No. Just ludicrously rich as her father started a nation-wide retail giant. She’s never worked a day in her life, upwards of $60M in personal assets. Utterly delusional as it relates to how the world works and how others live. Buying an entire X, having one bite and throwing the rest out is her default.
She buys a full $32 cut fruit platter, eats one chunk of pineapple, puts platter in fridge until it rots into slime and then has her maid discard it. She’ll buy a 12 pack of bagels, eat a quarter of ONE bagel and throw the other 11 straight into the trash.
Really.
Thrifting as well in the last year. I used to be able to walk into a thrift, drop $60, and with a little bit of work and repair and cleaning I could turn that into $300 resale
I haven’t had a profitable find at a thrift store in 6 months. I haven’t found anything at thrift that’s even worth looking at.
Last year when I was hitting the food bank so I could survive, an obscenely rich friend sent me a text message “I’m heading for a 2 week cruise this Christmas, where are you going?”
Circa 1997 I was making some innovative new games, employed by a dude who’d put millions of his own money into the company. He was completely nonplussed when I brought him 20 CDs in a sealed box to remove from the building and store off site. He thought I’d lost my damned mind and blew it off as ravings of a stressed dev. I pointed out real threats to our IP including the hardware failures and even so far as the building burning down. 2 years of custom art and code gone. “Unlikely. Relax.”
After I moved on… an ex co-worker who’s still a longtime friend, tells me a different division lost a huge amount of FMV over some whoops-I-destroyed-the-wrong-drive blunder. 20 days to render on an 8 or 10 machine farm. Poof - No backups. In 1997 even with top-of-the-line gear it took an insane investment to render quality 3D.
The friggin’ carelessness irks the shit out of me as I type ahah
Yeah it’s a 45-minute unbreakable opening tutorial sequence that is totally unskippable and totally unnecessary.
Oh Lord I hated everything about that game, but I don’t want to go off LOL
It’s just an incredibly soulless game, towns are filled with cardboard cutout npcs, there’s generic guard, wandering peasant, blah blah blah
Fighting, even on Blood level, is trivial
“Searching” around with witcher senses is an absolutely pathetic mechanic
I’m saying this based on personal experience, having gone through a really bad hygiene phase when I was extremely depressed.
It took me a long time to figure out why the stink was not coming out of my clothes despite repeated washings, vinegar/borax/alcohol/etc treatments, everything I could think of.
I ended up using cheap pet odor enzyme spray. Have since learned there are other more expensive enzymes, but I’m happy with the pet spray cuz it works.
I just have to jump in here.
The lingering B.O. in clothes is dead bacteria which still stink - you need enzymes to actually accomplish anything.
Vodka and vinegar are useless except for certain applications and for “fresh” sweat.
To cure hiccups:
Hyperventilate for about 30 seconds; breathe out until your lungs feel like they’re going to implode; Without intaking breath, smoothly chug a 12oz glass of water.
It will “reset” your spasming diaphragm and stop the hiccups.

I managed buildings. There is no scenario anywhere where anybody would be allowed to linger in a common area
Agreed, and this article is written backwards.
Problem: Audio is a low power (relatively low data) signal that goes over wire. Audio data (not audio) sent via USB needs decoding into audio before it gets sent down the headphone wire. Implementation fails due to insufficient bandwidth. Graphs and textual details go into details about the bottlenecks.
Chef’s kiss on this comment. I have been selling high-end audio gear for 2 years since I accidentally got good at it
I have never met a single person through this entire adventure who even knows what these are, and I’m continually laughed at and questioned why I would save them lol
Reply 2… Did you read that article recently where they discovered the flexo electric properties of ice?
Wild shit.
A lot of articles are talking about lighting technology and all kinds of bullshit but my thought was… this could have very dramatic implications for atmospheric sciences…
Why would I do that? So I can fuck up my precision solders on expensive boards??? I need my electrical connections to be free of dirt and debris, and the way to accomplish that is by cleaning it with a solvent or flux. Using an eraser is the equivalent of rubbing it with your fingers… you’re not going to remove the small particulate or oils. Haven’t tried it; won’t. Its piss-poor advice.
Edit downvoters don’t seem to be aware that the last thing you need on a solder site is eraser particulate. Do yourself a favor, go rub a pencil eraser on two things and then try to solder them together without cleaning with flux or alcohol. Send pics lol
Normal people use alcohol or flux
I do a ton of electronics repair, would never in a million years think that an eraser is going to do anything but make my life harder
You’d be hard-pressed to find an amplifier that could output so much power it would melt a vacuum power cable or lamp cord lol
Light-duty power cables can handle like 1,400-1,800W you’re never going to find anything that can output even close to that… unless you are the audio/hardware guy for outdoor concerts.
Of course, don’t use angel-hair wires
8k is effectively dead
