The average is more like 25-30 minutes. If it breaks 45 minutes then either it’s a really even game (which is fun), or the team that has the lead doesn’t know how to use their advantage to win (which is excruciating for both teams).

Still, you’re right, that’s a long time to be locked in with someone who is clearly weighing down the team. And of course, that person is probably embarrassed about their performance, so they’ll often lash out at other people to deflect from themselves, which will tilt the rest of the team even if they were chill until then.

The advantage that a lead gives you is also a lot bigger than in most other games. Players get drastically more powerful as they gain XP and money, so if one team gets an early lead, no amount of mechanical skill will be able to counter their advantage. The only way to catch up is to avoid fighting, drag the game out, farm NPCs, and try to punish the enemy’s mistakes. That’s extremely frustrating if you’re not the one who died and gave them the lead.

It’s hard to avoid getting caught up in all of that unless you decide to focus completely on your own game and improving over time, and stop caring about individual wins and losses. Most people don’t have that kind of perspective. I didn’t either back when I played League a lot.

The fans of some streamer are not going to kill you.

They do, most of the time. For example if you upload an heic file from an iPhone to a file input on a website that doesn’t accept heic files, it’ll upload a jpeg.

Apple can’t see or control all the different ways of transferring files, though, so in practice it still causes problems sometimes.

The strange thing is that some Android phones also save photos as heic files and make no attempt to convert them, so I still had to add logic to my websites to convert them myself.

I haven’t said anything on the subject before, because I don’t care very much, but I don’t know what the alternative is supposed to be. It’s not like someone who is that famous can walk into a public airplane without putting her own safety at risk and causing trouble for other passengers.

It’s also well known that conservatives really hate her because she told her fans to vote and these memes are part of their effort to discredit her. Whether the point has any merit or not, it’s obvious who started the trend and who it’s helping.

Why the fuck aren’t more people pressuring him with questions like this?

Because they’ll never get another interview with him, or most other Republican politicians. It’s a pathetic reason, but that’s all it takes.

Fair point. I always disliked the design because ORMs pretty much always use quotes, so an entity-first approach can create a lot of tables with capital letters if you’re not careful, which is then really annoying if you need to use raw SQL for anything.

Postgres normalizes table and field names to lowercase, unless you put them in quotes. It’s also case sensitive.

That means if you use quotes and capital letters when creating the table, then it’s impossible to refer to that table without using quotes.

It also means if you rename the table later to be all lowercase, then all your existing code will break.

Still a much better database than MySQL though.

Close encounters of the racist kind is a good read. Here’s the most relevant part:

Consider the H2 series “In Search of Aliens,” which, before its demise, promoted the work of Jan Udo Holey, a German writer whose antisemitic books have been banned across Europe. (Holey’s pen name, Jan Van Helsig, is a blunt Dracula reference, i.e. Jews are bloodsuckers.) The History Channel’s long-running series “Ancient Aliens,” meanwhile, features David Childress, whose books cite and build on the work of James Churchward, who promoted an ancient empire called the “lost continent of Mu,” whose “dominant race” was an “exceedingly handsome people, with clear white or olive skin.”

The history channel is entry level nazi propaganda.
