Male pattern baldness is the correct answer actually

I’m sure it’s purely a coincidence that Twitter and Reddit are both being dismantled a year before the 2024 US election. And that Twitter’s demise was funded by Saudi Arabia.

Musk does seem to relish his chance to play the troll on a global stage, but that’s more of a side perk than the central reason for all of this.

Try to find out as much as you can about what the job/career is actually like, ask people who are in that field, if you can try to get some experience as an intern.

The worst thing you can do is focus on a major without considering what the actual work will be like once you graduate. Even if you love studying a topic, the actual work may be much less fun in practice.

Try to get some part-time experience of your own as you can, even at sub-entry level/intern levels it should help you know better what kinds of jobs you would enjoy full time. It’s often hard to envision a job without having some exposure to the field.

I think part of that is how popular merchandising like funko pops have become in recent years, Futurama was many years ago at this point.

Second reason is that despite its longevity in the internet consciousness, it’s easy to forget Futurama was fairly unpopular when it was originally airing.

Fewer mobile users maybe? For whatever reason, autocorrect/autocomplete suggestions on iOS always tries to add inappropriate apostrophes to plural words. Without fail, every single time. I sometimes reflexively tap the autocomplete suggestion to finish longer words and it’s really aggravating.

The “gh” in Van gogh is the phoneme /x/ which is the same sound as in “loch”, a voiceless fricative sound (“throat clearing” sound).

The only issues I have are with the Battlenet launcher, it sometimes crashes during startup when first opening D4 seemingly at random but once the game is running I don’t have any issues. Currently running it on Proton Experimental.

As far as settings go, at default settings D4 seems to be extremely taxing on the GPU (constant >=97% usage, high temps, crashes regularly after running for a while), although this seems to be common to all systems including PS5/Xbox.

Locking refresh rate and in-game menu FPS to 50fps keeps the power and GPU usage much lower and I get stable performance with no crashes.

Play it on the couch sitting next to my wife while we watch tv or movies in the evenings.

Spending nights sitting at a desktop (or monopolizing the TV) is frequently impractical and honestly unappealing to me, the SD makes it extremely convenient to play whenever.

The other big appeal is emulation- it wasn’t why I purchased one, but setting up Emudeck and Steam Rom Manager is incredibly convenient and lets you easily run anything up to WiiU/PS3 gen seamlessly from game mode. For that alone I would recommend it, the ease of access and convenience is amazing.
