So you get the least secret hair cut? What is that like a high and tight?

I’m not planning on buying the book.

2d10 would be used if each arrow had a 10% chance of being cursed. But that’s not the case. There are 10 arrows, five are cursed, and 2 are selected. Therefore the first arrow would have a 5/10 chance of being cursed, while the second selection would have either a 4/9 or 5/9 chance of being cursed depending on whether or not the first arrow was cursed.

To solve this, requires using combinatorics. There are 10 choose 2 (45) ways to choose two arrows, of which there are 5 choose 2 (10) ways to choose 2 arrows that are non-cursed. This works out to be 2/9 odds to pull two safe arrows. Which means you need to get funkier with the dice.

Ah shit you right, I was thinking the DMG. Well half that then.

A Gameboy color gets at most 30 hours and takes 2 AA batteries. So across 30 million years, you’d need about 16 billion batteries lol

I’ve put my ira into FNILX. Zero fees and consistently beats 10%

Spotify has a playlist called Daily Drive that does exactly that. It creates a playlist of music you like then between songs will play news snippets from the day. It’s pretty cool about half the time.

What is that guy from Blondie known for eating?

Sasan Goodarzi is a man, btw.

And pinball is like pachinko for people who suck at pachinko.

Woah, what a weird coincidence, I also have one of those Metal Army pachinko machines, found it at a flea market around here.

And yes, now that I have more than one pachinko machine my house is probably the loudest in the city.

Okay, but I’d really like to not freeze to death this winter. I can’t afford to move right now.

Yea same issue on my end. Seems the balatro dev didn’t set up the shop properly.

I thought most drives were still TLC and QLC is still pretty new, right?

But yes, QLC has more like 1000 write cycles, but either way, like 5-10%ish of TLC/QLC drives are SLC cache, meaning you’d get fast write speeds and 100,000 cycles on that part of the drive, but yes they wouldnt last as long as a pure SLC. From what I understand though, a lot of these drives will copy under used files from the SLC cache to the QLC cache since read speeds are basically the same, in order to optimize the percentage of actively used files in the SLC cache.

So to answer your last question, yes. Video editing is probably one of the most demanding things you can do with a drive, and will shorten the lifespan of the device. But this is true for literally any kind of drive, and any operation you do with a drive. Hard drives may not have a write cycle limitation like ssds, but they have moving parts that wear with use. So theres not really anything you can do to avoid the issue. To video edit period, you’re going to put wear on your drive.

Also to give some context, average SSDs have about 100,000 write cycles per cell, before write failure can have a chance of happening. Since it distributes it out across the cells, you could write 1GB to a 1TB SSD about 100 million times. This isn’t a small number really, it’ll take a while to do that. I’ve been editing here and there on my ssd for 5+ years on top of full time video game development and it still works fine, with no signs of stopping. I read some guy online who edited video nearly every day for three years, and the ssd software still said he had about 10% of the ssd life remaining before write failures. So depending in your work flow your drive could last 4 to 10+ years.

The only real differences here are cost and speed. Do you want to wait around for a slow hdd while you’re editing, or do you want to edit quickly and enjoy the process? I personally would always edit on an SSD because you’re not solving the problem by using something else. Like yea, maybe a hard drive would last twice as long as an ssd, but it’s also twice as slow, so you’re just stretching those, say, 5 years of man-hours into 10. You’re not actually getting more work done on that drive.

Yea, that’s specifically not transparency. Megaman X 4 had actual transparencies, which you can see here with the glass tube, next to a spotlight using the dithering method.

Lmao the down votes on this are really funny to me

I assumed they were pointing out how small business tax breaks can be taken advantage of by those wealthy types pretending to be people like your wife. On the other hand, benefits to workers, renters and first time home-owners can’t be exploited as simply and would benefit your wife just the same. But if I’m wrong then, yea, I agree with you 100%.
