Comment on Amid marijuana legalization, a civic problem lingers: that smell in ~life
NachoMan Link ParentYeah that's definitely personal, I also quit smoking years back and I also notice how far away I can smell it in the air or even on people now. Marihuana is just worse to me.Yeah that's definitely personal, I also quit smoking years back and I also notice how far away I can smell it in the air or even on people now.

Comment on Finland has remained the happiest country in the world for the seventh year in a row, according to the annual World Happiness Report published on Wednesday in ~life
NachoMan Link ParentYes you're letting it bother you more then you should, I live in one of the countries high on the list and I can't see how this would be a jab at America, let alone specifically. Secondly life...Yes you're letting it bother you more then you should, I live in one of the countries high on the list and I can't see how this would be a jab at America, let alone specifically. Secondly life isn't that perfect here lol. For some reason a lot of Americans seem to want to be the best at literally everything, and I think that's going to be impossible sadly. Finland definitively doesn't have the economy or tech the USA has for example. Life is quieter, and that has its pros.

Brown university has an experiment going that tries to make it even better with quizzes, some more text and some tools visualising borrows etc. Very enjoyable.

The really interesting question here is, what if America gave it's workers more rights would their output be that significantly less? Or maybe more even?

Comment on Should I bother installing another OS on my Pixel 4a? in ~tech
NachoMan Link ParentJep, as far as my experience with custom roms goes things should mostly be fine for an older device.

Just be cautious when a new Android version comes out and wait a bit to get that. It's no fun beta testing an os when it's your daily phone.
And with being cautious I mean read the discourse around that phone's custom rom. Xda developers used to be the go to forums for that, nowadays discord and telegram could be sources but it depends on the particular developer.

It's just Linux, installing Koreader was literally as simple as copy pasting files. I like the Dropbox integration for transferring epubs. Kobo is also quite open, but installing Koreader has more caveats and the Pocketbook let's me just replace the default reader app with it, which is awesome. I don't think Kobo can do that.

I'm still amazed at how good Blender is when I started learning that for fun.

Blender really skyrocketed once they got some big corporate sponsors and could hire some fulltime devs. So as long as Godot keeps listening to the community and don't fuck things up, which they seem to do, I'm quite confident. In fact I became a backer myself last weekend.

On the Unity subreddit a developer of some children's mobile game showed some statistics where they would have to pay more than the actual revenue from that game, showing how ludicrous and thoughtless this fee is.

These are all games with over 10k reviews(arbitrary number) which use Unity. Really puts it into perspective. Few examples: Rimworld, Vampire survivors, Slime Rancher, Hollow Knight, Subnautica....
This is absolutely huge and potentially devastating. What a needless greed this is. Wow.

NachoMan Link ParentHonestly you can do a lot with dumbbells. In fact the dumbbell BP can wreck if done correctly because of the added stretch under load. And you don't need a spotter.

You won't push as much weight but that's a number only the ego cares about :)

In a way it's almost poetry that the struggle of capitalism vs art destroyed the game's future, it could have been a storyline straight from that game.It's pretty wild right.

That being said, very nice month again. Happy to see Disco Elysium in there even though I own it, it's going yo my wife. But also sad to see it given the backstory there. (see for example https://gamerant.com/disco-elysium-developers-speak-out-studio-za-um-owners/)

I mean it looks beautiful but the gameplay loop is just off for me. Runs too short to be a campaign but too long to not matter if you lose. Then the cart driving annoys me, too passive and time consuming. The combat... Haven't decided yet.
I know plenty people like it so that's fine. I can respect they didn't turn it into just a pretty DD1 though, but it's a bit too evolved for my taste now.

Grip training for me is mostly hanging from my pull up bar (my back likes that too) and one of those squeeze things. Grip strength improves quickly it's pretty cool to be able to confidently open jars etc.
Also if the card can't be removed, every laptop I've seen has those wires connected to the wifi module that serve as antenna, clipped on with a little connector. I imagine without those it wouldn't do much if anything.
