Uh… Whatever you say, that’s not really a thing this side of the ocean. We use a lot of different things in pickles - never have I seen anyone use HFCS. Not even in store bought pickles.

I tried Fanta in the US and it was disgusting compared to the European version. If the corn syrup is what causes that and they also put it in pickles where you come from, I understand why you might prefer the salt type. But I assure you, even store bought vinegar pickles are way superior to salt pickles here.

You’ve never had the good stuff then. Salt brine based is boring.

Remember how corporations are people? Well, bots can be human if you pay enough.

Yea, but I’m not eating them for health reasons and the brine ones suck lol

Usually vinegar where I come from. Wayyyy better

That’s my theory. They’ll pump out a few cookie cutter games on the existing IPs, but relatively little creativity is going to be allowed. It’s all for gamepass.

They’ve been touting Gamepass as the xbox seller for a long time now. Several years since they gave up on competing using exclusives if you ask me.

I’m starting to like the specs more than previous gens. At this rate, I might buy the 7 or 8 - 6 still seems like a downgrade from my current phone in some respects and I don’t NEED a new phone anytime soon.

They probably realized that they’re better off paying 3rd party devs to put their games on gamepass than developing their own games.

Lots of modern cars have electric power steering. Many of them have lane keep assist.

Man I had existential dread at like 3 or 4 when I started wondering what happens after death and what the meaning of this existence is if it’s limited to one lifetime… I’m not even bullshitting.

My personal anti-suggestion is always the office. Too much cringe. I’ll watch compilations of Jim pranking Dwight on YouTube, but I can’t watch the show as a whole because of Michael.

If you read the rest of my comment, I acknowledged that foreign capitalists are taking all the profit. The question is, what’s the solution? Because any local leadership in such a country, whether left or right wing, is likely to be corrupt and serving their own interests over that of the people.

Damn. Does the debt get erased eventually?

In fact, everyone is fake and gay.

Exactly. A 10% decrease in run time for a method is a small optimization most of the time, but whether or not it’s premature depends on whether the optimization has other consequences. Maybe you lose functionality in some edge cases, or maybe it’s actually 10x slower in some edge case. Maybe what you thought was a bit faster, is actually slower in most cases. That’s why you measure when you’re optimizing.

Maybe you took 3 hours of profiling and made a loop 10% faster but you could have trivially rewritten it to run log n times instead of n times…

How’s that possible? Genuinely wondering, I’m from a country with free uni which is still cheap ish if you don’t qualify for free for some reason. I understand the concepts of tuition and loans, I’m just wondering how the loan ends up so far underwater if you’ve been paying.

I have no experience of my own, but at least in my country, IKEA offers a 15 year warranty on their stainless steel cookware, except the ones with nonstick coating (which isn’t nearly as durable). It’s fairly affordable too. I’m thinking of replacing some nonstick pans of mine with their stainless steel offerings, but haven’t yet pulled the trigger.

I figured it might be interesting to add here because it’s one of the few companies that sells in most of the western world and I believe the lineup is similar everywhere. If anyone has experience with their cookware, I’d be happy to hear about it.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen one. I now feel sad that I may never.

Seen plenty of comments on reddit who have used the GI bill to get an education they otherwise couldn’t afford and then a decent career that has nothing to do with shooting people. That’s what the smarter ones do, anyway.
