There are dozens of us. Dozens!

I feel your pain man. Our university of 40k people did the same thing “from on high” and we ran into the same problems in our lab. We only had 4 million files to move into a Teams share. Which, btw, takes about 5 weeks to “sync” to OneDrive, which is how we were expected to replace our workflow instead of a shared network storage drive our lab owned

Sounds like they could have been lazy and simply disabled/blocked your dns lookups, or stopped providing your route to 0.0.0.0/0. VPN provides new dns provider and a route to the internet at large, and you’re back in business.

the subreddit r/okbuddybaldur is pretty much 50% Astarion porn and 50% Durge/Gortash shipping.

So yes. People apparently want it. I guess.

Please explain why you don’t open powershell and run cmd.exe instead of running bash? This is a strange workaround and doesn’t really make sense.

She’s not wrong though… people are complicated. Math… well, at that age? Math is easy.

As a rehabilitated Eve addict, I can tell you that it’s a lot of addiction. MMOs are about two things: people and gameplay.

In Eve, the PvE gameplay is awful. But the PvP is amazing and the people are amazing. Even though I haven’t logged in in years, I still talk to these people regularly. Like once or twice a month.

While they’re not my closest friends, I genuinely know them and feel I can share anything I need to get off my chest in a safe place that will hear and respond. Picking a good group of people in a game can make or break your experience.

After that, 10,000 hours of online social time doesn’t seem so bad compared to the alternative of being alone and still playing games.

Is it good for you? Absolutely not. But hopefully that puts some perspective on MMOs.

Relevant instructions:

Opt-out. You can decline this agreement to arbitrate by emailing an opt-out notice to arbitration-opt-outdiscord.com within 30 days of April 15, 2024 or when you first register your Discord account, whichever is later

I had to ask bing copilot how to write the opt out email. Here’s a template for everyone to use.

Subject: Opt-Out of Discord Arbitration Clause

Dear Discord Legal Team,

I am writing to formally opt out of the arbitration clause outlined in your Terms of Service. I do not wish to be bound by the arbitration provisions.

Please confirm my opt-out status via email.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Sincerely,
[Your Full Name]
[Your Discord Username]

I agree. I think arbitration should be limited to one-off cases, not class action lawsuits because you sell a faulty product.

As an engineer:

  1. Receive or identify a problem.
  2. Design a solution that solves or mitigated the problem.
  3. Usually pay someone to make a prototype or do it ourselves
  4. Test the prototype and see if it solves the problem. If no, go back to #2 until a workable solution is found
  5. Get someone else to build the final thing.
  6. Make sure thing works. Ship it.

This is a recursive and iterative process. Meaning you will find problems inside your solutions and need to fix them.

Eventually you finish the thing and get a new problem and do the whole game over again. It’s like a puzzle that requires absurd amounts of knowledge to play well, but anyone could try to solve the problem. That’s why good engineers are paid pretty well.

The player interface is excellent. Being able to see who the actors are in each scene is one of my favorite UI features.

I agree that finding a thing you want to watch is meh at best. Especially because they mix in rentals, purchasable content, and prime content all in the home interface window.

That said, yo ho matey.

It’s a lot. General “disappearance” of goods from any source is referred to as “shrinkage” or just shrink. It’s fairly easy to look up once you know the name.

Off the top of my head, shrinkage typically ranges from 3-10% of inventory. Feel free to find sources and correct me.
