As a general rule you can have versatility, or efficiency but not both.
You can have legible coding or efficient coding but not both.
Memory is comparatively cheap, which means labor hours is comparatively more costly; so why spend time optimizing when you can throw together bloated boilerplate frameworks and packages?
Hmm… I tend to like his no-BS approach with giving it back to Republicans, but I’m not yet sold overall.
Porter was long my hope but unless it was smear, she’s been revealing herself to he a bit like Klobuchar. Though I also know stress can be massive during these things.
I actually liked Tom Steyer quite a lot during the 2020 primaries, placing him well ahead of most contenders and far above Biden.
Many of the traits of childhood are wonderful and you should cling to them. Sense of wonder and curiosity, goofiness, don’t take yourself too seriousky, adventure, physicality, etc.
I think I get what you’re saying, that sometimes one wonders if relative to some of your peers of you’re “achieving” enough. That’s a trickier question because some introspection from this is good.
They really are! I’ve brushed against these climbing communities before and long been drawn to go (for many reasons haven’t). Why is this? Why does it seem like this attracts chill people?
Lately I’ve realized I need to get back into some sport again, whether that’s pick-up soccer, racquetball, climbing or something… Good for the soul. Too old for hockey now, I think lol.

They aren’t the first, and won’t be the last. It’s so fucking sad.
I haven’t look into it with any depth, but I kind of feel recall elections should be possible especially for US Senators.
Uhh, more Americans blamed Republicans and Trump’s approval tanked.
This guy is full of fucking shit. There was no reason relent and it would’ve set Dems up for success next year.
Primary them all.
Not too mention people holding their cash and toning down holidays massively, like my family is doing.
In fairness the US healthcare system does prioritize rich people. You can get preventative MRI scans if willing to pay.
The question is, did any other US President have preventative MRIs done? I’ve never heard.
I was thinking how it could be the next step in preventative medicine if as part of one’s annual physical that not just bloodwork but a full-body MRI could be granted in a universal health care system.
Imagine what that could do in stopping issues before they snowballed, and the value for medical studies…
Interesting! I have the inverted perception. All subjective of course, and it probably has to do with my being less interested in the gritty thriller aspect of the other two. That said I thought Riddick did a great job blending the two. If you haven’t done so, I highly recommend watching the “Unrated” version of Riddick and the Director’s Cut of Chronicles of Riddick which elevate both films significantly.
CoR had so many big, unique characters and good actors. Lord Marshal, The Purifier, Karl Urban as Vaako, Dame Vaako, Keith David as Imam, Judi Dench as the Elemental, etc. In our house, it’s one of the most quotable movies up there with Sin City. Some of the cinematography is stunning, too.
Yeah nothing as groundbreaking as Blade Runner for instance, but just one of those films that has such high replayability for us.
Mediocre!? Thems fightin’ words!
Chronicles of Riddick is a hall of famer in the sci-fi world building space romps! So many good lines.
I modeled the teacup and put in Riddick’s lines when equipping or striking in Skyrim for my wife lol.
Not necessarily the biggest roles but I’ve always appreciated:
The narrator in the original Medieval: Total War (intro for example). Set the mood.
Prophet of Truth in Halo 2.
Dunmer male voice actor for Morrowind.
The first and last especially set the atmosphere so well.
I can’t speak for Alyx as I never got a chance to play more than 10 minutes and I know the voice actress changed for Alyx. But Episode 2, wow. It’s a treat to play the game with commentary. The end of Ep2 has Merle Dandridge (Alyx) getting emotional discussing the final scene.
Bannon sieg heiled. Fuck em.
So much for individual freedom and small government, huh.
I think both are kind of true. They have more power than perhaps any administration in history given how stacked the Supreme Court is and how subservient the entire GOP is to Trump and the billionaire apparatus.
That said, I DO sense a panic of how so many months have gone by and midterms are right around the corner. With Trump’s approval-ratings plummeting to Jimmy Carter levels already and their lack of justifying consolidation of power while Democrats are energized — IF they don’t succeed by next midterms, GOP are going to lose pretty big.
Prop 50 Yes in California is a must as well.
Holy shit they had to close a 17 mile stretch of the I-5 for this bullshit? For those unfamiliar that’s a major artery linking LA to San Diego. Talking an 8-10 lane highway.
But kudos to Newsom for closing it for traffic safety and going against the hubris of the military claiming it was safe.
What a way to mark 250 years of the Marines with a couch fucker and shells detonating over the interstate.
To be honest, we shouldn’t even need Republicans to turn the tide. We just need to get people off their asses and stop pushing both sides bullshit.
Democratic primaries will be fast approaching and now is the best time ever to support Democratic candidates like AOC (likely to primary Schumer), Mamdani, Talarico, Chakrabarti, etc. and get out the AIPAC crap.
Relevant documentary on The Science of Touch I watched a few years back. I think they mention force and speed matter in stimulating oxytocin.
