Comment on Why gen Z is drinking less in ~health
teaearlgraycold Link ParentI'd say the average in SF is more like $15-18 though. Smuggler's Cove - which is a world famous rum bar with excellent drinks - has most drinks at $15 or $16.

But some spots do have drinks around $23. Maybe I'm not going to fancy enough places because I've never seen anything here close to $30.

I want to give credit to the handful of math teachers at my public high school that were excellent. My statistics teacher loved the subject and teaching so much she’d occasionally jump up and down with excitement during a lesson. My calculus teacher was one of the kids’ favorite in the whole school. He managed to make it fun while caring about each student and explaining things well.

teaearlgraycold Link ParentThe restart time is when it is so that if something goes wrong I am still awake to fix it. But I can change it. That just means if something is misconfigured the server could be down overnight.The restart time is when it is so that if something goes wrong I am still awake to fix it. But I can change it.

Clearly there's a side-effect to restarting, so perhaps there's a way to measure that side effect. Then on restart you can set a ~24 hour timer which locks the inputs just before the next daily restart.
It wouldn't be too hard for me to implement the RestartRedstone datapack though. I just think for some players here it could be an interesting problem to solve.

I think there was a portion where I couldn't possibly imagine how I was going to progress - until I realized I wasn't limited to normal game logic and got on the floor.
But the main reason I love it is everything with the interface is so damn polished. It's just so much fun to walk around looting. Looting in Alyx is more fun than any part of most other games. I look forward to a future with Alyx-style looting in a survival game like The Long Dark.

Which is usually quite a bit of money for the amount of food. It helps that I'm in a dense area and if I order Taco Bell it's maybe .75 miles away, so I don't need to pay for too much time.
However it should be a legal requirement that these services ensure the workers get as much as they get when they deliver to me. Plenty of people don't tip at all and even if you go with the recommended tip amount they're still getting screwed much of the time. It's not a tip, it's a way for a random person to feel like someone's boss for 30 minutes. And if you find yourself paying the minimum you can get away with you have no right to complain if your boss does the same with you.

teaearlgraycold Link ParentI'm interested in trying it for the SF bay area. There's BART, SF Muni, and Caltrain. Starting by the ferry building in SF you can get way out into the boonies east, to the ocean, or to San Jose.I'm interested in trying it for the SF bay area. There's BART, SF Muni, and Caltrain.

Correct. This hasn't happened yet on this season, but in other seasons (and other formats of the game) it's fairly common for there to be a pause overnight and they resume the next morning at the same locations.
Being the madman that I am, between posting my comment and now I've seen the two preceding seasons of the show and am now more familiar with how it works.
I could still see Ben opting to not sit in the woods for 10 hours on the next day if his suit works really well. I'm curious how that works exactly if both hider and seekers are in the same town at the end of the day. What if there's only one hotel? That could be funny.
Edit: The town in fact has many lodging options.

Episode 4 spoilers
After two thirds of the runtime it seemed pretty clear to me that they weren't going to find Ben by the end of this episode. I actually went back and watched the trailer and there's a few seconds where he's wearing the ghillie suit and it's night time. So they're going into the night on this run. I honestly expect this one to end not because they find Ben, but because Ben won't want to spend the night sitting outside and he'll just reveal his location with like 14+ hours on the clock.
Also, they totally had me fooled into thinking they were on the right line until it was revealed they should not have excluded the peninsula.
Edit:
In the podcast they seem to indicate that they only play during daylight hours? So I guess if it gets to night they'll start again at 7:30am the next day.
