The punchline of your joke is that the answer is Oppenheimer, but it isn’t. Your joke just doesn’t make sense lol

Are they though? X-rays are emitted by electrons, not nuclei. They’re like, nuclear technology-adjacent. But if you had to pick just one moment in time, that moment is not x-ray technology

Either Rutherford or Fermi are who you’d probably credit for that given moment.

Oh well sure lol.

But if you want to isolate “The moment nuclear technology became known to man”, the splitting of the atom or the reactor that was built before the atom bomb are probably what you’re going to go with.

I’m not defending Tucker here but no it was not Marie Curie.

The splitting of the atom was only referenced in a single line in that movie and it wasn’t Oppenheimer who did it. Then Fermi’s first nuclear reactor was only briefly mentioned in one scene. Oppenheimer developed the nuclear bomb specifically.

As somebody who runs Ubiquity UniFi gear, it’s all flash and very little substance. Its dashboard will dazzle you with charts that either aren’t accurate, aren’t meaningful, or are generally unhelpful. It has a “new” (half a decade old now) and classic interface you can choose between, but neither interface gives you access to every setting you’ll need. I still to this day find myself swapping between them.

If you just need basic devices to make packets go, they do the job. But an average day in the life of a UniFi-enjoyer consists of things like trying to troubleshoot some kind of network issue only to find that the data collected by the devices doesn’t mathematically make sense, so you go to the UniFi forums just to find out it’s a bug that’s existed for years and has never been resolved. And on days like that, I find myself wishing I had something less flashy that would just allow me to see what’s going on with my network, accurately.

I don’t think the importance of the information stored changes the fact that storing it all in one centralized place is generally a bad idea. The latter is a bad idea, the former is a bad idea but with worse consequences. A decentralized internet is a healthy internet.

Yeah and why do we have more than one news organization, when we could just have one official news channel and you’d never have to go searching for news articles again. And we could have one central bank that holds all of our money, that would make sending money around much easier.

If you have an iPhone, it’s a pain over Tailscale because Tailscale frequently likes to disconnect for various reasons and this isn’t something Tailscale can fix, it’s something with the way Apple manages background processes.

If you’d like an alternative, you can host your services directly to the internet via a reverse proxy like Caddy or Nginx, and then use mTLS to secure that access with a certificate you load only onto your devices.

If that’s your definition of a low bar, then it hasn’t really fallen so much as it’s always been that low. From the beginning, games have gone without cutscenes, plot, even dialogue. Many of the greatest and most beloved games of this decade and the last have had sub par stories, and often times no plot, cutscenes, or characters to speak of at all, and yet they’re some of the best of all time. They’re three of the least important things for a game to have after all, especially the Borderlands games, where the story is little more than a vehicle to deliver more gameplay, and the gameplay in 3 is the best of the series. Thats the only thing that really matters when it comes to people wanting to play games.

Yeah people were spoiled by how good the characters and story were in Borderlands 2. They forgot how Borderlands 1 didn’t even really have a plot and for the most part doesn’t need one.

…yeah? It’s a video game, not a movie. Why would anyone let three things that aren’t crucial to a game stop them from enjoying the things that are crucial to a game? The skip cutscene button works just fine lol.

As a Borderlands sequel, or just as a game? I’ve never actually heard anyone complain about the gameplay. It’s the same gameplay the series is known for but even more refined, with tons of QoL improvements. It is quite literally the best in its class with no real equal.

The only thing I can imagine about your friends is that they didn’t get through much of the gameplay because they were turned off by the horrifically bad writing, cringelord villains, and a sense of humor firmly stuck 15 years in the past, which I would not blame them for.

Plot, characters, and writing aside, Borderlands 3 was a very well made and fun game on a technical level. I’m definitely interested in Borderlands 4, as long as we can continue to skip cutscenes lmao.

You ask who the fuck decided to sell your studio to a secretive block chain company

Most likely the private equity firm that owns your company

I think he’s talking about vidya

With the rise of private equity, you don’t even have to go public to sell out anymore. So many companies in operation today are empty shells puppeted by private equity firms who buy any company in any industry just to squeeze every last bit of profit out of them before throwing them away.

Just look at the veterinary industry and the mass disappearance of vet practices owned by the doctors who work there.

Well yeah “Dishwasher safe” is an endorsement. The lack of an endorsement is not an endorsement to the contrary. Something is only “dishwasher unsafe” if it says “Hand wash only”

Which is pretty funny because I distinctly remember AOE 3 being seen as a regression from 2.

I do remember liking the home city mechanics. Almost a roguelike in that you could improve your games over time out of band
