In a time when water levels universally sucked, it was a bold move to make the entire game a water level. I remember enjoying it too, never did complete it tho.

Back on my OG DooM bullshit. I gave Almalgoom a go and it inspired me to get back into mapping again after about 30 years.

Unrelated, but why are there two different styles of crosswalk? I’m not from the states and I’ve never seen either before.

Assuming these are trinary chips, something the USSR pioneered in the late 1950s and early 60’s.

Yeah I’m having issues last day or two. I feel like it’s been intermittent up until today. Now nothing loads, here or federated.

EDIT: Okay, weird. Image posts don’t load but embeds in comments do. At least, embeds in comments on federated comms.

EDIT 2: Embed uploads aren’t working either.

Stuff like this isn’t usually packed strictly by weight. It’s packed by “volume that probably weighs about the right amount based on average density”. In most places there is a legally allowed +/- % to enable manufacturers to churn out slop as quickly and efficiently as possible. They’re supposed to have a QA department that makes sure it averages out over a large number of packages, but in practice who knows. Regulators are usually too busy / understaffed / underfunded to police that kind of shit proactively anyway, and even if they do get caught, the fine is probably less than the savings they’d get from shorting customers en masse. The manufacturer will absolutely have done the math on that.

So fuckit, more power to him.

The site asks for contributions ranging from $10, which will earn donors a vote on the location of where the statue will be permanently installed, to $25,000 to receive a limited quarter-life-size bronze replica.

Oh, it’s a grift.

It’s better than iron dome because it’s gold.

Fun thought exercise but functionally irrelevant. It still feels like I’m making decisions, so that’s close enough.

Bazzite only really does gaming mode on AMD GPUs (RX4xx+). As a general rule of thumb AMD cards are usually better supported under Linux. Bazzite’s desktop mode should work fine on a 1660 though.

DMCA in 5… 4…

McD’s changes their menu and business practices to suit the local market. In India they don’t do beef at all.

This is covered in another thread on this post if you actually want to know. I suspect you don’t, and just want to post gotcha arguments in bad faith.

Just lurk there for a while. IMO, biggest misconception is that they’re omnicidal lunatics. They have a lot of in-jokes and bits that seem incomprehensible and border on unhinged to an outsider, and sometimes they kinda lean in to the perception. But if you spend enough time there you realise they’re very intelligent and deeply empathetic people. The “unlimited genocide on the first world” rhetoric is an expression of frustration rather than actual intent.

My experience as a mature student has been similar, I’ve had a couple of people in group projects try to use AI and get resoundingly mocked for it by the rest of the group. Which was kinda vindicating.

Watching the uni policy on it evolve over the last couple years has been interesting. For a while individual unit heads would just have their own policies so it ranged from “AI = insta-fail” to “you can use AI to help with phrasing in your writing but provide examples of how”.

Now the uni seems to have settled on a cohesive policy of not allowing it for writing, but encouraging its use for summarising articles before reading them to determine relevancy, or rubber ducking your own work.

GDP per capita, the survey finds, is inversely correlated with this sense of meaning: The wealthier a country gets, the more bereft of meaning its citizens feel.

The researchers also found that these results were likely explained by secularism in richer nations.

Profit goes up, happiness goes down. Nah, must be the secularism, folks just need god.

He did also mention “technologically mediated socialising” – pretty sure that’s code for “it’s the phones”.

It’s the phones, isn’t it?
