Many anesthetics actually have an amnesiac effect as well. If you’ve ever been under general anesthesia then you likely had a minute or two of talking with the anesthesiologist that you will never remember and that last “this is just oxygen” moment is not actually the last moment you were conscious.

…organs.
I’m in my mid-40s and expanded my circle of friends by about a dozen people in the past year or so.
Just go out and do stuff. For me it was getting involved with the local fighting game community.
Alternative read. They’re into watersports and do this at home. He’s holding it because he wants to wait to get home so he can relieve himself that way. She’s teasing him about being unable to make it home to enjoy it. It’s not actually a matter of being uneasy about public restrooms, just the much more understandable discomfort with that sort of activity in public.

Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•its actually worse bc ports are counted twice for 2.0 & 3.0
8·8 days agoa mobo usually only has 1 USB controller for way more than 15 USB ports though
This is not true for the last… many PC motherboards I’ve used. The USB ports are almost always split between the CPU controller and a chipset controller.
If you want to be really pedantic I guess you could argue that the motherboard only supplies one while the other comes from the CPU. :P
The comment you replied to doesn’t list any maintenance tasks or annoyances. I genuinely have no idea what you’re referring to with the opening line.
…all what things they listed?

Technology@lemmy.world•Valve Sued By The Performing Rights Society Over Music Rights in Games Valve Doesn’t Make or OwnEnglish
171·22 days agoHere’s a music news site: https://www.musicbusinessworldwide.com/gaming-giant-steam-faces-legal-action-from-the-uks-prs-over-alleged-unlicensed-use-of-music-in-games/
It sounds every bit as stupid there, if not more so because it’s apparently a normal aspect of distribution licensing in the UK.
Game developers and publishers typically secure sync licences to cover the embedding of music in their titles.
However, in the UK, those sync deals do not extend to the making available of that music when games are subsequently distributed via download or streaming platforms.
The ‘communication to the public’ right — i.e. the making available right — sits with PRS, not individual music publishers, meaning Valve requires its own separate licence as the platform operator distributing games that contain PRS members’ works.
The canted wheels indicate this is a sports chair of some kind, don’t they? Seems odd for the setting of the picture.
Or just learn how the god damned devices you use work.
I do not understand how it became so normalized to just not bother with knowing how anything works. It’s not like this is a new thing either. So many old jokes surrounding people’s VCR clocks not being set.

The alternative is that the only thing with access to make changes in your production environment is the CI pipeline that deploys your production environment.
Neither the AI, nor anything else on the developers machine, should have access to make production changes.

Star Trek Social Club@startrek.website•The new Voyager game was pretty bad.English
0·30 days agoI agree that trading seems largely pointless. I renewed up extremely overpowered in combat when I played on the lowest difficulty. The middle difficult seems a bit more sensible so far, but I haven’t finished my run yet. Been enjoying the game overall though. Can’t say I ever ran into the need to scan planets as a result of an away mission.
They added manual saving in an update a few days ago.
I can get really annoyed when writers get stuff like that wrong.
I was reading a science fiction novel and just about every time a gun was fired in a vacuum the author included some detail about how the weapons were “vacuum sealed” or some such thing, so that they would fire without oxygen.
…except guns work just fine in a vacuum already. All modern firearm propellants (and many historical ones) are self-oxidizing and don’t rely on atmospheric oxygen to burn.
It snapped me right out of the book every time I came across it.
