I have a powerful computer for my work with a 3090, i9 etc. I still prefer gaming on the Xbox, it’s in the living room, it doesn’t bother me with driver issues, CPU overheating, and other random bugs I get on the big machine, and it’s in the living room where I’m also spending the time with my family rather than stuck in my cave upstairs.

Looking more and more likely to see US folks in the Hague for vastly different reasons in the future…

I’m not British and brown sauce is great, but these German ones are also great. Keeping my diet in check these days so no sauces for me though T_T

I, too, am really curious about the cubed water.

Yeah I considered adding that originally but felt it was detrimental to the impact of the joke.

Festool is great if you’re literally made of money.

Altavista baby.

Interesting wiki, I had no idea you produced so many cars, since I don’t know of any major Canadian car brands I just assumed you didn’t build any either, never thought there could be plants from foreign brands.

Sorry how much??? I think we pay like 7/800€ property tax yearly on a house worth about 400k€… I thought US had low taxes.

My field is littered with these gurus that sell you their courses… I think anything remotely “sexy” has them…

Fingers needed to remain mission-critical levels of clean for one reason or another, but the donut was also too tempting, and boom, fork-donut.

Yes that’s correct, I’ve worked in the field, when you place an order online there’s a workflow triggered in the background between your bank, the vendor and visa/Mastercard in the case of credit cards. When you place the order, an authorization is placed on the card, at that stage it goes through a few checks (balance, fraud checks, creation of the transaction ID, etc). If it’s successful, it’ll move to a pending status, at this point it’s just an authorization, during this time the company will prepare your order for shipping. Once it ships, the authorisation gets converted to a settlement, which is when money actually starts getting transferred. Even then it’ll take a few more days for the banks to actually process the transaction before the vendor can refund it.

Of course, this is all just the way it’s done, I’m not saying it’s the right one. Companies use this process because it’s nice and safe, guarantees you won’t be losing money through the cracks, but nothing would stop them from just refunding before this whole transaction shenanigans is fine, they just take more risk.

I am, they look pretty suspicious but honestly it’s hard to be sure, because the source is pretty low Res and full of noise, but my instinct tells me fake, the light on their hands in shots 2 and 3 just look wrong.

Yeah the foundation is in Amsterdam I think.

You just don’t get it do you??? The ONLY thing that can carry the movie is the script and exposition through dialogue!!! Everything else is a sin against the purity of the cinematic art form!!! /s

Really? I don’t think I do, shit was painful yo.
