In your initial comment I thought you wanted to keep the design and only add an adjuster. I was merely pointing out that you’d need a new needle each time. My guess is that these things are designed for the lowest common denominator. Trusting that people are actually going to replace the needle between dosages is probably a bad idea.

That would mean reusing a needle, which is not sanitary or safe. Now if they did a design like those multi colored ink pens from middle school, that would be different.

Needs 2/3rds Senate super majority to leave NATO

You can look up the minutes from the exact meeting where they discuss the wording of the amendment. There is an official record of these discussions. This exact question was asked and it was confirmed that the President is included. I don’t have a link atm, but someone posted it in another thread.

Schedule 3

Are these consequences in the room with us right now?

🍿🛋️ Ok, let's hear them.

I have friends that claim they "don't have hobbies" but the truth is that they spend all their time with their kids and working.

So if they say, "well I don't do much in the way of hobbies because I'm too busy working and taking care of my kids." You can then follow up with "well what do you do for work?" Or "what's the last vacation or outing you did with your kids?" Or "what are your kids interested in? How old are they? Tell me about their personalities."

The fact that they "don't have hobbies" isn't necessarily it backfiring, you then just need to pivot based on their answers. This is just a way to break the ice with someone.

Everyone spends their days doing things, you are really just asking them "how do you spend your time?" Everyone has an answer to that…unless they are in a coma.

I mean what Discords do you participate in? What Lemmy communities do you follow? What videos on YouTube do you like to watch?

You can reframe this and say, "I like to participate in online chat forums about the latest gaming news and technology (discord). I look for cool recipes and cooking techniques (Lemmy cooking community). And I love trying to find new funny comedians to listen to (YouTube)." I think if you narrow it down to the interests you enjoy, rather than "dicking around online" you'll find that you have interesting things to talk about.

Obviously those examples are my own, but I'm sure you use those platforms because they feed you certain content that you enjoy.

So what do you like to do for fun? Or, What are some of your hobbies?

I find these much better than "so what do you do for work?", which is what I'm asked constantly. "Yes, person who I don't know, let me discuss work during my free time with you."

You'll have to take up golfing then, because there is no way he won't be buried in his golf course for tax reasons. Also to charge an entry fee to all the saps willing to worship and pray to him

The rates of gun ownership between Switzerland and the USA are vastly different. USA ownership is almost double that of Switzerland.

I'm not denying your take that it's a multifaceted issue, but equating the gun ownership between Switzerland and the USA doesn't paint an accurate picture.

Good point, makes sense

This is a really interesting concept. What if developers had paid or ad supported official streams? Sure most people would block the ads or continue to watch their favorite streamer, but a non-zero amount of players might elect to watch the devs play the game in an effort to support them directly. And this would just be additive revenue compared to the zero they are getting right now on streams. It might even be synergistic as official advertisement for the game and as a way to connect directly to their community. I could see it also as a way to play a game but with director commentary on, similar to how movies do it.

Is it really half the game? That's crazy

Oddly enough those with the sickle cell trait (one abnormal gene and one regular gene) actually have protection against malaria. Those with sickle cell anemia (2 abnormal genes) unfortunately, do not.

I haven't played the beta yet but I'm hoping that The Finals, which is made by ex-Dice devs, will be a good alternative to Battlefield and COD. I just miss destructible environments so badly. Bad Company 2 was so so good back in the day.

I'm excited but I'm waiting for reviews first. I have a steam deck so I'm really just looking for some screen comparisons. I miss the haptics when remote playing the PS5 on the deck

We already experience this on earth to a degree. The moon causes the tides and shore dwelling ocean creatures have to contend with surviving during the high and low tidal periods. Not really weather per se, but it's something.

God of War Ragnarok about 6 hours in. And just started Returnal to play as my multiplayer game with a buddy online. Got to the first boss just myself and almost beat it. Love the vibe overall. I'll also probably start Spiderman 2 this week
