I feel like faith provides a disproportionate of comfort compared to guidance. People take the parts of religion they agree with, and discard the rest. I actually think this is good practice, but it becomes an issue when they use the affirmation of the broader religion to justify their actions.

A moral compass is something you have to find for yourself, and acknowledge that it is not backed up or justified by any other entity than yourself.

For me, I’ve found a good starting point is the TST tenets. Compared to the 10 commandments, they are much more broad. I can use them as a lens to analyze a variety of different situations and organize my thoughts and feelings.

But that doesn’t mean that I use TST to justify my actions, the tenets are my tools of introspection. Heck, the 7th tenet even acknowledges that the tenets are only guiding principles and seems to encourage finding your own morals.

Minecraft wiki is the wiki I have visited most often and it’s not even close. The amount of detailed technical information on nearly every aspect of the game is unmatched. Thanks to Citricsquid as well as all the moderators and editors!

That sounds so childish. Be better.

It depends on the type of vegan. If they are vegan because they don’t like hurting animals, then lab grown meat is fine. If they are vegan because eating meat has a negative effect on their health, then it’s not fine.

The statement “The excretions of the jabbed are toxic. Singles, be very selective.” would be a lot funnier 5 years ago.

I believe it. A friend of mine raised the price of his game from free to $2 with a big update, and still kept the download for the older version free. He got all sorts of backlash, even death threats. These people are children.

Unity actually gives any class with the name GameManager a special gear icon. You cant just forgo the cool gear icon!

(Its not too terrible from an organizational standpoint because most of the scripts are attached to game objects. MonoBehavior is a component of GameObject. For instance, you’d never have player movement in the GameManager class, you would put it in the component class attached to the player character GameObject.)

What if you had piece of ice with an air cavity where the Mentos is placed, then sealed in? I think that might work, bit it’s certainly tricky to set up.

I actually use one of these for work. It fits comfortably in my pocket and don't burn my fingers when I have to light up a bunch of sterno burners.

I occasionally use semicolons. They can help with parsing; finding a semicolon instead of a period may signify that the next expression is a continuation and expansion of the previous statement.

You guys are talking about two different things. Random integer vs random float

Bit hacker 2 is really fascinating. It uses a bit mask of all 1s (-1) or all 0s (0) and takes advantage of the fact that y ^ (x ^ y) = x and y ^ 0 = y

Because you could argue that the series converges to …999999 in some sense

You can also prove it a different way if you allow the use of the formula for finding the limit of the sum of a geometric series on a non-convergent series.

Sum(ar^n, n=0, inf) = a/(1-r)

So,

…999999

= 9 + 90 + 900 + 9000…

= 9x10^0 + 9x10^1 + 9x10^2 + 9x10^3…

= Sum(9x10^n, n=0, inf)

= 9/(1-10)

= -1

Open Hexagon is pretty good if you enjoy music reaction/arcade games. It’s an open source successor of Super Hexagon with several community made level packs. The only flaw is the steep learning curve of the gameplay.

Wasted? No Nutella was wasted in coating every surface. If there was any left over I’m sure he would have lathered another coat on. /j

Im a bit late, but there is a neat modpack that is designed to rebalance the game around the early to midgame. It nerfs villagers, changes how mending works, disables iron farms, buffs minecarts, and has several other rebalances. Musketeer Modpack
