I don’t know much about lol or fighting games but the starcraft pro scene exploded after a gambling/match fixing scandal back in 2010! The first wave absolutely had this problem

I have an LG washer/dryer as well. On mine, you need to rotate the large central knob by one "click", then the buttons start to work. Why? No idea.

This depends on your size and activity level. The last time I dieted, I was losing a pound a week on 2700 calories. 1400 would have been a severe crash diet.

The article you linked says that Chiquita was extorted into illegally paying money to a Colombian death squad, who also murdered people, and were ordered to pay restitution to the victims' families. It doesn't say that they paid t

My family leaves me alone when I'm on a call, but feels free to interrupt if I'm quietly working. Sometimes, I enjoy the company, so I don't want to tell them to never do this, but I also sometimes need focus time. The sounds

Amazing to see M-A posted here. Spent way too many hours in my youth scouring the internet for things I could add and correct. I still have an ancient account with full edit access, frequently make changes on behalf of people in my local sc

I still remember when they got to 10k bands. I think this must have been around 2003-2004. And people were speculating about whether there where another 10k metal bands in the world. Crazy.

For what it’s worth I have nearly complete aphantasia and I enjoy mccarthy’s descriptions very much. But if the quotes do nothing for you, his stories probably will not either.

It uses a lot of the same "hostile architecture" techniques that public spaces use to keep homeless people out. There's literally nowhere you can get comfortable, unless you want to lay on the ground in the middle of traffic.

I am American and my children's school has exactly this rule (phones confiscated during the day). My kids report that most of their peers simply ignore the rule and keep their phone with them, and that this is so common the school has

I'm currently working in an MLOps engineer role at a mid sized company. I agree with that article that most of what I do is plain old software engineering. I don't think I'm interchangeable with any other backend dev though,

For what it's worth, I have a counter-anecdote: all the women I know who are into witch stuff are married with children and several of them are self employed doing arts & crafts kind of stuff.

I’m not immune to worrying about the doom and gloom news. But what I decided is that there will be jobs for programmers for as long as businesses need custom software. The various scary economic news suggests that maybe things will get wors

At my last work from office gig, I was sitting next to a sales support person who was on the phone all day long on topics that were irrelevant to my work. And the other software people would start shooting each other with f-ing nerf guns

I was also a daily drinker for years. My experience was after a while, the booze was not really helping me unwind. It was increasing my base level of anxiety, creating the “need” to use it to unwind. I could only see this after I stopped fo

When I was a child my parents did a brief experiment grinding our own flour with a cheap grindstone. I can clearly remember the sensation of the bits of stone in the bread. It is possible to make flour without this problem? Almost certainly

You’re using super obfuscated language so it’s hard to follow what you’re actually saying. It sounds like you’re saying because you can’t evaluate people with lazy mental shortcuts like race or religion, which would be illegal, you have to

Combat sports. Right now I train judo and armored combat (I.e. fighting in full armor with blunted swords and axes) As a side benefit this forces me to stay fit. I find few things as motivating as knowing there’s a set date in the near futu

The reviewer stops dancing around his own opinions in the final third. TLP's views, according to the reviewer, are thought provoking, but "cucked" -- TLP lacks the intestinal fortitude to be a hardcore neoreactionary racist,
