  • This is such a high level description that it is a meaningless comparison. The fact that Fallout doesn't take itself nearly as seriously as Westworld is already a huge difference. Sometimes the implementation is what is valuable, not the idea.

  • I'm talking about the energy and resources to actually create and provide this service.

  • Depends on how much energy it takes. If it takes more resources than it frees, then I'd say it is not worth it.

  • I don't have experience with the coffeesock, but I have use the Hario Woodneck filters daily. My method is this: boil water, run hot water through filter, add grinds, then do normal pourover method (may want to adjust grind since it may drain faster). After brewing, dump grinds in compost, rinse filter, put filter in small jar. Pour leftover boiling water from kettle into jar. Store in the fridge until tomorrow. Periodically (preferably monthly), you should clean the filter by soaking it in a combination of water and a little Cafiza. You have to really rinse well after the soak, because you really don't want to taste that in your coffee. I have never used a Moccamaster, but I don't see why this filter wouldn't work for that since it takes V60 filters.

    This process is basically what Hoffman recommends. I personally prefer my coffee through this filter since I like the oils of the coffee, but don't really want the fines passing through the filter. That said, it does get very tedious sometimes; I have a metal filter that I use when I'm too lazy to go through this whole process. They aren't really much of a cost-saving or waste-reducing measure. It takes quite a few pourovers before you save money (though I dunno, maybe you buy really fancy filters) and paper coffee filters are compostable. The most cost-effective solution really is a metal filter. However I think the fabric filters produce the best coffee IMO, but I'd imagine people who prefer lighter roasts might actually prefer the paper filters.

  • Probably because depending on the context "Christians" is likely referring to "Protestants." There are some very significant differences between Catholic and Protestant Christianity, moreso than between Protestant denominations, whose differences tend to be a bit more trivial. Other comments make some good points, but it is not too far of a stretch to say that Catholicism may be different enough to be considered a separate religion (I don't know who gets to draw these lines). But in the most technical sense, yes, Catholics are a subset of Christians.

  • You're ironically perpetuating a myth that cast iron needs special care. You can clean cast iron with soap just like anything else. You just have to make sure it isn't wet for extended periods of time

  • Can't find the full quote, but there is a scene in the movie Calvary where a guy at a pub tells the main character (a priest) a story about a boy rendered blind, deaf, mute, and paralyzed, going into excruciating detail about the hell he must be in. Truly a messed up thing to tell another human. Highly recommend watching the movie.

  • How do you get AI to change its answer when one researcher discovers what was generally accepted as fact is no longer true?

  • I use it in Japanese curry all the time. The goal is not to make it taste like coffee, but add a bit more boldness.

  • Feels like you should use cocoa powder or instant coffee/espresso instead. Seems like you're trying to add bitterness, but the fact that the chocolate you are adding also has sugar, it is making things more challenging to balance.

  • She's not in Link's Awakening or Majora's Mask off the top of my head. Pretty sure Link Is the only one who has been in all of themc

  • I'll definitely keep this in mind if I end up going back to the industry. Thanks!

  • Correct me if I am wrong, but this doesn't seem to work for devkits? Like if I want to run something on a PS4 devkit, I can't use parsec for that, can I?

  • Maybe the tools have changed since last I worked in the industry (or maybe we weren't good at using all the features), but I never saw that anyone had remote access to the devkits. I could remote into my workstation, but it surely was not the best way to work.

  • Not every dev is compiling code to run on a devkit

    Depends on the studio. There will be a lead platform, and if that platform is a console, then a majority will run on a devkit.

    surely they are not running a new build every day.

    In the studio I worked in, we ran new builds almost twice a day. That doesn't include the iterative changes you make if you are a programmer. If you don't run new builds contantly, that means you aren't doing any actual work if you are on the engineering side. If you are in art you might not really screw around with too many builds. If you are a director or producer, you might not either if you're bad at your job.

  • I actually don't like their games. I am speaking as someone who used to work for a AAA, both before and during COVID shelter in place

  • Tbh, game studios often require special equipment such as dev kits and high-end PCs for development. It makes sense that they might not want to send this equipment home, especially if it is an unreleased console"s dev kit. Game studios honestly seem more justified in not having WFH

  • Honestly don't understand this take. I am the "straight-edge" friend in my group, and I've always tagged-along regardless of whether they were smoking weed or drinking. You can always order a soda or a snack.
