Autism has a genetic component, and what you describe (specifically his pattern of behavior, not his beliefs) makes it sound like he may be undiagnosed autistic. Not a doctor or psychologist, but it’s an amusing thought nonetheless that he may be responsible for his children’s autism
It doesn’t get crispy, but on the other hand, less microplastics on your food, so that’s a fine trade anyways.
Pro tip: microwave for half the microwave time, then bake for half the baking time. That reproduces the original crispiness without the sleeve
Have you never seen a bottle brush? If not, get one. It’ll change your life
Technical debt applies not just to coding! (though it’s most often talked about in that context) It’s the general idea that whenever you rush a project by taking shortcuts, you have to spend more time later to sort it out (and let’s be honest, it’s never actually going to get sorted out)
It’s not even about narcissism. If this man gets back, he gets to talk to media about his experiences, which will likely turn a lot of people against Trump’s plans. Trump’s fascism is contingent on people being complacent about the things he’s doing
Left over right, then right over left. This creates a proper shoelace knot (aka double slipped square knot). You need to alternate. The alternation creates a self-tightening knot. If you do left over left, left over left (or the other way), then you’ve just done a granny knot, which will fall apart
Because the ones that we hear about are the ones that are good enough to have even made it out of Japan. If a game was bad, it wouldn’t be localized to an English-speaking audience, and we wouldn’t even know it exists.
It’s the same sort of thinking as asking why (insert media here) was better in the past. The answer is simple - good songs, games, movies, etc. tend to be more memorable, and so we remember the good ones and forget the bad ones. To put it briefly, there’s survivorship bias.
Braid. Sounds like a dress up game but it’s a puzzle platformers about time travel. I always have to explain it every time I talk about it
Extremely disappointed. They had some very passionate people on the project and I was hoping that they’ll turn things around over the next several years.
There is also the factor that the user appears unaware that the feature he is requesting is already present, because you can just cut/paste.
Perhaps, but that’s a relatively spectacular case. If my memory serves me correctly, the average typing speed is around 40 wpm. And sure, that kind of speed can get the job done but it definitely won’t be a good time. My elementary school was pretty forward-thinking in this respect. They signed us up for computer literacy and typing courses that would last for multiple years that we would do in computer class. I think everyone in my class was hitting at least 50 wpm by middle school. I was typing a solid 70 wpm.
Anyways, I think there are certain aspects of typing where having guidance could really help. I know people who chicken-peck because that’s just how they’ve always done it and they’ve never broken that habit.
As a side note, typing well isn’t something that can easily be learned by simply typing more. If her typing is a concern (and it may well be since she’ll be typing much more in college), it may be helpful to search for some typing courses. My impression is that there are some free online ones, but I don’t remember any off the top of my head.
Thanks, didn’t know it had an autosave feature, but I do now. Your story is appreciated
It’s been a while since I played Okami, I think I just kept trying till I eventually got it.
Ironically, it was the fishing that got me to give up my completionist run. Couldn’t get one fish that supposedly was common. Spent at least 4 hours constantly fishing before I gave up
Oh, just because someone is abusive or unsupportive doesn’t mean that they don’t love you. It just means that their interactions aren’t healthy for you and you need to establish boundaries.
Regardless, I hope that you’re doing well. I don’t know what your project is, but I can certainly tell you that it’s much more impressive than anything I’ve made
Hence, the qualification that I’m referring specifically to his pattern of behavior, not beliefs. More specifically, I’m referring to his obsessive, rigid hyperfixations. The abuse is entirely on him.
Interestingly, I have a family member who is almost certainly undiagnosed autistic, and he acts very similarly to what is described in the OP, even down to the “I know better than the experts” rhetoric. The vast majority of autistic people aren’t like that, but it is interesting for me to note the similarities between these 2 people.
