That's nice to see, and I've been craving the original two games lately. I'm just waiting until DosBox gets RetroAchevements support since I like going deep into these games for 100% map competition on each campaign. (Plus I think it will support GoG versions and mod since they all use DosBox).

My wife orders oat milk for her cream top kind of drinks that have been trendy lately and they usually give her a warning. I think people are mom and pop cafes are a little more mindful of customers, though.

Tbf, I do see tiny white specs on that coffee if you look at high res of that photo. It's the kind of thing you see a lot at poor quality coffee places though I usually drink it anyway for the caffeine addiction.

Funny thing is I think I like melted Swiss cheese more on my burgers.

Same as with rotting corpses and smell. A dead landlord in my living room may stink up the whole house but a dead politician sitting at the far end of an indoor stadium won't be noticeable.

I did hear Arch is a bit more trouble, yeah. CachyOS was pretty straightforward from desktop environment to automatically detecting hardware and such. Pretty much the same features you see with Windows, just a lot faster.

In the case I'm referencing, I was installing Windows 11 for a five year old gaming computer using the Windows 10 upgrade software, no USB or anything like that.

Technically I was going to use a custom USB made with Rufus to remove copilot, but by the time I got there they had already started the upgrade process. It really did take two hours, including the 15 minutes before I got there.

Sure, and Internet speeds probably matter a bit too. The download part was a bit faster than I remember, but then it hung up on the later parts for a while. Lol

The most obvious bait to be was 1 hour install time. Windows 11 took 2 hours to install, CachyOS took like 5 minutes. I imagine Arch is similar, there is simply no way. Lol

Statisticians in reality are programmers, typically using R or Python to run models. You only ever touch math in undergrad.*

There's a long tradition of skipping hard math, though-- ever have a stats class that has you looking at a t-table for a critical value? That's because it gives us a cutoff to use instead of calculating a p-value (which is hard).

*Note: statistics majors in PhD programs still need the hardcore math. Matrix algebra, calculus, etc. Who else is gonna make the packages we use?

Iirc, they put herbs and stuff in the nose of those things. They legit were PPE, lol.

I've grappled with this before, and even before people were using AI, take home exams were always open-book by default because of course people will look things up. The irony is, since AI, I've had a lot worse essay submissions-- they simply get shit wrong a lot more relying on AI (especially in my statistics class).

And my stats class only needs to do basic stuff to show work; I let them use excel/sheets to check work. They can't even type in "=correl()" properly and would rather take a photo of the data and send it to ChatGPT. AI gives them wildly wrong steps and it's so obviously wrong...
