The British man has been socially conditioned not to show it...but he'd likely really appreciate it.

I dunno but sea's got cucumbers. 🤔

Maybe the upgrade to this can be righteous anger, like an anime hero, lots of screaming and yelling but it's out of raw determination rather than hatred for all things lol.

I suffered a job exactly like this for almost a decade. Public facing, helpdesk kind of work. Obviously I was also assigned office-like busywork as well.

So the entire job was just having my brain ripped between "What was I doing?" And "Excuse me fix my problem sir, but let me ramble about how frustrated it makes me for like 20 minutes first because you're cheaper than a therapist!"

I'm still trying to undo how much that place screwed me up.

is scientifically proven

Sorry, what?

At what doses?

Yeah if someone's self-medicating with like 18 cups of coffee per day they're gonna have a bad time, but like 2 cups shouldn't wreck somebody. I feel like this needs more specificity.

(Although more than 4 cups per day will start leeching calcium from your bones, so watch out for that)

Exactly. If there's a line companies love saying it's "In these uncertain times..." The more you're worried about unpredictability, the more predictable their little lines get...

You'd think the working class would be a part of society "too big to fail." =\

It sucks so much that it was just a result of being cheap. Replacement Hall-effect sticks seem to function just fine, people say, but you don't expect to need to crack the warranty sticker within mere months. :(

I love Roller Coaster Tycoon. It's absolutely crazy how he managed to write a game in a way many wouldn't even attempt even in those days, but it's not just a technical feat, it's a creative masterpiece that's still an absolute blast to play.

It still blows my mind how smoothly it gives the illusion of 3D and physics, yet it can run on almost anything.

OpenRCT brings a lot of quality of life and is often the recommended way to play today, but the original RCT will always deserve a spot on any "Best Games of All Time" list.

That was a really frustrating little factoid for me to learn. I think 3D printing can be an amazing hobby, but the safety bits aren't really discussed until you bring up resin! If we find a good way to break down PLA, or heck invent a compostable plastic, it would go a long way.

I still feel stupid breathing so close to my PLA printer while it was operating as I was trying to troubleshoot stuff. Gah.

The printers can be bought for dirt cheap, but decent enclosures and ventilation are still seldom talked about and turnkey solutions seem to still require the resources of a university department or popular influencer.
