The d day level of medal of honor was a serious moment. It’s like “yeah, you keep dying and it’s frustrating. You’re watching all these other people die. But that’s what it was actually like.”

There was a moment where I had made it to the buildings and looked back and saw my brothers in arms being mowed down and it’s a different experience than seeing it on TV.

It seems like the thing to do if you don’t use printers is to erase the cups packages from your system to close that port. Not sure it’s even patched yet.

It’s actually pretty decent as a generic 90s square RPG, but fails miserably as a sequel or even as an addition to the Chrono trigger universe to the point that I’m pretty sure most people just pretend there was never another entry in the Chrono series.

One thing is that education isn’t the same globally. You should probably have an other option to account for that.

Then you say “this argument doesn’t exist.”

And it replies “you’re right! That argument has never been a part of package x. I’ve updated the argument to fix it:” and then gives you the exact same bleedin command…

Turns out trying to capture a gas from the air at the scale of gigatonnes is really really hard.

Facts.

Industrial scale power requires massive destruction of nature. That’s the nature of trying to light and heat millions of homes, especially in the winter. The question must become what is the least harmful most effective thing to do. It isn’t as simple as “solar farms and wind farms” since you have to heat and light those homes when the sun isn’t shining and the wind isn’t blowing. “Batteries!” Sure but the environmental devastation from having to build battery banks that large would be overwhelming, not to mention having to size your solar and wind to provide all the province’s power while the sun shines and wind blows meaning there’d be way more than you expect, and then after 30 years you’d have to do it all over again because the batteries, windmills, and solar panels would all have to be replaced.

Water looks nice when it’s at a scale that can’t power anything too. In fact, even small enough scale fossil fuels don’t look that bad. The problem is when you make it big enough to actually provide all the energy you need. One big reason why “reduce” is the most important thing we can do.

The job numbers have been revised in a downward direction pretty consistently[1]. The year over year numbers from the BLS were revised massively downwards a few weeks ago, by 800,000 jobs.[2]

Just remember that of the last 12 months, there’s been something like 11 downward revisions. The bureau of Labor statistics has been doing an abysmal job with its preliminary numbers.

I’m not saying to completely disregard the data, but in a previous month I ended up making the mistake of listening to some of the old podcasts I used to listen to from NPR and APM regarding money, and I don’t remember which one but one of them was just going on and on about how good the numbers were with absolutely no mention of the fallibility of those numbers.

Glad to see a Black and white open source recreation, but you’re correct in this regard. I have black and white on my PC right now in a dark corner.

It actually saved my life a few months back, I had a dying windows server I needed to resurrect and the tools on there were perfect for it.

Hirens boot cd is a great tool if you’re working with windows. You are not always going to need it, but when you do need it it’s awfully nice to have it.

Anyone who owned doom 1 and doom 2 got a new item in their steam or gog library with damn near everything included including stuff like sigil and a new episode they just made.

There’s a new doom 2 RTX mod that clips into that version and it combines ray tracing with voxel art to give the most impressive raycast doom 2 I’ve imagined so far. Well worth a look especially since it’s free for a lot of gamers.

I picked up an Amiga at a yard sale and found floppy disks on Amazon. I didn’t bother buying any and instead bought a gotek floppy disk emulator.

“dad I’m sanic”

I tend to think that right now we’re in an era of Soviet-style hyperrealism because things are actually getting much worse for the common man in many ways, and nobody wants to be the one holding the bag and having to tell people that things actually are as bad as they feel.

I’ve seen quite a few politicians say it outright: “Don’t tell people things are bad, they’ll start acting like things are bad which will only make things worse” – sort of like George W. Bush’s stupid “The economy is crashing, keep spending no matter what” directions to the people. It’s really irresponsible, and one of the reasons why both the people and the state have gotten so much weaker over the past 20 years (They’re expressing more authority but the clock is ticking). Instead of pulling back which hurts the economy in the moment but helps individuals be more resilient and prepared, and instead of pulling back spending when times are allegedly “good” so you spend in the bad times and you spend in the good times, both parties shotgun money into the economy during the “good” times and then also during the “bad” times.

Bread and circuses, and the fall of an empire… Much like 1991 I’m sure.

Having a pair of default gateways could be an issue. On Windows (which I know, isn’t the OS here), you have to be pretty careful because if you’re straddling two networks, you need to pick one network to be the dominant one, that’s the one whose default gateway will get packets heading onto outbound networks.

People get mad at me when I say we need to be careful of the official numbers, this is the second largest revision of job creation in US history. The largest revision was during the great financial crisis.

Really, thanks to the superpower they have of using money that doesn’t even exist (Think you could make money if you could make money out of thin air?) it almost isn’t anyone’s money.

Except when the bill comes due, then it’s the taxpayer’s money. The middle class didn’t need that money anyway.
