On Saturday, I topped my second shot on a par 5 with my 3 wood so bad, it went 10yds towards the pin... but also 30yds behind my back, right into the neighboring hole's fairway bunker.

Sorry for the necro, but it's still not there, isn't it? I get a grid on the general library tab, as soon as I click on the artist tab, I get that utterly useless infinite loading list.

My PCs have only ever been on the floor. I keep my desk real estate for things like monitors, good speakers, MIDI controllers and peripherals.

You're thinking too logically for publicly traded companies, which most major game publishers are. The only real mission of a public company is generating capital gains/dividends and therefore increasing shareholder value - the rest is secondary.

Also, let's not forget how EA has had a bad reputation amongst gamers for years at this point, yet taking a look at their historical revenue growth doesn't really reflect any of that. https://www.macrotrends.net/stocks/charts/EA/electronic-arts/revenue

Yeah, fair enough. Still kind of a silly thing for Apple to focus on IMHO, considering the questionable stability of their latest couple of macOS releases, but hey, why not haha.

What mac that doesn't cost as much as my last 3 builds combined has a half decent gaming GPU though

How isn't the dad dealing with a literal fire the one that's dealing with something traumatic here

Sanders would be a pretty run of the mill social democrat in most places but the US lol

folkrav

Oh my, with 99% of white males basically sharing the same 3 haircuts, that must be... interesting

Eeeh. Plenty of shitty unstable platforms hosted on AWS lol

folkrav

Yeah, at the rate they've been going, that's a a day or two at most :) Hang on tight!

As it's getting more expensive and being treated as a second class citizen as virtually none of the newer features are exposed through the API, one could make the point it in practice is being killed off.

Playing on those terrible hard sand bunkers is basically like playing shitty driving range foot mats. Gotta hit it pure or suffer.

I don’t know why this is in this sub as anyone familiar with the history of MACY’s

Are you implying it's somehow surprising that the groups "frequents /r/mildlyinteresting" and "is familiar with the history of Macy's" don't significantly overlap? Why would I, or anyone outside the US, know much at all about Macy's?

Wait... It took until 1987 for someone in London's fire department to figure out fighting fires in woolly coats isn't the greatest of ideas?

I'm a lead developer at a smaller company, we literally just spoke with an AWS engineer a couple of weeks back, who pointed us to a solution that would cut our Cognito pricing by a good half after telling him about our current usage, the problems we face with it, and our needs.

Depending on this person's experience, this comment could be either wholly misinformed, or plain malicious.

The "Both Sides" problem is a byproduct of American politics/bipartisanship. I'd really love it if we stopped applying American politics to everything all the time...

Simpsons it is. The boys get signed to a Boy Band and their biggest hit turns out to be a subliminal song to get kids to join the Navy.

Same but for Sync here

Ah with the last ones I go in order of preference

folkrav

What makes you say it's bullshit, exactly?

folkrav

Eh. As a team lead, I'll tell you I'll take an average developer who's nice to work with and takes his job seriously any day over a so-called 10x developer who ruins it for everyone. The 10xers that do get along with people are even rarer, and those are the real unicorns everyone wants to hire.

I used to work with one of those. Then they left, and things got better - we lost the direct result of their productivity level, but everyone else's went way up, and everything got better from there.

I'm pretty sure they put that Giant camp right there just to fuck with overconfident noobs who just slain their first dragon. The placement is too convenient to be pure luck lol
