My superpower is not having hangovers 🗿 🗿 (for now)

39 and still don't understand why people complain. Just hydrate, poop, eat, poop again, go back to normal.

TheAlbatross , to Comic Strips in Drinking in your 20s vs 30s [Sarah Anderson]

Have a Gatorade before and after you drink.

There ya go, fellow 30-something party people, saved ya a hangover, just hope with that no one suggests a venue change to the club at 11:30

GBU_28 ,

Absolutely not gonna help lol

TheAlbatross ,

Most of the hangover is just dehydration, so the Gatorade really does help a lot. Pedialyte or a different sports drink would do similarly, but also getting in shape, sleeping right, drinking plenty of water on the days you're not drinking helps mitigate the issues with a little indulgence just fine.

But, everyone is different so your milage may vary.

I get it, but speaking as someone who used to design kitchen layouts for a living: Don't put your sink in the corner. Just don't.

Also, this has one major "feature" above and beyond the usual diagonal sink in a corner cabinet, in that you can swivel the faucet into the middle position and dispense water directly onto your floor. Genius!

swivel the faucet into the middle position and dispense water directly onto your floor

Or directly into a bucket.

Kusimulkku ,

How often I'm filling buckets vs. how often I'd accidentally spill water on the floor.

Would be a bad idea for me

Sparrow is staying with us this week and she's making it extremely difficult to Lemmy right now

Also been taking quite the interest in my knitting (as well as favourite pastime, leaving soggy bits of carrot all over the floor)

Mnemnosyne , to Comic Strips in The problem solver [workchronicles]

That's one of those paradoxes with human behavior around problems. If you put in effort to resolve the problem before it becomes significant, either no one notices, or they claim your effort was unnecessary because it wasn't a problem in the first place.

Y2K bugs are a great example. Lots of effort, time, and money was spent ahead of time to prevent it from becoming a problem...and you get people claiming the whole thing was just nothing to be worried about at all and the expense was pointless.

what's Y2K bugs exactly?

Aceticon ,

Dates with the year stored as two digits only (say, 1995 was stored as "95"), which worked fine for things like comparisons (for example: "is the year in entry A before or after the year in entry B?") which were just done by numerical comparison (i.e. 98 > 95 hence a date with a year ending in 98 is after a date with the year ending in 95), until 2000 were the year being store would become "00" and all those assumptions that you could compare those stored years as numbers would break, as would as all the maths being done on two digits (i.e. a loan taken in 1995 would in 1998 be on its 98 - 95 = 3rd year with that system, but in 2000 it would be on its 98 - 00 = - 98th - so negative - year which would further break the maths downstream with interesting results like the computer telling the bank it would have to give money to the lender to close the loan).

Ultimatelly a lot of work was done (I myself worked in some of that stuff) and very few important things blew up or started producing erroneous numbers when the year 2000 came.

cholesterol , to Mildly Infuriating in This concept for budget double decker airline seating

This seems incompatible with a pretty high proportion of Americans.

TheDarkKnight ,

Y'all getting kinda thicc too, no offense.

Cryophilia ,

It's funny because you don't know which country he's from but it still applies anyway because everyone is getting fatter

Gordon doesn't seem to have a problem with the workers as long as they're doing their jobs. It's usually the managers he gets the most angry with.

AllonzeeLV , to Memes in For what purpose have you summoned me?

I would like to sell my soul in exchange for dominion over the Earth!

"Sorry dude... not with that soul.

Best I can do is assistant manager at the Arby's down the street. I'll even throw in some heroin, you're gonna need it."

My 5 and S look the same

RQG ,
@RQG@lemmy.world avatar

My 5s are apparently unreadable for most people. Whenever someone asks me what that sign or letter is on anything I wrote I will say it's a 5 without looking. They'll say how I didn't even look. But it's always correct.

thefartographer ,

Your 5 is just a fucked up b, right?

RQG ,
@RQG@lemmy.world avatar

No, it's a 5. Idk why people don't see it.

STUPIDVIPGUY ,

attach pic of your 5 and let lemmy judge

@Darth_Vader__@lemmy.world avatar

Of course piracy preserves old games. Also piracy is not a problem when it is miniscule. The issue is when piracy becomes the norm, so that these companies will be pushed towards more locked systems (consoles exclusives) and abandon PC. Some may even call for androud style locking up on PC.

Or Nintendo:

"Stop pirating our old games!!!!!"

Okay, then sell me one of your old games.

"No."

MooseBoys , to Comic Strips in Think of who you're hurting before you consider piracy.

a game I made in 1995

a game someone else made in 1995 which was later hostilely acquired by EA only to see it immediately fire all staff and shutter the studio

FTFY

atnqty , to Comic Strips in Think of who you're hurting before you consider piracy.

It's probably not even made by EA but some company that made good game before being acquired by EA
