I omly played it for a year or maybe two tops just before and through Cata. Hated the grind so mostly played a Death Knight tank and joined a random group looking for a tank in all chat that was a blast to play with. Lots of late nights, and had fun, but didn’t miss it when I quit after not wanting to spend money on another expansion on top of the monthly sub.

If anything it soured the concept of grinding. If a game isn’t fun from the outset I don’t even bother with it. Leveling/upgrades are fine as long as it doesn’t feel like I need to for the game to be fun.

In lemmy you can guess as to who the mod is and filter based on moderator to confirm. Pretty easy when there is only one mod for a community as being banned by a mod is far more likely than an instance admin.

I don’t see it in the footer of piefed.world

Since moderation federates you can generally check piefed account bans using lemmy.world if you are familiar with that, no need to sign in.

Yes, it would be handy if the piefed one was more easily accessible. Lemmy never notified me when I was banned, but piefed does.

scowls at your lack of consistency

What if it is the home made pizza using half an Italian loaf in place of the dough?

What about pizza that involves prebaking the crust before adding sauce and toppings?

Once one understands the hero’s journey it becomes obvious why most of the steps exist. If they just go out and do everything successfully the first time with no hesitation they come across as boring. If they don’t have the upside and downs then there isn’t any opportunity for growth.

The ending often have a return and celebration instead of steps 11 and 12 which I think are story specific.

and let’s assume, for the sake of discussion, that we don’t run into any fundamental limitations

We already know there are massive fundamental limitations. All of the big name AI companies are all in on LLMs which can’t do anything that hasn’t been done before, unless it is just arbitrarily outputting something randomly mashed together which is not what to do for anything important. It is a dead end without humans doing things it can copy. When a new coding language is developed, it can’t use it until lots and lots of people have used it to suck up their code to vomit forth.

LLMs, which is what all of the general purpose AIs are, cannot be a long term solution to anything unless we are just pausing technology and society to whenever it can handle ‘everything’. LLMs have already peaked and that is supposedly the road to general AI.

Deer bolting and flailing around is a survival mechanism that makes them dangerous and hard for predators like wolves to catch. When they do it in enclosed spaces or around cars it seems weird, but it is just instinct kicking in.

I was only in one, but the deer hit us.

Dad was driving, I was in the passenger seat. Suddenly there was a deer head in front of me coming from the right and there was a thump and we stopped. Deer had run off, but there was a big dent behind the front wheel well in front of the door where the deer t-boned the car.

I’ve avoided a ton of deer in the road in front of me encounters by stopping or slowing enough for them to bolt. Were your’s just bad visibility conditions or in a large vehicle like a semi or tow truck where not stopping or swerving is safer?

I believe you.

Sunday, Bloody Sunday

If he received a national security letter that had an indication of the government possibly taking over the project and adding in their own back door, that would be a reason to say the software wasn’t safe (from future changes). If there wasn’t follow through then it would pass an audit.

My understanding is that the dryer has a much bigger impact than the washer, although turning things inside out between the washer and drier is a pain in the ass.

Screen prints will last longer because they don’t rub on other stuff as much when they are in the inside, especially in the drier where they also touch the hot drum. Some colors will last a bit longer inside out for the same reason. This was a much bigger deal when clothes bled more, but most newer dyes don’t have as much of an issue with current detergents.

I don’t worry about it except for the screen prints, just whichever way they ended up when taken off.

I know that I lost most of the memories of my childhood, because I barely remember any of it.

Well, I can remember a lot of it with the right prompts, just can’t recall at will. Yay ADHD!

The spider was probably drunk.

That was when he played a white knight!

You may be a neurotypical if you:

Showering properly is one of the few things I do consistently, because if I’m not doing something outdoors like hiking or camping then my stinky bits annoy me.

In the stock market it does both!

The guy set up the insurance for the building he just purchased that had a terrorist attack in 1993. Of course he got insurance for terrorism for a building he just purchased that was a target for terrorists.
