Gee I wonder what rating this game has

Walmart sometimes sells utensils individually in store, they're loose in bins with a little plastic price barcode attached

Financial stress, no, but there can absolutely be other stressors that come with such a job or make it otherwise difficult, especially if one cares about the quality of their work and the lives of their patients. Doubly-so if insurance companies seem to be actively hampering those efforts and make one feel more like a cog in a profit machine than an expert in one's field.

3.5 Their lawyer successfully argues that, while the AI is the product, the company shouldn't be held accountable for their product ~~lying~~ hallucinating because it would set a bad precedent for the industry

It doesn't matter what your platform is if it's not communicated effectively to the median voter

They also don't have nipples (though do have mammary glands) and mother platypuses basically sweat milk through their skin for the pups to collect off their fur

The scaled down rectangle should be narrower; it's not scaled in this diagram, it's squished.

(Yes I know you can 'scale' objects on one axis but that's usually not how it's taught on an introductory level. Standard scaling assumes object similarity, which is not present in the diagram's 'scaled' rectangle.)

Most of these I smile at because they're silly, cute and interesting, but this one got a genuine chuckle out of me :)

What a phenomenal country to allow this sort of thing to occur at all

A "privacy" company acquiring and centralizing various projects to be under its umbrella seems kind of worrisome to me even if it's done with pure intentions.

I mean, there is the argument that if they bioaccumulate in the blood, it's worth removing periodically even if it doesn't stop new intake

I use Firefox whenever I can.

On first install of the browser I usually end up following a hardening guide which includes stuff like blocking cross site cookies, setting a few things in about:config to disable Pocket/etc, and installing uBlock Origin. I've taken what I consider a relatively balanced approach, I don't use anything like noScript, uMatrix, etc that ultimately just cost a lot of time fiddling to get the 10th website of the week working.

I've been more or less fine browsing the web this way for years, but around the start of 2024 I've started seeing way more "Access Denied" pages than I used to. I think part of it is Cloudflare or similar, but I don't know exactly what's changed or what's triggering it to occur.

It usually goes away and I can re access the site in 10-30 minutes as usual, but I've had it occur in really weird instances, such as trying to change my Minecraft skin and getting blocked by the website. The server block often goes away immediately if I switch my user agent, so I know that it has something to do with how I've got everything set up.

Not sure what anyone else's experience with this has been. I'd like to hear some of your thoughts and tips

Hot take:

Every time I see a Doctor Seuss parody that doesn't respect the very strict meter that made his stuff flow so well, it's always followed by about five minutes of me trying to fix it and then stopping because that was supposed to be the author's responsibility. You can sneak in an extra syllable here or there, and there will be situations where it's ambiguous based on word pronunciation, but any more than two syllables off and you should've workshopped it some more.

Take all of these matters most seriously
The gravest of grave should be clear
To step out of meter where any could see
Will only get side-glancing sneers

And who, then, shall patch up this unfinished road
Assembled with half-baked word stones?
'Tis not my intent but I think it's best flowed
With a concrete from Onceler's old bones

To summarize for anyone who would rather not watch the video, there are always exactly 4 "events" in a wildwood instance. While any specific event is randomly selected, their locations are always around the far North, South, East, and West of the area. If you can find two events, especially if they're perfectly horizontal or vertical from each other, it becomes much easier to find a third and possibly fourth. After you find the first, all you have to do is look for the remaining spots of the 'diamond', following wisp trails to make an educated guess.

I thought this was pretty useful information, especially if you're trying to maximize wisp collection to juice your maps or find more nameless creatures to complete quests.

Blahaj PoE sub created (self.pathofexile)
submitted 11 months ago by Ashelyn to c/pathofexile

Hi everyone!

I decided to create this sub as an alternative to other Path of Exile discussion boards on Lemmy, since most of them were pretty dead (not that another sub on another instance will fix that, but why not ok?) There was also a weirdly long propagation time for posts of mine to show up on the other instance's board, so I'm hoping that won't be as much of an issue with this one here.

For now I've created the sub icon (and I guess this welcome message too).

Any questions about the game are welcome! I'm not exactly an expert or anything but I've gotten through most non-uber endgame content and am part of a guild that is also very knowledgeable about the game.

Thanks for reading!

Not my group but I know some of the people in it. Thought it might be worth sharing here!
