“There’s a promising new procedure for treatment of genu varum.”

“Great. When do we start?”

“FALCON PONCH!!!”

This is the way.

I witnessed the other side of that phenomenon. The babies ate the mom.

For real. Nothing in the real world works like he’s portraying it.

I could see someone having a dwindling libido for unrelated reasons and confabulating a false narrative like this one to explain it. (Though even if he truly believes what he’s saying, it’s likely due to exposure to #nofap nuts.)

I’m just saying I could do it with two. One-and-a-half in a pinch.

“The gameplay is tedious, plot is boring, and the graphics could use some work. 2/10 would not recommend.”

What’s Jenny’s number again?

Pfft. Amateur.

The racing game accessories companies probably pay racing sim game development companies billions of dollars a year.

But you can’t make stroganoff out of corn. :(

I’ve got this trick. Basically, I start relaxing the muscles on the way to the restroom. Not enough that there’s any chance I’ll piss myself before I get there. Just enough that by the time I’m in front of the urinal, it’s not difficult to start the stream quickly.

There was this one time I felt kindof bad about. went to the restroom where I worked (back before I was working remotely) and used “the trick” as usual. I get there, and there’s a guy at one of the urinals already. I peed, flushed, washed my hands, and left the restroom before he produced a drop.

Of course, in all likelihood, “the trick” won’t continue to work so well as my beard grows grayer, and some day I’ll be the other guy.

So shitposts are fine?

I’ve been training my whole life for this.

Sometimes we purposefully make computers do nondeterministic things on purpose. Hardware random number generators, for instance.

But not counting those situations, speedrunners often call some of the “other factors that just absolutely cannot be accounted for” kind of stuff that rethnor is talking about “RNG”.

But even aside from that, there are some even less deterministic cases. Also from speedrunning, there’s the famous SM64 upwarp that my have been, but probably wasn’t a cosmic ray, but very likely was some kind of hardware failure that wouldn’t be accounted for by only considering how the N64 is supposed to work (given processor architecture and such).

But an example I find even more interesting. There was a Defcon presentation where someone registered domain names that were one bit different from very frequently used domain names, kindof like typosquatting, but these were for domain names that no human was typing. These were domain names that computer programs were hitting, and the domain names weren’t derived from user input. But his one-bit-off domain names got a significant amount of traffic. Just from random memory corruptions and such due to some variety of weird hardware failures.

I’d be skeptical of anyone I know claiming that they’d actually personally encountered something they knew to be truly non-deterministic in hardware that wasn’t in some way temporarily or permanently faulty or damaged in some way, but I think it is a thing that can happen in computers. And some of that nondeterminism comes from sources that actually do act at quantum scales were true nondeterminism isn’t unlikely to have sway.

Probably just that he’s already spent 4 years getting a bachelor’s degree and only now finds out it’s insufficient to land a job and now he has to do more school and cross his fingers that improves his job-seeking situation. (It should, but so should a bachelor’s degree.)

Honestly, “what’s wrong with a master’s degree” is almost as good a question, except that it would likely require going into more debt than trade school would.

I didn’t check your spelling either, but I think you did about as good as I could have. Lol.
