Half the time the double jump just does not work
Apparently the jump button had turbo enabled in the keybinds which was fucking up my jumps.

Because game devs still put the dumb shit button mashing mechanic into their games?

So glad that there was a special button I had to press when I specifically wanted to go faster.
No thanks, today I think I'll just do everything slowly.

STATUS Transfering money around. The fuck do you mean you might not be able to transfer on a bank holiday? Is there a basement of Chinese teenagers walking cash around the office and you gave them the bank holiday off?

That actually was what the button did. Slowed it down to like half the clock speed.
Because games ran too fast, or something.

It appears YouTube has grown tired of me turning off autoplay every time I visit it "for the first time" in an incognito window. Because the button below the video is now gone.

Yes, this one made it so using incognito mode was inconvenient enough for many to encourage you to be tracked instead.

Status: Brillant. Received my two replacement lids today. Shipped separately of course. Huge boxes too. When I requested them, I suggested they include extras for the subsequent order that hadn't arrived yet but would surely have broken parts as well. That order arrived Saturday but I didn't get to it until today due to rain. Guess what, two more broken lids, same combination as last time.
-
@Zenith have you ever considered that it might be both more cost effective and less frustrating to simply buy your containers at a local store, even if the unit cost is higher? Because shipping them seems to very much not work. And in part, that makes sense. Shipping an empty container is the most fragile state, since it allows maximum flexing in transit.

Oversimplification at work. You see, "local" in this case means a four hour round trip (the next closest are six and eight). That place only carries a subset of sizes (and, for that matter, colors - sometimes clear isn't optimal). Additionally, consider the cargo space available in a mid-size SUV. Pro-tip: it's not as much as you think once you deal with real product dimensions as opposed to cubic inches.
-
@Zenith That's why cars have bars on the roof and a tow hook.

@Zenith Then the particularity and/or volume of your containerization needs is much different than anything I've considered. Because even my local Walmart carries a plethora of clear plastic containers of many different sizes, and they stack.
Sure, my little Honda Civic couldn't carry too many, but when stacked up empty, I could carry 8-10 of the larger ones combined between normal interior volume and trunk.
Side question--have you considered whether the abundance of things you own may be a net detriment? Are you making a profit considering holding costs, time, and aggravation on your toy side business? Is it enough to be worth wading through stacks of stuff?
Then again, I'm fairly minimalist as to possessions. Other than furniture, everything I own would comfortably fit into a small U-haul. And most of that would probably be jettisoned if I had to move anywhere more than locally. As would most of my furniture. I'd bet that I could fit all the stuff that actually matters to me in my car with room to spare. And stuff that doesn't matter to me and that I don't need to live directly tends to get discarded/given to charity on a regular basis.

@Gern_Blaanston or c) you have no clue what actually has been changed since when or if that's worth a major version increase or just a minor one, so you just increase the major number on every change.
Meanwhile, Discord over here wants me to install version 227.0 of its app.
No, that’s not a typo.
No, I have no idea what changed since last week either in version 226. Or 225, etc.
what's the point of dividing into minor and major versions of it's not a library? how would you say a change broke or hasn't broken binary compatibility in an app?

In an ideal world I would be able to stick to a given major version which has the features I need and an UI that works for me, and be comfortable in the knowledge that it will continue working the way I'm used to without them randomly breaking shit, removing important features because they "were confusing", or having to hunt down those features again every few months because some design wanker thought that UI needs another random complete overhaul. Meanwhile I would continue getting minor version updates which would include bug fixes and security fixes, and make sure things continue working in a changing environment; and there might even be the occasional new feature that can be integrated into the existing UI in a non-intrusive way.
Of course I see why this can't really be how things work in reality, but I wish someone would at least acknowledge that it would be valuable and make a reasonable effort in that direction, instead of just throwing out the concept wholesale and going "hurr durr why do you hate progress" instead.

The ones in-store at any of those places aren't moisture resistant. With the state of my basement what it is, that's non-negotiable.
There is also the preference for putting rectangular prisms in containers with flat sides and minimal tapering. If I was storing towels or socks, I could use baskets or bags for all of the difference it would make.

Yes, I have considered it. The conclusion I arrived at is that it's not as simple as "too much stuff." Had I been able to set up more shelving sooner, it would've prevented the piling up of stuff that must be boxed up to be able to set up that shelving now. When the Great Shuffling is complete, then a review will be done.
-
At last estimate backed by real numbers, it was roughly break-even believe it or not. I believe that I've pulled ahead since then. Maybe not with the spending spree I've been on the last six months but some of that will double as personal use so it's not cut and dry.
-
Unlikely. Doesn't mean I'll give it all away.
Then again, I'm fairly minimalist as to possessions. Other than furniture, everything I own would comfortably fit into a small U-haul. And most of that would probably be jettisoned if I had to move anywhere more than locally. As would most of my furniture. I'd bet that I could fit all the stuff that actually matters to me in my car with room to spare. And stuff that doesn't matter to me and that I don't need to live directly tends to get discarded/given to charity on a regular basis.
I moved in with a small box truck worth of stuff. I think I could move out in three trips with that truck now. It's very doable to get that back down to two.

The websites change and the browsers need to change with them

Ok, adhering to standards and fixes could be minor changes, and anything else a major change
If the browsers were to concede to this, there could be an LTS version of them. Dunno if anybody didn't fork chromium and did something like this yet
Of course I see why this can't really be how things work in reality, but I wish someone would at least acknowledge that it would be valuable and make a reasonable effort in that direction, instead of just throwing out the concept wholesale and going "hurr durr why do you hate progress" instead.
An LTS fork is theoretically possible, and forks of firefox and chromium do exist, maybe one of these would be satisfactory for you?
-
@sockpuppet7 Chrome will never concede to this. They’re the ones pushing the agenda as it currently stands as the de facto monopoly in this space, and they’re doing it for multiple reasons, but not least because it makes it harder for new competition to come into the market.
-
@sockpuppet7 Firefox already has Firefox ESR, which is still on 115.
Chrome will never do LTS.
FAKE EDIT:
-
@sockpuppet7 I DIDN'T ASK FOR HELP !!1!11
I'm just lamenting the demise of the concept of the major version.
TBH actually Firefox has generally been playing reasonably fair with me in that regard; at least it seems to carry over config options on update to keep the UI and behavior relatively similar. But I couldn't say that out loud because it would break my sweet wallowing in righteous self-pity.
-
@sockpuppet7 If the concepts of DLLs and loose coupling were used correctly by "engineers," I could replace
jscript.dll
or whatever every time the hair-brained "standards" committee introduced yet another syntax for declaring a variable instead of throwing out the whole browser.

Latest DDF, parcel from China update: According to Canada Post, it has been delivered, matching their latest revised estimate of today between 10am and 2 pm. Very quick overall for an order from China.
Comparatively, an order I placed on the same day with a Canadian company, shipping from Canada, still has not arrived - at least as of yesterday. That one doesn't have tracking available so if it's been placed in my mailbox or by my front doorI don't know about it yet.
