Not sure you thought through your numbers if only because 95% of 10 means you can only have half a unit unoccupied.

I remember running screen irssi on a separate computer and sshing into the server, reconnecting the screen with irssi in it.

I still do that today.

Importantly, Little Caesar's is also priced like it's mediocre. You're also in and out super quick if you just want a basic pizza from their menu with no alterations.

They're good at what they do, and that's basic, cheap, fast pizza.

I'm not depressed, at least I don’t think I am. I don’t really feel sad.

Society equating depression with sadness is a great disservice to the condition. It's quite common for it to present as just ... nothing. An emotional void where you might expect emotions to be. Things that would be expected to make you happy just don't. Things that would make you sad, the same. Your feelings are depressed in the sense that their impact is just muted across the board.

A lack of motivation is also a very common indicator. You're just missing the drive to do something because the emotional rewards that you expect to happen when you accomplish your goals just aren't there.

"Easy answers" in that they're simple, fit into their existing worldview, and don't require them to change anything. Not easy as in the easiest to find. That's why it's a conspiracy, the simple answers that they want to be correct are being hidden from them.

"Imitation" very strongly implies that it is not in actuality the thing being imitated. Imitation butter is not butter. Imitation crab is not crab.

These medicines are the same chemical, therefore the same product.

I will however grant that while calling store brand painkillers "imitation ibuprofen" is nonsense, calling them "imitation advil" is okay because advil is a brand. Though in my opinion it should be avoided because it carries an implication of inferiority that is simply not the case.

Oh. I think I get it. You put the diverging diamond on the route with less traffic where most is expected to be exiting onto the main highway or whatever. You wouldn't put one at a place where two equally busy highways intersected.

That makes more sense.

I've read descriptions of how they work numerous times and cannot wrap my head around how having traffic going opposite directions cross paths does anything helpful.

Great, you're now on the appropriate side to make the turn at the far side of the interchange, so the people making the turn don't have to cross traffic to do so, at the cost of every car that crosses the interchange now having to cross traffic twice.

What?

Maybe it's not that the Borg adapt to every frequency, but rather they figure out the random generation algorithm so that they can anticipate the next frequency used. Reach time they need to use a new method of generating their randomness.

It switched to free-to-play this month.

I wouldn't buy a new Seagate drive, let alone a refurbished one. Every Seagate I've ever owned died in less than five years. Every WD I've owned lasted until long after their capacity was so far outpaced by newer drives as to be useless.

Anecdotal, yes, but it's happened enough to me that I've been soured on them for life.

I'm with you. This shift over the last decade or so to everything being in video essay format is infuriating. Especially when I'm trying to look up instructions for something that could just be a five item bulleted list or a single image but instead is stretched out into a ten minute video.

There have actually been a few times I've given up on finding some piece of information or instructions I wanted because I could only find video sources.
