davidgro, to asklemmy in What is your unpopular flim opinion

Yup. That movie doesn’t even look like itself.

Depends if they are all doing so in the same room (or area if outdoors) at the same time. That’s missing from the quick overview summary that the image presents.

davidgro, to asklemmy in What do you call this place?

Ah - I didn’t know we were the only ones who do. But yes, it’s nice to have that. I understand we also have the largest ferry system in at least the US, although I think that’s not directly related to the rivers.

davidgro, (edited ) to asklemmy in What do you call this place?

Interesting. I haven’t heard them called that, even though I’m in a state where most electricity is from hydro, And my state borders Canada.

davidgro, to asklemmy in Which items/products were you once able to get from local shops on a whim that you now more or less have to order online?

Jeans that fit me.

I’m not even that unusual of a size - just taller than most, and with weight gain I have actually entered easier to find sizes. (Used to joke that I could find lots of them that would fit if I could wear them rotated 90 degrees - switching the waist and inseam numbers)

So I used to be able to go to a department store and with a lot of searching, find some pairs and try them on to confirm that they fit.

Then it started getting scarce. On the final offline jeans shopping trip, I went to JC Penny and bought literally every pair of jeans they had in stock that fit me - about 10 pairs.

Now I would just have to buy online if I want any new ones (not counting specially shops)

The people also have the AI look

davidgro, to memes in What was that?

I guess misspelling is contagious. I fixed it.

davidgro, (edited ) to memes in What was that?

The text is clearly (badly) put there by the AI, so it must have been in the prompt.

davidgro, to science_memes in All is fair in love and war. (See body for part 2)

Gotta be careful with those before a long trip.

davidgro, to memes in I've been robbed!

One thing to point out, The floppy thing isn’t due to formatting, the units themselves were screwed up: It’s not 1.44 million bytes or 1.44 MiB regardless of formatting - they are 1440 kiB! (Which produces the raw size you gave) which is about 1.406 MiB unformatted.

The reason is because they were doubled from 720 kiB disks*, and the largest standard 5¼ inch disks (“1.2 MB”) were doubled from 600 kiB*. I guess it seemed easier or less confusing to the users then double 600k becoming 1.17M.

(* Those smaller sizes were themselves already doubled from earlier sizes. The “1.44 MB” ones are “Double sided double density”)

(Probably)

davidgro, to asklemmy in What's the name of the belief that gods/entities are quasi-semtient memes (the linguistic term, not the cultural term) in the same manner that corporations and governments are considered people?

Sounds like my layman’s understanding of the Warhammer 40K universe:

Thoughts and dreams and nightmares of the various races all over the galaxy in the material world create gods and demons in the “Immaterium” (also called “The Warp” for its importance to space travel, for mankind anyway) and those beings occasionally ‘leak’ to the material world.

davidgro, to asklemmy in What game do you play to just chill?

They could be low level. I certainly remember when a Ruin Guard was a big scary monster that could kill my whole party.

And later when I was playing pretty seriously I still stayed out of Abyss Floor 12 because it wasn’t worth the effort (literally - I never got enough stars to get a reward from it even when I technically defeated it)

davidgro, to asklemmy in What game do you play to just chill?

And even more casual than that is their latest game, Honkai: Star Rail. The combat is turn based, so you can just look away and come back later as you wish and don’t need gamer reflexes at all*

I love it.

(* There’s one minor exception - an Ultimate move can be launched after your turn, but before the enemy’s turn or between two enemies’ turns, which does require some speed. It’s not usually important though.)

Cocaine must be a hell of a drug…
