James Hoffman just recently made a video on this very subject: https://youtu.be/LZnAQ-PWQdg

Certainly is for Minecraft.

The more modern form of modding with Forge had really matured by that point and people were testing the boundaries of what they could create with modpacks.

The following year saw the release of 1.7.10 as well as the acquisition by Microsoft and rounded off what was generally considered the golden age of modded Minecraft.

Maybe their situation is something like this:

I dunno about you, but I’m not sure if I’d have invited Carl Sagan either…it’d take him ~13.8 billion years just to get dessert ready.

I think I understand the joke, but I’ve seen things from this point of view as well. Something happened during and after pandemic lockdowns that has led to absolutely unprecedented numbers of people going out and hiking what were previously really quiet trails. It was already tough maintaining them before, now you’ve got tons of people who don’t bother to know the norms or understood rules of the parks.

Several parks near me have had to institute an admittance/ticketing program with reservations made a month in advance just to enter the trailhead lot because they’re so overrun with people now. It’s great that people are outside and enjoying a public resource, but maybe it’s just a few too many people all at once?

Don’t forget to have that photo automatically backed up to your personal cloud storage!

The discussion around Soma always annoys me because people tend to get really worked up and take its premise as fact, like this must be the way it would really work and there’s no other possible way for things to go.

Like, for example, what would it be like if they maintained a perfect shared stream of consciousness between the original and the new body with the new body also having a copy of your memories up to that point?

Would you lose your sense of “self” and experience something like phantom limb but it’s an entire body? What would “you” experience if the original body died during this hypothetical experiment? Who knows. ¯\(ツ)/¯

I strongly believe some countries feel the need to support Israel through their worst decisions simply because they (Israel) have nukes. It would most likely be preferable to have a friendly nuclear power rather than an unfriendly rogue one, even if they’re frequently uncooperative.

The idea that refraining from masturbating builds up some kind of internal energy is pretty popular in the incel community, a kind of modern take on conservative daoist sexual energy beliefs. Once you start really looking into it, this stuff feeds directly into the manosphere since they talk all the time about it. It’s also not really a new thing, just reworked to be algorithm friendly.

it’s not irresistible and the people who do dumb stuff just haven’t learned restraint.

Just want to point out Compulsive Sexual Behavior Disorder (CBSD) is somewhat recognized depending on who you ask. The topic of sex addiction is a bit controversial and I believe usually gets lumped in with gambling addiction. This doesn’t really invalidate what you said, just tries to add some context around why people might be driven to self-destructive actions like that.

Redacted or recanted? One of these is definitely preferable to the other in this context.

I miss the old images of the batshit crazy homemade Beowulf clusters people used to throw together that looked like something straight out of Serial Experiments Lain.

What’s crazy is how inconsistent the problems seem to be. I’ve got a 4080 Super and a decent processor, and I’m getting 120-140fps with most settings as high as they can go with frame gen on at 1440p. Only crashed once in about 40 hours of gameplay.

Usually if you’re learning Arabic for religious reasons, it’s going to be Modern Standard Arabic or MSA.

It’s a little bit different in Korea. You notice it even more if you watch newer K-dramas. They’ve (mistakenly? Unintentionally?) started calling what you’d normally consider a latte an americano. It’s become extremely trendy at cafes to offer americanos that are definitely not just espresso and water.

This is a man who didn’t believe Lesotho was a real country. Odds are someone suggested this place and he thought it was a “wink wink nudge nudge” way of saying they’re going to disappear these people.

Ok, then what are these screens on my pixel 6 pro?

I do not have the Gemini app itself installed, but there’s some functionality of it right there.

Check again. If you’ve got a pixel, you might have to go into your apps and use the search function to find it. It installs and hides itself as of some recent update.

Every time I read it, I just see it like the momentary pauses that President Obama made in his speeches. Makes it a little more interesting.

A lot of the more popular ones, okcupid included, all got bought up by Match Group and almost immediately started trending anti-consumer in their updates or removal of features. They want you paying, they don’t give a shit about success.
