Does “activist group” not have soulseek? smh

Honestly thou i don’t really know what a spotify is, sounds like a dogging app.

Can Keanu Reeves pass the reverse turing test?

Because it’s not actually “half life three”. It’s (half life)^3. One of the hardware constraints is that has to be played on something cubic.

It’ll depend on the futures contracts. They’ll have price clauses and, get-out clauses , resale clauses and stuff, so it’ll come down to lawyering.

It’s unlikely that journos know the contract details. Buy clearly any OEM without a futures contract already in place does not have access to low prices.

And any OEM with cheap stock and contractual freedom to resell would seriously consider parting out and selling off stock at the windfall price.

Yep, lots of regulation, not necessarily even socialist stuff , some of it was just prudent financial system management. Glass-Steagall for example and bretton-woods and stuff that limited limited power and sought to tame some animal spirits.

Yeah, TIL I am not people.

i think i can blame fucking shitty it jargon, and the pricks that use it to “disrupt” perfectly functional services, feather their nests, then fuck off 18 months later to spew a new batch of jargon at a new set of victims. d i dont think you can stop me.And i will. an

Give me some functional understanding and insight and i’ll listen. give me dumb fuck jargon; fuck right off.

I think many brewers use agar now which comes from seaweed or something. Prices in homebrew shops seem similar to isinglass. I’d guess the agar price in bulk may be more stable with less dependency on fish stocks.

I don’t notice any difference in taste. The isinglass/agar is just for clarifying, it’s not in the final product in more than trace amounts. But any type of clarifying can change taste based on what and how much flavour it removes.

I never noticed the difference personally. guiness has never been a very flavorful stout anyway though, it’s more about the creaminess and that its available when there’s nothing other than lager.

Lots of trendy modern ales go ‘unfined’ (cloudy) to preserve all flavours.

I’ve worked at least 5 different places where they use this shitty jargon.

ok, let me know when the bailiffs come round and start repossessing homes whose owners didn’t service their ‘technical debt’.

You cannot “ignore debt” or prioritize one debt-service-obligation over another; it is an obligation to repay, you go bankrupt or get liquidated if you do not service all of it, that’s it.

People like to use debt as a metaphor because of the serious and very real consequences of failing to make repayments. From a corpo perspective the difference between debt vs equity difference is so important essentially because of the legal standing of the creditors. That’s why you must service debt before profits, and even any elective opex.

When people (incompetent IT morons) use that phrase at my work, it has nothing to dop with any of that. They use it as a phrase to ignore critical maintenandebtce. and the consequences are higher opex in future, not insolvency or total failure. The people who lose out have no standing and no legal recourse. It’s far closer to paying dividend to equity (or not in this case) - if the profits aren’t there there’s nothing the equity holders can really do to force a dividend.

It’s not anything close to “debt” though, fucking moronic IT jargon. It’s probably more like maintenance opex that someone doesn’t want to bother with. Or an old standard that someone doesn’t know how to comply with or doesn’t want to because they heard that the new one is “better”.

Neglectful asset management and poor maintenance is not going to force anyone into involuntary liquidation. That’s always a matter between the borrower and the lender. In the scenario above you have to borrow money at step 1, then suffer a revenue loss at step 3 before the loan was paid off.

I think it’s often a combination of the two. The most flood prone areas near me are the hilly mountainous areas where it can rain a lot. The floods typically happen after longish periods of heavy rainfall.

The point about topography is valid but floods are often triggered by rainfall, at least as the immediate precursor.

From a human perspective they’re both extreme weather events, that can cutoff communities and are dangerous. Snow drifts will form by a combination of topography and wind.

Why is stupid bad?

Hang on a minute; “order”, what’s the scenario? restaurant?

[The Guide’s] editors, having to meet a publishing deadline, copied [some] information off the back of a packet of breakfast cereal, hastily embroidering it with a few footnotes in order to avoid prosecution under the incomprehensibly torturous Galactic Copyright Laws. It’s interesting to note that a later and wilier editor sent the book backwards in time, through a temporal warp, and then successfully sued the breakfast cereal company for infringement of the very same laws.

I thought the rebuttal to this was covered in ‘The Thirteenth Floor’. They don’t have to simulate the entire universe, and it doesn’t have to be consistent. Just the parts that the PCs are looking at.

I’m not even going to mention what tricks they can do with the rewind button.

Anyways this paper was likely written by an NPC.

Pop a poppler in your mouth when you come to Fishy Joe’s. What they’re made of is a mystery. Where they come from no one knows. You can pick 'em, you can lick em, you can chew 'em, you can stick 'em; if you promise not to sue us, you can shove one up your nose.
