  • There’s also at least one article (well the only one I found was more recent in 2016 could have sworn I knew one from the 2000s, no amount of water in the one I read) out there of someone dying from drinking too much water while high. I want to say it was like 1-2 gallons in a fairly short amount of time, a few hours or something.

    That said I’ve been high a ton and never got close to that amount of water so stay hydrated just don’t down like a gallon in a couple hours, even extremely dehydrated I’m fairly certain our bodies aren’t meant to process that amount of water, though too lazy to check amounts.


  • If you could only play it when you rented the game, it was more difficult to memorize. Unfortunately none of my friends owned it, I rented it semi often but can probably only passed the level under 10times. Even thinking back I can remember the exhilaration of passing it. Course I kinda suck at games and after dying at the level would find something else to do rather than keep playing. This is someone who loved the turtles back then too, only reason I’d keep renting it.



  • I’m in my mid 40s huge geek, programmer, gamer…I never had a huge calling to join those platforms. I was always a more forum type. Admittedly I checked out the sites from links of Reddit and such, but never had an urge to join them for anything, probably due wanting to read more conversational type input from others. Maybe I missed out but seems like being an old foggie sort of won out in the end with what I’m reading these days.

    I’m sure there was decent conversations on some of the platforms as well, so not saying they were always bad just wasn’t something that I had an urge to put time into, mostly so I could game more heh.




  • They probably assumed from Witcher 3 it was mostly fine. I played a fair number of hours on PC, I think the second (maybe 3rd) time it crashed for me was when I was playing the dlc intro, and I don’t think I noticed any horrible bugs. Now I’m not saying they weren’t there of course but this may have all been that reviewers saw as well. Also I think PC was much better on launch than the console so that may have played a big part in it.

    I never read many reviews ahead of time to know what promised features were excluded but I’m sure there were a number, so that should have sunk the score noticably.

    I would say it’s easily a great game now, but mostly I love the attitude and aesthetics of cyberpunk (the genre) and this was one of the recent games that did that part right.

    We’re only talking about 80MB though, at work just the core Grape City Active Reports dlls are 32MB that’s not even including the dependencies (everything seems to use extra system. Dlls on windows). A simple aspx web forms project I’m looking at with maybe 1MB images is still 120MB, granted it’s not optimized or anything and 32MB is from Active Reports



  • What’re the advantages of a smart thermostat compared to one that you can have a schedule on? Unless they aren’t available without that anymore I haven’t shopped for one just thinking of our office one that has a day / night type settings. The one our office has is fairly plain, LCD screen with like 6ish buttons, shows if it’s fan, off or heat / AC on. Seems simple enough without needing a smart device.

    I can see wanting to use an application to set it would be nice but seems like smart devices aren’t worth that comfort.



  • I found it difficult to watch when i did due to the situation, maybe not right in covid but not out of it either. As depressing as it made me feel at points (girlfriends choice of movie so had to sit through it but we alternate so only fair) I found it amusing that while plainly satire the actual dialogue and actions were pretty much what at least one democratically elected administration showed during a huge crisis. If it aired 10 years previous it’d probably be in the bin of crappy spoof movies for being so ridiculous and maybe get a cult folowing, yet it was practically a documentary with the situation changed.

    I can understand not feeling comfortable due to the triggering in it though, it wasn’t exactly a fun watch even if it was a comedy.



  • Sawmills I knew about rotated areas they’d cut from and did tree planting in the summers in the areas logged to be sustainable. Of course in Canada there’s not much shortage of trees to cut down anyways but I thought that was the usual way in US and Canada. I don’t mean we should be cutting down 1/20th (I’m not sure how many years the rotations were offhand) of the trees each year or anything though.
