    I have that problem with all kinds of shoes and trainers, regardless of the price tag. I bought a pair of Adidas Men’s Hoops 3.0 a few months back and to my surprise, the soles haven’t worn down on them yet.

    But I feel like it’s only a matter of time until a hole starts developing in the soles, which means they’re gonna be waterlogged in any kind of wet weather.

    Clbull,

    Image comes from the monstrous work the Asahi Linux team did to get Netflix working on Linux on ARM Macbooks: asahilinux.org/2024/01/fedora-asahi-new/

    There’s your problem. Using Linux is like using a dishwasher instead of a rice cooker to cook rice.

    Clbull,

    Does HML actually exist?

    I thought the performance hit was quite substantial, like 20% to 30% lower frame rates from using dxvk. Maybe things have improved?

    Native Vulkan support is of course the holy grail but so few games support it. The only few I can think of are Valve games.

    Not even World of Warcraft supports Vulkan, and they’ve supported OpenGL for so long.

    3.82% is actually pretty damn good. And if Windows 12 pushes us into a subscription model I can see that gap rising.

    Also, if/when DirectX gets native Linux support, or DXVK/VKD3D matches the API in performance, that’ll be it.

    Personally I’m thanking Valve for this.

    Clbull,

    I can’t tell if DeWalt is the Gryffindor or Slytherin of power tool brands.

    Clbull,

    A lot of my stress disappeared when changing jobs. Before that, I was having a lot of sleepless nights and even had frequent brain zaps/hypnic jerks.

    My tendency to get walked all over. Recent events made me realise that I need to get a lot better at putting my foot down and telling people when there’s a problem.

    To cut a week-long story short, my NYE plans to do pub karaoke (which I planned nearly a month in advance) got hijacked when another friend group decided to make alternate plans to go to the club and make one of my close friends cancel on me. This led to me being pressured by another close friend into cutting my original plans two hours short so that my friend group could all be together at midnight. Of course, the other group making the alt plans all pulled out on the morning of the 31st Dec, leaving me and my three other friends with tickets to go to a nightclub that I didn’t particularly want to go to.

    I don’t like clubbing. Nightclubs are overcrowded, loud to the point where you literally can’t hear anybody and have to yell at the bartender to even order a drink, and they make me feel isolated. I also feel insecure about my physical attractiveness and jealous due to my inability to pull.

    Botched NYE plans aside, 2023 definitely ended on a good note. I went from working in a crappy purchase ledger job, to facing layoffs, to escaping redundancy by finding a much better internal role that has honestly felt like a culture shock to me.

    Clbull,

    Ok, please do indulge me on this one, because this whole subject is an enigma to me and has been mentally eating at me over the years.

    How do men and women meet in a nightclub and then end up having a one-night stand?

    Part of the reason I don’t like clubbing is that it triggers feelings of jealousy within me.

    I have a friend, let’s just call him Matt. Whenever I’ve been out with Matt, women have always thrown themselves at him whereas my experiences by comparison have led to nothing but rejection.

    There is nothing particularly special about Matt. He’s a year younger than me, looks about average for someone in their early thirties, yet has infinitely more rizz. I can’t put my finger on it.

    Clbull,

    I go from being a socially awkward and unattractive virgin to suddenly being able to pull multiple women in a night.

    Clbull,

    This is peak YandereDev.

    I agree from both an animal welfare and public safety perspective that we need far stricter laws and regulations on dog ownership in general. But also I also think that some breeds are inherently more dangerous than others. For the American Bully XL in particular, we are talking a new pitbull-adjacent breed which has been bred for both aggression, intimidation and maximum muscle mass, both to skirt past existing legislation that bans American Pit Bulls, but also because all these traits appeal to the kind of irresponsible owners that just want an attack dog that looks 'aard as fuck.

    We’re also deluding ourselves when we claim that a dog bred to resemble the canine equivalent of Brock Lesnar is a nanny dog and wouldn’t harm a fly, when in actuality losing control of a 145 lb jacked beast has even led to grown adults being mauled to death.

    Clbull,

    I live in Bristol. Our two nearest arenas which can host large (10,000+ capacity) concerts are in Cardiff and Birmingham.

    We are the only major city in England that lacks an arena. And our council is far more concerned with letting property developers flood the market with luxury office blocks and student apartments.

    Clbull,

    I rate this meme a nein out of ten.

    This rings especially true for Rick and Morty, and My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic. Both are good shows ruined by obnoxious fandoms

    Clbull,

    What was Wenger thinking sending Walcott on that early?

    Windows 12 may end up being my transition to Linux, especially if they go for a subscription model. If you told me just a decade ago that Linux was a viable OS for gaming, I would have laughed at you.

    Valve have outdone themselves with Proton. So have those who worked on DXVK and VKD3D.

    If I were to start my own fast food business, I would make my food cheap as fuck and deliberately target locations that have:

    • A sixth form or university campus nearby. Students are a big market.
    • Nearby pubs or nightclubs. Doesn’t have to be a city centre, could be a local high street. The main intent would be to target the late night crowd.

    People care about speed, cost and not eating something that will give them food poisoning, not gourmet food. The luxury market is oversaturated and we have anything but the luxury to do that often.

    Also, if it’s a sufficiently large eat-in location like a diner, maintaining toilet facilities that don’t look like they’ve been vandalized is important too.

    If I had to put these on a personal tier list

    S Tier:

    • Cool Glasses - As someone on the spectrum who is below-average in terms of physical attractiveness, the one thing I sorely lack is rizz. The ability to put on a pair of glasses and be able to automatically pass any job interview, make any new friends, sell any product, chat up any woman, etc would be massive. Also, no cooldown.
    • Fatigue Masking Mask - Gaining an extra 7 waking hours of time in a day is massive. If you’re productive this is the artifact to go for.

    ? Tier:

    • Caffeinated Shoes - This item is either moderately © to insanely (A) useful depending on its limitations. If you can skim across entire oceans at superhuman speed then that’s massive. If you lack superhuman reflexes and will get splattered into a fine bloody mist from colliding with anything then it becomes a lot less useful.

    B Tier:

    • Frying Pan of Flavor Town - Unless it’s a massive cast iron pan, don’t expect to be opening up restaurants with it. It’s best reserved for your own nutrition and impressing guests with your cooking.

    C Tier:

    • Lucky Penny - A 50% chance of having incredible luck for twelve hours once every fortnight seems great, but the cooldown is prohibitive. Also, unless RNGesus has bad luck protection, there is an incredibly slim chance that none of the 2000 or so times you get to use this item will yield any changes. Also, good luck can still wear off after those twelve hours.

    D Tier:

    • Underwear of Fe’Breeze - Personal hygiene doesn’t take up much time, and with the right environment and lifestyle you can easily build up a habit. This one is just the least useful.
