It’s not like the value added for that 30% tax isn’t there. Steam has made so many things so easy that it’s easy to forget what things were like decades ago.

If you were an independent game publisher, you had to figure out how to set up a web storefront, a content delivery network hosted in perpetuity, take payments, do multiplayer, add in-game chat, map every weird joystick and gamepad in the universe to your control scheme, achievements, friend lists… And every game developer had to do that independently because there was no public solution, really. The friction to enter the indie dev space was so much higher.

Also, steam does not force you to use their store- you can generate steam keys and sell your game away from the steam platform. The only thing that they enforce is if you sell it for a lower price elsewhere, they’ll de-list your game. Which I think is reasonable.

Python is Spanish; a ton of people learned a bit in school and never picked it back up again. Places that speak it natively all have their own conventions because, even though the native languages were replaced by colonizers, a lot of the native languages patterns remained in place. Most places that speak it are super welcoming and stoked that you’re trying to learn.

Assembly is proto-indo-european

“yeah let me thoroughly clean myself off before rushing this man to the hospital”

Still need liners sometimes

Forgive my ignorance, but for what? Do you have discharge like a cis woman would?

Can’t believe they showed one guy fucking another guys foreskin, that seemed really out of place

When you burn a disc it means using a laser to etch the data as pits and lands in a track on the disc. You’re physically changing the disc when you write to it.

I stopped posting my kids on social media. I don’t think it’s fair to them to create an online presence without their informed consent.

I bought a Braun silk expert pro 5.

While researching I found that most reviews for most of these things had a huge bot/ dark advertising component and I found a lot of the commentary untrustworthy.

So I chose a brand I’d heard of before that won’t disappear into the ether where the device has a return policy period that extended past the time I ought to see results. I’ve only used it once as of now and have seen zero change but apparently that’s expected.

Really all you need to do is check the power output per square centimeter. If it’s 6 joules or above it ought to work.

It’s cheaper than visiting a dermatologist laser center so even if its not 100% effective, if it saves 5 hours of lasering or electrolysis in a professional setting it’s paid for itself.

Idk my hopes are not high. Also I’d recommend finding a used one if you can. I’m personally not one to take chances so I bought new but if my budget was tight they seem to appear on fb marketplace regularly.

This is terrible advice.

OP needs to set boundaries in a paper traceable way after establishing then in person (an email of “dear boss lady, I want to eat lunch alone, kthxbye”), and track violations of those boundaries (dear boss lady, today you sat with me at lunch after I asked you not to, please explain why). (Obviously be more professional).

Then after a few violations, OP can go to HR because suddenly the boss lady is starting the fire; there is a clear history of personal boundaries not being maintained, leading to a hostile work environment.

This only doesn’t work when the company is like 5 people and HR is your boss’s cousin or whatever.

Even if all pollution stopped today we still have to clean up the patch.

I’ve never had an original thought in my life

A French embassy built in 1841 when the territory was its own country. It’s now a 5 minute walk to the nearest Wendy’s from there.

I bought an IPL hair removal thing today. So that’s step 1. Which is more than zero.

I started using Python ~15 years ago. I didn’t go to school for CS.

Compared to using literally anything else at the time as a beginner, pip was the best thing out there that I could finally understand for getting third party code to work with my stuff, without copy paste… on Windows.

When I tried Linux, package managers and make were pretty cool for doing C/C++ work.

Despite all that, us “regular” engineers were consigned to Windows.

We either had to use VBA or a runtime that didn’t need to be installed.

I legitimately want to be cremated by the sun after I die. Doesn’t matter how long it takes.

Downloading a movie only to find it was the pain Olympics or a cartel/terrorist beheading was also fun

There are other more efficient working fluids for power transfer but water is pretty hard to beat due to it not being toxic or an environmental hazard.

Yeah let’s ignore the fact that it loses 70% of its strength at like 800 F, that fact invalidates my meme catchphrase!

Get a timer controlled power outlet and hook a Hitachi magic wand to it. Place the wand under your pillow. The vibration is super intense and gets uncomfortable at the highest setting. Bonus points you can wake and bate since you have a massager handy.
