Lions mane and chicken of the woods. Grill em, hit em with some garlic butter and lemon pepper. Pretty dang good imo.

I still remember when I met a pilot who majored in geology. I asked him "you know the irony in that right?" He says "yep. But hey at least I can tell you about the mountain we're about to crash into."

Industrial diamonds have always been on the cheap and that industry is far removed from the jewelry/gem industry, in fact a large majority of diamonds that are mined aren't gem grade, they're industrial grade. It's been growing and advancing despite the jewelry/gem market starting to fall.

Also because newer generations just aren't sold on diamonds being a luxury item anymore. Your average Joe just isn't paying their rent or more on a diamond engagement/wedding ring like they used to because, well, that's their rent payment or mortgage for something that's gonna lose value the second they walk out of the store.

Honestly out of all 12 steps it's the first step that actually hits the hardest.

"We admitted we were powerless over alchohol (although you could substitute alcohol for anything really)—that our lives had become unmanageable."

As my shrink used to say "the hardest part of overcoming a problem or mistake is admitting you have a problem/made a mistake."

God... Imagine being in the middle of an important call for say discussing family affairs for a dying family member and you just hear "there will be a 30 second advertisement break in 1 minute."... I'd probably pop a blood vessel.

That said, before multiplayer was centralised, you checked the server pingtime before joining the server.

Scrolling through servers on CS:Source trying to find one that wasn't pinging harder than my anxiety... Those were the days.

There's still a way to do it but it's convoluted compared to if they'd just add a damn resource monitor into the game itself.

If you still care about figuring out your ping: this comment on reddit from a year ago tells you how to find your games server IP, from there you can just fire up command prompt and hit with ping -n 100 <IP/Adress> This should return your ping and packet loss with the server.

A WELL TRAINED AI can be a very useful tool. However the AI models that corporations want to use aren't exactly what I'd call "well trained" because that costs money. So they figure "we'll just let it learn by doing. Who cares if people get hurt in the meantime. We'll just blame the devs for it being bad."

Edit: to add this is partly why AI gets a bad rap from folks on the outside looking it. Corporations institute barebones, born yesterday AI models that don't know their ass from their elbow because they can't be bothered to pay the devs to actually train them but when shit goes south they turn around and blame the devs for a bad product instead of admitting they cut corners. It's China Syndrome but instead of nuclear reactors it's AI.

That's probably the point. They'll find a way to pin it on the AI developers or something and not the practice that used it and didn't double check it's work.

Although I feel like this is just the first step. Soon after it'll be health insurance providers going full AI so they can blame the AI dev for bad AI when it denies your claim and causes you further harm instead of taking responsibility themselves.

Blind definitely helped me understand DF a lot better.

Definitely in the category of "ol' reliable" in terms of watches but I like the Pro-Trek because of some of the added features like the compass, barometer and altimeter.
