If chess can be a mental sport there's no way in hell that Starcraft isn't. The mindgames and insane amount of instant control and choice making is crazy. Sure professional chess players attempt to go as quickly as possible but they could take their time if they wanted in Starcraft a fraction of a second can be the difference between winning or losing in a battle that you are controlling hundreds of variables

Meanwhile my costco milk seems to want to last a week+ past the date making me suspiciously sniff and sip it every time after the date
Devices became ever more locked down for developers. Between bootloaders that can't be unlocked and drivers that have to be reverse engineered it's just too hard to develop custom roms now.
There were always some devices like that but now it's most of them

Land with a view is still available at possibly reasonable prices! You just have to be willing to be VEEEEEERY rural with the nearest tiny town being 30+ out and nearest real city 1hr+
You really can't glean the information just by looking at it if you've literally never seen one before in your life. It's hard to Envision if you're just used to it, like I said I was a little slow to read it but I still know how I'm just not used to it so it's no longer instant . But I also can understand that if you've literally never seen one in your life and never had it mentioned to you you would really have no way to know what the difference between the big or the small hand was.
Now if you did sit and stare at it for long enough you could eventually figure it out as the hands moved but most people aren't going to sit there and stare at a clock for 10min to try and figure it out.
At the end of the day even mundane things can be a skill, and I do agree that there is a substantial lack of critical thinking as the generations go on it was a problem already in my generation much less these latest ones. All That No Child Left Behind and standardized testing crap really destroyed schools hard it went from critical thinking to just memorize the answer or skip the question if you don't know, asking questions became bad and unfortunately that's going to follow you into adulthood
There is many reasons it happened but not being able to read analog clocks was not one of them. I'm sorry that it upsets you so much that I don't agree but I feel like there's a better way to express it than what you chose.
I genuinely don't know where I would even find an analog clock anymore outside of school and I haven't been in school for more than 20 years. genuinely do not remember the last time I've seen an analog clock, and I work in a lot of public government offices who are usually pretty far behind the times but even they use digital clocks. to the point that I just went to look had a picture of one and it actually takes me a second to read now.
I don't understand why people are so obsessed on holding on to knowledge that is not relevant to your daily life, digital clocks are objectively better at the task of telling the time and it's what exists everywhere in life now I don't really fault anyone for not being able to read an analog.
If I had to Hazard a guess I guess it's probably just a lack of empathy? Or maybe that's not quite the correct word but inability to put yourself in another's place. They can't Envision someone not having knowledge that they have unless that person is stupid.
Yeah I've been trying the avocado oil ones and I can't notice any difference
The heck are you talking about. My tuft and needle mint WITH the added cost of extra pillows and a sheet set wasn't even a full $2000 it's one of the best mattresses I've ever seen in my life I've had it for like 5 years now and there's still zero indication of any type of settling or imprinting on the foam, it's the perfect mix of firm supportive but comfortable and shape fitting. And every time I've seen a bed more expensive than that it's felt terrible and basically just been about buying the brand name or some stupid exotic material it's made of

Honestly this is probably one of the few things that if anyone else was doing it I would be fine with. The White House is a disaster plenty of accounts can be had from people that have worked there of what poor State it's in and how it's basically unsalvageable. We keep the outside looking nice but it's internal state was not great it was in need of a rebuild.
Problem is he's probably going to just replace it with like a skyscraper or something
I mean technically so are repos to some extent. Many of them have very few maintainers and you are basically just blindly trusting that they won't both miss anything malicious nor be the cause of it.
A little safer but not some ultimate Bastion of safety
You know it's funny I actually find that I like the esoteric Flags more . They just stick in my head as unique and I'm never wondering whether I do update or upgrade or anything else that might sound right. It's Syu, always has been :)
Sounds more likely that AUR fucked you. Which isn't pacman. I've often found people who hate "pacman" usually just hosed their system with the AUR
Pacman is the best for the simple fact that it's simple. APT, DNF etc get into the weeds with complex scripts trying to update databases and other nonsense that has caused apt/dpkg to obliterate systems for me too often (over like 10 years)
but pacman is about as close as possible to "unzip in place and go home" I've never had the actual pacman itself break a system. And the only broken update I've had is the stupid grub one which I solved by switching to systemdboot. On top of that even IF you somehow obliterated an arch system it's trivial to chroot in, use a statically built pacman, then reinstall all system packages with a single command.
I unironically use arch in critical production systems as i genuinely find it to be more reliable. Slap on some filesystem snapshots as a just in case for any bugs from updates (never had to use) and I have a system that is so much easier to use and i feel more confident doing updates
I mean A middle school student should understand why this won't work, so not much of an excuse
The problem is that by the time I have said that to them it's already to desktop. I cursed Myself by having an operating system that is fast and efficient and I also did not install 18 different applications that open at boot. So now I just feel left out from the group not waiting for my computer to finish booting :(

The funny part is the only reason I don't really want to work right now is because everybody fuckin sucks and makes it miserable. I'm a systems administrator and if all I had to do was computer work I would be perfectly happy I could work more than 40 hours. The problem is that 90% of my job is kissing ass to people that know literally nothing about computers desperately trying to get something halfway correct done while the removed in charge who hasn't understood computers for over 20 years now overrides and makes a dumbass decision that is guaranteed to cause problems, trying to preemptively get ready for when it inevitably causes the exact problems I said it would cause and having to deal with the cleanup and getting blamed for it even though I at every possible meeting made it clear that this was a bad idea.
So yeah I don't want to work , but that's not because I'm lazy it's because fuck other people lol
I grew up just north of Seattle in Bothell only just recently moved out to the coast bit south of Aberdeen I have learned the meaning of tree lol. If I stand the top a large elevation I struggle to find buildings my vision is nothing but trees and Hills I feel like that's more what the post is talking about.
I live surrounded by tree as far as the eye can see in all directions, it's very much republican County though lol
IT consulting. No actual qualifications required. Most of them have no fucking idea what they are doing. They just make you buy the latest hardware from whatever the current "industry leader" of tech is for equipment.
