They were great though, I owned those two later on and still have a Saturn, some absolute gems for those systems

There will always be people that direct that rage, Trump is a cult leader but he's not the only influencer

Would absolutely not care about Trump. Would absolutely care about the incensed conservative mob with minimal brain cells, rage and guns starting shit

I couldn't hide it, gaming was a very hard special interest and hyperfixation, I literally grew up in a console gaming golden age too (early-to-mid 90's kid so 4th and 5th generation consoles, Super Nintendo, Sega Genesis, Sony Playstation, Nintendo 64, arcade transitioning to 3D as a standard, etc.) so there was no escaping it from anyone

And yes I got made fun of, mostly by classmates but I got some family teasing too

When you're broke so your main rig is an old B-grade Thinkpad off eBay anyways

A lot are still doing that and haven't moved up

(Please at least use SFTP!)

Even worse

It's Nestle Pure Life

Which maybe tastes okay

But shits on your soul because Nestle has now sustained you

Interesting, good to know and thank you for that bit of history!

As an ace, wtf are you talking about

Hey HEY WE DON'T TALK ABOUT THAT GAME. That didn't happen /lh

Yep that's me

The Good Doctor, a show about a surgeon who is fighting his Hollywood Autism, complete with all the stereotypes, and trying to get through life and career at a hospital. Plays very hard into the "idiot savant" trope.

It seems like an ok show from the bit of season 1 I watched, but then I had an Autistic kid and learned I was Autistic myself and had a deep dive into Autism life... And yeah it does a pretty poor representation of it and I don't think I would want to go back to that show by this point.

I'll be fine, go ahead and take your time ☺️

FUCK I got the "Beat Donkey Kong Country 3 over and over again" Autism instead of the Medical HUD Autism

ADHD executive dysfunction be like, until the deadline is looming

Ok protein spooder

I'm actually still coping with the fact that I can use AI for work. I hate it. It feels like cheating and I learn little from using it vs. figuring the thing out myself, but this is a smart use.

I threw this at ChatGPT, it was entertaining.

Q: If you had a chessboard with dimensions comparable to the standard world chess tournament boards, and placed a grain of rice on a square, and then moved to the next square and doubled the amount of rice on that square that you used in the previous one, and kept doing this pattern of picking a square and placing twice as many grains as you did on the last one, approximately how many squares could you fill before the rice starts to overflow into other spaces?

A: Let's analyze the problem step-by-step to determine how many squares can be filled before the rice starts to overflow.

1. Understanding the problem: You start with 1 grain of rice on the first square of a chessboard. On each subsequent square, you double the number of grains of rice from the previous square. This means the number of grains on the ( n )-th square is ( 2^{n-1} ).

2. Capacity and overflow: We need to find the point at which the total amount of rice becomes excessively large, potentially exceeding the board's capacity. This problem is fundamentally a geometric progression and exponential growth problem.

3. Chessboard specifics: A standard chessboard has 64 squares.

4. Exponential growth: Let's calculate the number of grains of rice on a few key squares to understand the rapid growth:

   • 1st square: ( 2^0 = 1 ) grain
   • 2nd square: ( 2^1 = 2 ) grains
   • 3rd square: ( 2^2 = 4 ) grains
   • 4th square: ( 2^3 = 8 ) grains
   • 5th square: ( 2^4 = 16 ) grains
   • ...
   • 10th square: ( 2^9 = 512 ) grains
   • 20th square: ( 2^{19} = 524,288 ) grains
   • 30th square: ( 2^{29} = 536,870,912 ) grains
   • 40th square: ( 2^{39} = 549,755,813,888 ) grains
   • 50th square: ( 2^{49} = 562,949,953,421,312 ) grains
   • 60th square: ( 2^{59} = 576,460,752,303,423,488 ) grains

5. Total grains on the board: The total number of grains of rice after filling all 64 squares is the sum of the geometric series: [ S = 2^0 + 2^1 + 2^2 + \ldots + 2^{63} ] The sum of this series can be calculated as: [ S = 2^{64} - 1 ] This is a massive number: [ 2^{64} - 1 \approx 18.45 \times 10^{18} \text{ grains} ]

6. Practical limitations: In reality, the amount of rice that can fit on a square or even within the confines of a board or room will quickly become unrealistic after a relatively small number of squares. For example:

   • The number of grains of rice fitting on a square inch might be around 1,000 grains.
   • If each grain is about 0.01 cubic inch, a cubic foot would hold approximately 12,000 grains.

Given the calculations above, the exact square where the rice starts to overflow would depend heavily on the physical capacity of the square, which we've assumed to be quite large in this hypothetical.

7. Conclusion: Practically speaking, the rice would start to overflow the physical space far earlier than the 64th square. Assuming a generous physical capacity of a few thousand grains per square:
   • By around the 20th to 30th square, the exponential growth would likely have already led to a number of grains that exceed typical containment capabilities.

Therefore, if we were to realistically consider overflow within a standard physical context, you might see overflow happening anywhere from the 20th to 30th squares, given the doubling nature of the sequence.

Self-diagnosed with way too many symptoms of Autism and ADHD.

I'm moderately near sighted so my dependence on my vision as an important sense is lower than normal - I don't focus on visuals very well to begin with, and then Autism on top of it.

If I look at someone, which itself isn't frequent, I look at their face, I don't look right at their eyes. Even when I feel like I'm looking toward the eyes I'm kind of "not focusing" on them per se.

People ask me what someone's eyes look like or their expression was or even eye color, I couldn't tell you. Brain straight up doesn't register it unless I go out of my way to monitor it and then I'm weird for doing so.

Eye contact is a bit "intimate" IMO. You don't need it for day-to-day conversation.

I have eye contacted my wife, but I trust her. Not a regular occurrence. And even then it's a bit odd, but it's her, doesn't bother me as much.
