When I was a little kid I was in this exact situation but for different reasons. The lady who babysat me and my siblings had a PS1 that had no memory card in it. She couldn't be bothered to buy a memory card because old. The PlayStation had one game and that game was crash bandicoot. If memory serves there might have been some kind of level codes that you could put in, but we never did for whatever reason. (The stipulation might have been that you get level codes after you complete an island, but it took us months to complete the first island). We just started the game over from scratch every time we turned it on which was every day after school and played the first level, second level, and so forth maybe getting up to the second island which is after the first boss. It really sucked the fun out of the game, and commiserating over it made that old lady super mad because she didn't understand why we weren't having fun or what saving was. The old game super Mario Bros 3 actually doesn't have any kind of saving feature and it's a game with about eight worlds. I remember as a little kid getting super good at the first three worlds, finding all the secrets, finding a bunch of warp whistles and stuff, and getting good enough to get to about the sixth world. What's nuts is I didn't realize but, the designers of the game made it to where that would be how it was played. These "Easter eggs" we're intentionally put in the game to get you through it because you weren't expected to finish it at one go.
I like long dog. Fear the old blood.
Crypt of the necrodancer basically is this.
She thought it was diet, was disgusted at the 140 calories.
Cream soda. I had a plastic dinosaur shaped cup to drink from one summer and was required to keep it the entire time. I drank a 2 liter of cream soda over a couple days then every single other thing I drank from it tasted like cream soda. Water, milk, other soda. For a whole summer. I don't drink cream soda now. Weirdly enough, my brother, another dinosaur cup haver from that summer, loves cream soda.
Fascinating. I am a plant absolutist. I believe we should kill all the domesticated animals as they are a sub par food source. Plants are better and raising them is better on resources and taste. All animal products are flavored with plants, not the other way around. Beef is flavored by onion and garlic. Plain beef is nasty. Killing the animals would take a lot of energy. Perhaps releasing them, as they are worthless to superior tasting Plant, would be fine. As long as they don't get in the way. If they do, kill, then discard corpse. Plants.
The comedy is created by subversion of your expectation that college degreed people would not be working at a fast food place. The interaction is meant to be read initially as a neutral status interaction and then slides into a upper to lower status interaction as the post reveals that the answer to the implied question from the customer is that the cashier has an art degree. The initial humor is at the expense of the cashier. The next part of the joke reveals that the customer is, in fact, of true lower status of the two because they don't understand the horror of a world that will result from devaluing those with art knowledge, exemplified in the joke as those with art degrees. The art degree here is a stand in for our capacity for human empathy and connection. What fools we would be without it. What greater fools could we become if we actively refused to cultivate it. We could become evil, and that fact, that true evil that can exist and we could have blindness to it or even become it, is the comedy here. The banality of the customer here, the interaction, the shittiness of it all, that is the comedy. How this helps, it was not generated in any way by AI and it's fuckin sad that I have to say that.
Is this Batman on Father's Day?
Indeed, completely agree. In this case they are the pirates.
What I do is sort the directories and files by size and go largest to smallest. Based on the likely distribution of files sizes, 20% of your files and/or directories will account for 80% of the hard drive space. I usually then choose candidates for deletion and evaluate them, deleting them on the spot or skipping them for this time. I do this until I get the space reduction I want or until I'm sure that I want to keep what is in the largest 20%. After I reach one of the two states: top 20% of files/directories are keepers or I deleted down X GB. This method can be done with any sorting method. For example, by play count or by date added, old to new. Keep going until the top 20% are keepers. The same distribution is likely to apply across all vertical data labels so the filter is generically usable in lots of situations. For example, 20% of car drivers likely get 80% of speeding tickets. We could reduce speeding by 80% by speed limiting these drivers' cars or by revoking their drivers licenses. Another example is memory hogs in a computer system. The top 20% of memory hogging programs likely account for 80% of used memory in a system. This distribution is called the Pareto principle. The principle is an example of a power law.
