I think it’s as much an indictment on falling maths literacy on the population as a whole when converting unit prices to a per-KG price as “complex”.

But that’s really besides the point of the majority of the article, as this is largely about converting customers online orders. If I’m ordering apples online, I’d want to buy on a per-unit basis (eg. 5 apples for the kids lunchbox), I’d be pretty miffed if I ordered 800g online - expecting 5 and only getting 4 bigger ones.

Still, the way this is currently implemented is pretty piss-poor - there generally shouldn’t be a per-unit price; charge per KG based on the final weight of produce selected, even if you give customers an option to buy per unit. But that involves weighing each line individually, slowing down the entire process and staff labour “shopping” for customers is a massive expense.

They’re trying to redefine it to Profitable Computing:

I still like claiming the free games even if I don’t have any immediate intention of playing them, simply because I like the idea of developers getting paid, and Tim Sweeney losing money!

I use a TP-Link Tapo doorbell which only records video on-site (I have not subscribed to the cloud service).

As best I understand, as the data is hosted locally - TP-Link are unable to share video with Law Enforcement even if they want to.

I want AI in games; Actual Innovation!

I’m in a similar situation with my wife not being particularly interested in games - I’ve had some success in playing LA Noire with her guiding the investigations and interrogations. The jazz soundtrack in particular helped convince her, funnily enough!

Not quite perhaps what you’re looking for, but may work for others with hesitant non-gamer partners.

Such a great game; doesn’t overstay its welcome and has just enough mechanics to keep things interesting.

I’ve replayed it every few years and it’s as good as I remembered it every time.

I feel similarly about Crysis and Far Cry 3 too - but am probably in the minority on those two.

Would you be able to DM me a link to whatever guide or resources you used to get that up and running?

I’d be keen for a similar single-player experience through MOP or Legion.

No shit; doing so would go against the paypig’s best interests.

Increased supply of cost-controlled housing would put downward pressure on housing prices, endangering all of those speculative investments!

It’s almost like climate change is a real thing, ‘ey? We’re past the “fuck around” portion, and well and truly into the “find out” portion.

They do round up, so in the very unlikely event of this ever passing - it would be given one congressman and two senators. All three would be Dems, so this will never happen.

It’s just pure rage bait, intended to distract away from the Epstein Files, Venezuela, and Renee Goode.

I thought they were Canadian, though? Weird…

It stands for All Cops Are Bastards.

It is a pretty common phrase in Australia - though mostly among older, more “stereotypical” Aussies.

But like with most things here, it all but surely originated in Europe and was brought over by migrants sometime between 50 and 100 years ago!

It’s weird seeing that branded as Sage - I’m so used to seeing it as Breville here in Australia.

Had that one for ages (a decade or so?), before it finally gave up the ghost. I replaced it with the glass version, and that’s been kicking on for a few good years now.

Literally hard for me to consider any other brands of kitchen appliances, honestly - Breville is my default pick now, whenever possible.

Echo’ing the other reply, but the Assassin’s Creed franchise (at least up to, but not including Origins) scratches my alt-history itch like nothing else has been able to.

Likewise, both Far Cry 3 and Far Cry 5 (inc. expansions) were absolutely fantastic IMO - and are some of the rare few FPS games I would willingly revisit.

Don’t take the above to mean my opinion of Ubisoft as a publisher is particularly glowing - let’s be honest, most publishers are absolute dogshit, due to perverse Capitalist incentives - and Stephanie Sterling’s segments about them on the Jimquisition should have been the final nail in their coffins.

I’ve found that as I’ve gotten older and more curmudgeonly, I’ve also become more nostalgic for the “good ol’ days” of gaming in the up-to-and-including the PS3/X360/Wii era - so my money has stayed largely away from AAA-publisher bank accounts.

The American Experiment is well and truly coming to an end, and I think we can mostly agree that it is ending an abject failure.

The big question is: what comes next? Will it be the age of the American Empire, or the start of America’s Century of Humiliation?

Mind you, neither answer is a particularly good one - seeing as how the rest of the world has basically built itself up based off the foundation of a unipolar world.

We are cursed to live in interesting times.

For anyone on the fence about this series (as I was, right until I saw this):

The series, created by R. Scott Gemmill, premiered in 2025 and tells the story of healthcare workers inside a Pittsburgh emergency room over the course of 15 episodes. Each season has taken course over one shift, with each episode covering an hour of the shift.

Immediately sold, starting as soon as I’m home.
