“Like obviously we need to make people know things exist, it makes financial and logical sense, etc.“

Why is this obvious? I know it’s so normal that me asking seems weird but, is this really how the world has to work? Can we not imagine a world without ads? I’d like to at least try.

Yeah, this makes sense. Think the thought still holds though. Just needs to be explained with the normal distribution meme.

This is how it should be!!!

If you can feel more than nothing during the root canal (or any dental work) then you need more anesthetic. Dentists aim to give you as little as possible so it is up to you to let them know if you have any feeling. It can start to wear off too, you’ll know and should tell them so they can give you more.

Take earbuds and listen to some music during it. Let the dentist know and they will probably be fine with that.

Edit: Read more of the thread. Don’t get high, it can interfere with the anesthetics. Your tolerance to them can be higher as well. If you feel comfortable with it you can talk to your dentist about it.

It’s been a long time since I read Dracula but I remember really struggling with the start. Nearly quit a few times and it was slow going. At some point it flipped and I think I pretty much finished the book in one sitting. Anyway, it is great and was worth the rough start I had with it.

We did prohibition once already. The result was that all the little guys went out of business and the big guys ended up in positions to be the only guys. I wouldn’t discount that as being a possibility for weed.

Definitely don’t want the extra complexity. Guess my question is if there is a third type of statement (function, method, ____) or maybe even more. From other replies it doesn’t sound like it.

Follow up question. Are there any other ways I would find the length? Or are methods and functions the only options?

Thanks this is helpful.

Function - probably has some limitations depending on what it is meant to do but generally I send a thing, it does it’s function to that thing, and returns the result (or error).

Method - part of the thing itself. Would have to be defined for that ‘object’ and if it isn’t then it probably doesn’t make sense to ask for that info.

Probably have a ways to go to understand objects and why I would choose one VS the other.

Agree about the romances in BG3, they feel pretty shallow. While I can maybe see your point about the writing in general what I think makes BG3 great is that it felt like playing tabletop dnd. New bad guys every week, silly fights and absurd coincidence, maps with minimal markers and characters that are there for the party to use to progress as heros (biggest thing to me that didn’t feel like tabletop dnd was having to loot every box VS just saying I searched the room).

Haven’t played other CDPR games. Guess I don’t need to bother lol.

My vote too. It’s crazy, nothing can be trusted when it relies on ads. Everyone likes to think it doesn’t work on them or is worth the free content but they are wrong and it isn’t.

The annular one over north America? Because it was annular. While a cool event it is really a specific kind of partial eclipse. Totality is incomparable to even a 99% partial eclipse. I heard it described as the difference between mostly dead VS dead and recently I’ve seen the xkcd comic that does a decent job conveying the difference too.

And nanies cost money. So do you have another employee who could be productive now play babysitter half the time? That isn’t going to help anything but a lot of companies seem to think it’s the answer.

That last bit is HUGE. Part of what is great about working from home is flexibility and forcing people to be in on certain days just isn’t ever going to work for everyone. Inevitably you will end up with meetings where one person has to dial in and now the rest of team is annoyed they made the effort to show up that day.

Anyway, I don’t disagree with you that a hybrid where everyone is on the office together for some amount of time could be very good for productivity and teamwork. However, it just isn’t a realistic which then, as you said, makes it pointless.

Just let people work from wherever works for them.

This is true but hard to argue within the universe as we just don’t have the info and there are in universe contradictions about transporters. Been a while since I saw the episode but for me - ‘nonexistentance’ is close enough to ‘dead’ that Tuvix should have been allowed to live.

Tuvix adds another element though. Tuvok and Neelix were already dead and Tuvix was alive. I think that makes this different from the standard trolley problem - still a hard choice but not the same.

If hall effect sensors used for the thumbsticks do what they say (no drift) then maybe they do. I have v1 and v2 elite controller and both have bad drift. The v2 is so bad it’s unusable so I use the v1 and just deal with it because I refuse to ever spend another penny on a controller that is just gonna drift again. Hopefully MS will adopt this for all controllers though.

I read them all at once and it’s been a while but overall I enjoyed them. Definitely felt like it went on longer than maybe it needed to which is probably why I didn’t bother with the short stories. I would still recommend the books.

Profit/number of employees…

Why though. So I might be able to reduce nausea to do… What. Be forced to see ads for shit I don’t want?

I did once. I was young and broke and I saw another apartment in my same building on craigslist for less than I was paying. Tried to call my landlord (who was one guy and not a giant Corp) but he wouldn’t return my calls. So I sent a check for 50 bucks less via certified mail - he called me the moment it arrived and let me get away with it. That apartment was 550 and a drop to 500 made a difference for me then. Now… That same shitty apartment probably rents for 2k a month.

I think the exception proves the rule though so I won’t make you eat any paint chips.
