Depends on where you live too. I can see the northern lights where I’m at pretty regularly anyway but last night they went all kinds of crazy.

I haven’t played Timberborn but I almost did pick it up on the spring sale, decided to get dotAGE instead to see what all the fuss was about and damn I love it. It’s a lot more of a worker placement game and is a roguelike so if that doesn’t interest you it might not be for you but damn it’s good so far.

If it helps try thinking of it as a “boomer shooter” because of the proliferation of rockets and rocket physics in classic games like Unreal and Quake

All of the Virtute The Cat songs by The Weakerthans, but Virtute The Cat Explains Her Departure in particular will make me tear up any time I hear it.

(for those curious, here are all 3 songs):

This is now the 4th time they’re trying? Give it up already…

I definitely would love to see a rework of the network stack at large but idk how you’d do it without an insane amount of cooperation among tech giants which seems sort of impossible

They “supported” a bill that they immediately circumvented, yeah. They had no interest in protecting right to repair they just wanted the PR. It should surprise no one that they’re opposed to actual bills that force them to alter their business practices.

These companies tend to own or have long term leases, so either they are stuck paying rent and have to justify the expense or they own an asset that is depreciating in value and they could stop that from happening by spending no money to force their employees back into the office. You have to think about the big money, too. Real estate is a cornerstone asset for big money, many banks and real estate empires hold these enormous office buildings and society trending towards WFH means those buildings are rapidly losing their value.

Just had a Sneepo Bar from Egypt the other day and it is basically a snickers bar except like really, extremely fucking good (it’s like actual nougat in there boys) and now all I want is more Sneepo.

I’m having lobster tail, mushie peas and unclel Ben’s rice. It’s not the most elaborate meal but it’s comforting and delicious.

In the US most do not own a kettle

Ah, there’s the rub. Thanks I was having a hard time figuring this one out.

I have bad news for you because it seems obvious you have never done basic construction: You’re not replacing builders with computers any time soon.

Nobody is saying that but reading a headline that says “Construction company prints some walls!” and then saying “welp that’s it they’re out here just 3D printing whole ass buildings” is pretty uh… Dumb.

No they aren’t :/ They can make bricks and ‘print’ walls, which is really just a cool way of pouring concrete. Hardly printing a house.

Was just coming to say this. Googles apps are an enormous pain in the ass to get rid of.

Get it’s ass in gear? Apple has been actively fighting RtR and expandability in every way and only ‘supported’ the last RtR bill in Cali because they already had a circumvention in place using versioning. This is the exact same thing, PR gets to say they’re carbon neutral while they pump the exact same amount of CO2 into the air each year. It’s not just bad practice it’s deceitful.

It wouldn’t improve anything about the resolution or quality of the image you’d just get slightly more of the image. Seems like it would be useful in niche situations though.

Yup, or the Apple play which is just walk right around these regulations with some additional tricky bullshit while outwardly ‘supporting’ RtR. If I was a lawmaker I would be so fucking livid about this circumvention I would come back even harder but I guess I don’t know a lot about that process.

Yup. That has to be it honestly. I’ve mulled it over a lot and if Musk knows a single thing it’s finance. These moves have all been financial. Twitter, I suspect, was not profitable when he bought it. Rather than admit he did a mistake, he tank it. Tracks with his egomaniacal moves so far.
