Seriously. I have too many American friends who are confused when I tell them I have and will have no interest in going down to America, even if it's just to visit them, for the foreseeable future and they wonder why.
Could it be because your country was having open public discourse on the merits of annexing us? Or maybe that I don't want to get thrown into an ICE concentration camp for no reason?
GPS via Satellites is offline! All satellites do(*) is transmit down to the Earth's surface. Those signals will exist whether there's a receiver there (ie. Your phone) or not. A GPS works by detecting those signals (ideally it will get at least 4 different ones for best accuracy) and calculating your location by triangulating it based on the signals (**). No upload on your end is required, it's very similar to how radio works.
(*) As in, all they need to do is this. Specific satellites have different features for different jobs and specs. But all they have to do to make GPS work is transmit.
(**) I mean "triangulate" as in the principle of triangulation, as in being able to determine the geography of a point via the topology of it to other known points. It's not actual triangulation with satellites because a fourth one acts as a correction factor -- we're dealing with signals going the speed of light after all. But that isn't important for whether or not GPS needs to upload anything to work -- it doesn't.
No shame to anyone who bought a switch 2. My partner got one during pre-sales and is incredibly happy to have gotten one, and I feel so happy for him that he gets to have some joy in his life with it. I wish you the same joy.
But I just can't get into it. I didn't grow up with nintendo so the properties really don't mean much to me. And now, I just don't think I can swallow paying hundreds of dollars to start, then another hundred dollars to get games that seemingly play the same way as they did in the last release, plus a yearly subscription for online play. You may not see what you purchased the same way, and I'm glad that it's meaningful to you even if I can't find the same meaning in it -- it's good that there exists something for everyone's niche.
I don't see why this needs to be a competition. Are there really people out there who were about to get a steam deck but decided not to in favour of a switch 2? I feel like switch owners are well aware that it's a Nintendo machine and theyre not gonna be playing a lot of their favourite out-of-franchise games on it. That's what they expect and thats what they'll likely get.
The final boss thing is just unlikely to be something you would happen to try out, so i agree with that.
That's interesting because I actually do not recall the Cave Johnson line in game because I sorta tuned out a lot of the Cave Johnson lines on my first playthrough. So when I saw how the final scene played out, I sorta just took it as "well screw it, this is a desperate situation, why not just try anything and see what happens?" kind of decision. I didn't see that action as being foreshadowed by an earlier line but it still made sense to me.
Basically, I think it makes sense for Chell to try that out even if she couldn't hear Cave talk about that thing.
Imagine being owned by the mere existence of shears
Let me jumpscare that person real quick
Blep :3
Never heard of that before, is that a thing in your area?
How do you keep your condensed milk from hardening between servings?
In my area they come in tin cans, so there's too much to use it all up before it starts to thicken
Don't ask the questions if you don't want them answered lmao
Thank you! Everyone has been saying this and it's so cop-brained that it's frustrating.
They have not proven that he killed anyone. He is innocent until proven guilty. When you accept that he actually did anything before he is convicted, you are aiding the police's and prosecutor's job by making the assumption that arrest = guilt.
I'm not American so I'm speaking out of turn. But could it be resourcing?
Curriculums have to be made, and that sort of thing takes time and money. So I imagine it's easier to take a curriculum for European Spanish that already exists and just keep using it under the assumption that it's "close enough" for students to jump to Mexican Spanish from there, rather than reinvent the curriculum for Mexican Spanish.
Was it good?
I really want to like iced coffee but so many of the places I can get it from make it taste watered down. It's like they get the ice from a soda fountain and it adds a bunch of water to it.
I've had better luck with cold brews for the "cold coffee" urges
