These headsets are designed to remove you from reality, while you are still in it.
How does AR/MR do that? Phones are more about that than AR/MR. Or even newspapers, which very rarely are about the thing you are actively doing and can be used as a physical barrier to separate you from other people. Unlike a pair of glasses...

    Why not at the pro level?

    Imagine on top having very sensitive information from your medical records public. Imagine you are dropped out of the most prestigous top athlete bracket, because your body fat ratio increased half a percent too much after you had an injury.

    Isn't that already a thing for sports with weight classes? Having fairer matches makes things more interesting in all divisions.

    You don't even need more divisions. Just more precise ways of making them.

    It gives no more information than body fat percent. Unless you're already making an assumption about body fat %, muscle %, height, etc, you can't guess someone's weight from the outside.

    For the top end of cycling (and probably other endurance sports), things like V02max for top athletes seems be pretty common knowledge already. But I'm not sure how objectively that can be measured if someone is intent on suppressing it to stay in a certain bracket. So height would still probably be more useful, at least for flats.

    Imo, either make divisions based directly on factors that matter, which varies from sport to sport but most often comes down to things like height and weight, or get rid of them.

    Clockwise/counterclockwise still depends on which way you are looking at it. Sometimes you have to unscrew things from the other side.

    At least in the US, it seems pretty standard. Never worked retail myself, but everyone I know has hated it. Certainly a lot would like to imagine doing this kind of thing (but few actually would).

    Basically my experience. 90% of my job is unchanged, but I have to deal with extra emails and making sure there's toilet paper. Granted, I'd never bring up 2 week notices. Companies will not ensure that for workers, so workers should make fun of those companies for suggesting that. Hell, my mom's work asked if she'd give them 6 months noticed because they were understaffed and the other staff couldn't do their jobs and she laughed at her boss and told them they wouldn't do that for her.

    Jokes are not allowed in the Memes community.

    Dyson sphere is been in EA for years as well, and its probably going to be in my top 3 games for 2024 (which is when I started playing - at almost 200 hours), alongside Palworld, also in EA. Palworld can still be a bit buggy (maybe yesterday's update fixed some of that?) and DSP expects a much better CPU than I have (which is mostly a me problem, given my CPU is coming up on 10 years old but is a problem eventually for everyone at the extreme late-game I think)

    Average happiness would still be happiness. Unhappy would be not happy, but not necessarily sad either. There's lots of different ways to be unhappy other than being sad. Unfair just means something isn't fair. But something being fair is often treated as a binary. Tall and short isn't a binary, so simply not being tall doesn't mean something is short. But in the context of a joke like this, I'd assume "not tall" would be used to be as a comedic understatement.

    Given how dell AC adapters are the only ones that I know of with an extra wire that functionally just acts as drm, it's not surprising they do the same with batteries.

    Even HP's elitebook I got (6th Gen Intel CPUs) work no problem with third party batteries and HP has all of the drm printer nonsense. Curiously if their modern elitebook have battery drm yet.

    Was it your personal computer or a company managed computer? Either way, when to automatically start updates is just a setting that's easily set. As is the "pause updates for X weeks" so that you have more weeks to do an intentional reboot. There might be some major security patches they've forced through anyways? But I don't think I've had any windows update issues since like 2017 or 2018.

    Why do you think it's so sparsely populated? What's keeping people so far from each other? Is it just Houstonians are their own species and can't stand to be in areas over a certain population density?
