I don't mind strategic combat (I play Civ, BG3 on harder difficulties) but I hate grinding combat and play those games on easy.

What that means is I don't play walking simulators. If I'm railroaded into a story, the combat better be damn good or I'm refunding the game or at best uninstalling it. I'd rather pay $100 for something like the outer worlds with a really interactive and replayable story than $20 for something like greedfall where it's just a tv show with spamming buttons every so often.

The Greens also have a terrible name, they're a left wing party that don't particularly care about environmental issues. Meanwhile the Lib Dems just stand for whatever the government doesn't, which changes depending on who's in power.

The real difference is between gif and animated webp... Even fewer places accept animated webp than normal webp and those that do often don't even show it right (looking at you slack emojis) which is a travesty as the file size difference is huge

Yeah true, plus I bought my a770 at pretty much half price during the whole driver issues and so eventually got a 3070 performing card for like $250, which is an insane deal for me but no way intel made anything on it after all the rnd and production costs

The main reason Intel can't compete is the fact CUDA is both proprietary and the industry standard, if you want to use a library you have to translate it yourself which is kind of inconvenient and no datacentre is going to go for that

"Lucky cucumber" is as close as I can get but needs some mispronouncing of cucumber

I just find the saving mechanism frustrating to use compared to vim's as an entry level user, and now as a mid-skilled user I dislike how featureless nano is - when I was first learning how to use the terminal I hated having to edit anything as I was pretty much force-fed nano with no alternative provided, but on finding vim and remembering literally 3 things (:w, :q and i) everything became so much easier, but I definitely do have an extra bitter taste left about not being told about something much easier to use which irked me when I saw someone preaching how amazing nano is

I also really don't get the hate for vim when remembering 3 things gives you as much/more functionality as nano and is a starting point for so much more functionality - intuitive doesn't mean featureless and don't try and pretend nano's shortcuts are the same as 99% of other editors (text or otherwise), in fact they're totally different, making it less intuitive

If they're middle names for Sigurd then frankly who cares, it's a cool name... Two middle names is common and so one more isn't exactly going overboard

Floods, generally

Generally the houses are old enough that they're from before we forgot that building on floodplains is a bad and that entrances should be perpendicular to the slope, and when every few years we'll get a day with 200mm of rainfall these houses are generally fine even if some roads get ripped up and swept away, but the new houses that get designed by people hundreds of miles away who think the 1500mm of annual rain they get is as much as anywhere could possibly get (try twice to quadruple that...) often get absolutely destroyed

People also generally have 4x4s as you will need something raised to get through roads sometimes, or to pull people who don't out

Especially with swipe typing - the only times I find I'm typing in a whole word is if swipe typing repeatedly doesn't get it (eg have when I'm trying to type gave), or when I'm typing a word that isn't in the dictionary. That means the vast majority of the time autocorrect would kick in it would be unwelcome anyway

Yeah no, it's a list which targets Russian shills and which Russian shills want to discredit by making it seem strange and questionable.

Sounds like you haven't invented Europe yet, even if you spring for a non-Eastern vareity it does make the price of dino juice, houses and cigarettes increase

Medicine

£110/year or so for unlimited medicine prescribed by a doctor

Health insurance

Who needs it

College

Usually free or at least heavily subsidised (even in places like the UK where you're paying £10k/year the government also plays about £5k-40k towards it depending on what course etc.)

The issue is you'd still need humans to verify its correctness... It could come up with all sorts of new discoveries, some of which would be hugely groundbreaking, but a lot of which would be correct-sounding nonsense, just like AI at the present does with normal sentence... The issue with ML is that it doesn't really doubt itself, and anything that could would be a whole new technology, not just a hugely improved version of gpt4
