Our boss was like "I'm sure he's mad but he'll cool off" for way too long lol

We also worked some insane hours across many locations so it wasn't abnormal to not see your office mates for weeks at a time

Oh switching to metric is a great idea.

Hi, someone from Asheville checking in. Absolutely devastating here, much like Erwin up the road.

I've never been in a hurricane before this but it was absolutely insane. We're so far inland, and so typically climate insulated. No one expected nearly this and it quickly overwhelmed everything we have. Just got soke cell back, I've heard potentially weeks for power for some and same on water.

Man, my parents were cool as shit about this. And I think it had really good consequences for me later on, like in college.

Sex was positively viewed, but strict about protection (rightly so), and drugs were described as a spectrum with weed being very low, and the scary drugs (heroine) being very scary. They were honest about wanting me to wait for drugs and booze till I was more adult, but let me have a few parties with friends where everyone crashed at their house. It was super fun, and very badass feeling. I got to college and was like .... Meh? On partying.

Definitely not the only way to go about it, but the honesty helped me weigh consequences of it all a bit better, I think.

Obviously a good joke, and of course obligatory cal/kcal discrepancy here. This just seems like a good place to put this info:

Calories on labels are for calories absorbed, not for calories in the food (same with the 4/9/4 rule). So it'd be much less for gasoline, if it were possible to label with nutritional info.

Not really related, but of a similar vein:

A buddy of mine is an ER surgeon in a rough city in the US. Says that they usually don't take out bullets from people, just leave them unless they're causing a problem specifically. It blows my mind that the human body is just fine with it

I love re-deriving the train when people talk about autonomous cars/trucking and how they can already do the highway part easily

Brewery process engineer here. The reasons beer doesn't need as strict of regulation in terms of food safety and in terms of labeling is twofold.

Part of that is because it's lobbied to keep it that way, because if you put numbers down they're not great (no surprise)

Part of it is because beer's pH and alcohol content makes it nearly impossible for human-harming-pathogens to grow. On the scale of danger for you from a food safety perspective, beer is low.

NA beer is full strength beer with the alcohol removed. It goes through the same kill steps and processes as normal beer. Alcohol removal can be done a few ways (RO, filtration, boiling) but is I think always or effectively always followed by pasteurization.

Not saying it should be beyond labelling, but that's the reasoning why it's not a high priority for labeling like food.

I have about a hundred hours in it. Here's some scattered thoughts:

–The devs clearly care a lot and it's a labor of love. They communicate well, provide updates, listen to feedback, engage with the community. They're lovely.

–the game has a fun series of mechanics, good visuals, good music, fun vibes. It's a bit.... Sandboxy, towards later in most runs. I don't know what to do with my settlement come cycle 12-15 (cycle is 12-20 days or so). I wish there was a little more of a goal for it, like scenarios

–good mod support and map making. People have made some dope maps for it

I'm gonna continue to revisit it as campaign/scenarios evolve, as mechanics are added, and as I want to get my beaver vibe on

I don't understand how those world views can identify and (you didn't say this, so hopefully not) vote conservative in US these days

Similar energy, this is a craigslist classic:

I'm really hopeful for backwards compatibility with digital and physical switch titles
