When you burn a disc it means using a laser to etch the data as pits and lands in a track on the disc. You’re physically changing the disc when you write to it.

I’ve never had an original thought in my life
A French embassy built in 1841 when the territory was its own country. It’s now a 5 minute walk to the nearest Wendy’s from there.
Get a timer controlled power outlet and hook a Hitachi magic wand to it. Place the wand under your pillow. The vibration is super intense and gets uncomfortable at the highest setting. Bonus points you can wake and bate since you have a massager handy.
I have to do the same thing but my natural response isn’t to attack others based on physical traits or religious beliefs. My natural response is to figure out who’s hoarding the most resources and convince them it’s in their best interest to share lest others take a more violent approach at a more desperate time.
Assume someone is already going to buy a Chromebook for $200-300. Why not spend $900-1000 on a nicer laptop or desktop and need a console at all?
And if you’re a certain age, why invest in an ecosystem that will die with the next hardware iteration, when you’ve seen it happen over and over? I bought a cartridge of Super Mario Bros 3 in 1993 with my birthday money. Why should I have to buy it again, ever, if I still own the cart? Why not invest in an ecosystem that’s by and large always backwards compatible?
Same. Upgrading the computer I was already going to buy with hardware to play games was cheaper than the console.
Weird comparison.
I already own a computer to do daily work in other areas of my life. Why not add the extra $700 to my PC budget and access 35+ years of gaming history, vs. paying $700 to access ~700 games that I can’t play when the next hardware iteration drops?
It’s fine. No metallic taste since it’s not a reactive metal. In the microwave you just have to make sure it doesn’t contact the edge. You only get arcing of metal when there are sharp points or loops, which aren’t present on a disc.
I want to throw a lemon-themed birthday party, does anyone know of a good website to get ideas for events and decorations at a lemon-themed party?
Tried this, they’re all broken. Corelle flatware lasted quite awhile, but were still no match for my wife and kids. Everything is now stainless steel.
Yes. I’ve never had anything in Europe labeled as “spicy” that wouldn’t be outclassed by a mild hot sauce in the US. Closest I’ve come is an Indian restaurant in London. Also the hot sauce at Nando’s was an honorable mention.
Meanwhile the minimum spice level at the hole in the wall Mexican restaurant down the street in Texas is at the same level and hot enough in the high end that I can’t handle it. It’s perfect.
The standard ones should be standardized and any extras in an adjacent header. Power, reset, power LED, and HDD LED should be a single block.
Carbon steel loses 70% of its strength at 800 degrees though.
A 172 is the plane you train to get a beginner license in. 90-120mph max.
The first news broadcast I can remember the subject of is Tom Brokaw talking about a bombing in Bosnia… because I liked the alliteration.
Hearthstone. So… Fine? I guess? I’m in a StormWind tavern as a human, and if I die I can resurrect at the nearest graveyard. Seems fine to me.
Moist Von Lipwig?
As a mechanical engineer who spent multiple thousands of hours using SolidWorks, trying to use FreeCAD felt like flying a Cessna 172 after getting used to a Citation jet.
It’s not like the value added for that 30% tax isn’t there. Steam has made so many things so easy that it’s easy to forget what things were like decades ago.
If you were an independent game publisher, you had to figure out how to set up a web storefront, a content delivery network hosted in perpetuity, take payments, do multiplayer, add in-game chat, map every weird joystick and gamepad in the universe to your control scheme, achievements, friend lists… And every game developer had to do that independently because there was no public solution, really. The friction to enter the indie dev space was so much higher.
Also, steam does not force you to use their store- you can generate steam keys and sell your game away from the steam platform. The only thing that they enforce is if you sell it for a lower price elsewhere, they’ll de-list your game. Which I think is reasonable.
