Successful rolls are mostly not necessary to progress the game. Your guy is many things, including a bit of a loser who just hit rock bottom, but your success as a player of the game is only loosely connected to his success as a character attempting things.

If it gets too much, remember that the arthropods are in silent and meaningless awe of you.

10 kg mylar bags of rice.

Refucktoring.

That's an incredible bake for a cheap oven, whoa. Well done!

Dang, it's gorgeous. What kind of oven do you use?

Neat! Thanks for the explanation. :)

CapyReader (synced to FreshRSS)

Oooh, what does that look like in practice?

I mean, that'd be a major GDPR breach, be hard to extract any signal from because queries will usually be coming from a relay or from behind a NAT so you can't tell who the query even originates from, and DNS is cached heavily too so you only get a small fraction of the queries anyway. I'm not seeing a way the calculus work in favor, basically.

OTOH the question of why they'd even run a public DNS is interesting, yeah. Running a public DNS is cheap and helps the Internet work better, and they make more money when the Internet works better since that adds up to more page views. Less charitably, though, it's possibly just a thing from back when they were an engineering company first and foremost and did that kind of stuff, and now they can't turn it off without breaking a lot of things and causing a lot of costly anger.

I'll admit I'm not sure what the threat model is with 8.8.8.8.

And incredible direction. It's the first time in decades, since perhaps The Matrix, that I saw this many new direction ideas in a single flick.

I remain baffled that someone read the script and apparently said, a kung fu comedy sci fi thriller family drama with infinite timelines and jump cuts across dimensions occurring up to multiple times per second? Yeah, sounds good, this will definitely work, let's fund this.

I don't know how the Daniels did it, but whew, I'm glad they did.

I'm mildly offended that I can consistently be reduced to a blubbering mess by a show with literal fart-based plot points.
