    Well, I pointed out the reason why your beginning comment is problematic. And as sp3tr4l pointed out, OP's link isn't even the one being referred to as the neo nazi.

    How about you just watch and make the call yourself? Nothing about the video made me think she's a neo nazi nor did I think she's a bigot. People are allowed to want and like different things. Just because they have different wants doesn't mean they should just get random negative label on them and then be hated without actually even seeing what they say.

    This is amateur advice. You can't lift with your knees for a bulky and squishy item like a body if it's in front of you. If you attempt this, you'll notice that your knees get in the way and you need to reach out a lot and can't lift as a result. Body isn't like gym weights on a perfectly nice to grab steel bar.

    If you don't actually have to lift at all, just drag it. And if you do, use a fireman's carry which is designed for carrying unconscious hoomans.

    Shoes have too much of a usage difference to go off of Amazon reviews. You don't know their lifestyle. For anyone that runs a marathon or similar exercise to have shoes that last over 3 months would be a miracle. Any typical big brands like adidas, Nike, etc lasts me many years if I only wear them lightly, like if I take the car. But if I exercise outside in them, they're not gonna last half a year. It's just usage dependent.

    Occasionally you might get a bad batch and glue comes off or stitching rips. That's inevitable bad luck. Though you can just get gorilla glue and glue it back yourself.

    Dress shoes is a different ball game. Get stitched build/welted, not glued on. That's usually a safe choice though expensive. These can be repaired and resoled, so you could wear them for 10+ yrs. Though getting bored of them might be an issue.

    Light weight shoes are also obviously going to not last. Like hey dude shoes. They're literally a single sheet of cloth. Easy to wash, but not going to last.

    Also stop trying to buy shoes from Amazon. Go wear shit and try them on.

    Which version is that? The original Skyrim (aka oldrim) isn't even purchasable on steam and hidden unless you bought it back then. But some people still play that because some old mods only support oldrim.

    Special edition is the main one now. It's holding 30k very steadily since 2020 https://steamdb.info/app/489830/charts/#breakdown

    Many of modders also moved to gog version, myself included. Because I can permanently version control on gog unlike stream.

    Most people don't actually understand how copyright works. And the actual right that's restricted is quite ridiculous but it is how it is...

    Copyright is not a right given to the copyright holder, unlike every other right in law. Copyright is a exclusion placed on every other human being on earth from reproducing what you did (except few countries that didn't sign it but practically no one lives there or is a territory that effectively works under another sovereignty which does). This distinction is very important. That is, everytime something is created, every other human now has less freedom since they could do that thing before but no longer can. So if I create an original bunny like character, that is copyrighted to me. But I could always depict that and so could you--had you thought of it. But now you no longer can.

    This means that virtually every thing made in relation to that original copyright becomes illegal unless you get permission from the copyright holder. There are exceptions such as transformative, parody, fair use, etc but I'll not get into that for now.

    In other words specific to this case, every game footage on earth is illegal. But they only continue to exist by the grace of the companies not telling them to take it down. Some companies actually write into their EULA/terms that fan content, etc may be allowed, but again, those are the exceptions. The rule of law is that everything is illegal to start. And that only the copyright holder and its agents be able to request a punishment for breaking the law.

    It's a system where it makes every normal human beings into a law breaking entity first and by doing so, it allows the copyright holder to punish anyone they see fit.

    This is not a frivolous DMCA. And even if it was, there has been no case where that was ever punished. Even outright perjury for DMCA--which I've dealt with thousands of times doesn't actually get punished in practise.

    Installer file is a direct link to an executable file from their website. They contain the full game inside the installer. There's no reason you can't download that on Linux as long as you have internet and a browser.

    I have a 10KV electric fence. 5KV to 15KV is typical electric fence voltage in a farm or bear prevention fence. Can't feel a thing unless you actually touch it.

    They are also not lethal. Very low current, just very high voltage. So it only hurts like fuck, but won't kill a human, cow, or any other mammal that touches it.

    Mehaffey also argues Shift Up and Sony's Stellar Blade trademark (filed in January 2023) is "confusingly similar" to his own Stellarblade trademark (filed in June 2023), citing similar colour schemes and a stylised 'S'.

    Wait... What? They filed for trademark AFTER Sony and now demanding this? That makes no sense. It sounds like Sony should sue them for trademark infringement instead.

    The most acid trippy book that survived to the current version! Bunch of books were removed over the ages when they thought it was too crazy.

    You should check out book of Enoch for extra trippy. It's largely about fallen angels and many batshit crazy games and novels spawn based off of it, like Xenogears (which is awesome but also considered the most convoluted story JRPG ever).

    I would assume that they are saying in a bigger scope and just happen to divide down to a ratio of 1 to 32.

    Like rendering in 480p (307k pixels) and then generating 4k (8.3M pixels). Which results in like 1:27, sorta close enough to what he's saying. The AI upscale like dlss and fsr are doing just that at less extreme upscale.
