The update from CS:GO to CS2 made the game unplayable on my aging hardware which is the only thing that got me to stop playing.
I'm in a single-player game phase now, and I have to say it's nice having gaming sessions where I don't get called every slur imaginable. That being said, Counter-Strike scratches a very specific gaming itch for me, I'll definitely come crawling back one day.
Explain how AI haters or doubters cross over with Veganism at all as a comparison?
They're both taking a moral stance regarding their consumption despite large swathes of society considering these choices to be morally neutral or even good. I've been vegan for almost a decade and dislike AI, and while I don't think being anti-AI is quite as ostracizing as being vegan, the comparison definitely seems reasonable to me. The behaviour of rabid meat eaters and fervent AI supporters are also quite similar.
I remember seeing this while playing the silly Mario Kart map in TF2.
The phone to Bluetooth/cassette adapter to cassette/8-track adapter to 8-track is crazy and I really hope someone is actually rocking that in an old car with an 8-track player.
It's admittedly been a while since I've played Skyrim (probably over a decade), but can't you just make a save right after the character creation? Or does it not let you save during the escape sequence at the beginning?
My highschool geography/criminology teacher. He'd routinely make us discuss current events in class, and really make us analyse the points we brought up. It really helped guide me into making my own opinions rather than just accepting things at face value.
Shout-out to great teachers. Thanks Mr. Robin!
The testing elements in Portal 2's maps are technically Turing-complete, and people have made very simple "computers" with them. Here's a video from 2012 of someone building logic gates.
There's also VScript which PortalRunner on YouTube used to port an NES emulator and make a web server. Their channel is really good if you like this type of silly hacky fun.
two guys and their enby buddy
Thank you, I will exclusively refer to the Holy Spirit as "enby buddy" now.
Oh and this is how I imagine they look like:
Seriously! I get that we're in a severe housing crisis, many people can barely afford rent and the homeless population is ever expanding, but won't anyone think of the cars?
Anyways, if you can't afford an apartment, you can always sleep in your car! You can't drive an apartment, checkmate liberals 😎
If this is your reaction to someone describing cute things they've done with their partner, I honestly feel kinda sorry for you.
Wasn't Hitler partly inspired by the Jim Crow laws present in the US at the time? Pretty sure Nazis have always espoused "American values".
I had to drive around 1500km this past weekend in a rented mini-van. I don't own a car, so that's probably more distance than I've covered in a motor vehicle in the past 5 years.
Today, back home and on my way to work, there was rather torrential rain, but I was still so thankful to be back on the bike.
(Happy National Acadian Day to all Acadians!)
Craquez-vous une Alpine, mettez du 1755 ou les Hay Babies, pis faites du tapage pour laisser savoir aux Anglais qu'on est still là!
Two cappuccinos I made one after the other in my café today. This couple came in and wanted large cappuccinos, so I made them in our 16oz cups. Not my cup of tea (nor coffee) but if I can make what you want, I will! Unfortunely, my muscle memory is attuned to steaming/pouring 8oz capps, and so the first one came out somewhat more phallic than I intended 😅
The only thing worse than a shitty pour is a shitty pour in the same order as a drink you nailed.
I'm just curious! I'd love to know what type of cafés anyone here is working at.
My current café is kinda old-school Italian style coffee-wise but much more laid back and add some hippy-granola vibes for good mesure. Our beans are roasted in-house, and pretty much all the food we sell is made in-house as well, down to the sauces, and anything we don't make ourselves is bought locally.
I've worked in two other cafés prior to this one. The first was a kinda upscale third-wave spot that mostly attracted yuppies, and the equipment far surpassed the training of any of the staff. We had pourovers on the menu and maybe 1 and a half employees actually knew how to brew with a V60.
The second was a hardline traditional Italian-style café, which, if you're familiar with the coffee culture in Canada (where I live) vs Italy, is a silly idea. A lot of people here only know Tim Horton's or Starbucks, especially in a mostly rural province like where I'm situated. You have to meet people where they're at; scoffing at people for wanting sweetener in their latte isn't likely to encourage them to jump into the coffee world in whichever way one deems proper. It'll only encourage them to stick to Timmies or Starbucks instead of checking out local cafés with actually good coffee.
(For some context, I live in Canada, beer labels are bilingually English & French here)
At home I typically alternate between a V60, a French press, and an Aeropress. Since getting more into pourovers, the Aeropress has mostly been used for iced coffees in the summer.
That being said, I'm currently working as a barista full-time so I don't drink any coffee at home. My espresso consumption at work is already entirely unreasonable.
