was my senior year of high school, so I feel you.

/signed! There’s nothing wrong with shipping or writing fanfics, even erotic ones. I’ve read and written both! But it crosses the line when you start to feel so invested in your made-up headcanon that you get bothered when other people don’t see it as valid, much less getting bothered when it turns out not to be…

Wow, ok, you seem to be strawmanning me pretty hardcore here. Seems like you were probably deeply caught up in a rage bender in this thread, so hopefully now that almost a week has passed it will be easier to see that I didn’t say anything that should imply that I buy into that “fake geek girl” nonsense. There are…

I was with you until “does that dude want to talk to you?” Because for me l, and I suspect for LW1 and the poster you are replying to, that answer, by default, is no. I don’t generally assume anyone wants to have a conversation with me - I’m weird and have super nerdy interests, and most people don’t want to hear…

This really is the one bad thing in this game so far. I’m not too far into it, but I’ve died many times because I didn’t realize I was taking much damage. I’ve just gotten to the point that when I’m taking any damage, I immediately disengage and move to cover.

I’m pleased to see that people other than me are pushing back against this idea that people are supposed to randomly approach each other for conversation. Practically every one of my female friends has at least one story about a man approaching them when they were minding their own business/trying to get stuff done…

Hey Ijit...oh, I’m sorry, Ajit... Could you please do something about the fact that there’s only one choice for high speed broadband in most areas before you tell us that the only thing those companies need to do is be transparent? Cuz see, if Comcast decides it doesn’t want to allow Houstonians to access Youtube at…

I see your point. Maybe splitting your belly open with an infinitive, so that all your participles are dangling out?

“Selbstmord”

I 100% agree about calling it the Schmetterling. Nothing like getting your ass kicked by a vehicle called a “butterfly.” Also, it looks like it’s misspelled. It should be “Gepanzertes Transport-Kraftfahrzeug,” or Armored Transport Power Vehicle, basically an armored APC. There’s no such thing as an “Ahrzeug.”

You know, I never thought about not being able to smell apples before. Honestly though, it doesn’t surprise me, what with the fact that almost all US produce without a thick rind is coated in a food-grade wax. And with tomatoes, heirloom tomatoes are awesome but they don’t ship well, so regrettably the modern globe…

So, this may actually be due to a real linguistic phenomenon, a sound merger due to hypercorrection. I’m a linguist, so please pardon me - I’m about to get SUPER NERDY up in here.

Minor nitpick - Austin didn’t ban Uber. It enacted ordinances requiring that rideshare drivers undergo a more extensive background check and be fingerprinted. Uber didn’t like this, ran a multi-million dollar campaign against it, then chose to leave when the ordinance passed instead of complying. Then, our…

Good on you for keeping your name then! I wouldn’t blame you for ditching it, of course, but our names are tied to our histories, and while every family has some bad in it, it’s understandable and reasonable to not want to abandon the good history because of the bad.

I think, if they had been engaged in an activity that had a reasonable expectation of anonymity, then exposing them wouldn’t be ok, but this was a public march. As long as we aren’t fully doxxing them, by which I mean publishing their addresses etc and encouraging individuals implicitly to harass them, then exposing…
