@scribus It took about 4 hours to evacuate about 5000 people out of the area. Then it took another 3 hours to get rid of the bombs including interruptions.
The legendary German efficiency is more a legend now. Living here you'll see that there is a lot left on the table when it comes to efficiency. The biggest and most visible joke are the trains that are always late or don't work when there is any kind of weather. -
@scribus i just had to spend $1500 to fix my car so same

@scribus update on this: apparently she had somewhat successfully lied her way into the position she was in. She’d been hired as a deli clerk and was transferred to my store after basically becoming to much for the previous store to handle (thanks for that, guys!). Then when she got here she concocted this plan to basically act like she’d been promoted with the hopes that we’d give her the pay of an assistant manager for at least a while before we found out. Her refusal to answer most of my questions was because she didn’t want me finding holes in the story, like her refusal to tell me what store she came from was to stop me from contacting her previous manager and finding out that she was just a deli clerk - before the whole thing went down I had already figured out what store she was from because… it was listed under her file, which I genuinely can’t believe she didn’t think I would check. Before I was able to ask the manager there about her though, she’d already been fired.

@scribus I have hundreds of hours in the first one and the second one is driving me absolutely insane because of how much more in-depth it is, I can’t approach things the way I did in the first game because the first game didn’t have apple like air pollution, so now I gotta not put my factories upwind of a suburb. This is a good thing, I get sort of complacent in how I game, it just surprised me how much the game tries to kick old players’ asses in some regards.

@scribus Virginia. Kentucky. Louisiana. Only three states in the entire country where this is an annual thing. Can you imagine the junk mail volume? It’s a lot.

@scribus true story: the fact that my store only has a kosher SECTION, rather than a kosher AISLE, resulted in me being called an antisemite by some elderly Jewish lady, like a) I was the one who decided this, and b) the section wasn’t as large or larger than the halal, latino, Italian, Japanese, German, etc sections on the same aisle

@scribus It apparently happened while I was off yesterday so I don’t even really know what happened. I left work on Monday and she was there, I come back this morning and she’s gone and suing the company.
-
@scribus She didn’t even want me to verbally tell her her schedule, she wanted it written down so she could take a photo and then she shredded the paper, there’s something going on there

@scribus Is watching a YT video so different from reading up on a strategy guide back in the day? I try to avoid guides but there are times when the game isn't fun and I want to get to the fun again without the road block.
-
It's almost like I'm good at this and not at all that I watched YouTube videos of people winning and ever-so-slightly might've cheesed the strategy just a bit <_<;

@scribus OOOHHHHH and on Hard mode now, too!? With an achievement 0.1% of players got??

@scribus it sort of feels like if Mondo Media was told they had to keep it PG and not everybody was on board with it

@scribus i noticed not only this but also the usage (or implied/cut off usage) of offensive words for shock comedy has also been back on the rise since wound 2021 or 2022, and very little complaints about it unlike before. Not certain what the cause of he change in attitudes was.

@scribus not that I really followed his career, but “probably deserved it” is one of my all time favorite replies to any angry tweet ever
-
@scribus I know it's disrespectful to laugh about other people's names and dead ones but I've read that as "Dick Buttkiss".

@scribus Unity is in the red for years and buying Weta wasn't cheap so they were grasping for the most stupid decision to gain (repeatable) revenue by choosing to get paid by the amount of installs of the games. The problem is that indie game developers have very little profit and it can cost more in the long run than it gained profit. Also the way to determine the amount of installs is not clear. The last information I heard was that Unity wanted to use a heuristic to guess the amount of installs. Also Unity did that decision out of nowhere and tried to cover their tracks by sneakily removing paragraphs in their license that would hinder that license change. Unity had image problems (being used for asset-flip games, taking a lot of time for updates and being behind on the technical side) before but that was a huge kick in the balls to devs and all people who bought games made with Unity.

@scribus game crashes if it has access to too many resources on this one minigame in this one version of the game so I have to throttle it to keep from going insane while I’m fishing.

@scribus Typed an entire response about how ASL would probably be the harder one only to realize that my reasoning applies to braille, not ASL. I found ASL somewhat easy to learn (could not use it today, though) and I’m crazy bad with foreign languages so maybe the answer’s in there somewhere?
-
@scribus Haha. Nah. I think they are there to reduce the eye sore of the out of place looking buildings.
-
@scribus In my city there are some but you have really look for them, as most of them are hidden. I used google maps today to look up where they are and I'm surprised that there are more than I thought. Even a place I regularly drove by had one and I didn't know until now. There are no big signs or like that. Most of them are near parks and they are hidden behind bushes.
-
@scribus since I did end up paying the fare, I guess it’s by design in this case. DC metro has a $2 maximum fare on weekends, and you only pay when you actually leave the metro system, so if I had just held it all the way back home I’d have gone from the far end of one line in Maryland to the far end of another line in Virginia and only paid $2 for the roughly hour and a half journey. Instead I paid four dollars because I had to leave that one station for five minutes.

@scribus I want the ivy to be exterminated. I don't allow it to have a second chance on my land. The main stem at one spot was as thick as my ring finger.
-
@scribus Yeah. Preserving jars are almost the same in that regard. It's cheaper to just buy stuff that's sold in a preserving jar than to buy them empty. A family member has some apple trees and the preserving jars I collected were used to preserve apple sauce made from these apples.
