I mean... think I don't have hundreds open at a time with all my memes?

  • If it is important and you don't need it right now, use a bookmark and close that tab. Bookmarks have been around for literal decades now in browsers.

    • Please, UI designers

    Jump

  • Come to Japan where they like to make everything images instead. Can't select it, can't copy it, can't translate it without a camera, can't preview the text of something, is bad for accessibility, etc.

    • ww0

    Jump

  • It lasted seven years... Just not exactly and only seven.

    • U.S. senators urge Canada to ‘give us another chance’ on trade, tourism - National | Globalnews.ca

    Jump

  • As a citizen of both countries, my vote is on 'no; not for a very long time if ever'.

    • Infrared contact lenses allow people to see in the dark, even with their eyes closed

    Jump

  • even with their eyes closed

    This sounds like hell to me. I get over-stimulated and need to close my eyes sometimes to shut off the input.

    • Plants outside vs Plants at home

    Jump

  • Some things used in water treatment may be more detrimental to plant growth. You can try letting the water sit for a day before using so some things may evaporate out.

    • Do you use a meat thermometer?

    Jump

  • Yep. I use an instant-read thermometer wherever I'm cooking whole pieces of meat. If I've cut it intobite-sized pieces, I do not. I don't cook beef at home anymore, but would only use it for things like roasts.

    • Installing Linux Doesn't Need to Change. The Experience Does.

    Jump

  • I don't daily drive linux at home because of the video editing software I need to use (Davinci black magic) not reliably working and often breaking on upgrades. Secondarily, some games won't run. If I'm afraid to upgrade to not break things, that puts my security at risk which is not an acceptable situation.

    • Thanks to the backward First-Past-The-Post voting system, Nigel Farage could obtain an absolute majority in Westminster with only a minority of British votes.

    Jump

  • Could the monarch technically (I know they aren't typically involved in politics in recent generations) force a change? Is there any way to petition them to do so? I don't really know the UK system or if this would actually be a good idea.

    • Steak

    Jump

  • Needs something green on the plate (and maybe some gravy). Now I want mashed potatoes.

    • You're being sold as an action figure. What 2 accessories do you come with?

    Jump

  • Noise-cancelling headphones and allergy meds (at least this time of year)

    • Paid leave for new mothers

    Jump

  • Japan has it (and, more recently, paternity leave), but using it can be harder. Old companies try to pull all kinds of BS to deny it or change the woman's job or such. It's getting better and enforcement is cracking down but, as with all things here, it moves slowly.

    • Kids nowadays don't have many (if any) videogame heroes...

    Jump

  • I don't know that FF had a specific hero as it were. DQ I suppose did in that they were at least named and had some story. Megaman is a good callout, though. We did have them in the computer gaming world in the more nebulous sense (like how I see FF). I guess I'm also thinking about how hero is used here; is it an existing character with a backstory (more like DQ or even megaman) or some character you create (FF again but also all the old SSI games on PC and many others).

    I was thinking of fighting games but OP said nowadays it seems that all games are made for teenagers and adults. and I kinda threw the early SF and MK games into that bucket.

    • Kids nowadays don't have many (if any) videogame heroes...

    Jump

  • I'd argue that xennials didn't really either. I certainly didn't think of Mario, Sonic, Doom Guy, etc. as heroes. The closest that jumps immediately to mind as a named person is the protagonist of Wolf3d whose name I won't attempt to spell here, but even then I didn't give a shit about his story which, if memory serves, amounted to a blurb in a manual.

    My heroes were in print in books and I don't think there's anything particularly wrong with that.

    • Toxic tofu? How plastic waste from the west fuels food factories in Indonesia

  • I wonder what the Japanese source is. I thought we recycled PET and burnt all the rest for power here. I guess not.

    • Kosmos 482 reentry bingo!

    • Boredom

    Jump

  • When I was still a fairly small human, giving me a screwdriver was a great way to find disassembled appliances (and a somehow-not-electrocuted gradeschooler).

    • Pope Leo ‘Looked the Other Way’ When Victims Raised Sex Abuse Claims Against Priests, Survivor Warns

  • No more tax exemption. Even better, ban them.

    • Is it weird to juggle in the park?

    Jump

  • Seems fine to me. I'd rather someone juggle than loudly play some instrument.

    • "I don't know" how much Borderlands 4 will cost, Gearbox boss says, but it had "more than twice the development budget for Borderlands 3" and "it might be" $80 like some Nintendo and Xbox games

    Jump

  • Counterpoint for the general case: games also have a much larger playerbase these days and manufacturing of cartridges and components can be done at much greater economies of scale. In many cases, there is no physical media manufacturing cost to a lot of the sales.

    For the specific point: Gearbox/Take2 have lost all faith from me so, while I don't generally mind some games being in that price range, there's zero chance pitchford and his ilk are getting that from me.
