Here I present a little something I call a Ctrl-C, Ctrl-V

Appliances are super expensive. It doesn’t help that so many of them have planned obsolescence built in so they fail just after their warranty period.

One little thing I learned is that upper “tier” appliances that cost more share many of the same components as cheaper models. The fancy clothes washing machine might have a color touchscreen but the motors and control boards are the same, so you could save a lot of money by just getting the cheaper model with buttons rather than one that is capable of running Skyrim.

A good way to check is to look for maintenance manuals for these appliances. If you see parts lists that are shared between the more expensive and cheaper models, you’re better off going with the cheaper one.

My dog once saw another dog kick up the ground after pooping to cover it. She now does it every single time, but didn’t learn it right so she ends up kicking up dirt randomly in other directions for a few seconds.

For me it’s DU. DU HAST. DU HAST MICH.

Pirate going straight for that booty

I’ve worked at companies where the documentation was either non-existent, not digitized, or very poor in quality. Add 10+ years to that when nobody is left at the company who worked on the original project and it can cause this exact level of frustration.

I’ve had that happen before lol

I was like wait this sounds familiar

Instead of generative AI for game assets, id much rather see something like a LLM in game that dynamically controls NPC behavior. That would be cool as hell.

Like an RPG where you can type what you want to say to an NPC instead of choosing a fixed dialogue tree.

If you don’t say it, the commercial never ends

Being here is good if you’re in a boss fight and you need to eat entire wheels of cheese to restore HP.

Dayum that’s a thiccc booty

mmm a whole pallet of blueberries for dinner

Shouldn’t the other penny behind the front one be rotated a bit prior to punching so you can actually see the minted year without having to pull up the front penny?

It’ll look a bit janky but at least it’ll follow the intent of the post.

Yeah. Lemmy’s entire population is about as large as some of the smaller gaming subreddits. Even /r/mildyinteresting has over 200k subscribers (4x as big as Lemmy), and that subreddit is a misspelling of /r/mildlyinteresting.

Hmm… Sealand? Bir Tawil?

I hear that ReiserFS is actually pretty decent from a technical perspective, particularly with large numbers of small file handling.

Why hasn’t it just been completely renamed and taken over by other developers?

At my previous job they had a special term for unpaid overtime: “Professional time”

So glad I’m no longer working there.
