What is SEA to you? South East Asia? Seattle? A boat?

That’s just a strange godzilla comes to town

I work is a loud environment, and didn’t take it as seriously as I should’ve, and just wore regular earbuds because I wanted to be able to listen to music over the noise of the machinery. I don’t have it as bad as either of those cases you mentioned, but definitely noticed that I couldn’t hear as well by my mid 20s, and it takes very little background noise to prevent me from being able to following a conversation.

Now I am pretty good about wearing earplugs, and have bone conduction headphones that I can use with them, and the sound comes through clear even at low volume with the ear pro in. I would highly recommend them if that is part of anyones hangup around wearing ear pro.

I had an Alias 2, and it was the best phone I’ve ever had

No way in hell.

Username does not check out

Its just a microcosm of how being poor is really expensive, while there are tons of ways to save money while wealthy. That doesn’t end up being the cause of wealth inequality but it does give a certain inertia to those class positions.

Its pretty reasonable that if you see a thing that is disguising itself as spam, and you don’t know that it is only disguising itself as spam. To one, not click the link, but also to downvote or report and move on.

Laughs in Thievery Skill

I think the place they are getting the bit about patience from is specifically dragon quest. Where the devs intentionally positioned it in opposition to other games of the time that required you to get good so to speak.

I read an interview a few years ago, I think with Yuji Horii about the design in dragon quest being set up specifically so that by sinking time in you would eventually overpower everything and progress, even if you never improved at the game mechanics. I couldn’t easily find it again when I looked to link it but maybe I will be able to later today.

You could potentially run into this or something very similar in cad when your sketches aren’t fully defined yet. I’ve definitely ran into models that are slightly off square because someone missed a constraint much earlier in the timeline.

Its intended to focus on a specific skill, the other skill can be valid and not be the point of the lesson.

They are paraphrasing ralph waldo emerson

Isis isn’t gone, they aren’t holding any territory right now and are greatly diminished, but they took credit for an attack in Russia this year even.
