I didn’t shove it that deep. I just tried to clean just inside my ear, which was enough to shove some ear wax further up my ear and clog it. I now know (and frequently lecture my wife) that qtips should only be used on the outside of the ear.
I inadvertently clogged one of my ears with a Qtip, effectively making me deaf in that ear. I tried to wait it out, but I eventually started to get a headache. Went to the clinic, and they flushed my ear out. I don’t use Qtips anymore.
Yeah, I will not pretend that I did not have fun with it. However, by the end of it I had not desire for more of it. As a result, I haven’t played any of the sequels.
I find it kind of funny that Spider-Man is held up as some sort of golden standard to adhere to in all of this. Spider-Man is also very average game imo. The gameplay is not very compelling, and it’s no surprise that Insomniac’s approach would overstay its welcome after a couple of games. Doubly so when you move from Spider-Man, a character with a more diverse moveset and inherent better traversal abilities, to Wolverine.
Bright white gravy is probably garbage from a packet. A gravy made with quality, flavorful sausage will always add a bit of color.

Devil’s advocate take: was the phone app the only way to ease your anxiety, or was it just an option that was recommended due to the trend of trying to have our phone do everything?
The best way to “stand up for yourself” when a company that sells a luxury product is to not buy said product. In which case this tariff nonsense doesn’t affect you. More people were affect by the increase in the cost of groceries and gas than the cost of a Switch 2.
IMO I think it’s weird to focus specifically on Nintendo. The American government basically screwed over its populace and a ton of foreign companies (less sympathy for the latter though). I don’t think it’s realistic to expect these companies to reimburse customers, because logistically it’d be a nightmare. The only way I can imagine consumers getting their money back is if the government used the tarrif money to pay a portion of the federal income tax for its citizens, ideally the lower tax bracket. Unfortunately that won’t happen.
You can use regular dish soap on a cast iron. The big no-nos are soaking for an extended period of time and not hand-drying after washing
“operating at a loss” =/= “low revenue”
That is a much stronger argument, except Israel is hardly ever portrayed as a “hero.” The Bible portrays Israel as a nation that is constantly going astray and making the wrong decisions.
Lol, somebody hasn’t actually read the Bible. You have taken quite a few liberties, just in the first few points.
and considering that’s almost half of the steps, I don’t think we need to go any further
Who are you trying to apply the Hero’s Journey too? Jesus? Because it doesn’t really fit at all.
Just fyi: MDPI-published research does not have a good reputation.
Improved hardware capabilities used to come very quickly (see Moore’s Law and Dennard Scaling). However that trend is basically over, so getting higher performance hardware takes a lot of effort to make hardware specialized for certain tasks. That’s why you see there inference accelerators like Groq, SambaNova, Cerebrus, etc. However this is hardware that still is gonna go into data centers. Something innovative has to happen on the AI side for commercial-grade models to be runnable on consumer hardware.
You can divide culture and grammar. It’s simple: your hypothetical long exchange can trchnically be expressed in the Japanese language at 1/5 the length and still retain grammatical correctness and meaning. i.e. the long exchange is not a result of the technical aspects of language, i.e. it has nothing to do with pronoun ommission. The cultural aspect of language is what makes the conversation long. And you’re making a huge assumption about the context of the exchange. Is it between two strangers? Family members? Sibling? Friends? A king and a peasant? Classmates? All of these situations would have exchanges with different lengths and grammar, but this arises from the culture. We do the same thing in English too. On average, an email between a boss and an employee will probably be longer and more formal than between two friends, no? Not as long as an equivalent email in Japanese, but the same trend exists in both languages is my point.
“Politness ping pong” has a lot less to do with the technical aspects of Japanese and more to co with cultural norms. i.e. it’s not a design flaw in the grammar.
Legitimately not sure you’re joking, so I’m just going to drop this in case you aren’t: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cleansing_of_the_Temple
I think the entire field of AI (not just the generative AI subset) should’ve been called “simulated intelligence” or something like that. It points to the goal of the field (i.e. to achieve something similar to intelligence) without the implicit claim that any of the contributions achieve true intelligence.
