It’s a running joke in the cartoon that people/animals keep calling Pumba a pig, he gets mad and insists he’s “Mr. Pig”.

Did you just call their mom a pig? It’s Mr. Pig!

Where’s their dad’s friend — Pumba?

I mean, they listen sometimes. But the point is, they, as any other company, were doing it to pretend that they are cool and progressive. As the result they got mostly negative reactions. So why bother with the effort if you’re only gonna reduce your already dwindling player base. IIRC, they were very small symbolic events anyway.

I’m pretty sure this happened because sooo many players complained about the event the last times. I remember boycotts and stuff.

I’m not saying Jagex isn’t bad, but this time it’s on players.

I gather you like to move it move it?

I didn’t know that it’s possible to collapse the post body, that’s good to know. In that case, it would be great if it there was an option to have it collapsed by default because vast majority of posts are images or links, and they are already visible on the left side, so opening a post just shows the content twice.

Alexandrite in shambles.

And it would be immensely better if there was an option to automatically scroll down to comments.

It’s definitely not just a couple of seconds, unless you have a very lightweight OS and only 1 or 2 apps to work with. And no matter how little extra time it takes to cold boot the system, there’s still no benefit to doing it that way, so no matter how little that time is, it’s still wasted.

As I mentioned, one is free to use their computer however they wish, but it doesn’t make it not wasteful to shut it down. If grabbing something to eat was part of my daily routine, I’d grab it beforehand, instead of needlessly going back and forth, wake the computer and use it immediately.

Firstly, I normally have way more than two apps open. And secondly, in case of a few apps, I personally still value the couple minutes of my time more than I do 2% of my battery. But to each their own.

I used to have a watercooled PC, I don’t remember it making any sounds while in sleep. Why would the pump run when PC is asleep?

I was mostly talking about stationary computers, but even in case of a laptop (unless it runs Windows which has terrible sleep management) the benefits of starting your work immediately once you open the lid outweighs the cons of losing a couple percent of battery overnight.

But you can’t bring the same argument back to me. Cold booting requires more time and effort. Thus to make that argument, one needs to provide the benefits that compensate for the downsides. Some people provided possible benefits that matter to their specific case, like, PSU makes noise (actually, that was you in a different thread), or they want to save laptop battery, etc. But if we are taking about a modern stationary computer with mains power, there’s practically no benefit to shutting it down, only downsides.

Of course it’s completely valid for somebody to do it out of habit, but they can’t expect to use that as a valid argument for others to do it.

But a sleeping computer is just as quiet as a shut down computer… Which is totally silent. I don’t get it.

Even if it’s only one app, what is the purpose? To save on electricity that powers RAM?

Even if the boot time is fast, you lose a lot of the program states. Not only it takes extra time to load those applications, it’s also a fair amount of effort to put everything back where it should be.

If it was necessary to shut computers down, no problem, it’s not too much time and effort. But there’s normally no need to shut computers down, it’s just wasted time with no benefits (usually).

I don’t think anybody in Seychelles ever seeds on purpose. Being a remote island (archipelago), the internet prices are insane. Almost nobody has uncapped internet, mostly only business.

But then it would just all be Linux? Was that what you were trying to say?

Are there actually people complaining that she’s ugly…? She literally looks like a model, just with some scars.

I merely tried to provide a response in the same tier as yours.
