I’m still salty about Westwood.

I’d say a bit earlier than that personally (wife and I agree that 28 is around that sweet spot). Old enough to have independence and chill out, but young enough that you don’t randomly end up with a headache all damn day because you slept slightly wrong.

The optimal age is 28. It’s late enough that you may at least be hitting a stride professionally (though don’t stress too much if you’re not), you’ve chilled out a bit from your earlier 20’s, and your body (generally) hasn’t begun to betray you yet.

To preface: this is from a previous bout of hyper focus curiosity (i.e. I am not an expert). But the human genome is significantly more complex than “XX chromosome means biological female”. Other genomic markers can trigger that don’t align with the typical, which can result in male reproductive organs on a person with XX chromosome and vice versa. XX and XY are also not the only options. There are three, four, and even five somal groupings (e.g. XXY, XYY, XXX - note that to my understanding, you can’t have all Y chromosomes even in these outliers). If anyone has further information or any corrections for me, I’d welcome them - I’m going off of memory from a couple of years ago and it’s not directly relevant to me (i.e. I am cis-male with no known chromosomal abnormalities)

It really depends on the anime/show. My best example of this is Hellsing. The Japanese VA talent is fine, but the English, particularly for Alucard is so much better - he has a menacing quality that is perfect for the character. Plus, it’s set in England, so hearing English accents is more immersive.

Man, I fucking hate Steve Harvey. He’s such a piece of shit.

Morning people are an oppressive class.

They felt like it? Their brain worded the thought using “his or her”?

On top of that, many people will see a Mennonite and think “Amish.”

I didn’t even realize there was aloe liquor, but I’m intrigued. I do like aloe drinks though, so I’d probably be more likely to enjoy it m

I’ve been meaning to do a post and share this, but I’ll just pop it in here. Wife and I converted an old piano into a

We couldn’t fit all of the alcohol in the piano, so the rest is in a trunk next to it

Kidney stones fucking suck too. Note that there are more than just the calcium oxalate kidney stones, but for those ones in particular, other things high in oxalates that you might be eating that are high in oxalates: spinach, chocolate, tea, nuts, sweet potatoes.
So if you’re trying to eat healthier, don’t fully adjust to eating (breakfast) an oatmeal bake with nuts, peanut butter, and chocolate; (lunch) wraps using a spinach wrap and/or spinach instead of lettuce for the greens in it; and tea instead sodas… Unless you like the idea of Tylenol sized kidney stones.

It absolutely should not have been named zeroth() because the reasoning for that is purely pedantic and ignores WHY arrays are 0 indexed. It’s not like the people in the early days of writing programming languages were saying “the zeroth item in the array” - they would refer to it using human language because they are humans, not machines. Arrays are 0 indexed because it’s more efficient for address location. To get the location in memory of an array item, it’s startingAddress + (objectSize * index). If they were 1 indexed, the machine would have to reverse the offset.
Function/Method names, on the other hand, should be written so as to make the most sense to the humans reading and writing the code, because the humans are the only ones that care what the name is. When you have an array or list, it’s intuitive to think “I want the first thing in the array” or “I want the last thing in the array),” so it makes sense to use first and last. That also makes them intuitive counterparts (what would be the intuitive counterpart to “zeroth”?).

Hank and John Green are pretty good role models, I’d say.

I think it could serve that purpose (and honestly has to some degree), but the big thing that I didn’t consider when I was young was that a lot of people just want to hate (or to convince others to be focused on hate), and will find spaces to spread and amplify that hate. I underestimated the capacity and drive of those that would spread fear and anger.

If it makes you feel any better, when I was young, I thought the Internet would bring the world together since you could sit and have a conversation with people all over the world with different perspectives, and befriending those from different walks of life would help break us out of small-town small-mindedness where everyone “not like us” is scary…

Yeah, I might have been a bit too optimistic with that one.

I’m kinda torn because of this. I like for good games to get recognition and be successful. Part of me wants to buy the game and give it a shot because it’s been well received and I’m happy to support an indie dev… But I really do not want to help establish a trend of indies sleeping on advertising/spreading word, then crying “woe is me” after a single week when barely anybody was aware of it, as a way of guerilla marketing their game. I also need to watch a bit more gameplay to see if it’s even in my wheelhouse before I decide to spend $20 on it.
