Source? There's no publicly available info on player counts other than BSGs word, so I'm calling BS

EoD is edge of darkness. It's basically the most expensive version of the game which was originally offered and was supposed to include all subsequent dlc, hence the outrage(ridiculous pay to win features and price aside). SPT is a modded version of EFT(escape from tarkov) that let you play the game single player and added a bunch of cool stuff. BSG(Battlestate games, the publisher/dev studio) didn't like that so they would copyright videos that used SPT. It's a whole mess

Agreed. I think we took self expression too far. Things like the Internet, hip hop, counter culture etc definitely changed how we express ourselves. I cringe at the idea of how I defended the use of words and phrases even as an adult, hiding behind defenses like "intent matters". It wasn't until I was in my late 20s that I started to think about how the things that I express might be harmful to others. Thankfully I don't see many kids act like we acted. I even caution my son against the use of phrases that might be worded too strongly, such as something "being stupid". If we can give our children a world to inherit, I think they can come closer than we've ever been to world peace.

😂 I feel you, oral was a big part of my range

Well honestly I have the skills of a diamond rank but the matchmaking keeps putting me in with silver rank teammates so I guess I'll never get out of (barely) gold

I came across this early in my career in networking. I ended up having to support another technicians customer(we primarily managed our own workloads) and he did not use the tools(vault) we had to manage the network equipment credentials, so I always had to call him and ask him what the password is and why he doesn't update it in the vault(it frequently changed) ... After bothering him enough about it he said it was job security.

This was a 45k entry level job that he was years into. Why someone would want job security at the bottom part of the totem pole is beyond me, but that is where I mostly came across tribalistic tendencies(I worked in a lot of small/medium sized companies before getting a big break)

If I look up those people on LinkedIn, they're exactly where they were or in another lateral position. They don't tend to make it very far.

I wonder what that means for left handed autists.

https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/the-asymmetric-brain/202212/left-handedness-and-neurodiversity-a-surprising-link

"The researchers found that individuals on the autism spectrum were 2.49 times more likely to be left-handed than people without autism. Altogether, about 28 percent of individuals on the autism spectrum were left-handed as compared to about 10 percent in the general population."

Salvador Dalí: 'Those who do not want to imitate anything, produce nothing.'

I wish I would have heard this quote much sooner... I usually like to flesh out my projects/ideas from the start and it feels unoriginal or boring when it's too derivative of other work... But everything is derivative of something. Being afraid of being "unoriginal" should never stop you from creating, or at least trying. A lot of the time the "unoriginal" work pays great homage to the original work and really does transform the result to something new and vibrant

Thanks for the explanation

Few questions about that, unless they're literally taking their model and putting it into your own box using it's own compute power, I don't see how that's possible. They can call it "your" copilot all they want but if they're reading your data and prompts and computing that on their own box then they're using your data, right?

Usually yes but not lately because I've been having to work most weekends. I haven't had a weekend off in a few months. Just finished working a few hours ago actually. But I'm blessed to be in a well paying job and im getting great experience. Gotta make hay while the sun is shining.

Question about open ear headphones, how bad is sound leakage? I wouldn't blast music with headphones on in the office but is even moderate listening volumes pretty noticeable?
