1 fl oz (volume) of water weighs about 1 oz (weight). It varies depending on a bunch of stuff, ya know, cause imperial sucks, but I believe the standard rate is 1 fl oz weighs about 1.043 oz. So assuming beer has similar density as water, 22 fl oz would weigh somewhere around 23 oz.

(Some Google searches show that some definitions of fl oz has it as 1 fl oz = 30 ml exactly, but I’m starting to confuse myself and you know how infuriating imperial is.)

Randall has somehow weaponized my love for the Blue Ball Machine. He is a threat to us all.

Relevant xkcd.

Firstly, of course they’re not paying child support, because being a sovcit requires you to be an insufferable asshole first obviously.

Secondly, I mean, I don’t condone shady businesses practices or grifting. But man, whoever running that is an absolute genius. Scammer for sure, and while I hate scammers to my very core, something about scamming these people in particular feels so very poetic. Someone should maybe tell them, but man… this is funny.

It’s a marketing thing. Calling LLM’s “AI” was a very intentional move, to evoke that sense of hyperintelligence. Whether it’s truly an artifical intelligence up for debate, but calling them AI absolutely helped them gain attention (good and bad).

Also, obligatory “shut up Avina”.

Well you know what you’ve gotta do now, OP. Fast forward these comics to align with the leap years so this doesn’t happen again. I mean, what are you gonna do next year? 1988 was a leap year, so what will you do on Feb. 28 2025?

You’ve gotta post 2 comics a day for the next year so that Feb. 28, 2025 aligns with Feb. 28, 1989. Then you’ll be good!

(I’m only kidding, of course. You do what works best for you.)

I’m even jealous of that office. Their walls are blue! Mine are ugly beige.

Naive, perhaps, but if a company advertises a service, they better fucking deliver on that service. Sure, I wouldn’t store all of my important documents solely on a cloud service either, but let’s not victim blame the guy here who paid for a service and was not given that service. Google’s Enterprise plan promised unlimited data; whether that’s 10 GB or 200 TB, that’s not for us nor Google to judge. Unlimited means unlimited. And in an article linked in the OP, even customer service seemed to assure them that it was indeed unlimited, with no cap. And then pulled the rug.

And on top of that, according to the article, Google emailed them saying their account would be in “read-only” mode, as in, they could download the files but not upload any. Which is fine enough-- until Google contacted them saying they were using too much space and their files would all be deleted. Space that, again, was originally unlimited.

Judge the guy all you want, but don’t blame him. Fuck Google, full stop.

Not that I don’t believe you, but do you have a source for that?

No, there’s only been 3 Mass Effect games. There’s no 4. At all. Whatsoever.

If you go during non-peak days and have a general game plan, it’s not that bad. You can get a good amount of ride time going if you time your Fastpasses (they’re free) good enough.

The pricetag, though, that’s on you to decide. I like going, but I wouldn’t go more than, like, once… a decade.

I think it falls into the same pitfalls as most super niche communities, like a lot of subreddits did.

For example, the shaving subreddit (/r/wicked_edge I think?). Its mission statement was to introduce people to cleaner, safer, and more efficient shaving methods. And for the most part, with all of its resources and wikis, it successfully did it. But if you choose to stay after you’ve made your informed purchases, the posts were mostly braggarts showing off their latest hundreds-of-dollars handles, supreme razor blades, brushes made from actual gold, that sort of thing. My point is, the average person (by my guess, like 90% of people going to the site) gets the information they need and then never participate in the community again. But those who stay are those who really want to stay– people who are most likely to brag and boast. So over time, it falls more and more into plain old dick measuring contests.

This obviously isn’t true of all communities, but I think it’s a common pitfall for a lot of them. I can imagine privacy is very similar: take all the steps you can to learn to protect your privacy, and then… you’re good, for the most part.

And beyond this, there are plenty of Cthulhu-adjacent stories not authored by HPL that are fantastic reads as well. The Lovecraft wiki has some good examples and a nice diagram for what is colloquially deemed “canon”, if someone reminds me, I can link it here if so desired.

I’ve been reading a collection of Innsmouth-related stories in a compilation aptly named “Shadows Over Innsmouth”, very great stuff. I can’t say it exactly emulates the Innsmouth feel, but I’m still loving what I’m reading so far. I do recommend it.

This didn’t read like an ad at all. I don’t think the company would want to push the fact that they can generate a burning world trade center or epstein’s island.

HOLY FUCK I AM SO FUCKING HARD

…small concern though: I currently use the rail planner a lot, usually to map out how I want my outposts to look at long distances. If the rail planner, particularly shift + click, is actively looking for rails to snap to, I hope it won’t greedily try to snap to rails I don’t want it to. I’m sure the devs already have this considered, but I just want to make sure that if I have multi-layer train crossings, and I’m trying to plan them out before I actually build them, that I’m able to path out rails behind an elevated rail without the rail planner assuming I want the rail to connect to the elevated rail. I hope that won’t be an annoying issue.

This is all absurd, obviously, but:

The new subscription can be stacked with a Plus, Gold or Platinum subscription for access to more features, the company notes.

$499 and you don’t even get everything there is to get? You still have to pay for more? What in the fuck?

What a coincidence, I just started getting back into geocaches myself!

Anyway, all the advice here is great, but I’d also like to point out that we are on the fediverse. There aren’t that many people here, compared to other platforms, and the demographic is certainly skewed one way. You can definitely use these in your favor, but don’t get discouraged when you’re “only” pulling a few hundred, when that pretty solidly puts the community into one of the big ones (again, comparatively speaking). Things are just a bit more quiet here.

OP might maybe have had a shred of plausible deniability up until now as being someone edgy or wacky or whatever, or at best someone with a very active imagination. But that reply there pretty solidly confirms OP is just a downvote farmer.

Downvote and move on, no further point wasting any more of your brainpower on them.

Terraria is like the anti-modern game. They absolutely refuse to evilly monetize their game at all. The playerbase is almost on their knees, begging them to move on from Terraria and make something else (not because Terraria is bad, but they’ve been at it for over a decade!) and they continue to churn out updates. The fanbase voted for a set of features to appear in Terraria 2, which they then turned around and scrapped, and added it as an update to Terraria. And all their updates are always free. And can’t forget about their amazing mod support.

And redigit is just, like, the man.
