Don't forget Rupert Murdoch. The modern architects of where we are now.

They are cool bikes, but I don't know if they are perfect for people around my height. One of my friends demoed one and we shrieked with laughter as his foot was hitting the front wheel and the folding rack on the back with every pedal stroke while turning. He's got bigger feet, but average height.

That, along with the eye-watering pricetag, made it a bit of a tough sell to us as rabid bike fans. Still, the idea is good, and we were impressed at how small it folded up. It could use some slightly bigger sizes for people six feet and up. :)

This is really sweet :)

That's super cool :)

Silksong winning GOTY and BGYSA is great. Seeing Peak up there was nice too. I was a little surprised to see BG3- great game, but I thought it was EOLed in 2024 after native steam deck support.

I like movie theaters, but most of the movies coming out aren't very interesting. I don't like superhero movies or COD/John Wick-y movies where the plot consists of people getting punched in the face and going on car chases for 15 minutes.

I miss movies like Interstellar. Weapons was the last movie I saw and really liked in theaters.

I don't think even doing that now will save the them. They'll have to bring in slave labor or stolen children to plug the gap, and it will have to be millions and millions of people.

It's also needed for their HOTAS line, but considering it has sliders, toggles, buttons and yaw, I kind of understand why. It also allows you to bind sliders to keys and such (eg, binding a slider to landing gear)

Grin figured this out a bit ago! Glad to see other companies picking it up too.

Mid 20s! It all worked out.

They look soft and pettable :)

Do plants feel pain?

From what I've read so far, unfortunately, it seems like they might. Plants can communicate with each other and form underground resource networks with other plants, fungi, and microorganisms. Including for illness, boring bugs and pain responses. The smell of fresh cut grass is one of those warning/pain responses.

I've wanted to do some bonsai succulents, but the process towards any living thing seems cruel and painful.

The first thing to be abandoned as soon as the highways fill up with stalled/crashed/flooded cars.

I think you might be talking to the wrong people. I know many people in happy marriages, male and female.

God, I'm so looking forward to a time when science, peace and environmental research are at the forefront of the world's focus again.

One of my friends was a rural police officer, which I didn't know. Dude is super friendly and queer. Unfortunately he had a lot of terribly sad stories of AD&D and DUIs. He finally called it quits when one woman rode up an industrial garage door to impress her friend and got lethally caught in it. Found her friend holding her legs to try and save her. Too many terrible things happened to nice but terribly misguided (or drunk) people.

I think that job hurt his heart.

Also the colonization of Africa to steal all their gold and minerals while propping up warlords in exchange for armed Russian mercs that crush dissent. That's happening right now.

Ehhh, it's still a thing. I had burn in on my S9, and I babied that thing explicitly to prevent burn in. And that was after 4-5 years. My desktop monitors are nearly a decade old starting next year (wow, 1440p still has amazing staying power).

I'd definitely worry about burn-in if you have Teams open for nine hours a day and the taskbar on. It's crazy to me that phones still burn in from casual use. :/

These are dumb "monitors" that are 43 in. It's basically an old TV!

I'm sure you can find other, larger ones too.
