Right, that’s a fair criticism with regards to microtransactions. I don’t know much about those kinds of games though, so I can’t really say much about it.

My partner bought Skyrim twice (Steam and Switch) and 100%'d both, and now is going through the same process with BG3. I’m just thinking about how the achievement system is acting like a multiplier to the game’s value in this instance.

In a system where you pay once for the game, isn’t that a good thing? It lets you enjoy the game for longer instead of making you constantly buy new games, thus spending less money for the same amount of enjoyment.

My local grocery store recently renovated and reorganized the whole store. They placed the rotisserie chickens right by the checkout, next to the impulse purchases rack.

For me, it’s a matter of restoring the convenience and UX that you’ve given up by leaving the big providers.

I would like to see standardized glass containers. Pay a deposit for them, keep and use them for as long as you like, bring them back in good condition to any participating restaurants to get your deposit back.

Absolute numbers are meaningless. Tell us what percentage of the voting population and seats that represents.

The brands I see that produce regular milk also make lactose free milk here, so I’m guessing they’re all processed the same way within the brand but just with added lactase at some point. Different brands probably do things differently. It’s usually 2-3 weeks for both regular milk and lactose free.

Is your lactose free milk prepared/packaged differently from your regular milk? The two keep for just as long here.

Ice cream should be sold by weight. Volume makes Calorie counting so much more complicated.

Honestly, if my career didn’t rely on it, I would entirely skip the publishing part of science. It takes so much more work to communicate your findings than to make them. Of course, that doesn’t help the cause since no one else will be able to build off of my work if I don’t share it.

I don’t know if this is a problem specific to Canadian Protein’s vegan protein, but the one time I tried it, it had the kind of grittiness that sent me into a coughing fit on each sip. Completely undrinkable. It also had this awful flavour evocative of wet cardboard, which they assured me was normal.

What would you gain from that? We care about the difference between two interventions. We’re not looking to determine whether an intervention has an effect or not.

AI is such a broad term that I’m sure they have something that qualifies.

Have you ever considered how many times you’ve thought “no shit” in response to something completely wrong?

There are easier and more effective ways to make girls want to be with you.

This is indeed one of the main reasons people start, but it quickly switches over to working out for yourself. So while what you say is true, I don’t agree with messages of this nature because it takes away one of the strongest motivators for a lot of people to better themselves.

Even better is if they controlled for total protein intake, since we know that to be an important factor in muscle growth.

There are already plenty of studies comparing results as a function of protein quantity.

I inherited one of those but stopped using it because I had no idea how to clean it. I also don’t often run into situations where I need to spray oil.

I’ve just been hoarding all the twist ties that come with other purchases. Only costs me a little bit of sanity every time I look in that drawer.

Growing more corn doesn’t seem to be possible without also growing more soy.
