Oh for sure, I’m not worried at all, but if other people are I don’t see why they don’t just get it tested rather than buying hundreds of dollars in bottled water

Good, because as for my anecdotal evidence, I have family and friends who have lived in MSP for decades without any health issues and they all drink tap water.

Oh not saying it doesn’t happen at all, but it’s blown out of proportion for the most of the US. Main point is exactly that, when a city fucks up it becomes national news, if Pepsi fucked up it’s bottling (which comes from city sources anyway), they say “Oh no, we’re sorry”

I used Sync for Reddit since 2011 or so, that’s how I accessed Reddit 99% of the time. Then they just announced sorry, no more app. For me leaving Sync was akin to leaving Reddit anyway, and someone posted about Lemmy, I learned about the Fediverse, and I came over.

Now when I need to google something and Reddit pops up it feels… overencumbered . Heavy, too much going on with it. Lemmy feels clean, simple, what Reddit used to be. I won’t be leaving any time soon.

Not that I don’t trust your brother who… works for the pools, but is there any data to back up this claim? The claim that, if I read right, that there’s more chlorine in tap water than in the pools? Sounds like something we could easily have tested.

why trust or not? Just get it tested if you’re worried. Mentioned elsewhere in this thread, you can take a sample and send it out to find if everything is in safe levels. (Just remember all water is going to have impurity, the key words are safe levels)

whoopsie daisy, we shipped 500 million bottles of tainted water, “we’re sorry”. Meanwhile if a city did that it’d be national news for years.

I trust the city government with my water much much more than companies trying to save every penny bottling water.

Yeah I’m guessing this is it. They’re coming up on the end of development, which means it’s mostly QA and bugfixes. All of the difficult code has been written, now it’s time to start culling the expensive senior engineers while they patch the rest up. So long, there’s the door.

Of course RDR3 will ramp up and they’ll say “What do you mean we have to hire new people?”

So many gatekeepers. And worse when you’re having fun doing something that they don’t approve of.

See, that’s awesome to hear, and that makes me happy. I personally haven’t played them but my SO is super excited, and I think I’m going to pick it up for them. Thanks for being excited about games!

Man reading through comments here… I’m getting real burned out on the constant negativity in the gaming community. It’s always been negative, but ffs we used to have fun too. Now a new game drops, no issues I’ve heard so far and it’s still only negative stuff. Isn’t anyone excited?

I am shocked they couldn’t get everyone to wear a headset all the time for personal, work, and any other time for that price. I’m sure for 200 it’ll work.

This seems like one of those times where the leadership believes that there’s actually value in the name of the publication. When it comes to game news, there’s hardly any value in the name.

They aren’t the New York times of game news. I’m not going to think oh look a kotaku article just because of the name, I went there because of the quality of journalism that was there.

If the quality of journalism falls or has fallen then I won’t go there anymore. Simple as that. An editor like this I will probably follow to the next place that they start writing from.

Woopsie daisy! You mean this experimental prototype wasn’t meant to be auctioned off for our profit? Stopped watching LTT as soon as I learned that.

That’s a good callout, it does give the feeling of freedom. People have to know what credit means, and know how they will pay it.

I am pretty good at keeping a rough running tally in my head of how much I’ve spent, and so I can feel that I’m getting close to my limit. Big purchases too impact that a lot. However, I’ve worked with people who don’t have a system, or don’t have the ability to do that. Not knocking them, but you do need some ability to keep track of how much you’ve spent, either yourself or with a routing on checking your amounts.

As someone who spent years trying to repair my credit history because of a lot of things a lot of people did… You need to go check it

All true points. A pot of our parents grew up terrified of using credit or using it too much for everything and going into debt.

Credit is a tool to use. All the credit score does is show how good you are at using that tool. Can you use it responsibly, without abusing it out going into debt? They can’t score you on how well you use credit if you don’t use it at all.

Is there going to actually be stuff to do?

god forbid parents actually do any parenting. My mother took away my xbox/phone/computer when I played too much.

And for Rockstar? No parent should be letting their kids play rockstar games. But no, it’s of course not their problem.
