Don’t worry, your wife believed your post.

6 times 6 equals 36. Add every number between 1 and 36 and it equals 666.

What does it mean!?

It’s just like Microsoft to remove the one I might actually want out of those three. More pinball, less data collection!

I believe it’s due to kernel philosophy.

Linux and Mac are a monolithic kernel, which I understand to mean that the entire OS runs in kernel space to operate the compatible hardware. This has the advantage of making sure the OS is in the drivers seat for resource management, and no individual program is easily able to overload the system and create instability, but it may limit the power of some programs and delay compatability of new hardware and software.

Windows, on the other hand, is a hybrid kernel, which means some functions are managed in user space so that a program has more control over the hardware. This can be useful for pushing gaming to the limit or running experimental/custom programs, but it can lead to instability from resource hungry programs or security vulnerabilities from Trojan horses.

As for why their ISO is huge, I s’pose it’s due to all the extra crap they throw in there like AI, pinball, and data collection stuff.

Apologies if I got something fundamentally wrong—there are plenty of bigger nerds than me on here—but that’s my best attempt at explaining the difference as well as I know it.

Debian.

Not ‘til after Lord of the Rings!

Conan or Miles? Yes.

When I try to click on the games on the homepage, it says I need a premium account. Am I missing something?

Edit: I see—it’s only for the things labeled “other events” that premium is required. No horsie racing for me, I guess. ☹️

Seems to be about equally expensive as a normal streaming service.

Ok, let’s assume it is someone I know well.

Saying “I always remember the pretty ones” to someone you aren’t consensually pursuing a flirtatious relationship with gives leisure suit Larry vibes.

I suspect that you and I have different lives: in the type and number of people we meet, and in the number of locations we meet them.

That is usually the case with two different people, yes.

Are you saying you meet tons of people who you are supposed to remember but you keep forgetting them? And then that when you meet them again, the context is appropriate for a flirtatious sounding response even though you don’t even remember them?

I’m genuinely curious, how does this actually happen to you, and what is the context where it is an average occurrence?

Considering that this is probably a casual acquaintance since you don’t remember meeting them, those last two responses are straight up creepy.

Phew!

Me too! I wish they commented the reason why because I’m really proud to have made the cut!

Where can I see if I’m on the list? I want to be on the list!

Edit: I’M ON IT! I would like to thank the academy…

In my opinion, they take the good parts of the Hitman mechanics and apply it to 007, while also giving you new abilities with the gadgets and some limitations on random violence since you are…you know…the good guy.

The story is a little mid, but they are clearly setting up a universe for more games and it ends with some good potential for future plots.

I liked it. It was no Hitman, but it scratched the itch and the extra constraints for being an honorable agent were cool.

Edgy. /s

This is one of those cultural misunderstanding posts.

The letters translate to numbers on a keypad in the US.

I know you’re joking, but I’m going to answer this anyway.

This would be considered constitutional carry in Texas and would be legal to do in public with no license whatsoever. Gotta keep your hand off it though otherwise it could be considered criminally threatening.
