I think if your kid spends enough time staring at screens just in restaurants they are going to grow up having never learned to cook a meal, buy groceries, or ever fend for themselves. They'll grow up being clueless rich narcissists eating in restaurants breakfast, lunch and dinner every single day (the amount of time needed for the screen time to have an effect), and that will have massive developmental issues. They may even be so bad they'll run for president one day.

If you love coffee you'd have a barista do it for you and never use the term "pre-grind" again. Ground beans begin to stale in a matter of hours rather than weeks for full beans. Also if you're into espressos or espresso based milky drinks, then you probably need to adjust your grinder to suit the time of day as well to get a perfect shot as temperature and humidity will all affect extraction and flavour (note: the reason why some cafes produce inconsistent results and some produce always great coffee is because the latter have staff who know how to dial in the grind throughout the day).

A lot of people make the mistake of spending a fortune on a coffee machine and then very little on the grinder. Really the best results you get are the other way around. And if you're on a low budget, then hand grind. A $300 hand grinder is in a similar class to a $2000 Mahlkonig E65S, though not in speed.

America hates nuance.

A small amount of homework is fine. Studies show a little time at the end of day to reenforce classroom time. Like half an hour total. Maybe 2 hours on the weekend. This is what the data shows

But it's either 10 hours a day or zero because Americans hate nuance.

The video shows one struggling to apply light pressure to a cargo container, and that's it. I'd love to know what their actual capabilities are.

I wish I was...that guy sounds like he enjoys life more than I do

But somehow I managed to watch 8 hours of television a day.

Seriously remember when we had the moral panic about the average American watching 8 hours of TV a day? Remember when that statistic was basically bullshit because it included outliers like retirees who are otherwise sitting around doing nothing because they were so old that was all they could do?

Honestly I kind of wonder what life was like for old people waiting to die before TV. I mean yeah you probably died a lot sooner because modern medicine didn't exist but there was a period of time when you didn't have a lot of TV but you did have pills to keep your heart going past 60.

So you're 70 years old and you've got another 5 years but your body is so beat up you basically can't do anything and your eyes don't work that well so it's not like you're going to be reading all the time. And you don't necessarily sleep all day a lot of old people don't sleep all that much it's why we wake up to our president posting screeching Insanity every morning.

Jesus Christ, this guy is big mad you didn't use magnets so he could move his prizes to the refrigerator afterwards. Someone get him some magnets so he shuts up.

The swastikas are coming from inside the house

I was offered lens replacement surgery to improve vision, but decided not to. I'm very sensitive to vision problems, and at my age I would need glasses for both reading and computer use anyway.

and that's why he accidentally bought a social media company and released a white supremacist chatbot

So what you're saying is Musk is here today to impose what clearly doesn't work on his competition because he has a serious conflict of interest with his own for-profit AI company that nobody uses for coding because the nutjob that owns it overrides his own engineers and inserts weird shit about white genocide into the system prompt when it doesn't speak his personal version of "truth"?

You are so don't take psychedelics like that when you're in treatment. I think there are some super low dose things that people might do on their own but otherwise if you're taking a dose enough to really affect you you are doing it under direct and immediate doctor supervision. Has in the doctor is right there watching you trip and guiding you through it.

That seems to be what really works. You have the doctor there guiding you through the psychedelic experience and the two combined, the doctors psychological treatment during the trip and the trip itself are what it does it.

When treating post-traumatic stress disorder it has apparently been so effective you can't really say no to it anymore. There are about a dozen cases of people with severe PTSD from war who are non-functional human beings that are just normal now. After 6 to 12 sessions.

But can you play it on a PS5? Because clearly you're limited in some capacity. Nothing lasts forever.

Sidenote: I had a physical copy of Starcontrol II from the 90s. The CD is unreadable due to aluminium rot. I do however have it on Steam and it does work. Physical media has its place, but so do other forms of media.

That case may have been 20 years ago, but Sony's actions in the 20 years since have shown no evidence that they have changed as a company. Fast forward to today and every Bluray disc includes DRM which is basically as technically toxic as Denuvo. Speaking of which Denuvo is used by recent Sony titles on PC, as are kernel level anti-cheats, and they share a lot in common with the rootkit from 20 years ago.

That said I can't get upset at kernel level anti-cheat given the state of online gaming without it. Sadly with live in a world of cunts.

It isn't illegal in Germany. You're responding to a meme. Also the GDPR isn't a paper tiger, it's just that people are clueless as to its requirements, haven't read it and don't know when it applies. The fact you are talking about it now here (completely irrelevant to the case of DRM) is an example of that.
