To add to this excellent answer, in my mind at least some of the confusion comes from trying to compare a number to a concept.

Using the 0.999… example, that doesn’t have a set numeric value as such. You cant use it in an algebraic formula to calculate a fixed result. Logically, it’s a number just below 1.0, but mathematically, every time you try to make that distinction it effectively shifts the goal posts.

It’s like the old “count to infinity” bit, it’s not impossible because it’s a big number, it’s impossible because it’s not a number at all, it’s a concept.

Had one like that at our local train station carpark, they’d forgotten to put the handbrake on and the car had slowly rolled out of its spot

Laughed at this a lot harder than I should, my wife is now giving me the “what stupid thing are you looking at” face.

Bravo

John Farnham was incredible live, but a special shout out for his version of Help, the one with the orchestra backing (edit: Melbourne Symphony).

For me he’s up there with the best male vocalists ever, Help was the last song after 3 hours or so on stage and you can tell he’s loving every moment as much as the crowd are. The album version is excellent but the live one…

Assume you were using “BeamNG” as a verb, as in “that car has been BeamNGd!!”

This worked for me when I was first setting up Proxmox.

Yeah this is what I do. All the important or irreplaceable stuff easily fits on a USB HDD, and I leave one with a friend I visit regularly. I just run three drives total and no more than two of them are in the same place at the same time. Cheap, simple, and a good excuse to catch up.

Always assumed it was a printer

I bet Video Chess is pretty shit as an LLM too.

Wish people would stop desperately looking for ways to write buzzword stories

Maybe they organised a pizza lunch for the survivors

Same actually, I got Witcher 3 as part of a console bundle and played it for a short period, not sure exactly how long but I got to the first of I’m sure many fights with a dragon. Found it really unintuitive, by the time I got frustrated enough to bother doing a web search I’d lost interest. Tried a couple of times after and just got the cbf’s every time.

From your earlier posts it’s clear that you’ve had a rough trot, you have things to work through and, dare I say it, a lot of growing up to do.

I hope you get the help that you need.

Went to one the other day, no snags out the front. Devo

the research I came across

Immature chuckle

Is this interrupted a Star Trek marathon you were streaming from your Linux server you are hereby Lemmy royalty

“It crashed!”

“Yes but it did it all by itself!”

Tupac, no!!

… whatever

I do remember there was a site where you could check how well a game ran on linux

Is this the one? WineHQ AppDB

Speculators/inside traders betting on (more) favourable rule changes or a fat govt supply contract perhaps

There are many but I find “let’s double-click on that” particularly grating
