When I was in school, we were taught that vaccines work. /s

We have both kids of music here, Country and Western.

My work upgraded to Windows 11, now I have lag for a right click menu to appear, and once it does individual items (like Open with Notepad++) just show up as “Loading…” for several more seconds.

Not specifically a difficulty thing, but to many enemies take to many hits. It makes me just want to avoid combat whenever possible because it just starts to feel like a waste of time. I think it exacerbates the issue with the gauntlets, because they just drag on and on, and you can’t just run past them. (Mercifully they are one time only).

Maybe some more visual feedback would help. Was I 20 hits away from beating the boss, or 5? Are there 5 waves in the gauntlet, or 10?

They have started to cap attendance, so at least it won’t get worse. Also, come checkout the American Sci-Fi Classics panels, usually lots of room.

DS2 is the worst of the trilogy, but still awesome.

It’s only canon until megacorp says it isn’t.

I thought Brennan quit to make doll shoes!

If they are pink, don’t forget to add the pink tax too.

Try suggesting people try out a garbage collected language and see how the crabs come to feast. :P

Which is why garbage collection is the way to go.

At one point my company made us buy Eclipse from a vendor because free software was not allowed. It had no tweaks or support, just out of date Eclipse that I had to wait for purchasing to get

OPNsense is also a viable alternative.

Often times when you pay for the product, you are still the product.

My issue is C++ will “let me do it”, and by that I mean “you didn’t cast here (which is UB), so I will optimize out a null check later, and then segfault in a random location”

Have you ever used wheel-el in emacs? It really sets a high bar.

Some founding father: By men we mean WASP landowners of English/French/German heritage, right?

Jefferson probably: it’s so obvious it goes without saying

I liked Urth of the New Sun, but I can also see why it is separate from the others. For me it felt like a step back for the main character.

The Book of the New Sun (really 4 books) gave me the feeling of reading Dune, Hyperion, and Lord of the Rings kind of wrapped into one.

I would also recommend the 4th Dune book (God Emporor), as it wraps up where the first 3 books were going with the Golden Path. After that, he starts a new trilogy, which doesn’t get finished, so results may vary.
