I think I haven’t played a single skirmish round of Company of Heroes 1 without the Blitzkrieg mod in the past 15 years.

You’re not getting burned alive but its hot enough that you’re constantly sweaty.

The demons don’t actively torture you but they are going to jump you when you turn the wrong corner.

You’re not there for eternity, it’s just really difficult to leave.

You don’t eternally burn in the flames to atone for your sins, but you have to work to pay them of.

…

Shit I think I just described San Francisco.

To be fair, a perfectly fine but dead body is impossible to observe since the process of dying is usually the result or accumulation of injuries or disfunctions. For this experiment you either have to kill somebody without altering their body in the slightest or instantly conjure a perfectly intact body without any life in it.

You know what’s more crazy. Electrons don’t flow at the speed of light through a wire. Current is like Newtons Cradle, you push one electron in on one side and another bounces out on the other side, that happens at almost light speed. But individual electrons only travel at roughly 1cm per second trough a wire.

Check one of my other answers to the comments.

Intersex people don’t vanish. If you yourself are intersex, nobody vanishes for you. Trans People vanish based on their passability for the opposite sex, if they’re androgynous they don’t vanish. If you yourself are trans then the opposite of your prefered gender vanishes.

No I mean everybody is essentially hypnotized to not notice them missing except you. Even if you were to ask somebody “How’s your wife/husband?” They would answer you “She’s/He’s fine.”

Also true. But it’s funnier if you don’t see it that way.

I don’t know if that has been enshittified or was has always been shit in the first place but:

Annotation Apps

Seriously, how hard is it to make an app that let’s me make markups, use a stylus, and share that across devices.

Exhibit A: Xodo
It was once free, with all the good features, but then they took those features away and implemented a subscription model.

Exhibit B: Drawboard PDF
Once, came free with a Surface Pro or was a buy once use forever software, until Microsoft took a away all the bought licenses and locked most features behind a paid subscribtion.

Exhibit C: Saber
Its free. It doesn’t use Windows Ink. Why even bother?

Exhibit D: Adobe Acrobat Reader
Hahahahahahaahahaaaaaaaaaaahaaaa *Wheeze* hahahhhahaahahahaaaaa

Exhibit E: Microsoft One Note
Aneurism Simulator. You know how printing things suck because printers never play along? Microsoft decided to solve this problem by making printing out One Note sheets properly almost impossible on the software level. Also it can’t open PDFs properly or have normal A-Format pages. Either infinite drawing space or nothing.

Exhibit F: Samsung Notes
Actually decent. Free. Android Only. But at least it keeps the annotations separated from the PDF so you can still edit them after transfer. Good choice.

Nvidia’s biggest finacial achievement in their gaming branch was fairly simple, getting rid of the “Titan” nomenclature. That’s it.

Before we had the XX80’ cards and that was it. All you ever needed for gaming was a XX80 Ti. That was the top of the food chain. Nobody ever expected you to have lr need a Titan card - that would have been ridiculous. The Titan card was a mix between gaming GPU and buisness GPU. It was for people who didn’t want to buy a Quadro Series for work and additionally a GTX/RTX Card for gaming. The Titan was the best of both worlds but came with a high price.

But now the XX90’ Series is essentially what the Titan Series was. Except now owning a XX80’ Series doesn’t feel like top of the line anymore. Simply by having a card in a generation with a higher “number” than yours, feels like there’s still a higher tier to achieve or like you’re still in “mid” tier, essentialy. Enough people fell for it and started buying the XX90’ Series as if it where a requirement for modern gaming. And after the XX90’ Series became mainstream, game developers stopped optimizing their max setting for the “mid” tier cards. This I why cards like the 4070 Ti or 4080 S still dip below 60 FPS on 1440p on maxed settings in some titles. 60 FPS on maxed is reserved for a 4090 - maximum settings, maximum graphical fidelity, maximum power consumption, maximum price.

Can we pause for a second and think about how amazing our ears are? You can literally hear a needle drop in another room.

What’s the power level involved in that? Couple of micro watts? Plus the square cube law and you end up with nano or even pico watts reaching your ear.

And your ears dynamic range is literally from a needle drop to a chainsaw at full throttle.
