I’ve been doing it for about two years now and I think it’s pretty incredible. Consistently having a third day off can do wonders; commute only 4 times a week, your third day off is a weekday so basically always have a great day to go shopping, appointments, etc while everyone else is at work. I don’t think I could ever go back to 5 8’s. The only thing better would be 4 8’s

“All trainees are reminded: drink 1/2 to 3/4 canteen per hour, not to exceed 12 canteens per day. You will drink 3 non-caffeinated, non carbonated beverages with each and every meal.”
Is what was recited daily when I was in basic training. And yeah, heat stroke is a big issue. I don’t think you can blame the instructors really; everyone knows someone that says water tastes bad or whatever. All the instructors know is that everyone better be drinking their water.
Pra@sh.itjust.worksto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•If you don't work IT, retail, or food service what do you do for work?4·11 months agoThanks for your service soldier. I wanted to retire too, but at 8 years my bop code expired and I got a nice little email congratulating me on becoming an mtl at Sheppard. I bop’d out of Texas and there was no way they were getting me to go back. It sucks because I did really like the air Force but the transition from e4 mafia to nco blew lol. No longer do your job and instead I was pushing paper and disciplining troops for ditching pt. And then do only that for 3 years for high schools kids in middle of nowhere Texas? 😂 Denied the retraining, cert’d up my last year, then got a job doing my same job with less work and for way more pay. The air Force classic lol.
Always glad to hear a good retirement story though. Most of the people I knew who retired were jaded as hell by the end of it. Hopefully the air Force didn’t break your body too bad though… Have a cold one for me! Air power!
It was cool in 2010 when I was like 14 and had an iPod touch but didn’t have wireless Internet access at home because my parents didn’t understand the concept of a router and thought they would have to pay for it, plus christian concern over porn and corruption on the net. So I could go to like McDonalds or whatever, download all of these game review articles, web novels, and whatever else I was into at the time so that when I got back home I could still interact with the web.
Nowadays, yeah I don’t really get the point. Everyone’s permanently plugged in so a regular bookmark is fine. Also in case anyone was concerned, my buddy eventually gave me his old router and I secretly set up WiFi in my house so I was good for the rest of the time I lived at home 👍

Pra@sh.itjust.worksto Technology@lemmy.world•So much for free speech on X; Musk confirms new users must soon pay to postEnglish1·1 year agoI use it because I follow a lot of Japanese artists and mangakas. It’s nice because ya know Twitter is English so getting around is pretty easy. Stuff like pixiv seemed intimidating because it’s made for a Japanese audience, even if they have English stuff. Plus I just know how to use Twitter after making my account in 2009.
Pra@sh.itjust.worksto The Onion@midwest.social•Help! My Boyfriend Is 5 Years Older Than Me And Won’t Stop Making References to Early 2000s Flash Animations I Don’t UnderstandEnglish1·1 year agoWhen I tried to play RuneScape, I did it on my uncle’s computer. RuneScape asked me to verify if I was 13, which I wasn’t, so I clicked no. Then the site proceeded to block me from making an account, along with storing a cookie I guess that prevented me from just refreshing the page and trying again. I felt pretty bad because I thought they banned my uncle’s computer forever from playing lol. Hence I never played RuneScape…
Pra@sh.itjust.worksto The Onion@midwest.social•Help! My Boyfriend Is 5 Years Older Than Me And Won’t Stop Making References to Early 2000s Flash Animations I Don’t UnderstandEnglish41·1 year agoSo many hours wasted on addicting games. I think the impossible quiz was the first thing I played on it.
For all you boomers out there, there was a game I used to play on addicting games that was like a smash clone, except I think you could get like guns and lightsabers and stuff? It wasn’t super smash flash or …
As I was googling more evidence that it wasn’t a fever dream I made up, I found it! The game was called chaos faction. Fuck I spent a lot of time on that…

Now it’s in the same vein as 2d pixel shooter rougelikes, way too saturated. I never give these a second look because there’s just so many uninspired clones.

In case anyone doesn’t know, the mobile port is incredible when you don’t have time to play a full run.
Wikipedia lists India at #2 in English speakers, behind the US. While a ton, I’m sure most of them would still be using their own Indian sites over a niche of a niche site like Lemmy.
Would it be because most EU countries are using other sites that are in their own language? Idk why I’d visit a predominantly English site if my English wasn’t super proficient. That would just leave the US, UK, and Aus mostly, and the US dwarfs those by quite a bit.

The performance issues suck but I can live with it since it’s only in the city where I’m just talking to NPCs. Everything else is fun as hell
Pra@sh.itjust.worksto Games@lemmy.world•[Gamers Nexus] Dragon's Dogma 2 is a Mess: GPU & CPU Benchmarks, Bottlenecks, & CrashesEnglish2·1 year agoYeah I feel you there are a lot of features that I feel they could and the game still be “realistic” like they claim. I’m not sure if you know though, you can store items at inns and with the weight limit being what it is, it has forced me to be less of a loot goblin and not just picking everything up in a square mile. Buying back from vendors would be cool, but it’s also a pretty common mechanic to be missing from games too.
