Public speaking. I just can’t get my head around the fact that a crowd is composed of real, individual people. It just looks like an impersonal, lifeless blob to me, so I have no trouble performing in front of it.

I see that to dress like a scary exec, I must first earn like a scary exec…

Pretty sure the greeks knew about the hindu number system, they were neighbours for centuries. They just thought zero was of the devil and geometry was better that algebra and never adopted it.

Please explain the scary executive getup. I am taking notes for my own impending midlife crisis.

It is also to be noted that I bought minecraft only after I was sure that I would enjoy it. That’s why I played the cracked version for 3 years before my purchase.

It is to be noted that that $30 does not account for the amount of powder used to lubricate the board or the replacement discs. Just as I did not include the cost of upgrading my PC to run minecraft 1.18, the dogshit optimization update.

Somewhere in that neighbourhood, yes. That’s how much I’m willing to pay. My old carrom board lasted me two decades, and it was $30 (with discs). That’s the yardstick I measure games by.

Last game I ever bought was minecraft, back in 2012(?) for $15. Played it non-stop for a decade before the community imploded. Got my money’s worth. Haven’t bought a game since. No point unless they have a similarly active multiplayer community. It’s a pirate’s life for me.

Rustic scares me. I will 100% forget what tool I used to backup after 5 years and be unable to recover my files.
