most people want connected cars, my gf loves preheating our BYD when she heads off on an early morning start before she hops in, seats and cabin have been prewarmed etc. she likes the 360 birdseye cameras and I must admit they are very good

Neither of these things require the vehicle be “connected”. The cameras are entirely local to the car, naturally, and remote starters worked just fine for decades without being online.

I realised this a while ago, and it’s frankly baffling to me that anyone can pretend it has any direct relationship to how well a company is actually performing. It literally doesn’t matter how well a company is performing, if people buy the stocks the price goes up, if they sell the stocks the price goes down. There is no other factor that matters.

The fact that people buying and selling usually correlates with a company doing well or poorly doesn’t actually mean those two things are inherently connected.

Some are bread.

After many years of being a developer I’ve come to the conclusion that the single strongest indicator of a person’s competence is how they handle CSV when asked to produce or consume it.

That is massively more powerful than a RAW normal action unarmed attack, which does a single point of damage with no other riders.

If you have nothing else to do with your bonus action that round then it isn’t really a waste of time, no matter how bad it is. 1 damage is sometimes all you need.

Being together for a month or less and not only learning that your S.O. is a-okay with being woken up in the middle of the night by manual stimulation but also having the opportunity to do so two or three times seems like an absolutely wild relationship timeline to me.

I’ve committed to playing her ever since the initial session 3 reveal just because a friend of mine hates her so much.

…how does 36KB RAM and 72KB ROM give you a total of 64KB?

This is basically the case with any community that isn’t one of the broad topic/mass appeal subreddits. If you’re looking for discussion on anything even slightly specific Lemmy and other alternatives just completely fall on their face. Whether that’s support for a specific addiction or even just conversation about one particular video game series, your options are Reddit, discord, Twitter, or nothing.

…and, even if we accept that to be a generally true statement, you think that warrants arrest?

Heh. Doodoo.

Then it hit me that you typically don’t just take estrogen together and go to a Starbucks alone platonically.

Maybe I’m just unusual as well but this doesn’t really sound that strange to me? I’ve gone to coffee shops and taken care of medical concerns in the company of platonic friends plenty of times.

Very happy it has worked out the way it has for you though.

Many anesthetics actually have an amnesiac effect as well. If you’ve ever been under general anesthesia then you likely had a minute or two of talking with the anesthesiologist that you will never remember and that last “this is just oxygen” moment is not actually the last moment you were conscious.

I’m perfectly okay with the signature thing. Way better than the mandatory giant product banner and contact information “signatures” that are injected into our emails where I work.

Has no organs

Looks inside…

…organs.

I’m in my mid-40s and expanded my circle of friends by about a dozen people in the past year or so.

Just go out and do stuff. For me it was getting involved with the local fighting game community.

Which aligns with what I said. 500MB is most of 700MB. The difference is made up of other various hardware reservations.

My completely standard Windows 11 install says 64GB installed and 63.9 GB usable. I can assure you that doesn’t mean Windows is only using 100MB.

Go to task manager and look for “Hardware Reserved” at the bottom right of the memory tab. I bet you’ll see a number very close to 700MB. Mine says 87MB.

You seem to be under the impression that “16.0 GB (15.3 GB usable)” means that Windows is what is taking up the missing 0.7 GB. This is not the case.

Most of that is probably reserved as VRAM for your integrated graphics. None of it is in use by Windows itself.

Windows memory footprint is larger than that, without question.

I lost interest when the Athena landed at San Francisco and turned into a building at the end of the first episode. I quickly scrubbed through the next couple of episodes to see how much time was spent in space, saw none, and checked out.
