I think “miscategorized” might be the wrong term, because the word is more of an opinion. At one point in time the term referred to what we’d now consider fairly mundane buildings.

Possibly, but they could also be trying to instigate a fight. If they do then they can declare martial law and do things like suspending elections.

Millennials are in their 30s. I don’t think it’s due to palates not having developed. I think it’s more to due with just using a more diverse set of condements. I don’t dislike mayo (though I do despise Miricle Whip), but I don’t use it very often. I tend to go for other flavors. If anything, I think it’s the older generations who have an undeveloped palate. They tend to eat a much smaller variety of flavors/styles.

It’s about national security. They don’t want to risk using something that they don’t control for the same reason the US doesn’t want to risk using something they don’t control. It’s why Intel probably can’t fail. If Intel goes down then the US doesn’t have a strong native CPU producer.

How the fuck do you win that lawsuit? I really want to hear their arguments.

I don’t think they got rid of it or made it slower. They did introduce a bug where you randomly stop when sliding IIRC. They’ve “fixed” this bug multiple times now, but it never actually fixed it. It could be actually fixed now for all I know, but I remember hearing that surf in CS2 is practically dead because it’s bugged.

… CS2 doesn’t have destructible environments, it doesn’t have vehicles, it doesn’t have any innovation at all other than being more like a slot machine than the last Counter Strike which was basically the same as the Counter Strike before it.

Honestly, I think that’s part of why it has lasted so long. None of what you listed are necessarily better. They’re just flashy. They would ruin the design of the game though. CS could have vehicles, and some custom maps did, but it doesn’t work to improve the game so it never became a part of the primary game.

The need to always do something flashy and new I think is a reason why so many modern FPSs suck. They don’t understand their game and ruin it with features that don’t improve it.

I say all this while my primary game for ~2 years is The Finals. It’s easily the most innovative shooter I’ve played in a decade or more. It has the best destruction I’ve seen in a game ever. However, they understood how it work with their game. They didn’t just do it to advertise it as a feature without it adding anything. It actively combines with the other parts of the game to make one cohesive thing.

My understanding is there’s currently a bug with surfing in CS2 where you’ll occasionally just stop when sliding on a curved surface. I don’t know if that’s been fixed, but I think surf is largely dead in CS2 because of it. You need to go to one of the older games if you want to do surf right now probably.

NFTs with fewer steps, but yeah.

I had the idea to use an old phone as a server recently. Phones are pretty energy efficient, so it seems like it’d be a smart way to recycle one. Does anyone know if this is actually a good practical idea for a lightweight personal server, rather than just a novelty? I haven’t heard of anyone doing it before so I’m assuming there’s a reason it isn’t a good idea, but I don’t know what that’d be.

Or if he just decides to call himself a republican like he acts anyway.

They didn’t say most of the heat was carried by photons. They said the photons turn into heat when they’re absorbed by atoms. That’s how radiative heat works, and yeah, most of the heat from a space heater isn’t radiative, but some is. All of the light you see turns into heat, so it isn’t lost. A tiny fraction will be lost through some means, but approximately 100% is turned into heat in the room at some point.

Huh. Thanks. I had literally never heard of that before.

I’m not a political analyst, but my guess would be hope that he would be better. He proved that he wasn’t, which allowed Trump to come back because, despite everything, Trump did make promises to change things for regular people. Yes, they were lies, fear mongering, and about attacking a made up enemy, but he at least said something to make people think he would help them.

And people realized how shit it was. It wasn’t working for them.

For the exp thing, it hardly matters. It’s not like you need the exp in Skyrim. If you do, cheesing alchemy or smithing is a far easier source than this exp boost.

The shop thing is nice but, if you’re playing with mods, there are far better options.

Yeah, and it’s been shown that establishment democrats don’t really have the appeal they need to do so. No one gives a shit because they aren’t representing their desires. They’re representing, at best, status quo. If you haven’t noticed that’s not exactly popular at the moment.

Honestly, I think she has a great chance. People didn’t not vote for Hillary because she was a woman. It’s because she represented the establishment and inspired nobody. People didn’t not vote for Harris because she was a woman. It’s because she represented the establishment and inspired nobody.

AOC is a candidate who seems to actually represent change. She seems to listen to the desires of the people and follow that. She doesn’t just do what the donors demand. She has a chance because she does inspire people to see what could be, not just to repeat what is.

If the data gets around I bet it could hurt their relationships with family and friends. Yeah, no legal consequences, but probably social ones.

I don’t have TikTok, so I can’t see the video. Here’s a picture that I assume is him and shows his face. He is shorter than the other people in the picture. Not sure if this is the guy you’re referring to though.
