Very true. I usually binge videos for whatever game I’m currently playing.

I like watching Nilhaus play factory games so I can learn some new ways to better organize my logistics. That’s a big one.

I’ve never played Europa Universalis IV but I love watching videos of it.

God I hated that change so much. I only play 2v2 ranked with my buddy now. I never play anything else anymore.

There was no reason to ruin casual like that. I remember all the whiners on the RL subreddit saying crap like “I want to play a full match with a team!” and all I could think was, then go fucking play ranked! They like to drop terms like “not sweating” to justify ruining casual. Really?? If you don’t give a crap about ranking then who cares what ranking you are in ranked matches? Just go play ranked! And if you’re that mentally weak, then yell at epic to let you hide your ranking from being displayed after matches instead of ruining an entire game mode.

I miss having a zero commitment game mode that I can pop in while waiting for my buddy to take a dump or something. Now casual is just ranked without the ranking. It still has mmr, you can’t leave without bans, it’s absolutely pointless and might as well not exist. Let me go get my ass slapped by a grandmaster! Or let me show off to a bunch of bronzies. It hurts no one.

Okay, very confusing question…

So, assuming you want to know how heavy only the “solid at room temperature” elements of the sun are, let’s try this.

The sun is 1.989 × 10^30 kilograms.

According to this: https://www.thoughtco.com/element-composition-of-sun-607581 we can see the % of total mass for each element.

• Element % of total atoms % of total mass
• Hydrogen 91.2 71.0
• Helium 8.7 27.1
• Oxygen 0.078 0.97
• Carbon 0.043 0.40
• Nitrogen 0.0088 0.096
• Silicon 0.0045 0.099
• Magnesium 0.0038 0.076
• Neon 0.0035 0.058
• Iron 0.030 0.014
• Sulfur 0.015 0.040

Doing the math and removing the “gas at room temperature” elements… the total mass would be:

1.7901 * 10^28 kilograms

Note: Pretty sure I’ve messed something up here in the calculations but the mass is so ridiculously heavy that I don’t think it really matters.

Looking forward to raging while I jump rope at 120fps!

Not in IT, but in software dev and I have some of the same issues dealing with support calls. I usually start off with “I’m sure you’ve tried some of this, so sorry in advance but can you… <insert super basic troubleshooting shit here>”. Seems to always get them to humor me and try doing things like restarting the computer and/or software.

I spent nearly 6-7 years developing control systems applications in LabVIEW. While I loved working in LabVIEW, I don’t wish LabVIEW was more popular, but I would love to see a graphical programming language take off. The dataflow paradigm is really interesting to work with.

Yes, both my wife and I’s phones died in the same way. Register touch, but no screen.
