The size of this current console gen is strange TBH. Consoles have always been smaller and more compact than a full fledged Desktop PC.

I was taking my brand new PS4 on work trips and playing games all the time. No way that’s happening with the size of the PS5.

Consoles aren’t supposed to be portable I understand that BUT it’s definitely a consideration for a subset of customers that are on the go.

I prolly won’t get a PS5 unless I’m burning cash when GTA6 comes out.

They are and they’re also complicit.

Stopped reading when he mentioned he OWNS 31 McDonalds in NYC area and that his dad was a Wall Street broker.

That don’t sound like work to me.

But he got an A in gender studies…… can’t be on a conservative bubble…… ya know…. cause he made friends there. /s (just in case)

When I saw this I realized there is a whole generation that will never know why there are no A or B drives.

I feel like you might like the book Doomed based on your username. Lol

Left out the part we’re Meta gave prosecutors evidence from “private” messages. That’s absolutely crucial info.

Here’s Lies: Oregon Trail Generation.

Reads our tombstone somewhere between Fort Laramie and Independence Rock.

I was thinking the same thing. I have no idea what it’s supposed to say.

Good luck with that.

When I was a member living in Utah and ran into a financial issue they wanted to look at my bills and help me figure out how to cut costs out of my budget first.

His suggestion- cancel your cell phones a land line is much cheaper. He also suggested I sell my smart phone and get a dumb phone.

That wouldn’t have helped at all as at that time phones were on contracts for 2 years and I’d have had to pay for the full price of the phone if I left the contract early. I’d have LOST $500 between retail and what I could sell the phone for.

I ended up just borrowing money from a friend.

Keep in mind the Mormon church has a hedge fund worth OVER $100 billion.

I searched for husavara images once because we were watching an old b sci-fi movie where they dressed one up with crappy “prosthetics” but didn’t paint it and I wanted to prove that’s what it was.

I got huskavara and John Deere ads all over my socials pretty much exclusively the next day and extremely frequently for a week afterwards. There’s just no way those were there prior to that search. I turned off targeted ads and never saw them again.

I believe op when he says he was inundated with them.

Yes more agile and more focused…… on the bottom line.

I have had zero respect for a BioWare since Mass Effect 3. It’s a shame cause they WERE the best studio out there before EA took over. Fuck EA.

Anyone else notice the clever license plate. “Beam me up”

Im finding that people have strong opinion on what qualifies as organic. Haha.

I think it’s cool I can talk to people about chemistry outside of work tho. None of my friends understand anything about what I do for a living.

You’re right- primarily because science changes as new things are discovered and therefore the definition changes.

I still think the definition I learned with C-H covalent bonds indicating organic has fewer exceptions than other definitions.

Charcoal and activated charcoal are not amorphous carbon compounds because their structures contain other elements than just carbon.

None of those compounds would be stable. Theoretically you’re making a good point for an exception to C-H bonds defining organic chemistry but I bet all of your fully halogenated compounds would degrade and break apart until some number of hygrogens replace the halogens to make it stable.

Point taken tho.

According to Wikipedia it is- but I agree after looking at its structure that it is not.

There are no carbon-hydrogen covalent bonds in the structure.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbonic_acid#:~:text=In chemistry%2C carbonic acid is,quite stable at room temperature.

Your link claims any compound with carbon is organic (there are exceptions listed) which really doesn’t fit either since there so many exceptions.

I was glib with my organic chemistry because it’s not just hydrogen atoms specifically but more the covalent bond between carbon and hydrogen that makes it organic so they have to be bonded covalently to be considered organic.

There’s still exceptions to this definition but they’re far fewer and usually only found in extremely unstable compounds like the fully halogenated fringe cases you mentioned in another comment.

Not really completely false just missing a piece of information- ie I should have mentioned they be bonded but carbonic acid and ketones are both organic compounds so I’m not sure what you’re trying to say there.

Edit: carbonic Acid is not because there are no C-H bonds.
