Spaghetti-rule-cation
  • I intentionally cook an outrageous amount of spaghetti to save some for later. We are not the same.

    If you want to cook exactly the right amount and don't have a spaghetti measurer just weigh them.

  • Slay the Spire 2 - Official Animated Reveal Trailer
  • Very excited about this! The new character looks really cool too!

    The Steam page also has some gameplay screenshots. It looks surprisingly similar to the first game, but as long as there’s enough new stuff I don’t mind.

  • Is TypeScript a fad or is my manager delusional?
  • I haven’t used Python since around the time when type hints first became a thing so I might be completely wrong here, but isn’t this because Python just generally ignores type hints? If you ran a static type checker like mypy over this it would complain right?

    Also, if you actually did anything with the list that you couldn’t do with a bool (e.g. len(value)), it would throw an error too because Python is actually pretty strict about types, just only at runtime. That’s why it’s usually considered to be strongly typed, although people don’t seem to agree what exactly that’s supposed to mean.

  • Any tips for reducing my car dependency beyond walking and cycling?
  • Don’t be afraid to use a car if you have to. Reducing car dependency is great, but if you live in a place without proper infrastructure it can be almost impossible to completely ditch your car. In that case I’d suggest becoming active in local politics to try to improve the situation.

  • What's the end state of Universes Beyond?
  • What are players who don’t like UB supposed to do when there are no Magic versions of those cards?

    If you're just playing with your friends you can just decide to not use them or make custom proxy versions for the cards you really want to play with. Or you can just play limited, either with a set that doesn't have any UB cards or with your own cube.

    Otherwise I guess you can either learn to live with them or just stop playing. For me it's mostly the latter. Universes Beyond, along with absolutely insane power creep especially in Modern and an overwhelming flood of increasingly expensive products have really taken the fun out of the game for me.

  • Will Microsoft drop the TPM requirement for Win 11 once Win 12 rolls around?
  • I've found some and it sucks if the one game that doesn't work well is one you play a lot. For me it's Trackmania. It works some of the time but often breaks. It seems like the issue isn't with the game itself but with Ubisoft Connect, which is pretty shit even on Windows. Very annoying.

  • Chinese Boarding Schools and the Indoctrination of a Generation
  • You're trivialising a serious issue. If you had actually read the article you'd know that they're definitely not just like any other public school and they're not just "teaching them Chinese and about society". It's an obvious and disgusting attempt to eradicate Tibetan culture.

  • [Rant] Very new to DND, not sure if my campaign sucks or if this game just isn't for me.
  • Don't listen to the people saying you should just quit. Talk to people first, especially the DM. Tell them about what kind of game you'd like to play. This is something that groups should generally do before they start a campaign (in what some people call session 0), especially if they've never played together. It's possible that the DM isn't consciously designing the sessions like this and is willing to change it up. Maybe they're even happy to get some feedback and the other players might also enjoy some more roleplay. Maybe the DM can't see themselves running a game like that, but another player would love to.

    If it becomes clear that the kind of game they want to play and the kind of game you want to play are incompatible, then it’s perfectly fine to say “this isn’t for me” and stop playing with them.

  • What is a popular book that everyone buys but nobody reads?
  • I rarely check people’s bookshelves but my experience has also been that people either don’t even know what it’s really about or they absolutely love it.

    But I guess it’s possible that some people buy it after reading LotR expecting more of the same and then give up after reading the first few pages of the Ainulindalë.
