Each episode is one continuous shot. They did each episode in one continuous uncut take. A take of the second episode was going perfectly and needed to be reshot when an actor said the wrong name right at the end of the episode.

I never go in. Only out.

Video games. Specifically I’ve started playing very retro games and emulating games from my childhood.

You’re missing out on the Oral-B brushing experience.

People have vastly varying thresholds for what is acceptable here.

Also, this is one of those issues where it is far easier to make a case for “hygiene and cleanliness” and far harder to accept the opposite. So it acts kinda like a ratchet mechanism (easy to turn one way, difficult to bring it back the other way).

T shirt and jogger bottoms (and a hoodie for most of the year). I’ll go out like this to the grocery store or to take the kids to the park. For anywhere else I’d put jeans on

The medical community has long since moved on from the cardiovascular definition of death.

UpToDate.com is about the only source I can be bothered mustering up for an internet disagreement at this time of night:

Death is an irreversible, biologic event that consists of permanent cessation of the critical functions of the organism as a whole [1]. This concept allows for survival of tissues in isolation, but it requires the loss of integrated function of various organ systems. Death of the brain therefore qualifies as death, as the brain is essential for integrating critical functions of the body. The equivalence of brain death with death is largely, although not universally, accepted [2,3]. Brain death implies the permanent absence of cerebral and brainstem functions.

Also this video seems to explain what I’m trying to say, although I’m not going to watch the whole thing at this hour and I only skimmed through it: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=5IhxRSaJ74E

Not having a heartbeat and not breathing doesn’t mean you’re dead. Intensive care departments are literally full of people with medically paralysed breathing muscles (i.e. not breathing) on ventilation machines. People go onto heart/lung bypass machines everyday to have heart surgery and their heart is stopped. You just need to keep oxygenated blood going around, keeping those tissues alive till you get the heart and breathing back online (this is what CPR is trying to do).

When the brain stem is dead tissue, then you’re truly dead (but even then you can be kept “alive” artificially if you’re already on a ventilation machine in a suitable intensive care).

My family culture as a child was that sleep was sacred. If there were plans and places to go, but someone was tired and fell asleep on the sofa, then the light would be switched off, a blanket fetched, no one else goes in the lounge and the plans got delayed or cancelled.

Now I’ve married a woman who wakes me up to ask me if I’m sleeping.

Remember to drive on the left side of the road. Unless you go abroad, then check.

Ideas like this haven’t come up for the first time. I expect this idea occurred to Valve and they thought it was not worth the investment of money/manpower/infrastructure.

Valve would either have to publish on Google Play. That would put it in the role of a developer and Valve is not really pushing on its developer role significantly. A huge cut off sales then goes to google.

Or Valve will have to try to make an alternative store… And that is no small feat. Most people will not sideload apps or install other store fronts. I imagine the proportion of android game sales that Valve can get into will be tiny enthusiast communities, and that won’t be anywhere near enough to pay the bills. On this alternative store, Valve will have to get developers to make games…or again they will have to consider developing games in house to get the ball rolling. Their best bet would likely be to use their existing IP to make mobile spin-offs (DotA card game? Or a wild-rift type MOBA? CS:GO turn based tacticle game? Or try to compete with CoD for the FPS market?).

I can’t see any combination of the above that seem like probable success for Valve. It’s admirable that they’re sticking to their niche and what they know. Pushing further into the handheld gaming and console market has been a much better option for them and they’re trying hard. Even in that aspect, the Steam Deck is universally praised…and is selling roughly 2.5% as many consoles as the Nintendo Switch. And no one I know IRL knows about the Steam Deck (other than my brothers, who bought one after I told them I had pre-ordered mine).

Yes, exactly as you’ve described. The specific combination of Jokers here is making things confusing (and that’s the point of the meme). Try taking each issue individually:

Straight can be made with a card gap. So A Q J 9 7 counts as a straight. So the hand will at least be a straight and all 5 cards will score on this basis.

Flush can be made with 4 cards; and spades/clubs count as the same suit. Q J 9 7 count as the same suit and are enough to make a flush. Even though the ace doesn’t count towards the flush, it will still count as the straight. If there was no ace then the hand would still be a straight flush.

The way the game scores is tricky sometimes. It gets particularly annoying when I’ve levelled up flush and my hand also happens to contain 3 of a kind. Then the game counts it as a 3 of a kind instead and counts much lower chips/multiplier.

All 5 cards will be counted in the straight flush. It’s a straight (with one card gaps) and a flush (with 4 of the “same” suit).

A dot afterwards? Now that’s fancy!

Ace will get counted as part of the straight.

I’ve seen a lot of individuals like this in my life… “I don’t want to play, so the game is over”. No dude, you’re welcome to not participate, but you’re not the life of this group.

AI won’t reverse enshitification, but it is one solution in this sense:

The internet is too far gone. It’s all bots and advertising and disinformation and exploitation and data harvesting. People still seem to trust content on the internet for some reason. AI will sort that out by making the internet so unreliable, people will have to distrust it to the extent they should.

I haven’t tried Winlator myself.

Less demanding Switch games work fine. The Retroid Pocket 5 would have better performance and there are videos on youtube with game demonstrations to see performance.

Android tablet with built-in controller?

Yes

Does it run (x64) PC games

There’s Winlator, but you’ve gotta manage your expectations for the performance you expect for PC games.

(arm) Android games and emulators
