It’s state by state in the US but there’s very few where smoking would be allowed in a restaurant left. Specifics are often down to the city level. They still allow smoking on outdoor patios in my city. There used to be provisions around tavern licenses where they could have smoking indoors in a room which had separate external ventilation but that’s really in the weeds of zoning. I think they’re trying to kill the few of these licenses remaining, too.

If you can find a chuck roast for cheap enough it’s pretty cost effective. Throw in a bunch of root vegetables (potatoes, carrots, parsnips, turnips, whatever you want) to cook with it and it extends how far your food dollar goes quite a bit. These usually take a fair amount of time overall but a lot of that time is not active time.

In the 80s it was. Nowadays you’d have to pass a background check.

No, that’s the costumee.

I’m not a huge fan of it still but at this point it’s not a bad game, just not to everyone’s taste (which btw seems to be true of most open world survival crafters… I’ve noticed that being a fan of any one of those games is a poor predictor of whether you’ll be a fan of any of the others).

I do think that they were locked into some bad design decisions from early on even with all the extra work they’ve put in.

The “not that there’s anything wrong with that” episode of Seinfeld kind of summarizes the attitudes at the time. I don’t think the majority of millennials ever were against gay people (I’m sure there were exceptions regionally) but there was heavy stereotyping, which of course was a form of othering. And yeah the 90s were very no filter in general. At this time people viewed poking fun as a form of acceptance. But it took some time for the stereotypes to die down.

The whole concept of “Queer Eye for the Straight Guy” was so weird and very of its time. And that was considered pretty progressive at the time.

I recently upgraded to a 5800x3d which is pretty killer for gaming. AM4 is a very nice platform. I didn’t scrap this cpu on purpose, it just kinda stuck to the heatsink and I accidentally sent it flying when I detached it. 💀

I dunno if it’s gorier but I keep a Ryzen 5 3600 on my desk as a fidget toy.

What ends up happening in reality is that the tariff cost is effectively shared between the company selling and the customer (but not evenly). The company realizes that sales will plummet if the new price is $2, so they shave margin on their end to bring the price down to e.g. $1.75. But there’s obviously a lot of complexity behind exactly how much of the tariff cost is borne by the customer and the seller and it will vary by industry.

Is there a particular reason you need a brand new model? I tend to look at flagships that are a year or two old.

Some of the apps add this as a feature client side. For example I know sync has this. Not aware of it on the web site though.

Mind you, news subs are depressing right now for a reason.

Hard to spend money without an economy though. You’d have to bring some form of physical wealth with you.

I’ve wondered why Disney hasn’t moved into that field, but I bet they look at MS’s experience as a huge cautionary tale. Massive company, very tech savvy, was willing to spend a ton of money to get a big boost in the industry…and 20 years later was it worth it? Disney’s main thing is its valuable IP, not software. Games studios don’t really integrate that well with the rest of their business. AAA games get more expensive to produce every day, even moreso than blockbuster movies. Probably more profitable to license their IP to the highest bidders and let other companies shoulder the risk.

The arcade beat’emup wasn’t bad

I seriously doubt most normies would enjoy Lemmy. But sh.itjust.works seems pretty middle of the road.

This is a little on the nose but I still laughed.

Yeah I mean it’s probably possible to live underground on Mars (assuming an infinite budget) but there’s not a lot of compelling reason to dig on Mars instead of just… On earth.
