Neat! All of this is making me sad about the current state of the franchise because I’m now wanting play through the first 3 again.

I thought it could go either way, like single installation or the entire array but no idea. They did fire the entire array and then reseeded life prior to the events of the first game from my understanding.

It’s been a while since I’ve gotten in the lore of Halo but my guess would be “hey passing by or living in proximity to this particular massive life destroyer 9000 ring is ok because this one has fired and cleared it’s part of the galaxy/system”. Probably a way to categorise which areas have had their rings triggered for traversal or flood surveillance. Like if three rings fired and each one was successively closer to a forerunner installation it could potentially be a form of early warning. Since all the Halos can be accessed/fired remotely from the Ark which was a forerunner repository of all sentient life. That said, rule of cool is a thing and delta halo does sound cooler than 04.

Well at least we agree on the foundational point then I guess. While agree that spray oil alone isn’t making or breaking anyone’s diet (and yes I have used it before) that again is beside the point. The fact that companies are even allowed to do, at all, is the entire point. It’s almost farcical that a company would, with a straight face, try to claim an oil product is 0 cal. Especially given the impractical serving sizes they’ve had to use to get that number. .25 second spraying would be enough to cover the baking paper area for one cookie at best.

People wouldn’t use spray oil for frying? So you think half a second (which is double the vague 1/4 second serving size suggestion for this btw) is all you use every time, because I seriously doubt that.

800 is more reasonable? That’s almost halving the amount of servings in the bottle off the jump. I’m confused what your point is here. No one is using only .25g of this stuff or spraying it .25 of a second. You wouldn’t even be able to cover both sides of a waffle iron with .5 second spraying. This, again, obviously a way to misrepresent the nutritional information of the product.

Do you seriously look at 0g of fat for an oil product and think “oh yeah, this seems legit”? Regardless of its use it still end up on your food (especially for waffles…), more than 0.25g is going to be used in a given meal and 0cal is obviously bs. Wild to see people advocating for companies using deceptive nutritional information because “um well actually 0.25g is a really small amount” which is almost entirely beside the point.

No problem. The only reason I know is from lazy/entitled property managers who expect to fleece people out of a significant portion of the money they work for and then just do nothing to earn it.

If you pay rent, you’re either paying someone mortgage or straight into their pocket. Keeping the place in a decent or at least liveable condition is the least these people can do. It’s literally their job title, manage the property or else you’d be just paying the property owner directly.

What doesn’t make sense is anyone pulling out a scale, accurate to that degree, to measure out 0.25g of oil. No one is realistically going to get 1532 serves out of that bottle. The serving suggestion may as well say “rubbing this on your face is 0 calories”, ok but if it’s used for salad or frying?

Most people are just going to see 0 cal, think it’s healthy and layer it into their food. As others have said, most countries having realistic servings and an easier to interpret per 100g/ml/whatever to prevent this sort of deliberate misrepresentation. Which stops companies dividing the product size by whatever number is needed to make it round to zero.

A statement perfectly crafted to send professors of undergrad courses into a fit of violent rage.

Sure, if you own it. If it’s a shared use machine like alluded to in OP, you leave it because it’s not your responsibility to maintain.

Most front ends have a drain pump filter to catch any debris from your clothes (hair, pocket lint, etc) so they don’t clog the drain hose. I don’t think they’re super common in top loaders though I’ve seen those have similar lint filters as well.

1. Probably not enough traffic or interest for one but you’re free to make one if you like. I wouldn’t mind having a comm for it.
2. This is covered by your rent/strata fees. Put it to them in an email that multiple machines have a notable foul odour and require sanitising, filter clearing and general maintenance. If you’re renting and the property manager doesn’t action your request, email them 1-2 two more times before escalating it to the relevant government body. Here we can even get electricians/plumbing done and have the bill reimbursed by the property manager/owner if they take too long.
3. Personally, don’t increase your labour/expenses to subsidise things other people are responsible for. If you’re getting this because of issue 2, get the property manager to sort it, it’s literally why you pay rent/strata fees. (See end).
4. No idea here so have a lame “wool wash?”

Landlords must:

• Maintain the tenant’s home in a good state of repair and fit for habitation and at the landlord’s expense comply with health, safety, housing and maintenance standards.

Canada seems similar to Aus in so far as there should some decent government resources to find your rights and obligations as a tenant and how to escalate an issue should you get an arsehole property manager that doesn’t do their job.

Is this packet tracer? Why have you done this? I’m very likely going to curse some people at work with this and it’s all your doing.

Man wtaf. Why would you even want to commemorate that and then fire people for talking about it. “Enjoy your burger, it’s a memento for the most traumatic day of my daughter’s life. Why no she doesn’t ever eat here, why do you ask?”

I’m either misreading this or confused. You asked the coworker or you were the one explaining it to the coworker? And got fired for explaining it?

Personally, I’d much rather have the choice than just have whatever gets slapped together and shipped by a dev. I’m particularly grateful having recently gone to 3440x1040p, just how many game support it and the options I can tweak to get my personal sweet spot of looks vs frames.

If there’s no low, med or high options that a lot of games ship with; no shame in searching “<game> best graphics settings” or some variant. I still do for some games when I can’t be arsed or when the performance sucks due to a random post processing effect being borked and tanking performance. Games are more complex than ever and with essentially endless permutations of hardware configurations, the graphics settings tend to reflect that.

That’s also a possible, but as I and any other person with an illness, mental or otherwise, can tell you. An illness isn’t you, it doesn’t define you. That doesn’t make it easier (or mean “gee thanks, I’m cured”). However, it’s worth noting the distinction and thinking about imo. I’m just some random internet arsehole so who gaf what I think but I think the past few comments are correct. You have value regardless. If you got to one place, even if it’s bad and made easier due to illness, there are ways to the other places. Even if incredibly difficult. Either way, I’m hoping you find that way, for whatever that’s worth.

Said people have usually gotten to that state of mind via their circumstances. Can it not stand to reason there exist circumstances to bring them to another state? One where they may realise that their circumstances (be it family or otherwise) aren’t necessarily a reflection of what they are or could be?

They don’t need to know you to know those facts. You were pretty close, it’s laissez-faire. Now you’ve learnt you have inherent value and the correct spelling. Onwards and upwards one little bit at a time, if you so desire.

Careful mate, he’s got a Pinterest. Clearly he means business.

Nooooo. Not the Pinterest!!! Lmao fucking dweeb
