Life imitates art, as they say.

Now I’ll finally know how many rocks to eat each day, even if I still won’t know how many Rs are in “strawberry.”

I just lie in every encrypted message I send so even when they crack it they won’t know the truth

In about 60 hours of playtime, Luce will be level 99 and set off to kill God. What have they unleashed?

We are wildly far away from having the technology to do that. A single genome wouldn’t provide the genetic diversity for a sustainable population. We would need hundreds or thousands of genomes for each species to ensure that non-related individuals could mate.

Yeah, super shocked he took a break from saying dumb regressive shit about gaming to say dumb regressive shit about Palestine.

It’s a damn (sorry) good city builder, and the new patch and specifically sluice gates essentially fulfill every desire I had for automating waterworks. I have about 300 hours in game already and will probably log another 200 with this awesome update.

“Superfund birdsite” I am shamelessly going to steal from you

It’s considered doom metal or stoner metal. Metal has a huge number of related subgenres. Sludge metal has more screaming. Stoner metal has more guitar riffs. Doom metal is like stoner metal, but heavier and with lyrics about Dungeons and Dragons.

Time to lose another hundred hours!

I guess I just have to keep Windows 10 with a custom group policy that disables all updates either forever or until I learn Linux.

Linux gaming is getting to the point that I could consider the switch, but I hear scary stories about Nvidia drivers.

Huh, looks like a UE5 game.

There are two definitions of Semitic peoples, one of which is accurate and still in use and another of which is obsolete race science.

Ancient Semitic peoples were a real and well-attested ethnolinguistic group of speakers of proto-Semitic, a branch of the Afroasiatic language family that evolved into Arabic, Hebrew, Aramaic, Amharic, and other languages. The emergence, distribution and development of these languages in the 3rd millennium BC is of great historical importance as Akkadian, the language of ancient Babylon, accounts for some of our earliest examples of written language in ancient Mesopotamia.

The obsolete definition was constructed by German pseudo-historians in the 1700s and 1800s as a way to distinguish Jews, Arabs, and other peoples from “Aryan” whites, which of course influenced the development of Nazi ideology and antisemitism in the sense of discrimination against Jews.

So there’s a real and important definition here if we’re talking about the languages and cultures of ancient Mesopotamia, and a modern definition that was invented by German racists to justify their purported superiority over other “races.”

It’s amazing how good Microsoft is at making money relative to how bad they are at making products.

And so the cycle of hype and disappointment begins anew. The unending samsara of the Avatar fandom.

I’m sure it’s technically possible to reverse engineer the software, but there are also “dumb” chargers that require no software or app. They’re more reliable and cheaper, and there’s no risk of being locked out when a company stops supporting its software.

Me too. They had an old address I lived at five years ago. I’m shaking, I’m shaking.

Check with Intel, not whoever you bought the chip from. They extended the warranty and will replace bad chips. For most models I believe it was extended from 1 to 3 years.
