Second Gaming Crash
Wait, what was the first gaming crash?
Because I recently rediscovered this, sharing here:
All right," said Susan. "I'm not stupid. You're saying humans need... fantasies to make life bearable."
REALLY? AS IF IT WAS SOME KIND OF PINK PILL? NO. HUMANS NEED FANTASY TO BE HUMAN. TO BE THE PLACE WHERE THE FALLING ANGEL MEETS THE RISING APE.
"Tooth fairies? Hogfathers? Little—"
YES. AS PRACTICE. YOU HAVE TO START OUT LEARNING TO BELIEVE THE LITTLE LIES.
"So we can believe the big ones?"
YES. JUSTICE. MERCY. DUTY. THAT SORT OF THING.
"They're not the same at all!"
YOU THINK SO? THEN TAKE THE UNIVERSE AND GRIND IT DOWN TO THE FINEST POWDER AND SIEVE IT THROUGH THE FINEST SIEVE AND THEN SHOW ME ONE ATOM OF JUSTICE, ONE MOLECULE OF MERCY. AND YET—Death waved a hand. AND YET YOU ACT AS IF THERE IS SOME IDEAL ORDER IN THE WORLD, AS IF THERE IS SOME...SOME RIGHTNESS IN THE UNIVERSE BY WHICH IT MAY BE JUDGED.
"Yes, but people have got to believe that, or what's the point—"
MY POINT EXACTLY.
--Terry Pratchett, Hogfather
Aren't 3 of the 4 "Elf Princes" still known to be incredibly fit?
I'm a tech interested guy. I've touched SQL once or twice, but wasn't able to really make sense of it. That combined with not having a practical use leaves SQL as largely a black box in my mind (though I am somewhat familiar with technical concepts in databasing).
With that, I keep seeing [pic related] as proof that Elon Musk doesn't understand SQL.
Can someone give me a technical explanation for how one would come to that conclusion? I'd love if you could pass technical documentation for that.
Neat data, but it seems like starting the coloring at 40% is really high.
I'm curious what this would look like if they counted counties with 25% and above degree requirements.
I now want a community dedicated to....uh....dresses that....uh.....yeild that appearance.
Maybe something like c/MozzarellaBags?
Oh no, now we have to ban them all?? What a shame!

I have heard that my grandmother's secret to perfectly sticking cheese on her pizzas was by adding 2.5 oz of Elmer's Non-toxic Glue to the sauce. Its mightily tasty on the tastebuds.
Yeah, even if we're not quite "there" yet, it feels like we're at least moving in that direction
Damn, that sounds like some real valuable one of a kind kinda merch he's hocking.
No, Freezing to death while drinking porridge together
I don't want to be that guy, but in fairness, ol' boy didn't actually say "biblical republic" (He just wheeled out the old "constitutional Republic" bit).
Doesn't make this any better, but I want to be sure we criticize with facts.
Oh, yeah, Atari would have been before my time, so don't feel so bad about not thinking of that one.
I figured it was in reference to the MMO craze dying down, but that felt more like a strong speed bump than a crash.
