Most professors don’t have the time or desire to actually make a good test so the curve is a way to compensate for the poor test. There is more pressure in the current day to also pass more than may deserve it as well.

It probably will. Given the modest spec bump and the high even for Nintendo hostility to switch emulation, it’s probably trivial to support switch 2 as well.

It depends on the volume you need. A food processor can shred an 8 ounce block in a few seconds. You will spend a bit more time cleaning, but it can save a lot of prep time if you need multiple blocks or lots of vegetables. I used one a lot more when I was meal prepping multiple dishes.

All companies are tech companies, those that aren’t will be replaced by those that are. It’s been a common theme for a decade. I don’t really care that some venture capitalists lost their easy button to decide where to throw money for massive returns. Investing is supposed to require diligence.

It’s my second store, but it’s still a distant second to steam.

It would be her most vulnerable as it’s her first term, but she just got elected, so people likely won’t care in 6 years.

This is a good summary, but I think it misses another big point. The country is super racist. They don’t allow enough immigration to offset demographic issues. They also don’t get any other benefits of immigration like cultural changes that could actually help companies be more adaptable, or maybe trying something different than the exact same thing for 100 years is a good idea.

So mother is in the 12th hour of labor, she can just morally request an abortion? What if the baby is crowning? How about before the cord is clamped or cut? What about the day before a C-section?

The lab leak theory was dismissed because there was a lot of powerful people that didn’t want any serious investigation into it. China was 100% against the lab leak theory. Fauci and the CDC were also against the lab leak theory as he was directly responsible for funding gain of function research in the most likely lab, which had been widely criticised as extremely risky research.

It also makes an incredible conspiracy theory because it’s essentially impossible to prove either way at this point.

The problem is a second launcher or library is a pain in the ass for a user. I already avoid GoG unless it’s massively cheaper, and there’s the no drm benefits there. I’m not even interested in free games on epic.

Epic is the latest example that’s trying. EA gave up that fight years ago, and probably had better shot than Epic ever will.

Most the article makes no sense, but the Mac stuff is really weird. This 18 year old YouTube video is still accurate about the Mac part. https://youtu.be/2B-ekl_cEWk

Much better performance is a bit of an exaggeration. Switch games are running at similar fps and resolutions to 360 games.

It’s still a reasonable rule, with a few outliers. For the switch specifically, you could make a reasonable argument it was retro on launch, with cartridges and massively underpowered hardware.

I think using emulation as the benchmark for what makes a console retro can be a useful rule of thumb. By that metric I don’t think the 360 is retro yet as emulation isn’t quite mainstream or functional for the majority of titles. It’s probably getting close though.

Retreating to PC makes sense, because PC won the console war.

For a billionaire spending $1 million is roughly equivalent to a normal person spending $100. It sounds like a lot of money because it is, but they have an even more absurd amount of money.

It’s all about weight when going to space. It’s one of the basic parts of rocket science. If you want to send 1 pound into space, you need to add gas to cover that weight, and the weight of the gas you add. Eventually you reach a point where the combined weight of the gas is more than the thrust it provides and you can’t add more. Solar is light, a few hours of no power isn’t a big deal over months or years of operation time, if you are confident things will come back on when there’s light again.

That doesn’t really change much. Lemmy is worse of an echo chamber of anything.

Quorum is largely meaningless in Congress, both houses assume they have quorum at all times. This allows for the pro forma sessions.
