  • I had an employee at a touch tank at an aquarium explain to me that stingrays swim around in giant schools constantly touching each other so they really just like being pet and touched, and as we were chatting (it was a really slow day) I could see the stingrays dancing and getting antsy because they weren't getting enough attention and the employee just kept petting them as they kept coming up and bouncing out of the water clearly going "Pet me! Pet me!"

  • Closing in on a universal vaccine: Nasal spray protects mice from respiratory viruses, bacteria and allergens

    Jump

  • Such a vaccine would be an incredible and life if not society changing medical advancement if it is in fact safe and effective. Such incredibly soughtafter medical breakthroughs of course require an equally incredible amount of skepticism and rechecking of data when one does come across them. Here's hoping this is a major stepping stone to universal vaccination, because that would be incredible

  • Valve Sued By The Performing Rights Society Over Music Rights in Games Valve Doesn’t Make or Own

    Jump

  • Streamer mode is typically for one of two usecases:

    1. The streamer plays their own music, so being able to silence all game music simplifies things
    2. The game might contain copyrighted music by known artists, which can trigger automated enforcement. In most jurisdictions music used in a game is fine to stream/record because it's covered by the developer's/distributor's license, but that doesn't stop overzealous rights holders from placing bogus claims that can muck up your revenue, so it's easier to just not play music that you don't yourself have license to play

  • Dodge Ram truck is illegally parked on Bryant Ave S protected bikelane, Minneapolis.

    Jump

  • A while back there was a local kerfuffle because some vandal was slashing the tires of cars which came to visit a local park at the top of a bluff. The vandal would only slash 3/4 tires and it apparently made getting insurance to cover it hell because insurance would cover 4 damaged tires but not only 3. Also 3 tires is more likely to be less than/about the insurance deductible thereby making it more costly to the owner. So the vandal was really causing maximum possible chaos by slashing only 3 tires

  • I think at this point Mint is a brilliant option for mom or Dad's laptop that's still on Windows 10 and Microsoft deemed "too insecure" for Windows 11, but Bazzite and other newer Distros do so much better at being distros for gamers right out of the box that those are better to recommend to gamers

  • Seagate just unleashed 44TB hard drives

    Jump

  • The price is irrelevant, because they aren’t for you or regular consumers. They’re already reserved and being shipped to AI data centers.

    I mean this is the standard operating procedure for all top end data center products, they aren't sold on consumer marketplaces but can be purchased by suppliers with existing contracts and relationships

    As they ramp up yields larger capacity drives will slowly trickle into more consumer channels until eventually the 40+TB drives are like the 8-12tb drives are today

  • i have a fantasy of marrying a divorced dad and being the young cool stepmom

  • My wife spotted a couple of strands of grey recently and seemed to get really excited, so maybe she wasn't just playing it up to make me feel better

    I'm just glad it took longer for me than it did for my dad, he went grey in his mid twenties. I remember by the time I was my kids age he was already completely grey, and I still occasionally have people scrutinize my ID when buying alcohol

    Conveniently they've been building tons of prisons that could be put to use for this

  • I love the automation but holy crap do not make me make 20 steps of 20 different widgets just to make one thing, that is the most frustratingly dull form of making things expensive to craft in any factory game. Just add more expensive materials not 20 unnecessary interstitial crafting steps

  • Grand Theft Auto 4 - wasn’t fun to play, though I keep trying since I want to see where the story goes but get too jaded to make it far.

    Around the time GTA 5 first released for console I was playing the (terrible) PC Port of 4 and I got pretty far but ended up stuck at a specific story mission where you need to fly a helicopter and no matter what I just couldn't get the helicopter to fly fast enough to the point where I was either missing something or it was bugged out. Honestly both are solid possibilities. I've never felt the need to return to it and finish that story.

    I did like the relationship building aspect and how folks would randomly call you to hang out. Honestly I feel like that was something 5 should've kept, it definitely made the characters feel a bit more alive and slightly less 2 dimensional

  • Sounds like my experience with the first Watchdogs game. I snagged it a couple of years after launch, thoroughly enjoyed it and it was honestly one of my top games of that year. Apparently that's the trick sometimes is don't buy whatever game at launch

  • I tried so hard with Terraria back in the day but never could get into it. I suppose it was partly because I approached it thinking "2D Minecraft" which it is not

  • I enjoyed Kingdom Come: Deliverence but I couldn't get past the lock picking part of one of the early quests. I'll probably circle back to it at some point

    Jump

  • That is one thing I will say about Culver's, is the quality can very wildly from franchise to franchise. Craig Culver ran a really tight ship but things have slipped a lot at some of the franchises since he retired

  • God bless the Midwest

    Jump

  • Culver's is quite good if you consider it high end fast food (fast casual or whatever the fuck those industry goons call it) and now that every fast food restaurant costs way too much you might as well get good food that's not been pre-prepared

    Also during Lent you can get walleye from Culver's

  • Windows 12 Reportedly Set for Release This Year as a Fully Modular, Subscription-Based, AI-Focused OS

    Jump

  • Yeah I initially saw the OP's article shared on Mastodon by some generally reliable individuals and honestly my BS sensors went wild. The described roadmap by the sources from Windows Central makes a lot more sense for Microsoft given the current environment. Its the exact same thing they did around this time in Windows 10s lifecycle, squash some bugs and quietly reduce the stuff that users generally did not like and weren't being used (such as Cortana, remember that?)
